RELEASE DATE
8/25/2023
Repressed; First ever, remastered vinyl version. The core duo plus guest collaborators expands its sonic palette of
Rick Brown
's elemental percussive patterns and
Che Chen
's ecstatic modal guitar style to a new musical richness. With some tape releases and their first album
Wooden Bag
,
75 Dollar Bill
quickly introduced themselves as one of the hottest, most unique and essential groups at the heart of NYC's underground -- the following
Wood/Metal/Plastic Pattern/Rhythm/Rock
(GB 047CD, 2016) made the duo known internationally, and the 2019 double vinyl
I Was Real
(TW Q-LP) turned out a major success at the critics and audience alike with the #1 spot in The Wire's albums of the year list. Then came the pandemic, and in lack of opportunities to actually perform in public, the core duo of Rick Brown and Che Chen released several Bandcamp only albums in digital format, one of these being
Power Failures
. Brown's elemental percussive patterns (often simply played on a wooden box) and Che Chen's ecstatic modal guitar style (often under the influence of his studies with Mauritanian guitarist
Jeich Ould Chigaly
) are at the core of the tracks with guest collaborators like
Yo La Tengo
's
Ira Kaplan
(guitar),
Sue Garner
(violin), or
Steve Maing
(saxophone, guitar) expanding the sonic palette to a new musical richness. Trance-inducing psychedelia, "
placeless, gripping grooves
" (The Guardian), collaged rehearsal and field recordings, mantric percussion, microtonal guitar sounds -- 75 Dollar Bill sound as deeply rooted in traditions as they sound fresh-of-today, a kind of future music from the past. Hard to grasp by words, and impossible to resist! 180 gram vinyl; gatefold; includes download card.
