SUNSHINE FIX A Spiraling World of Pop 1993

 

Discogs

 

Artist Biography by Sean Westergaard

The Sunshine Fix was the brainchild of Bill Doss, former member of the Olivia Tremor Control. After the breakup of OTC, the Sunshine Fix showed Doss to be the Paul McCartney to Will Cullen Hart's John Lennon. Leaving the radical experimentalism of OTC to Hart's project Circulatory System, the Sunshine Fix focused on the more pop end of the spectrum, even incorporating some country and soul influences on their debut EP, A Future History of the Sunshine Fix. With the help of other members of the still-fertile Athens, Georgia, scene and the Elephant 6 collective, the Sunshine Fix put out their debut full-length, Age of the Sun, on the Emperor Norton label in 2002. After a shift to Spin Art records, the group released its second full-length, Green Imagination, in 2004. Sadly, Bill Doss died in July 2012 at the age of 44.

MUSIC TAPES First Imaginary Symphony For Nomad 1999

 

Discogs 

 

Artist Biography by Heather Phares

Though the Music Tapes are seen primarily as a spinoff from the Elephant 6 music collective, which includes bands like Neutral Milk Hotel, the Olivia Tremor Control, and the Apples in Stereo, they began as the brainchild of Julian Koster. As a 16-year-old, Koster conceived of his early recordings, like the "Silly Putty Symphony" as a surreal soundworld to escape into and share with friends. This motivation also fueled Koster's band at the time, Chocolate U.S.A., which eventually evolved into the Elephant 6 projects, including Neutral Milk Hotel, in which Koster performed as a multi-instrumentalist. When he decided to resurrect the Music Tapes in 1995, Koster enlisted the help of Jeremy Barnes, another member of Neutral Milk Hotel. Their first single, Please Hear Mr. Flight Control, was released three years later, and featured a variety of sounds and antique and contemporary instruments, as well as pop-up artwork. The 1999 debut album 1st Imaginary Symphony for Nomad had a similar aesthetic: a wax cylinder recorder and a wire recorder were used to record it, and a supplemental comic book was also included. 2008 saw the release of the like-minded Music Tapes for Clouds and Tornadoes, which took nearly nine years to record, and 2012 heralded the arrival of the Purim's Shadows (The Dark Tours the World) EP and the full length Mary's Voice.
