Laser Focus #2: Hooker Vision
12.2.13 by Tabs Out

LASERFOCUS2

For the past five years the lawfully wedded duo of Grant & Rachel Evans have been dispensing generous amounts of drone and synth chillers on their label Hooker Vision Records. With releases by their own projects (Motion Sickness Of Time Travel, Crippling, Quiet Evenings, etc) and a proficient crew of worldwide jammers, they have racked up well over 100 releases, mostly on cassette. In Episode #2 of our Tiny Mix Tapes show Laser Focus we talked with them about their home/noise lives and played tapes from the HV catalog by Coyote Image Classic, Cliffsides, Sparkling Wide Pressure, Crippling, Motion Sickness Of Time Travel, and Rambutan. Specifically:

– Coyote Image Classic s/t 2xCS (HV129) from 2012
– Cliffsides “Liquid Mirros” C72 (HV091) from 2011
– Sparkling Wide Pressure “Pretending Eternal” C38 (HV127) from 2012
– Crippling / Digtal Natives split C24 (HV123) from 2012
– Motion Sickness Of Time Travel “Eclipse Studies” C41 (HV133) from 2013
– Rambutan “Partial Wires” C30 (HV101) from 2011

It’s no secret that we have a label crush on La Cohu. Charles BarabĂ© started up the imprint only last year, but we’ve been smitten with every release that has crossed our path. Audio and aesthetics are always top notch when it comes to La Cohu jams, and their final batch for 2013 looks like it’s gonna be one of their most primo offerings. The six cassettes will include sounds from Forming, Chapels, Calypso Borealis, Vast Glory, Wapstan, and a split between Hobo Cubes and BarabĂ©. Sample ’em below and do up a preorder for $40 ($49 outside of US/Canada).
