When We Were Dancing

by Red Pants

supported by

Michael Stone Like the best hazier/heavier Yo La Tengo stuff, great textures front to back and super catchy. Favorite track: Broken Movies.

djclarkmusic A great album that instantly coaxes feelings of nostalgia despite just being released. I didn't really notice that "red pants sound" until listening to this album and feeling suddenly that I had to revisit Distortion and Snow. Thanks for the good vibes. Favorite track: Another Haircut.

about

Like a crisp winter night in the suburbs: moon shines through frosted branches; sidewalk lit by a lone streetlamp; each new step crunches snow underfoot. Madison, Wisconsin’s Red Pants takes droning layered guitars, raw drumming, and murmured vocal melodies and makes beautiful noise pop on “When We Were Dancing”.

Red Pants is the solo project of Jason Lambeth: curator and owner behind Painted Blonde Tapes, avid 4-track cassette user, father (the subjects in most of his music videos are his two daughters), and all-around supporter of independent & DIY music-makers. Jason is joined by longtime collaborator Elsa Nekola on drums and vocals to complete their most spacious sounding album yet.

One of the promo photos Red Pants sent over was Jason and Elsa standing outside a large red barn in the cold. A fitting photo for the snow-crunching distortion on tracks like “Lost Momentum” and “Never Enough”; two nearly-shoegaze rockers. But there has always been a kind of domesticity to Jason’s work: inside the warmth of the barn, we have tracks like “In The Passing Time” or “Humming”. His love of lo-fi cassette recordings and 90s indie rock seem to flow together to form a work that’s both intimate and intense.

Shop Regulars Meet Ian Christensen At Dino Alley

Pseudo locked groove guitars, aggressive pitter-patter drumming, and vocals that sound like Sara Carter channeling Calvin Johnson- what's not to like from Portland's See My Friends Records affiliates? Paisley Shirt Records

You Might Be Happy Someday
by The Reds, Pinks & Purples

The seemingly endless output of The RP&P's catchy chorus-jangled melancholy keeps you coming back for more and more. Like if you captured Robert Smith's mindset during "The Head On The Door". Paisley Shirt Records

I think I was supposed to release this album in 2016, but either I stopped responding to Gourmet's emails or Gourmet stopped responding to my emails. Regardless, the release did not happen. Paisley Shirt Records
