Thanks for the shoutout WEIRD RAP!

As artists clamber to put out sub-par music for Bandcamp day, saturating the music world with mediocrity, devaluing themselves and human culture in general, several of today's releases rise above the rest for me.

Unsung: Sup Bub (feat. Lt Headtrip, Duncecap, Lamon Manuel, Cunabear, Bloodmoney Perez, Bunga, Iceberg Theory, etc.) is a real fun rollercoaster. (Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope Records) http://saserecords.bandcamp.com

serengeti's The Gentle Fall is a sparsely-produced pairing of soft-spoken rhymes backed up by nothing but acoustic guitar. http://serengetidave.bandcamp.com

Wild Height Keech is expertly-crafted western-themed country-fried rock rap (but good). (Cold Rhymes Records) http://heightkeech.bandcamp.com

"Plague Days" is a lament by blacklisted political rapper sole backed by flute-driven trap courtesy of DJ Pain 1. (Sorry, my descriptions suck.) http://sole.bandcamp.com

The 'U Deserve This Beautiful Art Vol. 2' free compilation features some great tracks by Darko The Super, Torito, Tone Tank, Steel Tipped Dove, Serengeti and more. ( ) http://uddtba.bandcamp.com

And finally, the PTP / Purple Tape Pedigree label, besides releasing a lot of great music, has recently been publishing books, including Quartermaster by Joe Cochran - "a monthly journal of vetted research pertaining to the ongoing class struggle. The information housed in these books are collected with the intent to present information outside of the algorithm. It is meant to be a resource for individuals, collectives & organizations to either pool into their own research or begin their own research with this work as it’s starting point." http://purpletapepedigree.bandcamp.com

Oh yeah, Weird Rap itself has a Bandcamp with AMAZING releases featuring Kool Keith, Myka 9, Clipping, Mike Ladd, Rammellzee Beans, Lil Ghostwriter & many more. http://weirdrap.bandcamp.com

The SASE Records August 2020 Board Meeting:

https://youtu.be/vFn1FTcDfIQ

Steve and Brian of Self Addressed Stamped Envelope welcome a new business partner and introduce their second release, Sup Bub by Unsung.

08/08/2020

Unsung’s SASE Records premiere project is a bizarre descent into the subconscious. This fever dream of an album features an all-star cast of characters with songs that take sharp 90 degree turns in various directions. No song overstays its welcome, and the mix of styles is like a one-stop Spotify playlist, curated by your hip cousin for his college radio show. Coming September 4, 2020: Sup Bub

Thank you to all the artists, both those listed today, and those who we hyped in previous posts, for contributing to LENDING LIBRARY. We are hoping the charity compilation will be a yearly project for us, so we’ll see you in 2021 with another comp! But, before then, we’ve got our next release lined up, and we’ll be telling you about in in less than 30 minutes!

The School Band formed in 2002 at Duquesne University. Since then, Brian and Jeff have been on again/off again working on an album, from which the LENDING LIBRARY track “Flowers, Newspapers, Trains” comes. It’ll be out at some point before the heat death of the universe. Follow them on Instagram (Instagram.com/the_schoolband).

‪some experimental, some instrumental, and some a little more straightforward. “Big Minute” #4, shockingly, comes from BIG MINUTE, a collection of songs, you guessed it, one minute long. Check out his Bandcamp for more (https://julianlynch.bandcamp.com/). ‬

Miss Foreign Affairs is one of the musical monikers of Owen Kilfeather. A prolific and diverse musician, Owen’s musical tastes are unimpeachable and his projects are never anything short of fascinating. Hear more at Bandcamp (http://owenkilfeather.bandcamp.com/) or Soundcloud (https://www.soundcloud.com/owenkilfeather).

“Something in the Water” by Dummyfresh is a short track, but is layered with touches of 70s soundtracks, funk guitar, and intimate vocals. Check out his other music on Spotify and follow him on Instagram (instagram.com/thefreshdummy/).

John Vanderslice has been making excellent and critically acclaimed records for over 20 years. “Half Moon Bay” is a gorgeous and unreleased track he exclusively provided to us for LENDING LIBRARY because he’s one of the most generous people in the music industry. Follow him on Instagram (instagram.com/johnvanderslice/), check out his two great studios (instagram.com/grandmascouch.stu/ in LA and instagram.com/tinytelephonerecording/ in Oakland, CA) and support his Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/johnvanderslice) for more excellent music.

“Can’t Go Back” by Sintoria is her debut single, and we’re super thrilled that it is a part of LENDING LIBRARY. You can find the track on Spotify, as well as on our compilation. Follow her on Instagram (Instagram.com/drakesbabyhairr/).

“Every Single Time” by Kevin Holiday begins with synth arpeggios and builds one bit at a time into something unexpected. By the end of the track, the beat has inverted, the bass has come to the fore, and yet those arpeggios remain. Check out Kevin’s other work on Spotify, and follow him on Instagram (instagram.com/holladaze/) and Twitter (twitter.com/_holladaze).

“There’s a Virus” kicks off our comp, and is the first track by Freshwater Fido, aka Olivia and Caleb.
