HURRAY - More Opiates & Bike Song

"More Opiates & Bike Song is a new LP by Hurray. Each side of the album has three versions of one song. The music is improvised, but for one reason or another lyrics, notes, ideas - these are songs. They can be replayed, just not in the same way twice. The musicians make up the music in a rock-space, while remembering what they did the last time they called it More Opiates or Bike Song. More Opiates begins in a slow, blues mode with a bass line and a second guitar picking up the tune as the other one explodes. The singer sings of a woman, drugs, concern or condemnation. The second version is slow too, but drums and dueling guitars eventually grow into a martial horse-ride, Lancelot in Lancelot. The third Opiates floats on a voice, a guitar and a keyboard, much less rhythm. Side B has a new song and sound quality. It has a new singer too. He sings of an encounter and a bike shop, talking with an echo, like a ghost. There are two drummers, one keeps time, the other one interrupts. Sometimes the music stops, leaving the ghost alone. Then they all come back and play rock, take a solo in the empty space. The marching version starts on a dime, and later, when everything collapses, the instruments reconvene in new ways, forwarding the music. The last Bike Song is the sparsest and has the closest singing. This time you can get the story. Hurray has played music in New York since 2002. This is the bands forth LP and their first one with words. Comes with digital download codes for the digitally inclined". - Hurray.

After nearly a decade of false starts, multiple game plans veering off the rails, and a handful of shattered hopes and/or dreams, the odyssey is finally complete—the new Fusetron site is here.

This is the first phase of a multipart rollout that will span the next few months: the currently browsable stock includes miscellaneous new releases from the past 8+ months (we have a lot of catching up to do), plus approximately a third of our backstock. Note that we’ve reduced/slashed prices on many titles and will continue to do so in order to make room for new stock. We’ll also be expanding / tweaking / improving / debugging the site itself (for example, we still have work to do on the automated international postage system, not to mention the inevitable inventory discrepancies that come with transferring an ancient and massive database to a new system).

Over the next few months, as we take inventory, clean house, and delve into our storage, we will be uploading thousands of additional items, gradually, on a near-daily basis. This will include the majority of the LPs, as well as many titles, in all formats, once thought long-gone. Many currently “sold out” items are likely to resurface.

Finally, once our general backstock is up (probably in the next two or three months) we’ll begin making our extensive stockpile of rarities available online for the first time: tons of random out-of-print titles, "deadstock," warehouse finds, secondhand collectibles, etc., accumulated over the past few decades.

Frequent/returning customers will be getting early access to these items. Details to follow on how this will work (a priority mailing list? a 'frequent flyer'-like program?), but it will not be based on dollars spent. We want to reward those who consistently support us, especially in the discogs marketplace era (to those who show up trying to poach five copies of a one-off rarity, and nothing else, ever… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ).

So—we suggest you take some time to dig through the site—even we’ve been surprised by what’s been turning up, and there’s much more to come.
