J. SPACEMAN & KID MILLIONS

LIVE AT LE POISSON ROUGE


Tracklist A - Misha    
B - Han    

7": C - New York    
7": D - London


"On September 11, 2013, J. Spaceman (Jason Pierce of Spiritualized and Spacemen 3) and Kid Millions (Oneida, Man Forever, People of the North) took a night off of their US tour with Spiritualized to perform an improvised set at (Le) Poisson Rouge, in Greenwich Village. Northern Spy was there to document the show.

The resulting 12"" LP comes with an accompanying 7"" and will be limited to 3000 copies worldwide, released for Record Store Day 2014 (April 19).

Throughout their respective careers, both Spaceman and Millions have navigated the various sub-genres that fall within the rock and experimental labels, and, on this album, we find the two artists exploring elements of their counterparts prior work in a fresh and unique way. Spaceman uses Millions' free style of drumming as a cue to eschew the pop melodies and structures he worked with on his last release, 2012's, Sweet Heart, Sweet Light.The record's first side - titled ""Misha"" - features 24-minutes of Spaceman’s minimal guitar and piano parts along with Millions’ eclectic, yet subtle drumming. The pairing of these elements yields a dreamy and celestial atmosphere that could compare with anything from Spaceman’s famously mind-altering catalog. Side two of the 12"" - titled ""Han"" - focuses more on the chaotic nature of the two musicians’ past. Spaceman makes use of his distortion, tremolo and wah-wah pedals, while Millions goes into full freakout mode on the drums, never allowing the audience to fully lock into a groove. The duo steadily builds and eases tension, keeping the listener fully engaged over the track’s 21-and-a-half minute runtime. As mentioned before, accompanying the LP will be a 7"" featuring two cuts - ""New York"" and ""London"" - that showcase Spaceman's more rock inspired noise stylings and Millions' absolute disregard for consistency and predictability.
