Release Notes:
We had heard a couple cassette outings by this Bloomington young-bloomer over
the last 4-6 months and each one hit us better than the last but nothing had
prepped us for EttingerÆs most recent evolution into neon skyline chase scene
soundtracker and thatÆs part of what makes it so amazing. For SmokinÆ he wrangled
together a small posse of close comrades (enter The Heat) and tracked a sick session
of smoky synth themes, Corvette noir moods, echo dystopia, faded voices, and sleazy
Miami sax. The A, ôSmokin,Æö is the more ballad-y of the pair, sad and smooth, just
fired-from-the-force, midnight cruising on the strip, no one to call. The B, ôMiami
Heat (The Stakeout),ö amps the tension, camera zooming in over palm trees and blue-lit
swimming pools, a deco mansion on the coast, the place is surrounded, the heat is on,
all that. A cool sleaze-psych vision, sickly executed, by a rad fresh energy from the
underground. Fingers are crossed thereÆs more where this came from. Black-vinyl 7
inches, plus a photocopied insert, in full-color sleeves with art by NNF.
Edition of 380.
