CHRIS SCHLARB

 

DROPSY

Greetings! We would like to direct your attention to our friend, Chris Schlarb. We have been friends with Chris for longer than we've been a label. In fact, our founder Karl used to submit his bands' music to Chris's label for release consideration (the now-semi-defunct Sounds Are Active). Over the years Chris has grown from proprietor of an under-appreciated label to a well-respected composer (and aspiring cult leader), releasing albums with Sufjan Stevens' label, Asthmatic Kitty. 

So, elephant in the room: this is a video game soundtrack. Which is kind of weird for us. We never thought we'd be releasing the soundtrack to a video game, but Chris's musical contribution to Dropsy stands well enough on its own, and fits right in with our penchant for obscure, surreal, and para-psychically transportative experiences. In short: this album is not your average video game soundtrack. This is an incredible album of micro-jazz compositions; 28 songs in total, each averaging 1 minute and 41 seconds per song. Check out Chris's entire description of the album below. 

Now let's talk about the game. This is an old-school "point-and-click adventure game" about a clown with no hands. And the object of the game is to hug people. That's pretty fucked up. According to the game designers, players are encouraged to "impart love to a surreal, grotesque world as a misunderstood but cheerful clown."

Chris Schlarb's "Dropsy" is limited to a one-time pressing of 500 hand-numbered copies on yellow-inside-transparent orange vinyl. This album will never be pressed again within the foreseeable constraints of time and space... So order now.

175 of these left. Fuck, I've never even heard of the game until now but I'm tempted because it's cheap as hell and everything I can find on the game itself is awesome.

I wish I could hear more of the soundtrack before ordering other than that one song on soundcloud and the snippets in the making of video.
