pistol beat :: forty one pills :: re-mastered, re-issued
Posted by POTIONS / May 5, 2012
Pistol Beat’s 2005 album Forty One Pills will see a re-issue on cassette on May 7, 2012. This album was originally released in limited CD-R form, but has long since been out of print. Pistol Beat was a bit ahead of his time and this album seems to resonate with the current crop of electronic music flooding the internet, etc. Look forward to newly re-mastered versions from Roland Potions, which reveal slightly different intricacies than the original digital version. Below is an excerpt from the re-mastered album:
MOMENTS OF NO ERASE c62 out april 23
Posted by POTIONS / April 19, 2012
Moments of No Erase is an hour long collection of noise grooves, rock-and-roll, mystery zones, riff-age, and beyond. Compiled & recorded by Roland Potions, who tracked these songs during beer drinkin’ hang out times, this set is a nice, chill ride through Chicago’s current underground? world.

I. features Katrina Stoneheart (Solid Melts, Teen River, BBDDM), a recent transplant to chicago, who provides his signature no-input, delay pedal bubbles, and high frequency blasts atop potions mellow & in-the-pocket drum and bass groove.
II. features Ryley Walker, the young guitar wunderkind, originally from rockford,IL. ryley and tom recorded one night in potions old cellar studio in pilsen, back when ryley was throwin’ down at chili’s. the jam surfacing here mixes slint-y guitar stylings with off the cuff shoegaze-induced drum machine backbeats.
III. features Bo Hansen (of Heavy Times, Campfires), Johhnny D (Wild Oats, Bowl Of Dust, Spooky Moon), reminiscent of Red Krayola’s country-tinged instrumentals, with BO slinging pysch-y guitar, Johnny holding down the Bass, and Potions on drum kit.
IV. features Gordon (aka Jake of Teen River, Famous Laughs). an outtake from the Wildcats sessions, this finds Jake and Ro Po in a mystery zone of junky keyboards, space echo, and loops of loops. cold music recorded in cold storage room.
V. features Johhnny D on bass and Roland Potions on synth, beats, and voice. an endless jam, throw this one on at your next BBQ
VI. features Sea Priest & Houtakker & Potions, a spacious exploration in cymbal swells, loops and atmosphere

Coming soon on pretty all right,
Beach Dawggzz is the collective efforts of George de Moura (EarthMasters, Liquid State Bypass), Tom Owens (Potions, Distractions) and Drew Gibson (Katrina Stoneheart, Baby Birds Don’t Drink Milk).
EarthMasters and Katrina Stoneheart create combatting mono-synth oscillations that bounce off one another, while Potions layers hypnotic drum patterns and occasional synth swirls, sometimes underneath, sometimes over the top. Beach Dawwggs no know borders, and will take you on dark explorations in drone as well as groovey trips in psychedlia. HOOWWOOO
