RIP Rosie Davis.
LVEUM was working on releasing CRY OUT 12 by the time I heard the terrible news of Rosie passing away. After much thinking I decided that the best way to remember Rosie the way she was would be by releasing the record. At the time of her passing the recording wasnt finished, neither was the artwork. I am still working on the artwork but as of now, July 11th, the record has already been cut and it is at the pressing plant. I expect to have the record ready in 5-6 weeks but please if you order it be patient as artwork may delay it.
For the Canadians reading this, there will a very big chunk of the press going directly to Montreal and Halifax.
Profit of the record and downloads will be sent to Rosies family.
Our take: Cry Out is a solo project from Rosie Davis, a Canadian musician who passed away earlier this summer. More Echoes was a work in progress when she passed, and from what I understand, La Vida Es Un Mus had already planned on releasing it, and helped coordinate the records completion so it could get an official release. Its an outstanding record, and Im happy to have it, though sad to know that we wont get to hear more. Cry Out takes a lot of inspiration from classic anarcho punk (the cover art and the track Fucked Silly both reference Crasss Penis Envy album, for instance), but its sound spans that genres eclectic breath, even traveling outside it a bit for Garden Song, which (as LVEUMs description notes), recalls Sad Lovers and Giants gloomy and melodic post-punk. Your Shame Not Mine has all of Crasss punk experimentalism, War Aesthetic is a catchier punk track in the Crisis / Zounds mode, and Fucked Silly is a jittery, upbeat song a la Crasss early records. While these are reference points, More Echoes doesnt feel like an imitation, but an attempt to summon the same muses, and the primitive recording and drum machines also give it a unique flair. Theres a lot packed into these 11 minutes.
