ESCAPE-ISM - RATED Z

RATED Z is the new record from minimal rock 'n' roll duo ESCAPE-ISM, the legendary "found sound dream drama"  featuring Ian F Svenonius & Alexandra Cabral. 

RATED Z is a declaration of a new underground, distinct from the tedious drivel of self-satisfied corporate indie rock. RATED Z continues Escape-ism's commitment to minimalism, impertinence, and the search for new modes of communication with those fellow travellers who are loath to fall in line with the latest thing. The song "Rated Z" declares Escape-ism's commitment to absolute obscurity, while "Rocker's Delight" outlines a hang out scenario for the fringe elements who rally  to Escape-ism as the last gasp of poetry & playfulness in an oppressive landscape of artless algorithm rock. "Teenage Surrealism PT I & II" delineates a dialogue with a dream, and "Whatever People Say That I Am"  is a soon to be theme song for those who can't be numbered, named, and filed away. 

Jim Saah - In My Eyes

Celebrated photographer and filmmaker Jim Saah is releasing his first book, In My Eyes: Photographs 1982-1997 (Cabin 1 Books). Decades in the making, the collection features many of Saah's most iconic photographs from the early Washington, D.C. punk scene and beyond. Its sprawling 332 pages of black-and-white images capture both the spirit of the time and Saah’s peerless work ethic — armed with a camera and countless rolls of film, Jim was ubiquitous within the D.C. scene. In My Eyes: Photographs 1982-1997 serves as a living document of all of those years of hard work.
