R. McLaughlin "Manzanita" C45 Cassette, Brown caramel shell edition of 10
Very limited tape release, edition of 20 on two different color shells. Pick your flavor! Double sided color j card, dubbed at KMAN HQ.
The tape release of “Manzanita” will be the final release of KMAN 92.5. Not to fear, KMAN will continue in the new year, but as something collaborative and much altered.
“KM030, that seemed like a nice round number to stop on, even with the artifice of skipping the 13th release in the catalog like some builders do with skyscrapers. It’s also appropriate in that, musically and in terms of praxis, it represents a prequel to KMAN 92.5, the project I began in the fall of 2017. A backward-looking bookend as we walk into the future.
When working on the songs that made up “Manzanita” in the winter of 2015-16, I didn’t have plans to start a tape label and reach out to artists that interested me – I was still working on music in a solo fashion (reaching out to collaborators for input – thank you Sal) and putting it out into the void of the internet and (very muffled) word of mouth, barely knowing who (if anyone) was listening to it. After this, I would get more involved with music happening locally in LA and cultivating a small community of artists across geography and genres. But I don’t regret too much the stumbling in the dark that this unfinished album represents. I sort of needed it to get to where I’m at, wherever that is. And I still like how it sounds, for the most part. Thanks for listening and hope to see you on the other side!”
