AP -
We all inherit the moon/The Ascent of Everest Split LP

The latest Future Recordings project is one that redefines
the theme of its discography. This time, the "post-drone" label
has brought ambient masterminds We All Inherit the Moon and post-rock wizards The Ascent of Everest together in a 7 track split that may very well sets the standard for modern day music from the respective genres. The aptitudes of both acts join here to craft an album full of adrenaline rushes and unforgettable meditations.

Also on a mostly unrelated note, who doesn't love Quizno Torpedos?!
The Big Kahuna Tuna was at least one of us moons fave thing to order...until learning it had 90 grams of fat.
But that doesn't mean we don't love them.
And what we love even more is ROAD TRIPS.
So check out what our super productive, kickass friend Mike Hedge just got finished doing that in a way, involves us, and definitely involves road trip Quizno's stops.
Check out his videos here (and if you watch the 3rd one, the behind the scenes docustream one, you may recognize the soundtrack):

please be kind. rewind.

As one of the least technologically adept batch of people in the world (at least us WAITM west coast kids), we’re happy to announce our new 10 song release on Scotch Tapes, the self-proclaimed worst hi-tech music label ever!
And that means the Moon can now not only be found on cassette tape, but you can also hear us on EIGHT-TRACK.
So if you want to pop some We All Inherit the Moon in while driving your El Camino or wish it hadn’t been soooooooo long since you’ve added to your 8-track collection, you better head here fast. ***update*** SOLD OUT, sorry!
Even if you don’t own an 8-track player, Scotch Tapes releases are made with love, handcrafted pieces of art and super limited, so you might as well get one.
Because it’s about having a music collection that takes up a whole wall, not a whole hard drive.
Take that mp3’s!!!!!

the ascent of everest pieces are so good you may have trouble remembering to flip the cd but hope you like it all!
p.s. southeasterners and them that like to travel...if you hurry, you can catch the ascent of everest on the last half of their tour (and hear their tale of woe regarding the first half) -

April 17th - Music Farm w/ Crippled Black Phoenix, Charleston, SC
April 18th - 529, Atlanta, GA

monkeying around

alright, it's been about a hundred thousand million days since the last post,,,which means BIG UPDATES!

not sure where to start so here goes -

first of all, Futurerecordings labelmates Oriin (formerly hopeforthestars), just got done recording the sounds of the future with their upcoming album "all things are numbers". it's epic and might make you cry.
set to release end of february...if you're prepared to fall in love, check out the unmastered tracks right here.

and Rob from Goodnight, Sleep Well, just finished mastering some of our unreleased songs for an upcoming Japanese CD! release on our friend Hiro's label. We All Inherit the Moon & CDs?! ...I know!
we love Japan, what can we say?

it'll have the five songs from the vinyl release, plus a new three-part love song and will feature some form of homemade packaging, promise.

you can hear the new songs here and on the futurerecordings page.
all expertly mixed by good friend Jordan Andreen, the brains and ears behind Robot Recording, and mastered by mastering master Rob, so if your band is in need of recording, producing or sonic perfecting, hit Jordan up here or Rob through Goodnight's myspace page.

now that we've branched out of our vinyl-only world, guess what?
this japanese-only cd will also be released in good ol' Obama's US,,,on cassette tape!
be on the lookout for crazyass cassettes soon, via Kinder Tapes.
old school cool gone new school and finally, we'll be able to hear ourselves in the van.

p.s. we're going to have a limited amount of Hiro's CDs for sale too, so if you're not currently in Japan, don't worry.
we want you to save the money you could've spent on international shipping to go to Japan later.

yet more news...
the three-way split with The Ascent of Everest has been upgraded to a full-on split, featuring more songs from both of us, all in the works and near completion, and a Romance of Young Tigers LP of its own coming out too.
no dates set yet but all VERY soon.
and while we're at it, be on the lookout for Goodnight, Sleep Well's new record.
They're in the futurerecordings cannon and ready to explode.

ok, enough pimping. we're just excited about all these new sounds.
if that's not enough for your ears, there's tons more in the works but secret for now.

foggy mornings and fall updates

all systems go in futurerecordings land...music-making is well underway for the three-way split with Romance of Young Tigers and The Ascent of Everest, due to come out end of '08, beginning of '09 (you decide?) and bound to be epic.
if you haven't checked out the spectacular stringsmanship of Gordon Withers, please do.
first and foremost, to hear his benefit CD for J. Robbin's son Cal, an entirely cello-ized and inspiring version of all your favorite Jawbox songs.
and when you buy one (from Gordon's page, if you're shopping), you're helping J. and Janet out with some pretty serious medical expenses, due to Cal's spinal muscular atrophy.
the little man's going on 3 years old and doing great, which is a kickass accomplishment and i'm sure he'd love for you to hear his dad's songs orchestra-style.

second of all, Gordon is now the only member of we all inherit the moon until we manage to catch up to what he did with our songs.
Aaaaaaaamazing strings!!!
but don't worry, Gordon, we're working on it : )
mimi won't let us quit until it's perfect -

losing today

two lovely reviews by losing today - one for the moon & one for ascent of everest.
mark's such an excellent writer, he could probably make politicians seem human...but what a waste.
many thanks mark, for the reviews and for not using your considerable skills to further the dark side!
here they be:

we all inherit the moon
be fair warned those brave enough to venture here may well require counselling or at the very least a re-assuring arm around their shoulder and someone promising that everything will be alright. Hell we’ve bawled ourselves dry throughout the three showcased tracks of this the debut self titled mini full length (5 tracks in case you are asking titled ’part I.….part V’) from the shy eyed trio known as we all inherit the moon. Limited to just 500 vinyl copies and apparently by all accounts a thing of visual beauty featuring as it does exceptional art work, inserts and the kind of attention to packaging detail that these days sadly seems like a dying trade. Anyhow before we go off in search of a copy of our own and earmark it for an immediate full review then I feel a deserved word or two is called for. Measured and elegantly poised We All Inherit the Moon craft out the most alluring of fragile snow globed montages that we’ve had the pleasure of hearing in such a long while. Introspective and delicate the twinkle some ’part 1’ is a sparsely speckled humbling experience of pining pirouettes and sleepy headed collages all rested upon a bed of skittering beats and all trained with a classical eye not so dissimilar it has to be said to the more mellower inclines of Inch Time. With its beautifully conceived Satie like piano braids the frosted ’part IV’ offers a refined slice of intimate sophistication that gently swells and falls edging itself with ease past your defences only to thaw and blossom momentarily before softly reclining into the ether. Best of the set though without question is the lulling lullaby-esque ’part III’ - a wide screen lunatic suite gliding serenely through the voids peppered daintily by chiming corteges and no doubt made of the same stuff that holds the stars aloft in the night sky. Arresting in a word.



the ascent of everest
six piece hailing from Nashville, Tennessee who to date already have one full length tucked under their collective jumpers in the shape of ‘how lonely sit’s the city’ which if these three showcasing cuts are anything to judge by should be elevated up the wants list of any self respecting fan of brooding come epic post rock orchestrating. Nods aplenty to early Godspeed and classic era Constellation and Kranky releases, there’s no refuting that the excellently named the Ascent of Everest know a thing or two about crafting jaw dropping emotionally ravaged symphonies, ‘alas alas the breath of life’ is a hulking babe that within it arcing stately framing has the ability to drag you across a whole spectrum of emotions as it traverses from its lazy eyed string swept noire like slumber to slowly build in texture, density and mass into an all consuming tear welling journey’s end / home coming crescendo that sadly abruptly ends just as things are veering into turbulent fractures. By contrast the effects pedal laden ’as the city burns’ starts turbulently and then settles down to unwind amid lulling atmospherics daintily decorated by the wintry hue of twinkling bells, violins and cellos before unexpectedly being pierced by a celestial ceremony of stratospheric riff arpeggios before receding to simmer only to repeat the process only this time to greater and more volcanic effect - think of a super charged Set Fire to Flames. Last of the trio ’molotov’ - perhaps the best moment here and where the godspeed references are most realised is beautifully decoded in a classically refined sheen, all at once tender and poised the melodies achingly swirl to arc and caress delicately slowly gathering momentum as the showers of cloud parting feedback momentarily rise in heaven bound halos to entwine with the guide lighting violins before dissipating into hiding. Momentous stuff.
