WESTERN PINK by The Jack Cardigan Orchestra

The Jack Cardigan Orchestra's ‘WESTERN PINK’ is the soundtrack to the inevitable film of the same name.

Arranged and performed by “The Jack Cardigan Orchestra and Joseph Matick,” a web of performers and contributors from 10 years of ideation, the collection of tracks that would eventually make up the album arrived in the inbox of Velvet Bikini label head, Luke C., amongst 50 other recordings, voice notes, scenes, and random auditory captures. The folder of audio sketched out a fascinating compendium that was cut, compiled, and edited into an LP that plays out as the current oeuvre of the ‘WESTERN PINK’ filmic universe.

Like its overarching film, the 10 tracks touch on symbolism and prophecy via intriguing takes on ambient, noise, outsider folk, psych rock, and trip-hop adjacent grooves. It’s a unique body of work that offers an esoteric aesthetic designed to captivate and challenge.

‘WESTERN PINK’ will be available digitally and as a limited-edition VHS and cassette release. Joseph Matick is a Paris-based poet and filmmaker. ‘WESTERN PINK’ is his first offering for Velvet
Bikini C/O Avec Jack.

This is pretty spectacular. Not sure how to describe it, but whoever in the feedback said it reminds them of Arthur Russell is kinda right - if Arthur had a lo-fi post-punk noise streak. I totally might write about this.
