TO THE FEW FRIENDS OF SHOEGAZER ALIVE
Não tenho mais interesse em fazer o blog Shoegazer Alive, mas continuarei o mantendo no ar, com algumas mudanças:
1) Não haverá mais listas de melhores do mês ou do ano
2) Não compartilharei seus posts com outras páginas do Facebook que não sejam as minhas (Shoegazer Alive, Shoegazer Alive 6 e perfis Pedro Damian), a não ser que sejam releases enviados por artistas.
3) Nos programas de rádio, não marcarei mais pessoas.

Quanto menos tempo perder com o blog, música e artistas, melhor para mim

3) On radio shows, I will not tag people anymore.

After a hiatus of several years, Medicine will release a new long-play on October 4. Entitled ‘Scarred for Life’, this 11-track offering will be available on limited edition
vinyl, as well as digitally, via NYC-based label Drawing Room Records. The brainchild of guitarist Brad Laner, the LA-based collective was among pioneers of the shoegaze
genre and today, is one of a small handful of core bands of this genre to
reform and still exist today, along with peers Slowdive, Ride, Swervedriver and
My Bloody Valentine.
‘Scarred For Life’ is a highly ambitious release - an album of all “killer no filler", including tracks from Neil Young, Judee Sill, Miles Davis, The Monkees, and even Bob Welch. This album of all covers is well beyond simple reinterpretation. Laner and company give each track a Medicine-sized dosage of their 'wall of sound' to bless and heal.
Mastered by Adam Gonsalves, each LP is pressed on 180-gram vinyl. It comes with a full color gloss jacket and 22x22” foldout poster. This is an outstandingly eclectic selection of tracks where Laner and cohorts attempt to relive the glory (and none of the fiascos) of old school samplers, like K-Tel compilations. Back in the 70s and early 80s, these samplers provided an economic way to experience the wonders of AM/FM radio dials, being as varied as the Top 40 charts were in their heyday.
This new offering continues a great tradition of feedback-saturated noise-pop experiments dating back to 1991, when Brad Laner formed Medicine with drummer Jim Goodall, guitarist Jim Putnam, bassist Eddie Ruscha and singer Annette Zilinskas, who was eventually replaced by Beth Thompson. Medicine’s current line-up sees Laner, Goodall and Zilinskas reunited, along with guitarist Matt Devine, who played with Medicine on their last US tour in 1995 and also joined the band for their 2014 appearance at Austin Psych Fest.
“Come listen and hell even purchase this album of covers. Above all else, this album was really just some folk's attempt to keep sane in the wake of a certain nameless fascist assuming power back in the dark days of 2016. Mind you, we love it, but the song choices have no cohesive theme and although it’s a bit noisy, we’re not trying to be all anything, or whatever,” says Brad Laner.
Medicine were signed to Creation Records on the basis of the original demo, becoming the first American band to do so. In America, they signed to Rick Rubin's American Recordings label in 1992. Although Pitchfork hailed Medicine as the closest thing to being an American answer to My Bloody Valentine, Medicine’s signature guitar tone managed to distinguish their own music from some of the more ambiguous endeavors of the shoegaze movement.
Medicine is perhaps best known for their cameo appearance in the 1994 film The Crow and subsequent inclusion of ‘Time Baby 3’ on its soundtrack, featuring guest vocals from Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser. Medicine’s first album ‘Shot Forth Self Living’ was released in 1992, followed by ‘The Buried Life’ the next year, gaining them mainstream attention. The band broke up soon after releasing their third album ‘Her Highness’ in 1995. Medicine reformed briefly in 2003 as a duo with Laner and Shannon Lee (daughter of Bruce Lee), releasing the album ‘The Mechanical Forces of Love’.
It would be another decade until Laner would reunite with Thompson and Goodall and release a new studio album ‘To the Happy Few’ through Captured Tracks, followed by their sixth album ‘Home Everywhere’. In 2012, Captured Tracks reissued Medicine's first two albums with bonus material and rarities. 2017 brought the release of ‘2.0 Extraneous’, a collection of B-sides and unreleased material from Medicine's 2003 incarnation.
Over the years, Brad Laner has shown himself to be perhaps the most prolific artists on the underground scene, involving himself on various projects, including his experimental solo project Electric Company and the psychedelic supergroup Lusk (with members of Tool and Failure), receiving a Grammy Award nomination for their sole album. He performed on more than 300 albums, contributing vocals and co-writing on M83's 2011 album 'Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming' and playing drums for industrial rock outfit Savage Republic. Laner's work has been sampled by artists such as Brian Eno and Caribou.
Annette Zilinskas is best known for the musically disparate bands she’s fronted. After co-writing the songs ‘Aruca’ and ‘Miss Drugstore’, she left Medicine as her music troupe The Ringling Sisters had signed with A&M Records. Zilinskas was the original bassist for The Bangles and vocalist with influential roots-punk outfit Blood on the Saddle, whose juiced-up anthems inspired the cowpunk genre, paving the way for the No Depression movement and the related alt-country/Americana revivals. She later led the dream-pop group Weatherbell and punky all-girl garage-rock trio 3 Hole Punch. At the end of 2016, Zilinskas reunited with The Bangles for live performances.
"This LP is like a homecoming for me and Brad playing together again," says Zilinskas.
As of October 4, ‘Scarred for Life’ will be released across online stores and streaming platforms such as Spotify. The vinyl itself will be available exclusively from Drawing Room Records’Bandcamp site.
