demos, the new EP by Karima Walker, is out today!
From For the Rabbits' review of demos:
"While the concept of a demo version can sometimes feel like seeing
something uncooked, here it feels like watching Karima put the pieces
together of a particularly fiendish puzzle as you second-guess where the
sketches might end up in the stunning finished product that was Waking
The Dreaming Body. Take How It Falls Apart, while it feels loosely
familiar you certainly couldn’t tie it to a specific track on the final
record. The track was inspired by memories of being a long-distance
runner when Karima was in high school, as Karima recalls, she, “would
go whole miles spelling this word, e-s-t-c-e-q-u-e…something about the
rhythm of this word would just kinda fit with how my body was moving”. This jogging mantra became a way of, “mapping a landscape”
and the looping pattern became the base rhythm of the song. From that
physical place, Karima seems to almost ground herself, allowing her true
thoughts to pour forth, as she questions everything she’s known up
until this point, “everything comes from god’s own hand, a little
sweeter than I can stand. Knew the story thirty years ago, conversation
was a sinking stone, fraying edges of what we know”. There’s
something disarmingly intimate about this recording as if we’re being
invited to peek behind the curtain, see the whirring cogs, the inflating
lungs, the fizzing synapses that make up a perfectly complex thought
process, it’s unusual and beautiful all at once, from this most special
of talents you’ll quickly learn to expect nothing less."

Karima Walker & Advance Base have made the difficult decision to postpone the April UK tour. Here's a statement from Advance Base's Owen Ashworth:
With the current levels of COVID infections
in England & Scotland, we just don't think it's the right time to
travel overseas & perform the kinds of shows that we've worked so
hard to prepare. So, in the interest of our health & yours, we're
coordinating with venues & promoters to reschedule our UK dates for
August & September, with the hopes that COVID numbers will be at a
more manageable level by the time we return.
All of the dates that have already been rescheduled are listed below. If you'd already purchased tickets for our April shows at any of these venues, your tickets will be valid for the rescheduled dates. Our rescheduled Oxford show has been moved from Fusion Arts to The Library, but Fusion Arts tickets are still valid for the new venue.
Advance Base & Karima WalkerAug 28, 2022- Manchester, UK @ Gulliver's

Sept 05, 2022- Bristol, UK @ Cube Cinema
Sept 06, 2022- Oxford, UK @ The Library (Moved from Fusion Arts)
We're still working to confirm new dates for Edinburgh, Brighton & Hull. Updates will be posted at orindal.limitedrun.com/pages/tour-dates as soon as we have more information to share.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to reschedule a Hastings show through the same ticket vendor. If you purchased tickets for Hastings, or if you purchased tickets for any other show but are unable to attend the new date, email advancebase@gmail.com & I'll get you in touch with the ticket sellers to ensure that your money is refunded.
I'm truly sorry for any inconvenience the postponed dates may cause. Postponing our tour has proven to be a costly & time consuming undertaking, & Karima & I did not take the decision lightly. Regardless, we're still pretty sad about postponing our visit to the UK. We hope to see you in August & September.
Some news that we're happy to report:
Karima Walker, Advance Base & Claire Cronin are touring the West Coast off the US in May!
To mark the announcement, Advance Base released a new song called "Little Sable Point Lighthouse". It's available now from Bandcamp.
Karima Walker's new EP, demos, is out tomorrow (April 1). Read For the Rabbit's preview HERE.
"how it falls apart" is the first single from demos, a new EP by Tucson, AZ singer, songwriter & sound designer Karima Walker. On demos, Karima Walker shares early, home-recorded versions of songs from her critically acclaimed 2021 folk/ambient album Waking the Dreaming Body,
alongside illuminating sketches and ambient pieces. The demo versions
of “Softer,” “Window I” and “Reconstellated” feature alternate lyrics
and intimate acoustic arrangements that highlight the power of Walker’s
voice and musicianship, while ambient pieces like "thunder interlude"
and "earth into air" plumb deeper depths of tension.
demos is out April 1, 2022 on all digital platforms via Orindal & Keeled Scales. A limited cassette edition with alternate cover art is out on April 30, 2022.
Pre-order your copy of demos HERE.

Wednesday's new covers collection, Mowing the Leaves Instead of Piling 'em Up, is out today on limited edition cassette & digital formats!
Here's what the critics have to say:
"Back in January, Wednesday showed off their country bona fides with a trio of covers for Aquarium Drunkard, songs by Roger Miller and Drive-By Truckers and, best of all, a quivering yet towering take on Gary Stewart’s brilliant “She’s Acting Single (I’m Drinking Doubles).” Those songs all appear on Mowing The Leaves Instead Of Piling ‘Em Up, the band’s new covers LP out today. So do songs originally recorded by Smashing Pumpkins, Vic Chesnutt, Medicine, Chris Bell, Hotline TNT, and Greg Sage. As they did with Edie Brickell’s “Ghost Of A Dog” at the end of Twin Plagues, Wednesday make these tunes their own. If you like noisy melodic guitar music with a bit of twang in it, this stuff is crack." - Stereogum
"Given that the songs range from a pair of country classics, to latter day Americana, to more mainstream alternative rock, the album primarily serves as a further sampler of what Wednesday does right. Namely putting together melodic song structures slathered over with more than a fair share of feedback and an off-handed charm courtesy of Hartzman’s vocals." - Under the Radar
Purchase Mowing the Leaves Instead of Piling 'em Up on cassette & digital formats HERE. You can also purchase cassettes in special-priced bundles with other Wednesday cassettes & color vinyl LPs HERE.
Wednesday kick off their US tour tonight with a sold out show at Static Age in Asheville, NC!

Tucson, AZ ambient/Americana artist Karima Walker will perform a live set for Audiotree today at 1PM Central! Tune in at audiotree.live.
Orindal Records recording artists Advance Base (Chicago, IL) & Karima Walker (Tucson, AZ) are bringing their cosmic, electronic Americana to the UK, performing intimate & immersive back-to-back solo sets featuring gentle synthesizers, sleepy drum loops, ambient field recordings, psychedelic visuals & folk-style vocals.
****
Advance Base is the melancholic story song project of Owen Ashworth (formerly of Casiotone for the Painfully Alone), making their much anticipated return to the UK following the release of 2020’s Live at Home & 2021’s Wall of Tears & Other Songs I Didn’t Write.
"A Raymond Carver short story collection set to music by a Joan of Arc-era OMD" - MOJO
****
Singer, sound designer & filmmaker Karima Walker makes her UK debut following the critical acclaim of her 2021 folk/ambient album Waking the Dreaming Body (co-released by Keeled Scales), featured on best of the year lists by GoldFlakePaint, Gorilla Vs. Bear, For the Rabbits & more.
“With
her uncanny Americana, Walker’s experimental inclinations have allowed
her to explore some previously un-plumbed liminal space on the horizon,
somewhere between sand and sky.” - Pitchfork
Tickets are on sale now at orindal.limitedrun.com/pages/tour-dates.
Wednesday recorded high octane covers of some of their favorite songs by Gary Stewart, Roger Miller & Drive-By Truckers for an Aquarium Drunkard Lagniappe session! Stream the session & read Karly from Wednesday's breakdown of each track now, only at Aquarium Drunkard.
