Announcing Tonstartssbandht "An When", "Dick Nights" and "Hymn" Reissues !
Today we’re thrilled to announce the Fire Talk reissues of Tonstartssbandht's classic albums 'An When,' 'Hym' & 'Dick Nights' !
A snapshot from the earliest days of the brother's vast catalog, the record provides a distinct starting point from which the band has journeyed. Through years of constant touring, the duo’s songs have both taken shape and changed shape, yet maintained their long, languid tendencies, full of open musical questions and temporary answers. Far from what FADER calls “psychedelia’s most intriguing upstarts,” the band’s “time-warped explosion of folksy jams designed to transport you out of this world” (Pitchfork) have become their own distinct object. Each reissue provides a photograph that perfectly encapsulates Tonstartssbandht at a single moment in their evolution. Now critically-acclaimed statesmen who staked out previously unseen territory in experimental indie music of the early oughts, the reissued recordings feel both transcendent and intimate, a portal into lineage of music that feels laden with possibility and exploratory wonder.
“We self-released these three albums in the early days of Tonstartssbandht, our cherished ‘Montreal era,’” the band explains. “Now, over a decade later, we are very happy to bring them back into print. For two of these albums (Dick Nights and Hymn) it is their first time on vinyl. They were made in the late aughts and early '10s, over a period of time when we first started to feel like a real band. Working at times both separately and together, we began to feed all of our energy into this new project, witnessing our own style begin to evolve, and putting our faith in each other that this is what we want to do."
