Better late than never, here are some shots from the awesome Juarez Revontulet show at Gulag Projects last month. It was fantastic show with excellent performances from artists representing the past, present and future of the label.

Thanks to Jess for finding the time to launch her record during her brief return to Australia, thanks to all the artists for performing, and finally, thanks to the folk at Gulag Projects for hosting the show and continuing to run one of Melbourne's best performance spaces.


Dead Boomers - the Marco Fusinato curated 'Grappa Shots Set'

James Rushford & Joe Talia - their debut release Palisades is coming out next week on Sabbatical



Aux Assembly - a truly engaging performance from a group that were with us at the start



Juarez - Ms Pinney performed the kind of set that had the audience both on edge and completely in the palm of her hand



For a better understanding of the inspiration and processes behind her work as Juarez, read an interview with Jess on Mess + Noise.

Revontulet is available now through the webstore or at your local independent record store.

Cyclic Defrost reviews Juarez's 'Revontulet'

Cyclic Defrost has reviewed the debut Juarez release, Revontulet. Here's what they had to say:

The opening piece Favourite purposely pisses you off, a low repetitive cyclical drone begins, forcing you to adjust the volume and then a short abrupt aggressive jolt comes unexpectedly at a ridiculously higher volume. It’s music that doesn’t want to be friends with you, and it’s a highly provocative act that is a sledgehammer technique devised to make you uneasy.

Revontulet is out now in indie stores across Australia and via the Sabbatical online shop.

Juarez 'Revontulet' out now

Jess Pinney's incredible solo debut, Revontulet, is out now.

Juarez is the solo project of Jessica Pinney, and Revontulet (SBB012) is her debut release for the Sabbatical label. This is a dark electroacoustic work centred on processed analogue electronics and the layering of rich vocal lines, generating an eerie intimacy that is equally inviting and unsettling. The four extended pieces comprising Revontulet were tracked and mixed by Marcus Cook at Head Gap in Preston, Victoria during July 2008.

Available from www.sbbtcl.com and Australian independent record stores. If you local doesn't have it ask them to order it in through Missing Link Distribution.
