Dispatch 49: DS Peligro Vinyl Now Available at MCL Bandcamp!

Thao's Sunday LP with poster insert

Dispatch 49: The DS Peligro album Thao's Sunday is out and  available at the MCL Recording Bandamp store along with the previously released digital download! It was made available with a record release celebration in Venice, Ca. on Oct.15th, just in time for xmas.
 Sit back and enjoy. It's a dark rock album with roots in dub and guitar rock. These eleven fantastic tracks tell a full story that is ripe for interpretation by the open mind of the listener.
  The classic black vinyl 12" album comes with partial dimensional printing on the jackets and the usual for all MCL albums, an inserted handprinted 11x17 poster. All the designing and printing was done at MCLscreenworks. Instead of the boring old download card, all our records have a card inserted prompting one to email us here at MCL Recording and we will send you a digital version for free. (I here the interns are throwing in freebies now and then!).
 Thao's Sunday is available here.

Only 143 hand numbered pieces will be available thru the MCL Big Cartel store, our bandcamp store and in brick-and-mortars around the SF Bay Area. The digital version of Uranian Fire has been getting some nice reviews so far and we are very excited to finally be releasing the album. Watch here for release date really really soon!

In the mean time, along with rehearsing for a live show debut, Solar Maximum has released another single track titled 'Empires' on our Soundcloud page. Come by and check it out and let us know what you think. Here it is:

Thao's Sunday

We are very, very excited to announce that the DS Peligro album titled Thao's Sunday is off to the presses for an October 2016 vinyl release on MCL. The album was written, recorded and produced by DS himself, curated by Heather and then mastered by Matt Kelley in San Francisco. The album artwork was designed by Sammy (Solar Maximum and MCLscreenworks).

DS is a one man experimental sound fiend. There's no way to accurately describe the genre, or even the time period of his tracks. One has to experience the prolific nature of this man's output to understand it. The passion and vision that come thru consistently are mesmerizing. Check him out!

PallasCatfight has been busy in studio recording and has released a few tracks thru her soundcloud page recently.

 What's Wrong With Me is a rocked up punk song with loud screamin' guitars and an equally loud and bratty vocal! This Pallas track was dug up outta the archives and as soon as it hit the ground it was on the run! Look for a couple more from Heather's archive to surface in the comin' months.

A poem By Heather Salazar

Oh yes - the city sound
It fills up in aroud you
carries you down
slick black gum dotted
sidewalks like a river
it muffles, screetches and clicks
is greater than the sum
of its hearts
the sun of its heart
it heaves and moans
drowns out
the sounds
of ancient voices
ancient vices
oh it rises up
crests and pulls us under
crashes around as
you sit with your coffee
going cold
as you sip with your
heart going cold
and it buzzes there
about four feet high
like a cloud like fog
you can wrap up in it
wrap it up
and there's nothing like it when it stops







oh you can hear it
you can sing it to me
send it to me
we can harmonize rise above
rise with it
we can ride it

oh yes find
the right corner and it
- the sound -
will resonate just right
to drown out
ameliorate
anxiety, mistakes
all that crap you ate
the crap you hate
it will make you forget
how to fake
forget to make way
to plan your escape

I've always been interested in the fateful events of  Nov 22, 1963 in Dealy Plaza, Dallas, Tx. Presented here are a couple of podcasts by professor Jerry Kroth from Santa Clara University that really shed a lot of light on the events of that day. I hope you enjoy them. -Sammy
