I recently heard that Parts & Labor are going on an “extended hiatus”. Here is their statement regarding the hiatus…
Dear friends,
This January, Parts & Labor turns 10 years old. We’re planning a string of celebratory shows, in which we play selected material from all of our full length albums, leading up to a big 10th anniversary blow out on February 24th, 2012.
Following these performances, we’re going to take an extended hiatus. We feel incredibly fortunate having had a decade of amazing experiences — making records and new friends, performing with so many killer musicians and artists. But it’s time for each of us to focus on personal projects for a while. We’re all going to continue to make music through other endeavors.
We’d like to thank everyone who’s supported us, bought our albums, seen us live, offered us a floor to sleep on. We love y’all. As a token of our esteem, we’re giving away a final song called “No Nostalgia (featuring Todd Bailey and Where’s The Party At)”, which was recorded during the Receivers sessions, but suddenly seems all too prescient.
I don’t know about you, but when I heard the epic “Fractured Skies” for the first time I swear my brain melted. I had to find out who was playing, and I needed to hear more of it. This song restored my faith in punk rock. I hope it does the same for you.
q: What is your favorite venue in NYC (if applicable)?
a: We’re all big fans of Shea Stadium in Brooklyn, where we played our first NY show. Also, Death By Audio is an amazing space where we actually got to play with APTBS which was one of my favourite times seeing them, win-win.
q: What piece(s) of culture are you really really excited about right now?
a: 2010 was a really great year for music, I think we needed a revival of some sort cause the indie rock of the mid 2000′s was tired and boring. Granted there are a lot of new genres coming out, (what is “witch house“?) that might not warrant too much attention, I think there’s a few gems that are going to stick around and lead to more interesting bands. Other than that I’m really excited about the new Jonathan Franzen novel and Flavor of Love season 3.
q: Anything we should know about your latest project (whatever that might be)?
a: We’ve been touring constantly since our album came out so we haven’t had much time to work on anything, but we’ve been conceptualizing our next record and putting a lot of ideas together. The goal is basically to make it as unlistenable as possible, drawing from early UK dance and tribal beats, mixed with some goth, punk, psychedelic sounds and a lot of noise. We’ve also been trying to figure out how to use these two projectors we have to create an equally weird mix of visuals. We’re excited to get started on this.
Beach Fossils are set to release their What a Pleasure EP on February 22nd via the Captured Tracks label. The band is crafting tunes that seem to be time-traveling in from a college radio station playing “modern rock” sometime in 1987. Bring on the jangle. Listen.
Also, If you want to download all the individual tracks in this post, you should probably think about installing the DownThemAll! or FlashGot Firefox extensions.
