Sing the Children Over

In 2002, I spent the whole year without using an escalator. Anyone who has ever been to the A&B Sound in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada understands how awkward that can be. It has just become cold enough to use two blankets while sleeping. This is the magic of Kath Bloom & Loren (Mazzacane) Connors. A duvet and a thick wool blanket matted together. I first heard Connors while reading a zine about free weird late 60's Quebec ensemble L'infonie. Many years later, a few day after I finally graduated and a few days before I was about to finally leave Montreal, I found a copy of their 2nd LP, Volume 333. Fast forward several years to the near-present, Los Angeles, California. I buy the Chapter Music re-issue the 1982 Sing the Children Over based on strength of character of the salesman. Kath Bloom & Loren Connors sing through my headphones, a steady delicate lead voice and guttural accompaniment.
