New Mary Ocher 10" / Klangbad77

Mary Ocher closes 2017 with the release of a further trove of songs.
The "Faust Studio Sessions and Other Recordings" 10" is a collection of pieces whose vast majority was
recorded during the sessions that gave birth to "The West Against The People", Ocher's full-length release
that came out on Klangbad earlier this year to much praise, released alongside a sociopolitical essay and
further collaborations (Felix Kubin, Die Toedliche Doris).
These two weeks of recordings were made with Hans Joachim Irmler at the Faust Studio, which is located in
a small village by the Swiss border, in a big industrial space overlooking the Danube. Mary's two drummers,
Your Government joined the sessions for a short while, the rest was recorded solo. The 10" also features a
collaboration with cello player Julia Kent (Antony and The Johnsons) - in a rendition of Robbie Basho's
phenomeal "Blue Crystal Fire", the second collaboration is a live recording with German experimental artist
Hans Unstern and his band, known for their use of self built instruments.

"Faust Studio Sessions and Other Recordings" is a mutual release of the German label Klangbad and the
Swedish Sing A Song Fighter. Watch the ‘The Irrevocable Temple of Knowledge’ and see Mary on tour over the next months.
