Crude Tapes is excited to share Olana Z Flynn’s first solo music release - Sing the Next Time. Flynn, a formally trained dancer and choreographer, has organically developed a music practice to score her own live performances. With Sing the Next Time, Flynn worked on a body of music explicitly not meant for live performance while retaining the “liveness” of her previous work. The result is a haunting confluence of the American noise tradition and the American folk tradition. Two forms both firmly rooted in tradition and ritual, Flynn is able to transcend both by artfully juxtaposing these different styles through minimal means. Electronic motifs bubble and overtake while her voice comes in and out -- an oscillation of rhythm, feedback, and voice. Spanning the entirety of Side B, “bow down like the willow / come and go with me” is the apex of Flynn’s musical and conceptual ideas: seamlessly blending noisey electronics with vocal interpolations of American folks tunes all performed in one take.
All proceeds to benefit Ma’s House Studio.
