Guy Blakeslee - EXTRAVISION
After a limited self-release in 2022, EXTRAVISION, the deeply therapeutic musico-psychonautic offering from experimental guitarist Guy Blakeslee has received the Leaving Records “all genre” re-release treatment, with the understanding that more listeners should hear with this vulnerable and graceful document. The record is, in a word, a balm. Like a window flung open on a sweltering day, EXTRAVISION occasions the sudden awareness of space, of calm, of context, of possibility. The record also catalogs a musician’s search for meaning and healing in the wake of catastrophe.
Since its initial run, Blakeslee has been bracingly open about EXTRAVISION’s genesis. On March 13th, 2020, while walking across the street, Blakeslee was struck by a car. Upon regaining consciousness the following day, the hospitalized Blakeslee found both the outer world and his inner world suddenly transformed. As lockdowns took effect, it was immediately clear that the brain injuries Blakeslee sustained had not only affected his vision but altered his very consciousness and would inevitably affect his music-making.

On Soft Echoes:
“Gathering an ensemble that includes Anna Butters on bass, Julian Rodriguez on keys, Devin Daniels on saxophone, and Timothy Angulo on drums, Shashidhar sought to create a band that ostensibly functioned as an extension of herself. Her primary goals in writing these songs were to “let [her] body do what it wanted to do,” to trust her intuition, and “play without judgment.” Through that process, making Soft Echoes became a practice of presence and exploration, a chance to unlearn rigid structures and rediscover the joy of creating for oneself.
From Shar:
“The first single Soft Echoes from my album is finally here.
Thank you Rob, Sloz, Tim, Anna, Julius and Devin for supporting this music so skillfully and beautifully. Also huge thank you to Rajni, one of my favorite artists, for creating the artwork. I am so privileged to be able
to be a musician and my heart is really full. I hope this reaches you.”

OUT NOW • Most of this recording was made during a single early evening in Southern California, outdoors, with the San Bernardino Mountains in view.
• Sam Wilkes played bass guitar, Craig Weinrib played trap drums, and Dylan Day played electric guitar.
• Eight months after that dusk recording session, the trio reconvened to capture a few more pieces. Wilkes wanted to hear Dylan play a Jobim melody (How Insensitive), Dylan wanted to hear Craig play a funeral march (When I Can Read My Titles Clear), and Craig wanted to play nice and gentle.
• The resulting record, a document of an initial and seemingly fated musical encounter, conveys the ease and the intensity of the trio’s chemistry. Their shared sonic affinities, while essential to the record’s sound, feel secondary to the integrity, confidence, and mutual regard that suffuse each note and every beat.
• Atop standards, folk songs, and hymns, Wilkes, Weinrib, and Day unfurl a series of cascading improvisations. Joyful and precise music.
• Sam Wilkes is from Westport, Connecticut and lives in Los Angeles, California. Craig Weinrib is from New York and lives in New York. Dylan Day is from Fletcher, Vermont and lives in Los Angeles, California.

Continuing in the spirit of her previous work for Leaving (Eurybia, 2022) Bird Bath uses fantasy as a musico-devotional choreography where Francesca’s intuitive and impressionistic approach to composition, reefs of midi arpeggios, constellations of samples and foamy ambiences become instruments to build and connect the virtual, spiritual and earthly channels of the artist’s labyrinthine and spellbinding world.

Low Leaf is the long-running and multivalent project of Los Angeleno and multi-instrumentalist Angelica-Marie. Riding the wake of 2023’s Microdose—melding/channeling free jazz, astrology, hip-hop, eco-spirituality, and geo-political anger—Red Moon (out now on Leaving Records) is a tight, three-song release, a snapshot of Low Leaf during an especially dynamic period.

the struggle persists yet remarkably so do we
*A few years ago and I were really beginning to finally get to know one another through our shared LA music community experience, talk on the phone, drink wine (more me than him), and hang out listening to & deeply discussing music. One night our mutual friend was hosting one of his now-legendary private salons at his home when I bumped into Fabiano with an idea to gently influence him into more formless/ambient guitar music collaboration with me and Leaving Records. I was recording long-form subharmonic synthesizer drone pieces during this time, solely, as a practice of private meditation & sound therapy, so I sent him a synth drone in the key of G which he soon thereafter proceeded to record, and mix-down what is now - as of today - the freshly released “Ohayou”: 10+ minutes of masterful meditative guitar exploration music. We hope you enjoy the listening experience as much as we enjoyed creating the music. -MD
