New release announcement: MARK TRECKA Propelled by mangled breakbeats, cassette cut up experiments, and Mark Trecka’s crooning howl, “Romance Wake Naming” draws from the experimental and even hip-hop roots of industrial music to contextualize a kind of dark avant art pop. The first single “Wake Dance Romance,” is produced and mixed by legendary industrial figure Paul Barker who also added synth performance and drum programming. Barker’s iconic work with Ministry, Revolting Cocks, and other Wax Trax! luminaries helped to define the sound of American post-punk and industrial music, and he continues to break new ground with his project Lead Into Gold and this new collaborative relationship with Mark Trecka. Romance Wake Naming is available via The Garrote on cassette / digital, and will be released on 5.29.26. Preorders are open. Listen to “Wake Dance Romance” now. Thanks to @jessedraxler and @radicaliconography for including the single on the RIP.ID curated streaming platform @m_trecka @leadintogold @thegarrote Cover image @ollvvr Trecka/Barker image @urzulka

Early praise for “Romance Wake Naming” from @thewiremagazine : “Trecka layers lo-fi loops, shifting rhythms and prismatic textures to craft emotionally resonant, structurally intriguing songs [and] croons with a confidence rarely heard outside the context of superstardom.” • Today, we are sharing the last single from “Romance Wake Naming” before release day on MAY 29 — listen to “Praying to the Seams” now and pre-order the full-length on cassette / digital.

“Correspondences as Shelter” ep. 18 is on @radioalhara today at midnight in Bethlehem / 5PM EST _ • “I try to reason and I tell myself you’ll return.” / “It is not my job to win you over with a persuasive argument, but to impart to you a vibrational experience that is capable of awakening a desire for another world.” / “We have noted how a song borrows existent physical bodies in order to acquire, while it’s being sung, a body of its own. [...] And the song shifts unpredictably from one borrowed body to another.” / “No sequence, only a being. No journey, only a dance.” / “What night endeavors must we embrace to enter that hidden frequency?” • In the many ways we name various absences, attuning and debating, and celebrating, one may account for a humming, a feeling, if not an order, if not words. In this accounting, a sense of the inexorable, the uncanny. Featuring the voices and work of: Jeanne Lee, Jackie Wang, Assata Shakur, John Berger and Susan Sontag, Dorothy Day, Alice Coltrane, Laurie Anderson, Fred Anderson and Hamid Drake and Harrison Bankhead, mourners at Steve Biko’s funeral, Tsegue Maryam-Guebrou, Hélène Cixous, Sonny Sharrock, Fred Moten, Roberta Flack. Title quotes are Roberta Flack, Jackie Wang, John Berger, Jeanne Lee, and Jackie Wang, respectively; all quoted from this episode, except for the Berger, which is from his essay, “Some Notes About Song (for Yasmine Hamdan)”. • • • • This program was originally developed for Raven Chacon’s Radio Coyote, with support from the CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts. _

“Correspondences as Shelter” ep. 17 is on @radioalhara today at midnight in Bethlehem / 5PM EST / etc. _ • “Imagination is always in excess.” / “First of all, you have to design yourself.” / “[…] easy to wade across.” / “The things which allow us to make sense of a world which exists but is ambiguous as to its meaning until we make sense of it.” / “But the spell is never total.” _ • Matters of structure, systems of classification, the written versus the oral and the written versus the reverberating; the invention of new practices of freedom and the intentional triggering of deja vu: all constellated here for the benefit of just such senses, which is not to say the senses, but the sense that these various attempts, ongoing, to trigger the inexpressible, are in fact bound up with one another.
