Track 4 features Page Foster (Vocals)
(review via Arts Extract Podcast 07/01/13 >)
” Watercourse Quartet showcases the willfully unsettling improvisations of four players who’ve each left a distinct mark on Madison music. Several of the Quartet’s members play in the ambitious avant-jazz band Lovely Socialite Mrs. Thomas W. Phipps […]; bassist Ben Willis has played behind Anna Vogelzang. Cellist/multi-instrumentalist Brian Grimm has recently played some live sets with Julian Lynch, and lately has composed everything from original scores for Madison theater companies to the cracked instrumental hip-hop of his project Brain Grimmer. Grimm and his brother A.J., record dense compositions under the name The Brothers Grimm. […] the album mixes cello, upright bass, classical guitar, and Chinese stringed instruments in sometimes-scraping, playfully obtuse pieces. “

MINE ALL MINE RECORDS to release CASSINGLE SPLIT with:
Mine All Mine Records will release a split-cassette this weekend in Milwaukee and Madison, with new singles from Lovely Socialite and US, Today.
In July, Lovely Socialite returned to Blast House Studios and recorded their sophomore album, (yet unnamed). Preview Socialite’s new single “All Things At Once” now on Arts Extract Podcast. – In addition, be sure to check out the first single “Star-Spangled” below, written by Corey Murphy:
/
We are thrilled to join forces with US, Today! If ever Lovely Socialite had a sister band, here she is! If you dig Mrs. Phipps, come out on 11/8 & 11/9 to hear the good news of US, Today.
Jeff Mellott lays down driving DnB jazz drumming. Joel Griggs fills the role of guitar & bass guitar, sometimes in funky singularity. Kristin Agee, the group’s impressive multitasker, can be found spinning beryline vibraphone tones, while her extraterrestrial theremin work whisks by.
