New Mamiffer Album Set For March Release

Hydra Head Records boss Aaron Turner (ex-Isis) has officially announced his label partnership Sige with Faith Coloccia of Mamiffer.The label will release Mamiffer‘s new outing “Mare Decendrii” on March 15th.

An official statement announcing the label can be found below:

SIGE was formed as an outlet for projects that Faith and I are directly involved in,” said Turner. “The idea was to create a situation whereby we could maintain control over our own music and art to the greatest extent possible, from the process of inception all the way through manufacturing and distribution.

By approaching things this way we can have a greater level of certainty that the releases will meet our expectations and stay true to our original intent. It also allows us a channel through which to work more closely with those we collaborate with and thus further strengthen those ties.”

Mare Decendrii is an emotional and intimate exploration of my relationship to piano, process, intuitive composition and to the collaborators and other band members involved. Sharing excitement about sound and composition and forming new friendships through this recording was a very important aspect of making this album,” explained Coloccia.

Co-produced by Randall Dunn (Sunno))), Bjork, Six Organs of Admittance, etc.), Coloccia and Turner were joined on the recording of Mare Decendrii by Eyvind Kang, Earth‘s Don McGreavy, ThronesJoe Preston, Mika Ratto and Jussi Lehtisalo of Circle, Russian CirclesBrian Cook, Black Math Horseman‘s Sera Timms, Travis Rommereim and others.”

For now, a joint statement from Craig Ericson of Rise Records and Eric Rushing of the Artery Foundation was issued to Altpress.com and can be read below:

His addiction needed immediate attention and with the help from MusiCares, we were able to make it happen. Rise Records and Artery Management will reimburse all people who Jonny took advantage of financially.

No one will be getting ripped off and we’d all like to issue a public apology to anyone who had been taken advantage of. Regarding live performances: the Emarosa/Chiodos tour will continue as planned with Tilian Pearson (former vocalist of Tides of Man) filling in for Jonny. All scheduled Dance Gavin Dance shows will happen as planned next month and beyond. Everyone from his team wishes Jonny the best in his recovery. We’re all looking forward to the new and improved Jonny.”
