But listen closely and you hear the movement so often associated with Ka's work. Prompted by an invitation by Ian Douglas-Moore to perform on a specially tuned Fender Rhodes piano for the Queens concert series “Fire Over Heaven”, these recordings capture Ka's exploration of the Rhodes mechanism's closeness to bells (the instrument being full of metal rods that get struck by felt hammers) as well as emphasizing the variety of consonances and dissonances that don't exist on a standard keyboard. The round notes of the Rhodes flit in the air, meeting their counterparts, forming beating phrases, running parallel to preceding notes. The two become one, back to two and so forth. Much like a thought, shifting over time, congealing, hardening, loosening, moving onto the next. Ka guides us empathetically through these moments with a delicate, but still somehow urgent touch.released August 31, 2026Recorded and Produced by Ka Baird Tuning system by Che Chen Mastered by Andrew Weathers Thanks to: Ian Douglas-Moore, Che Chen, David Weinstein, Outpost Artist ResourcesAlbum Artwork by Ka BairdLayout by Ximena Bedoya https://lobbyarteditions.com/Distro Mon, 12 Oct 2026 17:50:35 +0000 Lobby Art Editions https://lobbyarteditions.com/Distro FORMAT ▼ Text Sound Other <img width="2000" height="2335" width_o="2000" height_o="2335" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/44d2dc3c3fdc581b3cf1335bcc927e0ca33c1abea98e8b2c4fcc89e96d2c3bd9/WTRMB_Back_42d5ec8f-531e-405d-ae91-67869a0a0d3a.jpeg" data-mid="253223453" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/44d2dc3c3fdc581b3cf1335bcc927e0ca33c1abea98e8b2c4fcc89e96d2c3bd9/WTRMB_Back_42d5ec8f-531e-405d-ae91-67869a0a0d3a.jpeg" /> DYLAN HAUSTHOR WHAT THE RAIN MIGHT BRINGCasebound flexicover with printed edges and spine144 pages (with 7 gatefolds), 72 duotone plates8 x 10 in&nbsp;*feautures photographyused for Old Saw The Wringing Cloth READ MORE HERE <img width="1080" height="1350" width_o="1080" height_o="1350" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dd85a919463fafc26627cdf994c6f14abac129da9ea0aa73ea8fe20a864cf79b/JohnnyBooklet.jpg" data-mid="253653528" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dd85a919463fafc26627cdf994c6f14abac129da9ea0aa73ea8fe20a864cf79b/JohnnyBooklet.jpg" /> JOHNNY COLEYWHERE THE SMOKE GOES &amp; AS I SLIP INTO THE SKY (BOOKLET) 8 page 12” booklet matte lamination featuring poems, artwork, and archival photos *does not include vinyl* READ MORE HERE <img width="1080" height="1350" width_o="1080" height_o="1350" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/335d9734d3aa5da267cb370fe00a4b173d5878717c4b01b89a314aaff1cc5b15/JulioBooklet.jpg" data-mid="253653530" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/335d9734d3aa5da267cb370fe00a4b173d5878717c4b01b89a314aaff1cc5b15/JulioBooklet.jpg" /> JULIO LOPEZCLOUD UNKNOWING (BOOKLET)8 page A4 &nbsp;bookletuncoated stock featuring song translations, photos, and writing by Julio *does not include cassette* READ MORE HERE <img width="1200" height="800" width_o="1200" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a7253d5722c740b8902d116b7c030a16fed0f0826922b87c40b992fad114b9b1/0034898335_10.jpg" data-mid="253893823" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a7253d5722c740b8902d116b7c030a16fed0f0826922b87c40b992fad114b9b1/0034898335_10.jpg" /> POST MOVESHEART MUSIC2XLP originally released on WHERE TO NOW?

Designed as a work of art in its own right, the book features a frame—black edge and spine printing—and is completely devoid of text with only a simple title on its cover. The minimalist design sets the stage for an immersive sensory experience that intertwines the tactile and the visual, drawing readers into a world steeped in mysticism. Inspired by David Arora’s mushroom identification guide, Hausthor’s large-format black-and-white photographs explore the rich interplay between human, plant, and animal realms. What the Rain Might Bring delves into themes of storytelling, faith, folklore, and the inherent queerness of nature. The images evoke a sense of pagan, Wiccan, religious, anarchic, and mystic rituals, offering a visual exploration that is at once candid and full of hidden secrets. Within Hausthor’s untamed world, characters and landscapes become conduits, weaving together new narratives that challenge perceptions of reality. The imagery—an owl mid-flight, a procession of figures, an infant nursing at its mother’s breast, a towering mushroom, and spiders in their webs—paints a world where human roles feel fragile, overshadowed by the dominance of nature. Each photograph oscillates between the eerie and enchanting, the humorous and the haunting. Central to Hausthor’s work is a fascination with the instability of fact in storytelling. The viewer is drawn into a space where the line between truth and artistic license is deliberately blurred. Hausthor’s photography integrates elements of ad hoc investigative journalism, disinformation, and performance, disrupting traditional approaches to nature photography. The result is an exploration of a post-fact world, where the boundaries between parable and reality dissolve, leaving the viewer to question what they believe. The book’s structure is anchored by seven delicate gatefolds, symbolizing the consecutive nights Hausthor was visited by a moth—an intimate marker of times that lends the work a diaristic quality.

RECORDS (2022) Heart Music by Post Moves New avant-Americana horizons from Sam Wenc’s Post Moves, meshing folk music with aspects of spiritual jazz, post-rock and avant minimalism in a way that beautifully transcends the sum of its parts. - Boomkat‘Heart Music’ was recorded over the course of 2019 and 2020. The initial intention was not necessarily to produce an album, but rather to explore composing from a percussive perspective and trying to avert relying heavily on the pedal steel guitar and guitar as primary modes of composing. The pedal steel guitar lends itself to such a soft sound palette so even in pieces that are highly structured (Always for Pleasure, Going Right to the Praying Mantis), I wanted to avoid the propensity to let the composition amble along, and rather create a brisk, biting percussive component. This can particularly be heard on "Del Mero Corazon", which pulses along with the droning bowing of the banjo and marimacho before drums kick in and later on the vibraphone. Thematically, much of the music (to me) takes on a somewhat ceremonial feeling and explores the trajectory of exploring intrapersonal contradictions and what it means to navigate a disharmonious public sphere. Films was also a major inspiration for songs and their titles: Wiilka &amp; Phaxsi (named for the characters in the film Wiñaypacha), Always for Pleasure (named for the Les Blanks film) was an attempt at writing something akin to a processional march, "Going Right to the Praying Mantis" &amp; "That's the Boss, Not Some Human!" was a quote of Milford Graves pulled from the film "Full Mantis". On that note, the title of the album, "Heart Music", is in recognition of Milford's exploration of the internal data, knowledge, and ultimately music that is present within our bodies. More so than on previous albums, I felt myself letting rhythm, intuition, and improvisation guide the work, often resulting in longer form pieces that allows myself (and hopefully the listener) to listen deeply, observing moments of tension and harmony tangled, dependent, and resolved by one another. I like playing with blurred narratives, homespun ideas of conventional thoughts that are ever changing in a climate where fixed ways of relating to sound and composition can become something new and mangled in its own right.- Sam Wenc, 2022 https://lobbyarteditions.com/Other Sat, 24 Oct 2026 11:03:58 +0000 Lobby Art Editions https://lobbyarteditions.com/Other FORMAT ▼ Text Sound Other COMING SOON https://lobbyarteditions.com/Johnny-Coley-Where-the-Smoke-Goes Sat, 26 Sep 2026 15:03:09 +0000 Lobby Art Editions https://lobbyarteditions.com/Johnny-Coley-Where-the-Smoke-Goes Where the Smoke Goes by Johnny Coley<img width="1200" height="1200" width_o="1200" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/87472516cbd45d9fe802c3f186451315364efb3ad8d2c29f5581e73c537d9cf8/a1509450898_10.jpg" data-mid="252951585" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/87472516cbd45d9fe802c3f186451315364efb3ad8d2c29f5581e73c537d9cf8/a1509450898_10.jpg" /><img width="1087" height="722" width_o="1087" height_o="722" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fef7fa07edac3dfd8e769b6023da57651b8b003557c9c8a60b435f0ec84e71e5/96AC30A5-784D-4001-836A-293FB3638805_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="252643967" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fef7fa07edac3dfd8e769b6023da57651b8b003557c9c8a60b435f0ec84e71e5/96AC30A5-784D-4001-836A-293FB3638805_1_105_c.jpeg" /><img width="1068" height="735" width_o="1068" height_o="735" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/661186655ccdd6fc5e7f9e041eda76a791ba144d8b0b8fade4fe643c9467b844/62A98259-EC8E-4099-953B-EC01C048C042_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="252643966" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/661186655ccdd6fc5e7f9e041eda76a791ba144d8b0b8fade4fe643c9467b844/62A98259-EC8E-4099-953B-EC01C048C042_1_105_c.jpeg" /><img width="1057" height="743" width_o="1057" height_o="743" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/04695fc29cc07be7c43c675f24bd89080a800e3fea3bed005940ccf946e059c3/25639942-DAEE-4FC7-AA7C-8A49F3214DC5_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="252643963" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/04695fc29cc07be7c43c675f24bd89080a800e3fea3bed005940ccf946e059c3/25639942-DAEE-4FC7-AA7C-8A49F3214DC5_1_105_c.jpeg" /><img width="1087" height="722" width_o="1087" height_o="722" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0fc7fb5052b6f6cc6beb3256aff3d1522445fc6d16d3db6faebbeb7bc043cb56/1FC2B804-B034-4EDD-9F04-3B00F383E02F_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="252643964" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0fc7fb5052b6f6cc6beb3256aff3d1522445fc6d16d3db6faebbeb7bc043cb56/1FC2B804-B034-4EDD-9F04-3B00F383E02F_1_105_c.jpeg" /> JOHNNY COLEY WHERE THE SMOKE GOESWe are honored to present the final two LPs from the late Birmingham, AL-based queer poet and artist Johnny Coley, who passed away in 2025 at the age of 76. Tender, lucid, and slippery poems unspool in Johnny’s signature drawl, charting oblique journeys through the sidereal and mundane. He composes painterly landscapes of his beloved Alabama and imagines waking up in the crowded streets of London. This is Southern Surreal story-telling where each new word opens a door to the familiar unexpected. Both albums feature intimate collaborations with his small cohort of Birmingham-affiliated composers and improvisers that have helped usher Johnny's work to wider audiences with past releases on Sweet Wreath, Mississippi Records, and Astral Editions. On Where the Smoke Goes, Turner Williams Jr. assembles dilating tapestries of fractured Americana with assists from Old Saw’s Henry Birdsey while on As I Slip Into the Sky, Joel Nelson boldly illuminates Johnny’s final improvisations with shimmering analog electronics. All told, these two LPs work in tandem, highlighting the unique terrain Johnny occupied, and capturing the magical twilight peak of a true poetic voice of our strange late American era. Where the Smoke Goes captures the conscious and unconscious of Johnny Coley in duet between 2020-2024 AD. Alabama-born, Marseille-based artist Turner Williams Jr. wraps a selection of his dear friend Johnny’s penultimate compositions in arresting tone poems. The music buzzes and hums with distant trains, trembling strings, and lapping water, haloing our protagonist in a humid glow as he considers whether horses can live to 70 years old, cigarettes potent enough to knock you on your ass, and orchids facing the wrath of winter storms. This work began in the first Covid spring, as Johnny's advancing multiple sclerosis gave way to a permanent domestic confinement and a final period of prolific creativity. Johnny braved the toxic gales of social media to share his thriving poetry and visual art practice and to keep in touch with friends like Turner, who had recently moved abroad. For the first time, Johnny recorded himself, sending Turner fresh poems, day and night. Taking cues from late era Coil and the operas of Robert Ashley, Turner approached these recordings both as language and pure sound, arranging accompanying mosaics that emerge as much from Johnny’s unseen text as his mercurial drawl. Tracks draw from Turner’s solo practice as well as sessions including Henry Birdsey of Old Saw, members of the French underground (Manoir Molle, Loto Retina, Mona Assayag) and close Birmingham collaborators (Jasper Lee, Jimmy Griffin, Ladonna Smith). The voice is parsed and played as an instrument and each poem becomes a score. There is Johnny’s poetry and Johnny’s voice. These are two independent yet interwoven instruments. For Turner, Johnny's vocabulary, cadence, and timbre carry all of the contradictions that he writes about. His work is a dialogue of rich contradictions. "He plays with Southern American vernacular speech in his poetry while embodying it with his speech, creating a zone of emotional frisson. He loved combining opposites. Rough yet soft was one of his favourite descriptors", Turner recalls, "That was Johnny.” Upon hearing the completed record, Johnny likened it to "a beautiful wood box, that when you open it there are fabrics shot through with silk threads and sharp fall-woods smells - supporting and decorating the poems that fall out of them.” This record captures something unconscious, atmospheric, and gives it unexpected materiality. Smoke that you can feel like grass under your feet. Stars that you can touch like a lover. Meeting for the final time in the summer or 2025, the time for words had passed so they just held hands and listened to the album opener "Stargazer” in silence as Johnny drifted off to sleep. released July 31, 2026Produced by Turner Williams Jr. Mastered by Henry Birdseyrecorded, edited, mixed by Turner Williams Jr. in Marseille 2020-2025all poems recorded by Johnny Coley except Goodbye Orchid, which was recorded by Turner in Johnny’s apartment 2024 all poems by Johnny Coley, reproduced from his archiveexcept “Scattered Rainfall” &amp; “Smokeface” which were transcribed by Turner Williams Jr.Johnny, Ladonna &amp; Jimmy recorded by Jasper Lee on Scattered Rainfallshahi baaja, cetera, acoustic guitar, field recording Turner Williams Jr. pedal steel Henry Birdsey cello, voice, wooden flute Mona Assayag electric guitar Jasper Leeviolin Marion Molleflutes, electric guitar Loto Retinaviola Ladonna Smith percussion Jimmy Griffin Artwork by Johnny Coley Images courtesy of Sweet Wreath Art photography by Kelly SchiffPhotography of Johnny by Jasper Lee &amp; Turner Williams Jr.Design and Layout by Sam Wenc https://lobbyarteditions.com/Johnny-Coley-As-I-Slip Tue, 29 Sep 2026 13:00:20 +0000 Lobby Art Editions https://lobbyarteditions.com/Johnny-Coley-As-I-Slip As I Slip into the Sky by Johnny Coley<img width="1200" height="1200" width_o="1200" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a9495dc409a358ed75f71381b847c47faff0dbaf411b20859da839e0d7f9bef2/a2929601368_10.jpg" data-mid="252951586" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a9495dc409a358ed75f71381b847c47faff0dbaf411b20859da839e0d7f9bef2/a2929601368_10.jpg" /><img width="1087" height="722" width_o="1087" height_o="722" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cc12597eaf3a24222a5305b9d361cf6c147e50b9950cd9dfd9c5378ff6d83130/FBDC5B13-CE4B-4FFA-943C-C710F6D82A1A_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="252719699" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cc12597eaf3a24222a5305b9d361cf6c147e50b9950cd9dfd9c5378ff6d83130/FBDC5B13-CE4B-4FFA-943C-C710F6D82A1A_1_105_c.jpeg" /><img width="1057" height="743" width_o="1057" height_o="743" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/04695fc29cc07be7c43c675f24bd89080a800e3fea3bed005940ccf946e059c3/25639942-DAEE-4FC7-AA7C-8A49F3214DC5_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="252719700" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/04695fc29cc07be7c43c675f24bd89080a800e3fea3bed005940ccf946e059c3/25639942-DAEE-4FC7-AA7C-8A49F3214DC5_1_105_c.jpeg" /><img width="1087" height="722" width_o="1087" height_o="722" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0fc7fb5052b6f6cc6beb3256aff3d1522445fc6d16d3db6faebbeb7bc043cb56/1FC2B804-B034-4EDD-9F04-3B00F383E02F_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="252719701" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0fc7fb5052b6f6cc6beb3256aff3d1522445fc6d16d3db6faebbeb7bc043cb56/1FC2B804-B034-4EDD-9F04-3B00F383E02F_1_105_c.jpeg" /> JOHNNY COLEY AS I SLIP INTO THE SKY We are honored to present the final two LPs from the late Birmingham, AL-based queer poet and artist Johnny Coley, who passed away in 2025 at the age of 76. Tender, lucid, and slippery poems unspool in Johnny’s signature drawl, charting oblique journeys through the sidereal and mundane. He composes painterly landscapes of his beloved Alabama and imagines waking up in the crowded streets of London. This is Southern Surreal story-telling where each new word opens a door to the familiar unexpected.

On Where the Smoke Goes, Turner Williams Jr. assembles dilating tapestries of fractured Americana with assists from Old Saw’s Henry Birdsey while on As I Slip Into the Sky, Joel Nelson boldly illuminates Johnny’s final improvisations with shimmering analog electronics. All told, these two LPs work in tandem, highlighting the unique terrain Johnny occupied, and capturing the magical twilight peak of a true poetic voice of our strange late American era. As I Slip Into the Sky reflects a particularly small sliver of time compared to Where the Smoke Goes, with recordings taking place in early 2025, while Johnny was bed-bound in an assisted living facility with multiple sclerosis. Alabama born, Portland based artist Joel Nelson helms the nearly entirely electronic backdrop, posing a new canvas for Johnny, with Buchla music easel bubbling up between Johnny’s lines. This album captures Johnny in a remarkably tender and emotive form. Love and all its permutations. The tangled, but caring nature of familial love, (“But you and me, we can talk on the phone every day. I would never leave you behind”), to the anguish and euphoria of romantic connection. Johnny has a remarkable ability to pose questions, ("What is real love like?), and provide answers that reflect the truest of realities, absent cliche ("I don't know. His curly hair, short on his head, his smile, his smile, his smile...that is what real love is like").Joel Nelson's nimble work across a small array of analog synthesizers creates a flowing backdrop to Johnny's stream of consciousness. At times, Broadcast's fuzzed out ballads come to mind, while at others, early Oneohtrix Point Never's gauzy, distant drones anchor beneath Johnny's slippery syntax. Johnny recorded his poems while confined to a hospital bed, through an iPhone laid gently on his chest. Assisted by the caring presence of John Albea and Lauren Jones, we can hear through these recordings Johnny immersed in his world of words, taking in the world of sounds Joel had provided for him. We hear his breath, at times we hear the harsh sibilance captured by the iPhone microphone, but more than anything, we hear the tenderness and poetic resolve of his caring soul. He was incredibly grateful for the past years of connecting with the small cohort of Birmingham-affiliated musicians and artists who upheld him as the unofficial poet laureate of "The Magic City", Birmingham, AL. Perhaps most appropriately, Johnny closes the album out in a state of gratitude:"My funeral was perfectI was buried wearing a very charming jacketA very charming jacket I just happened to have on when i diedHe was always the lucky one, Mary-Ellen saidI've been looking for a nice casual jacket like that I could wear to casual little outdoor parties and to my funeral all my lifeBut Johnny just had oneProbably someone left it in his carHe was so luckyIt doesn't even make senseBut its trueHe really was that lucky"&nbsp; released July 31, 2026Produced by Joel Nelson Mastered by Andrew Weathersrecorded, edited, mixed by Joel Nelson in Portland, OR 2025all poems recorded by Johnny Coley with the assistance of John Albea and Lauren Jones all poems by Johnny Coley all poems transcribed by Sam WencBuchla Music Easel, Strega, Moog Sub 25 Joel NelsonGuitar on “Rain and a Tin Roof” John AlbeaThanks to Alex Neerman for use of Buchla Music EaselArtwork by Steve Skidmore Images courtesy of Sweet Wreath Design and Layout by Sam Wenc https://lobbyarteditions.com/INFO-1 Sat, 26 Sep 2026 23:58:12 +0000 Lobby Art Editions https://lobbyarteditions.com/INFO-1 US DISTRO The BusinessUK/EU DISTRO Honest JonsEU SHOPS: Boomkat (UK) Sound-ohm (IT) Stoned to Death (CZR) Pop Culture (FR) Aguirre (BE) Bongo Joe (SWI) World of Echo (UK) Bis Aufs Messer (GER)JAPAN SHOPS Tobira Oven Universe Disk Union MeditationsCANADA SHOPS Audiopile Listen Records wholesale orders/questions: lobbyartrecords@gmail.com https://lobbyarteditions.com/Julio-Lopez Wed, 16 Sep 2026 15:24:29 +0000 Lobby Art Editions https://lobbyarteditions.com/Julio-Lopez Cloud Unknowing by Julio Lopez <img width="1200" height="1200" width_o="1200" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cc27065c8acc9aaadd9ed47c7efb82efd37c7a3c6aa3f0facf73947a04f92e93/a2891372470_10.jpg" data-mid="252951604" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cc27065c8acc9aaadd9ed47c7efb82efd37c7a3c6aa3f0facf73947a04f92e93/a2891372470_10.jpg" /><img width="2848" height="4288" width_o="2848" height_o="4288" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6bb8d39000c1cb92a802bee2708a1e441ce4a5322e1d3a265b931e35d1a418cc/DSC_1670.JPG" data-mid="252230061" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6bb8d39000c1cb92a802bee2708a1e441ce4a5322e1d3a265b931e35d1a418cc/DSC_1670.JPG" /><img width="1087" height="722" width_o="1087" height_o="722" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/aaf89f4086324c4a6ef1ae556ba730fbd0ffcc7c76f11f9574ad39a232c0aec1/EF7689ED-5D3D-42E2-9208-DECFD46B6DDB_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="252230073" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/aaf89f4086324c4a6ef1ae556ba730fbd0ffcc7c76f11f9574ad39a232c0aec1/EF7689ED-5D3D-42E2-9208-DECFD46B6DDB_1_105_c.jpeg" /><img width="4288" height="2848" width_o="4288" height_o="2848" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/81781badfdf147fce76e169c5dbdf41a315fdb79f4355ba293b4748be8c52fbe/DSC_1669-2.JPG" data-mid="252230060" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/81781badfdf147fce76e169c5dbdf41a315fdb79f4355ba293b4748be8c52fbe/DSC_1669-2.JPG" /><img width="4112" height="2848" width_o="4112" height_o="2848" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/91a97a7e9b26e32b2fd998f2d88c97903c6e8cbfb88ce07af67a5b903e9806cb/DSC_1642.JPG" data-mid="252230059" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/91a97a7e9b26e32b2fd998f2d88c97903c6e8cbfb88ce07af67a5b903e9806cb/DSC_1642.JPG" /> JULIO LOPEZ CLOUD UNKNOWINGJulio Lopez presents their cartological mapping of lineage, diaspora, appropriation, spirit and song in their illuminating debut album, Cloud Unknowing. &nbsp;Released quietly on bandcamp in the early parts of 2025, we are honored to give the album its due recognition a year and change later. &nbsp;Julio excavates, uncovers, and retraces centuries old songs, asking how one can "hold a feeling in the sound and then letting go." &nbsp;The arrangements on Cloud Unknowing put us in close proximity to Julio - the heat of their voice, the rosin hitting the strings of their fiddle, their embodiment of harmonic complexity. &nbsp;Julio notes this album is their way of addressing "how musical and spiritual knowledge can move disguised within colonial-religious structures of language." &nbsp;Hidden in each of these songs is Julio's deeply researched and felt practice of exploring the interwovenness of inner transfiguration as acts of resistance against the outer structures that frame one's interiority. &nbsp;We hear nods to traditional Irish folk songs, cumbia rebajada, boleros, and transmission arts. The breadth of detail is astonishing and worthy of deep, intentional listening.released August 14, 2026Julio Lopez: voice, violin, guitar, percussion, just-intoned synthesizer, sp404 sampler, tuned radio interference, mesquitesrecorded on Tohono O’odham and Pascua Yaqui land / Tucson, AZ in June 2024 and March 2026mastered by Andrew Weathersmixed by Julio Lopezphotography by Julio Lopeztranslations by Julio Lopeztape layout by Ximena Bedoya booklet layout by Sam Wenc &nbsp;
