"How To Execute?" by Motorbikes (FF017)


15 pop songs and themes recorded between Jan. and Aug. of 2010, expressing the joy of writing songs. The album aims for motivation, but then hits it via reconciliation. During the year leading up to it’s release, much planning went into the song compositions and dynamics. However, once recording began, most of these ideas fell to the side or were lost completely to ideas that happened on the spot.
“It was confusing and depressing to watch the ideas fade in translation, but I was paying attention to the wrong part of the deal; something cool was happening. What makes the album what it is happened during execution despite my planning, and the grand idea for the sonic aesthetic was overridden by the album title and lyrical content of the songs.”

"Consequences Blooming" by PAB (FF014)

“Single-track loop renderings: the momentum of ideas, the humility of learning. Recorded 5/4/10”
Strategic real-time construction of vocal and bass guitar thump loops. Aurally emotional music. Dynamic jams on a theme, capturing the jubilant origin of ideas and the awkwardness of unintended delivery. Tapping the source and shooting it off like fireworks.

1. HIGH! – 7:52
2. IN BLOOM – 13:16
3. EMBARASSED – 8:20
4. (ALWAYS BLOOMING) – 19:50
