A trip through the past, present and future of a label that since 1980 has made the most prominent part of its name, that resounding “Independent”, not a trendy epithet but a mission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two-album compilation is an invite to join the dots and find out what makes Afterimage – the early '80s band The Los Angeles Times once called “LA’s own Joy Division” – and Alison Clancy – the artist making ethereal ambient dream pop in the basement of New York’s Metropolitan Opera House, where she works as a dancer – kindred spirits. You’re invited to find similarities in the way The Ophelias reclaimed San Francisco’s unfettered psychedelic rock roots at a time (the mid '80s) when the city had consigned itself  to the commercial muscle of arena rock, and the way Half String brought a wide-eyed shoegaze revolution outside of '90s indie’s hotspots, heading the Beautiful Noise scene in Arizona.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat all the artists appearing in this decades-spanning, genre-defying compilation seem to have in common is a certain transfixing quality. It may be put in motion by the hypnotic rumble of a post-punk groove or by the celestial peaks of an ambient piece so immersive it seems capable of freezing time. These are musicians with a determination to do things their own way. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independent Project Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49719853514989,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0804\/6995\/0701\/files\/260511_WELL_package_IP091_SECD_01.jpg?v=1778687746"},{"product_id":"afterimage-faces-to-hide-special-edition-cd","title":"AFTERIMAGE  -  Faces To Hide Special Edition CD","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eThe original line-up of Afterimage may have only existed for a couple of years and released merely one single and one EP, but their take on post-punk—at once raw and explorative, with one eye to the sound that was emanating from across the ocean and one to a past-acknowledging future— left a mark in the underground sonic psyche of the City of Angels. \u003cem\u003eFaces to Hide\u003c\/em\u003e collects all of Afterimage’s studio recordings, plus demos and live tracks from performances at now legendary spots such as Whisky a Go Go and Al’s Bar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eListening to this compilation, one can picture the four members of Afterimage—Alec Tension (Dan Voznick), A Produce (aka future ambient explorer Barry Craig), Rich Evac (Rich Robinson) and Holland DeNuzzio—bonding over a love of Public Image Ltd, Pere Ubu, Magazine, The Fall, Gang of Four and Television, while eagerly adding unexpected detours (surf rock, electrifying blasts of saxophone). \u003cem\u003eFaces to Hide\u003c\/em\u003e also makes it easy to see why, back in the day, the Los Angeles Times was compelled to call Afterimage “L.A.’s Joy Division”.
