ushering in the season with some holiday fear - a plunge back into the body’s () brutalizing world 🌎🪦

formed in 1999 in little rock, arkansas (where chip, lee, and a certain proprietor of rvng grew up), the body has since haunted the shadowy underbellies of providence and portland with their savage / seismic / suffocating sounds. mixing the impossibly colossal beats of drummer lee buford with the visceral shred and piercing howl of guitarist / vocalist chip king, the body is a jarring collision that obliterates all notions of formal classification

in 2014, the body and rvng released i shall die here, their fourth full-length studio album. a crushing, crucial collaboration with composer and producer bobby krlic (aka ), the record fuses krlic’s downtempo soundscapes with the body’s relentless dirge, summoning a pitch-dark fusion of experimental electronic music and doom metal

the body returned to this deep, dark well in 2023 to release i shall die here / earth triumphant, an expanded double album featuring the raw, pre-haxan full-length album that would ultimately become i shall die here. a lethal burst of raw ferocity, earth triumphant is a window into the origins of an enduring rvng classic

since its release, i shall die here’s influence has expanded in direct and indirect ways. in 2021, musician and visual artist discovered a poster of ’s iconic artwork for the album insert poster stubbornly hanging in a subletted cambridge apartment. unaware of its origin, its image ultimately enraptured her, guiding her visual language and inspiring the cover of her spectacular 2025 record unobsession. i shall die here, and die here again

this year, the body reissued all the waters of the earth turn to blood, another double album classic, and collaborated with noise duo to release was i good enough?, further pushing their ferocious impulses to the outer limits

big recommendation to check out these releases, and show some appreciation for some true visionaries🩸

in 1971, peter ivers relocated to los angeles in a bright orange volkswagen, settling into a cozy laurel canyon rental that would become the nexus of his home demo’ing practice

ivers was no stranger to music: a self-taught, virtuosic songwriter, composer, and harmonica player, he released knight of the blue communion, his psychedelic debut album in 1969, and performed regularly around cambridge (where he attended harvard) with the popular blues-rock group street choir. his westward move, however, guided him towards the world of cinema, and he adopted a musician-in-residence position at the american film institute

It’s there that ivers met the legendary filmmaker david lynch, then an afi also freshly settled in la from missoula, montana. the pair immediately formed a bond, united by a shared fascination with “arcane spirituality and a mutual love for the shadowy corners of traditional jazz and blues,” as jesse locke described for qsljmp

this kinship quickly evolved into a creative partnership as lynch began work on his acclaimed midnight movie sensation eraserhead, a film featuring music from a fats waller record straight from ivers’ personal collection. with lynch penning the lyrics, ivers composed the eerie, entrancing classic “in heaven,” crooned by the lady in the radiator in an iconic lip sync to ivers’ haunting falsetto

in 2019, rvng assembled an array of studio outtakes and intimate demos from ivers’ archives at harvard to create becoming peter ivers. “in heaven” manifested once again in this collection as a spectral / spectacular arrangement of drum machine, harmonica, and piano. the compilation stands as a love letter and tribute to the late great artist, and to the incredible art he left behind, and all too soon

rest in peace, peter ivers ♡

extended field, the frkwys collaboration between avant-rock evangelists and minimalist composer / phenomenon , materializes in this world today ⿴

the seeds of this project were planted nearly a decade ago, with online conversations of mutual admiration initiating a long, winding journey towards an irl collaboration. a road not without challenges, as is inevitable in any artistic partnership between musicians of different generations, both parties remained patient and open, learning the finer points of one another’s harmonic preferences and fusing them into a single, unified sound

the result of this convergence of dreyblatt’s hyper-focused practice and horse lords’ contagious energy is a brilliant spectrum of psychoacoustic sound. both parties stretch their sonic boundaries without sacrificing the primacy of their own musical instincts, creating a soundscape full of shimmering harmonies and ecstatic, erratic rhythms

extended field marks the first frkwys release since 2021’s collaboration of ka baird () and pekka airaksinen (rest in power, pekka). like its predecessors, it represents the culmination of a true exchange of knowledge from one generation to the next, and of the interpretation and application of this knowledge in unison. for rvng, this exemplifies the ideal outcome of a frkwys collaboration: an intergenerational dialogue transformed into a work unburdened by time

horse lords and arnold dreyblatt’s frkwys vol. 18: extended field is available now in vinyl and digital editions via the rvng store, , and all digital platforms ⚡️

in honor of the one and only ’s birthday, a celebration of her inimitable artistry 📻

born to a mother who worked as a variety show and jingle singer, monk grew up in radio control booths, quietly observing her mother sing into towering microphones. this early immersion in sound fostered an inclination for sonic exploration, guiding monk towards a lifetime pushing the limits of the human voice

since her start in the 1960s, monk has been widely celebrated as a pioneer of “extended vocal technique,” crafting mesmerizing vocal soundscapes that transcend language and conventional forms of communication. her radical, shamanistic works obliterate the boundaries of past and future, creating timeless pieces admired by the likes of björk and terry riley, and sampled by dj shadow and (rvng’s own!) blondes

after a 1972 tour through england and france, monk began work on her revered interdisciplinary work quarry: an opera in 3 movements, which premiered at in 1976. a masterful meditation on wwii and recurring cycles of fascism and violence, quarry also reflects monk’s lifelong fascination with radio. pre-recorded versions of monk’s compositions would play at select moments of the show, emanating from a 1940s radio and washing over the audience

in 2014, compiled these previously unreleased compositions into radio songs, an ultra-limited, ultra-special lp designed by and published and (partially) distributed by rvng. radio songs stands as testament to monk’s truly unforgettable body of work

happy birthday, meredith 🎈

with extended field, the intergenerational frkwys collaboration between and , arriving into the world this friday (!!!), we take a moment to highlight the life and work of singular psychoacoustic pioneer / phenomenon arnold dreyblatt 🎻⚡

in 1974, while studying video art at suny buffalo, dreyblatt encountered a performance of alvin lucier’s “still and moving lines of silence in families of hyperbolas,” in which pure sine waves caused a player-less snare drum to repeatedly resonate. astounded by the piece, he promptly relocated to new york to study under iconic minimalist composer la monte young, whose work in avant-garde music explored the sonic possibilities of sustained drones and serialism

it was there, among friends and contemporaries arthur russell and rhys chatham, that dreyblatt began his decades-long pursuit of exploring the physical properties of sound using hand-crafted instruments. his first creation was the excited strings bass: a double bass strung with piano wires, producing shimmering clouds of metallic overtones when struck. this exploratory approach extended to his compositional practices, which employed a self-devised tuning system residing beyond western conceptions of melody / harmony

dreyblatt would later incorporate his excited strings bass into his groundbreaking 1982 album nodal excitation, an ecstatic work overflowing with kinetic energy. its driving, percussive patterns and resonant harmonies stand as harbingers of the innovative practices that would remain at the heart of his art

decades later, dreyblatt now resides in berlin, continuing to explore the ringing qualities and physicality of sound in his compositions. extended field marks the latest chapter in his creative journey, a truly transcendental experience not to be missed

horse lords and arnold dreyblatt’s frkwys vol. 18: extended field arrives this friday, november 21, 2015 in vinyl and digital editions. available now for pre-order via the rvng store and bandcamp

’s graze the bell marks the first widely shared solo piano album from the bing & ruth leader. a collection of soul-stirring, mesmerizing pieces that meditatively inquire into the human condition, graze the bell is a sanctuary of sound and the most distilled offering of david’s artistry to date 🔔🪁

moore’s solo piano offering is not simply a return to any place or time, but to a luminous center that transcends both. graze the bell contains a hidden map of personal experiences, its entrancing melodic repetition navigating the way, stirring hidden feelings, and recalling us to our shared center

today we share “rush creek,” the benevolently haunting first chapter of graze the bell, and a taste of the album’s vivid spectrum of fluctuating emotions. the track’s title refers to a creak near black mountain, nc, where moore lived during the deep uncertainty of the early pandemic. like the creek, moore’s plains rollicks and iridesces, evoking the impermanence of life with tender vim

the single emerges today alongside a captivating video directed by the incomparable , capturing the entrancing repetition of moore’s melodies in live performance

to celebrate the release, moore will perform at brooklyn’s on february 12, 2026. an event, and experience, not to be missed

a spiritual homecoming of sorts, graze the bell is available for pre-order now, direct from the rvng webstore in lp, cd, and digital editions. the album emerges in its entirety on january 30, 2026 💿

after fifty years, fire of god’s love descends from the heavens into our orbit today, now available via the and rvng web stores, and across all streaming platforms ❤️‍🔥🕊️

among the records that have achieved legendary status over the years, some demand attention through sheer musicality, while others pique curiosity with a captivating story. fire of god’s love is one of those rare instances where both of these elements meet, intertwining to create an enduring experience that is both endlessly fascinating and musically rewarding

as a bona fide holy grail (not just for collectors), fire of god’s love is also a documentation of the creative partnership between two women and mystics: sister irene o’connor and sister marimil lobregat, who channel their divine energy and devotion to god through electronic, echo-drenched experimentation. a precursor to many charming, spacey acts in the years and decades that followed, fire of god’s love remains an incomparable record that casts an irresistible spell

for decades, fire of god’s love was discussed more often than heard, its presence restricted to the circulation of dubious bootlegs and the hands of crate-digging collectors. this release is the first time that this truly beguiling album has been officially licensed from the artist herself, who is alive and well, living in her native australia at the young age of 93 (!)

we feel truly honored to finally return fire of god’s love to this world with its first proper reissue, and to play a role in the ongoing story of this truly special and unique album

praise once more to craig calhoun () and matt mcdermott () for their help and guidance making this dream a reality ☁️

fire of god’s love is available now in limited fire marbled and black vinyl, cd, and digital editions 💿

looking ahead to next week’s release of extended field, the intergenerational frkwys collaboration between and , with a look back on how the artists’ musical journeys first intertwined □◇□◇□

long before their paths would cross, the two parties had already cultivated a mutual interest in one another’s work. for dreyblatt, this moment occurred in february 2017, when a friend’s suggestion introduced him to horse lords. captivated by the striking similarities to his own music, he quickly resonated with the band’s sound and reached out through . meanwhile, horse lords were devout admirers of dreyblatt: “hearing arnold’s music for the first time was a highly resonant and uncanny experience, so strange in its familiarity”

after years of correspondence, the artists finally met after a 2021 horse lords show in berlin. a creative partnership instantly sparked from the encounter, and a collaboration was swiftly proposed

in the composition sessions and rehearsals that followed, the groups delved into the intersection of their sounds, carefully bridging their different harmonic conceptions and reconciling their distinct musical languages. sonic discoveries would ultimately emerge from this exploratory process, yielding a series of unexpected possibilities and surprising developments. the result, as dreyblatt describes, is a “true collaboration across generations—a whole greater than the sum of its parts”

horse lords lead off their recent mix for rvng’s friends & fiends monthly show on with the title piece from dreyblatt’s seminal debut album released in 1982 by india navigation records. now streaming from the station’s archives 📻 🗃️

horse lords and arnold dreyblatt’s frkwys vol. 18: extended field arrives next friday, november 21, 2025 in vinyl and digital editions. available now for pre-order via the rvng store and bandcamp

emerging from the shade of ’s under a familiar sun comes a pair of radiant reimaginings from and .band ☀️

rosie lowe reshapes “esrever ni rehtaf” into a lush dream-space of 808s, idiosyncratic piano stylings, and tranquil vocals. a passage through soulful, drum-driven corridors speckled with subtle euphoria, lowe’s interpretation is a celebration of the here and now, a serene serenade to the gift of birth

meanwhile, .band adds their singular lyrical magic to “requiem for reem”, transforming the contemplative piano-based work into a shimmering vocal lullaby. gentle horns slowly envelop their voices, cocooning the ambient-jazz composition in waves of peace and culminating in an atmosphere of contentment and calm

both reworks arrive today alongside a pair of entrancing visuals from and . soon, the vernon spring will round out the year with a pair of shows in spain and a special headlining show at london’s queen elizabeth hall

keep an eye, and ear, out for more to come in 2026…🤫
