Jason Urick - Fussing & Fighting

•    The three tracks on ‘Fussing & Fighting’ were spawned during the period just after Urick completed his work on ‘Husbands’. After not listening to little else as he finished that album, Urick dove deep into some old faves, including Pita’s ‘Get Out’ and the Gas catalog, and also became obsessed with videos of London reggae lynchpin Jah Shaka. The three compositions included on this 12” are experiments in trying to combine these influences into Urick’s working methods established for ‘Husbands’.

•    Unlike ‘Husbands’ gentle washes of ambience, the songs on ‘Fussing & Fighting’ are Urick’s first in a very long time to incorporate any sort of rhythmic element, however simple. This time Urick made a conscious effort to slowly steer away from the experiments with density on display on ‘Husbands’, opening up his music sonically and allowing things to breathe. As with ‘Husbands’, all three of the original tracks were recorded by Urick himself at Floristree.

•    The fourth and final piece on ‘Fussing & Fighting’ is Matthew Papich of Ecstatic Sunshine’s take on the title track, recorded with engineer Craig Bowen.

•    This vinyl only EP is limited to 500 copies worldwide and is presented with a 10” x 6” high-gloss photo print hand-pasted to the LP jacket front (250 white jackets, 250 black jackets).

•    Also available: Jason Urick - Husbands CD/LP (Thrill225).

•    “Phantom drones twirl, drifting in and out of hearing range, cloaked in a faintly menacing electronic buzz... Urick is in complete and utter control of the sonics he commands” - Baltimore City Paper.

• “Husbands is a very compelling and enjoyable listen...it’s near faultless...these four tracks are certainly worth 43 minutes of anyone’s time” - Drowned In Sound.
