pinkcourtesyphone: foley folly folio

edition of 500 | May 2012 LINE SEGMENTS is the new series (or sublabel?) of releases on LINE which will highlight some, perhaps, very non-LINE-like works. Works that stray from the norm… more maximal, maybe… louder, maybe… noisier maybe… beat-oriented, maybe. So many possibilities… a chance to showcase some things LINE loves. The first LINE SEGMENTS release is the lugubrious Foley Folly Folio by Pinkcourtesyphone. But what IS Pinkcourtesyphone and why is it so delicious? Pinkcourtesyphone is dark but not arch, with a slight hint of humor. Pinkcourtesyphone is amorphous, changing, and slipping in and out of consciousness. Pinkcourtesyphone desires to capture the sonic essence of some nicely dressed 1960′s housewife wistfully peering out her window while reclining on some lovely couch or divan, with, of course, a slowly sipped cocktail and perhaps half of a Valium. Perhaps she is waiting for the phone to ring. Pinkcourtesyphone operates like a syrupy dream. Pinkcourtesyphone strives to be both elegant and detached. Pinkcourtesyphone remained dormant for a long time. Attention listeners… Pinkcourtesyphone is calling… please pick up.
