Arms and Sleepers – “Is This Stuff True” (Audio)
‘CORPUS DEI’
Future Archive Recordings – Oct. 23, 2020
*Arms and Sleepers – “Is This Stuff True” https://wearearmsandsleepers.bandcamp.com/track/is-this-stuff-true // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arms_and_Sleepers // Arms and Sleepers is an American ambient/trip hop duo consisting of Max Lewis and Mirza Ramic. The band was formed in 2006 and has since released a handful of albums and EPs. I always think of this song when I think of The Books’ “I Didn’t Know That,” plus it gives me huge Boards Of Canada vibes, too.*

The Jesus & Mary Chain – “Between Planets” (Vinyl // Audio)
‘Automatic’
Blanco y Negro/WEA – Oct. 9, 1989
*The Jesus & Mary Chain – “Between Planets” (Vinyl) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoXT8BqY3aI // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_(The_Jesus_and_Mary_Chain_album) // ‘Automatic’ is the third studio album by Scottish alternative rock band the Jesus and Mary Chain, released on 9 October 1989 by Blanco y Negro Records. The group on this record consists of the core duo of brothers William and Jim Reid, with a drum machine providing percussion and synthesised bass. Pitchfork wrote in 2006 that “conventional wisdom wrongly calls [Automatic] the dud” of the band’s discography, but that in hindsight the album “feels like a career peak”. The album is name-checked in the lyrics of “The Authority Song” by emo band Jimmy Eat World on their 2001 album ‘Bleed American’ in the line, “the DJ never has it, JAMC Automatic.”*
