Din's Nature - Din Ra
released 04/14/23
A dense accumulation of layers of repetition and forgetting, Din's Nature is the first of two horizontally composed EPs. Initiated by a line of text, generated from cascading strata of improvisation and sampled improvisations, to be then refined, according to what it 'feels like'. Din's Nature stretches and gets lost in a chorus in the middle, gathering elements into itself; sedimentary music, to listen to while stuck on Earth.

extra vox by Brigid Slattery
Juan Ponce de Leon was a quintessential Spanish "conquistador"- anti-humanitarian, a zealous Catholic hypocrite, a ravager of peoples, lands, and cultures. Early 1500s Christian Iberia was a place cobbled together through decades of ruthless power struggle and violence, and Ponce de Leon came out of that brutal world as a kind of apotheosis of the transference happening then of this caustic, anti-human energy westward, towards the exploitation of the "new world" and the people there- exploitation deemed necessary to fund further violence and power struggle among the monarchs of Europe. Ponce de Leon was the first "governor" of Puerto Rico, and was the first European to mount expeditions to Florida, where he was finally killed by the native Calusa people. Naturally, Ponce de Leon is a common street name throughout the Southern United States- in Atlanta, it is a major thoroughfare- Ponce is the name of a city in Puerto Rico. Should we be surprised that Americans today still live their lives on streets named for this evil man? Did Ponce de Leon not live the original "American Dream"- the dream of power- of exploitation, domination, rape, enslavement, and murder? "Ponce de Leon I'm walking in Atlanta Run your fuckin' gold the Southern sky is blinking down at us error after error Ponce de Leon pain buried like lost treasure Now lead me to the gold" Ponce de Leon I'm walking in New Orleans Run your fuckin' gold the Southern sky is blinking down at us error after error Ponce de Leon trauma buried like lost treasure. Now lead me to the gold" Ponce de Leon I'm walking in Atlanta Run your fuckin' gold the Southern sky is remembering violence! error after error Ponce de Leon they're gonna name shit after me now lead me to the gold" email us at callwaitn@gmail.com or visit our bandcamp for more info or to purchase a tape<3
Green in Grey - Saturn Lavender
released 02/08/23
Green in Grey is the first album release by Xander Louvre known as Saturn Lavender. This album is a reflection of nostalgia of past experiences in Chicago & now the cemeteries in New York City. With a new perspective on gloominess experienced living in Chicago, the feeling has turned from sadness to an appreciation of the grey skies shedding light on nature & the vibrations that come with it. Moss, grass, & the feeling of solitude grow & radiate when experienced in the cemeteries of NYC to a point where the sounds & auras of the people once living come blooming through the ground. An experience of harsh & melodic sounds rumbling in the dirt bursts a feeling that can be felt anywhere; Green in Grey is an ode to the ancestors who have passed & are now being guided by sound & light. An album dedicated to the many dark nights of the soul reminding you that even in the dark times there is a light that will guide you out from the trenches. Call Waitn is extremely excited to release this album in an edition of 50 transparent green tapes. This was also the first album recorded and dubbed in the Call Waitn HQ studio at the Living Gallery in Brooklyn NY <3 Download comes with access to the Custom Coded Website Mood board with streaming and visuals...

I Tried to Take Home With Me - Shitlove
+ New Excuses - Shitlove
released 10/06/22
We are so excited to release this new album by Shitlove. Email us at callwaitn@gmail.com to order a yellow cassette with QR Code to a website for the project with streaming, pix, and downloads <3 Shitlove is the songwriting project of Ani who has built bands Shimmer, Palberta and more. Born in 2020, Shitlove has grown to include two albums "New Excuses" and "I Tried To Take Home With Me" and has performed live in various manifestions/arrangements 'New Excuses' is a recorded culmination of some of the first songs Ani ever wrote and was brought to a studio near the Brooklyn Navy Yards in 2020. Between 2020 and 2021 Ani continued to record and release Shitlove material and went on a New York State Generator Powered Skatepark Music Tour. She and Matt Norman brought a guitar and E-drum kit to 14 skate parks around New York at a time when live music performance and gathering was still not accessible or happening. "New Excuses" is Ani's first attempt at recording and sharing her solo songwriting. This collection has some purity. "I Tried to Take Home With Me" is Ani's most recent album. Its a collection of both newer songs and re-recorded older songs performed with Matt Norman on E-Kit, and Kwami Winfield on bass. This album was recorded in the house Ani lived in with Kwami and Riley who engineered the album. The band was set up in Ani's bedroom with a snake of cables running downstairs into Riley's bedroom (Matt Norman's old bedroom.) Kwami's room was just resonating. All instruments and vocals were recorded at the same time and tracked/mixed onto 1/8" cassette tape. Months after recording, when the album was being finished, the housemates found out they were going to be evicted from their shared home. Since then the album has taken on more significance and remains a testament to the creative energy and spirit Ani was able to share and document with all her roomates. Ani and Matt are currently working on the newest Shitlove release, bound to be an entirely different vibe. The two are hoping to do another skate park tour, this time funded by the state of New York.

Metro - Kimdollars1
released 08/30/22
After a year-long hiatus while focusing on her work as a public school educator, NYC-born producer Kimila Lee Miller returns with her new EP, metro, under the kimdollars1 alias. Intended as a retelling of her relationship to New York, metro examines the contradictions present in urban living: freedom/loneliness, fulfillment/exhaustion, obfuscation/revelation. Sometimes the city is so bright that it conceals… dark glass reflects light and itself becomes blinding. The six tracks presented here vary in genre but are threaded by a consistent emotional and physical context that interrogates idealized and nostalgic conceptions of city life. You are invited to follow Kim on her travels. Recorded Summer 2021 in Manhattan and Queens, NY Written, recorded, produced, and mixed by Kimila Lee Miller Mastered by Mostafa Zhagloul at Temple Sound Studios (except track 3 by Kim) Album artwork by Kim Jenkins

Summer Fun - Cal Fish
released 9/15/21
The first single from the album Simple as a Sunset out on October 12th. Summer Fun with a video shot by Otto Ohle and Cal that follows Cal rollerblading down a vegetable planted hill repeatedly, to a diy skatepark in the skeleton of a demolished office building, to a straight up dump full of treasure and decay. The seemingly endless song is marked by shifting moods and phases. Cal introduces us with the refrain "Summer fun is what I want, we're watching stories to try and figure out what's going on..." and we end up hearing Arthur Russel's introductory lyrics from "Calling out of Context" about 11 minutes later as we fly down route 9w with the windows down. call 917-426-0260 and press 8 to stream!

The album Din Cinema is a collection of cinematic interiors for listeners to step inside of; if Din Cinema is the house, its songs are its rooms built from sampled improvisations, tactile synth textures, and sweeping vocals. Simple lyrical stories swirl through dense soundscapes delivered not so simply.

Ramona and Princess Din have assembled an album that whisks you in and then completely swallows you and it feels great.""
