An ‘outside of rock’ (electronic) Gulls Window Circus show that seeks to penetrate your mind as you absorb subtle shits in these (sometimes) long tracks. I find myself listening tracks like Theo Parrish or Brian Eno, Holger Czukay, J. Peter Schwalm thinking it is just repetition, than realizing I am in a different place than I started and am bopping to the track. Many of the tracks are not so subtle or profound – they are just solid tracks that work together to propel you to a semi-relaxed mode. I know this sounds like a bunch of contradictions, but give me your trust and sail beside me for these 2 hours.

Today is a CD spinnin’ show on Gulls Window Circus, and also an exploration into the Canadian label The Beautiful Music, accompanied by many fellow travelers in the world of indie rock, power pop, post-punk and art rock. Aside from the joys of The Beautiful Music bands, many of which do well-chosen covers, we have a track from the most recent Saint Etienne fanclub CD, an Empire track (a Sly cover) from a CD put together by Bob Andrews of the band, my Newcastle faves Pale Man Made, and a collaboration between The Dainties Martin Stephenson & The Only Ones John Perry.

The ninth and final show in the Gulls Window Circus 7″ series covers singles ‘outside of rock’. That is an open-ended descriptor for records that may have rock elements, but live more comfortably in other genres. For example, we have Holger Czukay (Can) in a 2011 7″ as Bison, a balearic act (as is Torn Sail). The Babalooneys would be most appropriately filed under ‘surf’. Arab Strap have been a rock duo positively, but their current sound pushes beyond. Marcel Bontempi is a contemporary artist with an identifiable 50s sound, in today’s show doing a cover of The Sonics. Dengue Dengue Dengue are a Peruvian duo, today doing a cover of a track from Giuliano Sorgini’s ‘Africa Oscura’ LP. That is just a handful – every track deserves a plug, and if I wrote this again, I may have highlighted an entirely different few of the records.

The eighth of nine all 7″ singles shows on Gulls Window Circus. Oddities include: The Vanitys, which is a one-off precursor to the duo Science Fiction. Tony, an English band that only released one 7″ in 1996. They get the award for least-findable on the internet… The Tights had the catchy track ‘Howard Hughes’, but we will hear the much different sounding B-side. Other great singles here are from To Damascus, Those Naughty Lumps, Überhund, Vinyl Devotion, Would-Be-Goods, XXX, and The Yardleys. Several releases from the singles clubs we have covered in earlier shows round out another strong show in this series.
