On a personal note, I love October. I love the crisp autumn weather, I love secluding myself at night and binging on horror movies, and more than anything I love stepping on crunchy leaves while listening to new tapes on my Walkman. Here’s are some personal favourite Duplication.ca jammers from the month of October!
R. Stevie Moore – “Homers” c62
https://uddtba.bandcamp.com/album/homers
Outsider artist R. Stevie Moore returns with this reissue of his 1973 self-release. If you’ve never done the deep dive of the weird ‘n wild world of RSM this is as good as any place to start!
Andrew Weathers / Blaine Todd – Split c44
https://houdinimansions.bandcamp.com/album/andrew-weathers-blaine-todd
A melancholic but surprisingly relaxing split cassette that wavers between post-rock and experimental folk. Fans of Six Organs of Admittance and Jackie-O Motherfucker will love it.
Plastic Cactus – “Moth Eyes” c17
https://plasticcactus.bandcamp.com/album/moth-eyes
Atmospheric dry desert rock, and like a mirage it moves into psych ‘n surf territory. Full of rad Thee Oh Sees style riffs at 0.6x speed!
Courtney Barnett – “Tell Me How You Really Feel” c44
https://courtneybarnett.bandcamp.com/album/tell-me-how-you-really-feel
If you can’t dig Courtney Barnett you can’t dig nothin’. A+ Melbourne slackerdom, and if that doesn’t sell it for you, maybe the Kim Deal backing vocals will.
Appropriate Savagery – “Elegant In Its Brutality” c26
Anasisana – “Sad For The Rest of My Life” c34
https://casementexchange.bandcamp.com
Another gorgeous batch by California label Casement Exchange. Both tapes swing between chaos and beauty, must grabs for fans of minimalism. Can’t choose between the two of them, they’re both quintessential October graveyard wandering music.
