"Oh
fuck yeah. Stoked beyond belief to finally drop this. Last September The
Julie Mittens dragged their suitcases filled with (un)Holy Fire across the
Atlantic to play a couple of hard earned gigs. Their first time ever in the
States and they sure realized they couldn’t leave without leaving behind
scorched earth. Cellars got torn down and basements wrecked, a band on fire
from Syracuse to Virginia. This release is evidence that the tour was a
massive succes, recorded live in Albany NY, the Dutch trio unleash two face
melting jams much in the vein of Fushitsusha but with the spirit of the most
out there freejazz units (think late period Coltrane, Raphe Malik, Evan
Parker et al) branded in their way of playing.
So here’s the deal; edition of 100 with 100 different covers of
photo's
taken on tour by the band. Carefully selected by the Mittens with the name
of the band + name of the recording screenprinted on each one. There’s not
one double here.
Also, this release has an important significant other, go check out Abandon
Ship for a very, very different live recording and 100 different covers as
well. Be sure to buy theirs too later this week because those people
suffering from that damned economy need it!" - Cut Hands

"The Julie Mittens were among the first groups that I asked to do a
release for Abandon Ship Records. It's been nearly a year now, and well
worth the wait. They've made some treacherous waves over the past few years,
from their Sloow tape to their latest Holy Mountain release. This one is no
exception.
Fresh off their US tour, the Julie Mittens decided to properly document it
with sister releases on ASR and the Netherland's own Cut Hands label,
respectively. Not only are the two releases completely different from each
other, but each CDr is housed in it's own one-of-a-kind sleeve which boasts
a unique photo taken on their US tour. That's 200 different sleeves in
total, with screenprinting on each taboot!
Recorded by Steve Sanford at the Golden West Cafe in Baltimore on September
10th, and features Baltimore's own Lexie Mountain on vocals for the 2nd
track." - Abandon Ship |
