Moon Magnet Compilation, Vol. 4

简介

The UMS is a special time of the year...the best weekend of the year, when all the Moon Magneteers come out to play. In 2013 we taped as many mylar space blankets together as we could and did an absurdist parade around Broadway one night of the UMS. Every UMS we record a song. One year Riley Geare from Unknown Mortal Orchestra was hanging out at Moon Magnet and I recorded him playing drums on a song. That session morphed into what became the title track off of déCollage’s last album, Magnetize. One year we recorded an hour long acapella album of nonstop ambient vocal loops with members of Sunboy and Ancient Elk called Camp Forever Friends. In 2015 Cody Coffey, Megan Crooks, Ryan Schlichtman, and Derrick Bozich recorded a song called “Beautiful Mess”. The songs are always directly about the magic of UMS and on this one Cody sings a play on words about UMS and “Ur a Beautiful Mess”. It’s finally getting released on this compilation! We wanted to do something special and include a bunch of our friends who are playing UMS on one Comp. Laura Goldhamer ran a collective called Long Spoon and released a compilation in 2008 featuring Paper Bird, Ian Cooke, Kitty Crimes, and Griff from Inner Oceans. It had a huge impact on my group of friends and that was the impetus for starting Moon Magnet and releasing compilations in the first place. “Local outfit Moon Magnet is hard to pin down. All at once a label, a house, a studio, an audiovisual collective and a group of like-minded friends and artists — the group approaches psychedelic-pop with a distinct air that is multifarious, infectious and delightful.” ~ 303 Magazine "Denver's Moon Magnet Studios sparkles: Aluminum foil covers every inch of space where there isn't a musical instrument or a soundboard, and streamers cascade down from the ceiling. It's in this studio that producer and musician Reed Fox successfully pitched a single song, "Womb of the Dawn," to the folks at the tape label Custom Made Music. With that under his belt, Fox decided to turn one song into a compilation tape. Moon Magnet Comp Vol. 4 was pulled together in just a few days, with over 33 artists contributing to the work. Acts include Retrofette, Rubedo, Dandu, King Eddie, Venus Cruz, members of Esmé Patterson's band, JJUUJJUU, Sound of Ceres/Candy Claws, Ancient Elk and OptycNerd." ~ Denver Westword “In 2015 Cody Coffey, Megan Crooks, Ryan Schlichtman, and Derrick Bozich recorded a song called “Beautiful Mess.” On it Cody sings a play on words about UMS and “Ur a Beautiful Mess.” It’s finally getting released on this compilation!
