HI006 Release: ERD.00:14421-023Z
Out Now! Released on October 23rd, 2021 Harlem & Irving remasters and rereleases “ERD” 23 years after its original publishing on Endpoint Recordings. Upon listening to the original during the icy throws of the pandemic last winter, we knew the material still stands as a heady snapshot of late 90s experimental music from Chicago. Once again we enlisted the mastering wizardry of Timothy Stollenwerk to bestow some modern mastering magic to unlock the full potential of the tracks. Get ERD now digitally or as limited edition cassette on Bandcamp.
Coalescing in Wicker Park during the sweltering Chicago summer of 1995, rehab. marked the first experimental collaboration between Brian Kelly (Supplement) and Bob Davies (pal:ndrøm) and later engineer Jon Taccona (Danger Guy). Born partly as a reaction to ‘orchestrated band material and boring DJ mix tapes’ and partly out of the therapeutic need for ‘a departure from the everyday grind of school, work, and the city’ rehab. production sessions blurred the lines between sampling, practice and performance.
