Moone Records presents performances in celebration of the release of two albums, **“Bullish-ish”** by **Michael Krassner** (Boxhead Ensemble) & **John Dieterich** (Deerhoof) and **"Silver & Eggplant"** by Seth Kasselman (Warm Climate). The artists will perform live. Peter Kolovos will begin the evening. Produced in cooperation with Black Editions. **Michael Krassner** (Boxhead Ensemble) and **John Dieterich** (Deerhoof, Caustics, Gorge Trio) met for the first time back in late 2018. Within hours of meeting, they played their first (and to date, only) duo concert at the Carriage House in Downtown Phoenix, Arizona (some recordings of which appear on this LP). They then proceeded to spend the next two days recording wide reaching ideas, tucked away in Krassner’s studio (the 3-Track Shack). By the time John left, the beginnings of something gutturally beautiful took form. A patient and expansive electro-acoustic language had emerged. When you journey to the cross section of dense maximalist ideals and patient minimalism, you’ll eventually arrive at “Bullish(ish).” An album that seamlessly blends neoclassical, ancient blues, and psychedelia. **Seth Kasselman** has been drifting through the LA & Phoenix underground for decades. Quietly releasing a steady stream of singular heady LPs. From dense experimental avant-jammers, to the most subtle quiet hush, he masterfully builds worlds for the listeners to haunt. His latest album, and debut under the Moone imprint, finds Kasselman armed with a box of reel-to-reel tapes found at a thrift store. It breathes a life of its own with strange nostalgia leaving you with more questions than answers. Working with field recordings and found sounds, Silver & Eggplant opens up a time capsule of mysteries, saturated with synth embellishments. Folkloric timelessness, juxtaposed by fast edits, and voices from sleeplessness nights with Mid-Atlantic poise. Kasselman works in these echoes of the past with dubbed out grist. After the B side takes you through a bustling cityscape, a whisker sheds its peeks and valleys and the coaster safely drops off with a familiar tune from an empathetic stranger.
