Spring Spawned A YNGMNSTR Records
Chattanooga, TN art collective Young Monster are launching their record label YNGMNSTR Records with a 7” by Big Kitty, promising “mystical folk gem[s]” on both sides. The TTSCC Internet Musical Sound Research Facility investigated this claim and found that Big Kitty does indeed specialize in “mystical folk gems” that invoke a feeling of “Moonshine frolic” (their genre term, not ours).
The TTSCC welcomes YNGMNSTR Records to the world of records! The TTSCC welcomes all new record labels! They’re all cause for excitement! Huzzahs and raised glasses, for the independent spirit that causes one to share a love of music, and to share all over the world the sounds of friends and/or complete strangers and/or future mortal enemies (see: Greg Ginn/SST vs Everybody) is one to celebrate!
Prior to the opening of the Southern North America Distribution Center in Atlanta, GA, USA, the TTSCC, though it is populated, propagated, and propped up by the peoples of the world, was unaware of the ties between Atlanta, GA and Chattanooga, TN—it is the SEA to its TAC, the Buffalo to its Rochester, the Toronto to its Buffalo.
Through a labyrinth of internet connections woven throughout Atlanta’s art/music scene, we were finally introduced to Young Monster and their roiling amalgam of artistic jams. Expanding into records makes perfect sense. This first release is an interesting start, and we can’t wait to see what else they do.
