: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: This guy again. The Godfather of DIY home recording. Hundreds of :,
: self-released albums over the past 50 years. Dozens issued on :
:' countless indie labels since 1976. Pop craftsman, crafty ':
,: grandpop, notorious curmudgeon. Blah blah blah blah blah. Most :,
: recently teamed with Jason Falkner on the album Make It Be :
:' (Bar/None, 2017). ':
,: :,
: Since R. Stevie can't make a decent living on his music, he's :
:' trying to accomplish the task in the Afterlife. This album is ':
,: an upgrade from the lo-fi, damaged-equipment home recording :,
: process for which RSM has become legendary. With a career-long :
:' sweep, R. Stevie took some of his best home-recorded lo-fi ':
,: songs and re-recorded them with full-studio sparkle. All :,
: recordings were made in the past 15 years, with tracks captured :
:' in five U.S. states. Some compositions date from the 1970s to ':
,: the 1990s, and there's a few newer tunes. The album lacks one :,
: thing: filler. Lou Reed famously said about his final Velvet :
:' Underground album: "I gave them an album loaded with hits," ':
,: then he walked away. Afterlife is R. Stevie's Loadedùan album :,
: full of hits. He's walking away with a cane, a bum knee, and :
:' cataracts. ':
,: :,
: Afterlife was compiled and produced by Irwin Chusid (who :
:' oversees the musical estates of Sun Ra, Raymond Scott, and ':
,: others). Chusid, a WFMU DJ since 1975, has been a compatriot of :,
: RSM since they met in 1978 after R. Stevie relocated to New :
:' Jersey from his native Nashville (to which he returned in ':
,: 2010). It's often been pointed out that RSM's daddy Bob played :,
: bass with Elvis. But we won't dwell on that here. :
:' ':
,: Afterlife features sideman work by Ariel Pink, Jason Falkner, :,
: Lane Steinberg, and Chusid. It was mastered by veteran :
:' producer-musician Kramer (who has previously recorded with ':
,: RSM). There's a biopic in the works. It's called Cool Daddio: :,
: The Second Youth of R. Stevie Moore (Spring Films), and with :
:' luck it might hit the cinema circuit in 2019. ':
,: :,
: R. Stevie will not be touring to promote this album. He's sick :
:' of traveling, his misanthropy's been acting up, and he prefers ':
,: the comforts of his messy nest. But he will talk to journalists :,
: on the phone or via email. Just don't ask about his daddy. It's :
:' a worn-out topic. Sorry we brought it up. ':
