SAD PLANETS Debut album AKRON, OHIO out April 19 on Tee Pee Records Features John Petkovic (Cobra Verde, Sweet Apple, Guided by Voices, Death of Samantha) and Patrick Carney (The Black Keys). Album features a guest appearance by J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr.; also plays with Petkovic in Sweet Apple) Akron, Ohio… An All-American City. The city that powered America’s ride into the 20th century as the tire capital of the world. Where the American dream came easy and Art Deco skyscrapers sprang up. As Akron declined, along with the rest of the industrial Midwest, it inspired something very different – music from area bands such as Devo, the Cramps, Chrissie Hynde and Tin Huey. Two musicians and Akron natives -- John Petkovic (Cobra Verde, Sweet Apple, Guided by Voices, Death of Samantha) and Patrick Carney (Black Keys) -- found a common bond over music that came out of the Akron area, but also the city’s glorious past and tumultuous present. “Akron, Ohio” is a celebration of their friendship. The debut album by Sad Planets is the product of two friends with storied careers and beloved bands coming getting together to have fun and record a batch of songs on the spot, in the moment. The 10-song album mixes deft songwriting with experimental and eclectic sounds played on a multitude of instruments. It also expands the musical roles they play in their other bands. Yes, Carney plays drums at times, but also adds Enoesque synthesizers and other instruments to the mix. Petkovic does all the vocals and adds layers of guitars to the album. “Just Landed” – an elegy about revisiting a long-gone place – is a spacey slice of psychedelic pop. It features J Mascis, who stopped by the studio during recording. “J grabbed my guitar and just started playing along so we hit record,” says Petkovic. “It sums up the entire process… I would come up with chords and songs on the spot.” “City Ghosts” and “Disappearing” are moody, cinematic soundtracks that recall drives they took around Akron during recording. “When Patrick asked if I wanted to come to Akron to jam with him in the studio,” says Petkovic, “I saw it as a chance to work with a longtime friend, but also an opportunity to reconnect with Akron in a very different way.” Petkovic, a Cleveland resident, was born in Akron. Carney was leaving the city to live in Nashville. As a result, Akron came to play a unique role – as a ghost and a place that is as familiar as it is distant. “Not of This World,” with its insurgent guitars, spacey interlude and synthesizer freak-outs, is a burst of “psychedelic trash” – one of the phrases Petkovic and Carney tossed out as a template when they started recording. “Yesterday Girls,” “I Want You to Want You” and “Bad Cells” are driving rock ‘n’ roll blasts that recall the most raucous elements of their other bands. They met in 1999, by chance, at the Akron Art Museum – when Carney approached Petkovic to tell him that he was the nephew of Ralph Carney. The legendary multi-instrumentalist, who passed away in 2017, had recorded with Cobra Verde. Twenty years later, that bond has resulted in an album of their own.

'Break A' is taken from Vital Idles' brand new 4-track EP, out March 8th on Upset The Rhythm. http://www.upsettherhythm.co.uk/ If there isn't yet a tradition of following a magnificent debut album with a, shoelaces-tightened, excellent mission statement of an EP (one would be forgiven to think that the debut long player was the mission statement already, breaking in on the scene/ry with such unmissable and rarely seen sensory delight, but then upon hearing the subsequently released EP one is tempted to think: "Wow! That debut was truly astonishing but now they are REALLY on a mission!"), well, if this tradition doesn't already exist - and thinking about Young Marble Giants' scene-defining "Final Day" 7", Pylon's absolutely essential "!!" 10" and Carla Dal Forno's recent-yet-already-classic "The Garden" 12" one might argue that this tradition is undoubtedly fully existent (more so: alive and well) — then this self-titled extended play from much beloved Glasgow quartet Vital Idles would surely be a striking argument for the genesis of such a tradition. On the other hand, when taking sides with the many seasoned critics arguing that this tradition has indeed long been established, one might confidently list this effort as a bona fide example of such practice, sharing with the aforementioned not only an astute and accomplished artistic ability but also a sense of minimalist psychedelia that transcends restrictions set by redundant referencialism and grateless genre parameters such as "Post Punk" or "Minimal Pop" (on which the same critics, of course, often disagree). That being said, ping-ponging from gritty post punk smashes to minimal pop moments and vice versa, Vital Idles' sphere of stripped-down efficiency and sharp personal observation also brings to mind crucially overseen half-chord-wonders Glorious Din as well as antipodean contemporaries like Constant Mongrel (who also had their latest release mastered by the fantastic M. Young), Primo! (who also had their latest release mastered by the fantastic M. Young) and Terry (who also had their latest release mastered by the fantastic M. Young). The EP reveals itself as a steady, hypotenusal rise of intensity and momentum, starting with the hallucinogenic restrain of opener "Break A", building tension throughout the gothic-noise flourishes of "Seconds" and "Rustle Rustle" and culminating in "Careful Extracts", a 2 minute burst of carefree introspection that might as well be the unintentional answer to early career highlight "My Sentiments": "just me and my/ tired ire/ a a a a a a a a a a" In conclusion: Vital Idles' debut was truly astonishing but - wow! - now they are truly on a mission.
