BAIL BONDS CONTAINS 14 MINUTES OF CORROSIVE, PRIMAL HOUSE TRAX AND NIHILISTIC FUNK ABSTRACTIONS FROM MAXIMUM EXPOSURE BOSS TONY PRICE. BAIL BONDS IS TONY’S FIRST RELEASE SINCE 2022’S IBM CONTRA LP ON L.I.E.S. RECORDS. IN STARK CONTRAST TO THAT ALBUM’S EXPANSIVE CYBERNETICS, BAIL BONDS IS CRUDE, RUDE, IMMEDIATE AND UNREFINED.

PRODUCED AND RECORDED LIVE TO TAPE IN A BASEMENT IN MANHATTAN’S CHINATOWN, THESE RECORDINGS EMANATE A GRUFF AND BLEAK DOWNTOWN BRUTALISM THAT EVOKES ABEL FERRARA, GHERKIN RECORDS AND SCHOOLLY D IN EQUAL MEASURE. THE BURROUGHSIAN NEO-NOIR CUT UPS OF “NO LIFE” SETS THE SCENE FOR HYDRAULIC 808 WORKOUTS, JACKED-UP JUICEHEAD BEATDOWNS AND UNPROVOKED BACK ALLEY ACID ATTACKS.
THIS IS STONE COLD HOUSE MUSIC. PURE, UNADULTERATED AND UNFILTERED. A BITTER ANTIDOTE THE HIGH FRUCTOSE, FRUIT-FLAVORED NONSENSE OVERSATURATING YOUR SOCIAL FEEDS.

911 FIFTH AVENUE (1:27)

ARTWORK BY: CALVIN LECOMPTE
EXECUTIVE: TONY PRICE FOR MAXIMUM EXPOSURE INC.

CALVIN LECOMPTE’S 911 FIFTH AVENUE DRIVES YOU TO SOMEPLACE SAD AND MYSTERIOUS. COMPOSED AS BUMPER MUSIC FOR AN IMAGINED TV PILOT, THE SONG EVOKES A SQUAD CAR CARRYING YOU THROUGH A MIST OF FLASHING RED LIGHT. LECOMPTE’S VOCALS ARRIVE LIKE CLOSE-CAPTIONED SUBTITLES; 1010 WINS DRONES ON THE RADIO, GIVING VOICE TO A MEASURED PERFECTION OF EVERYDAY DELUSION.

WHILE LECOMPTE'S TELECASTER REBROADCASTS SHADOWS OF TELEVISED THEME SONGS, A CHORDAL STATIC BEADS LIKE RAIN ON THE WINDSHIELD. THE ESSENCE OF THE TRACK LIES IN BEING A DIRECT ADDRESS TO MANHATTAN: A MONOPHONIC PULSE SETS THE TONE, LIKE A STOPWATCH MONITORING THE HOURS BEFORE WORK LETS OUT, TOO RELAXED TO CATCH UP WITH THE GRINDING PACE OF NYC.

THROUGHOUT 911 5TH AVENUE, LIVE-TO-TAPE PRODUCTION VALUES RECREATE THE HYPNAGOGIC EUPHORIA OF THE SQUAD CAR, WHICH EVENTUALLY COMES TO SIT IDLY ON A GRASSY HIGHWAY MEDIAN, CONSUMED BY TECHNICOLOR FIELDS OF ANGEL FLOWERS.

Boomkat:

“‘IBM Contra’ is the best yet by Tony Price, the prolific Toronto label boss behind Maximum Exposure and producer behind four slick albums, plus busy studio engineer in home city and beyond. Effectively his definitive opus, ‘IBM Contra’ oscillates infectious electro and deep house-adjacent styles with properly realised beatless synth/jazz parts starring Dean Hurley collaborator Alex Zhang Hungtai, and Colin Fisher, that don’t feel like the usual, tacked-on interludes, but proper pieces in their own right that really emphasise and temper the album’s gripping narrative qualities.

Working somewhere in the shadows of David Kristian’s Canadian synth works, Cronenberg or Michael Mann soundtracks, and pulpier noir forms, the 14 tracks buckle up a thrilling, highly stylish ride from the the furtive intro ‘Empire’ to the panoramic peal of Hungtai’s sax on ‘Room 641A’, clocking up killer bits of Gesloten Cirkel or DJ Overdose-like electro on ’Tempest’ and the title tune, plus delectable deep electro-house in ‘Info’, and a ruthless variant of ghetto-tech scud and free-jazz heat in ‘CCTV’.

Bang on the dark and $£X¥ money, this one.”

“Producer Tony Price returns to Telephone Explosion Records with his new “MARK VI” LP. An eclectic set of songs with a distinctly late-night feel, the album features 16 tracks of oblique drum machine funk, sizzling electro dubs and freaky public access TV atmospheres that spill into the streets with the combustible energy of a late night radio dance party before dissolving into a melt of bizarro techno-surrealist jazz by album’s end.

The record is named after the 1981 Lincoln Continental Mark VI that Mr. Price purchased off of a former Detroit radio DJ and archivist while staying in New Mexico towards the end of 2020. The two hit it off and Tony left with a new car and a bag of cassette tapes featuring homemade mixes and radio recordings mostly dating back to the late 1980s. The tapes were electrifying. His eastbound drive across the country was soundtracked by the kinetic clank of Detroit Techno, bombastic Def Jam instrumentals, TR-808 freestyle workouts, jacked- up Chicago House and hundreds of advertisements for outmoded products and redundant services.

Utilizing an Ensoniq Mirage, various drum machines and synthesizers, Tony ventured to create an album that celebrated the unabashed eclecticism, futurism and explosive production techniques of the music and commercials he heard on these tapes; artifacts from a time just before the future ceased to feel as though it were still in front of us.”
