about

(SOLD OUT) at j-and-c.bandcamp.com

Two tapes and four hours of gorgeous drone and ambient music by Tanner Garza (Black Leather Jesus, Servant Girl Annihilator)- the most immersive release on J&C yet.

Highly recommended for fans of SOTL, Basinski, The Dead Texan, Kyle Bobby Dunn et al - a genuinely enormous and potentially important release in the lush drone/ambient genre.

"While we rarely have four hours to dedicate to relaxing or drifting, I urge you to try to find the time to get lost in songs like “Goblins,” “Takes You There,” and “Bride in Black.” While ideal for sleep, these all deserve to be known and heard." - blackmetalandbrews.com

"Between the loops and phrases lie thoughts that limp in out of our consciousness. Like Charlie Parker once said about bebop’s pejorative label, “It’s about looking for the pretty notes…” Here, too, is about finding the pretty notes and letting them occupy the time so many quantify.

Therein lies the challenge. Do you have it within you to listen to nearly four hours of music? Or, can Garza’s music be treated like book to be read at its own pace? In either case, this is Garza’s finest work to date, and he finds the pretty notes in ways he has not done so before." - houstonpress.com

"Sometimes a single release can more or less lay claim to an entire genre. It’s vast, it’s unfocused, it’s impossible to sit all the way through - but it still pretty much renders all other excursions into ambient drones pretty much irrelevant. Now, and for Always." - thequietus.com

Listening to this a few years on, Chapter 319 feels almost melancholic, a reminder of the time where police abolition had nearly mainstream appeal. The tracks still make me furious at the bullshit cops continue to get away with. dninemfive
