about

The Thing We Fought For is a split release from Washington, DC’s LMB Records and Hagerstown, MD’s Estavelle Records. The first side contains a new improvised work for large acoustic ensemble and is available here for download and purchase:

abemamet.bandcamp.com/album/the-thing-we-fought-for

The tape available through LMB and Abe Mamet also features a cover variant including oil-painted monotype j-cards designed and printed by Leigh Sabisch in Charleston, South Carolina.

This side captures the tail end of a month of the musicians playing, living, and exploring together in rural Italy while on a residency there in March 2023.

The Estavelle side is a reimagined meditation on this improvised work focusing on the movement and manipulation of electrons, assembled by our in-house sound artist, Seventh Shadow of the Sun. The cassette available here includes an artwork variant with an original digital design.

Quiet streets
Smokestacks whisper
Of pain, love, and awareness
(audience boos)
Aged cheese?
Of course! In Austria..
I move through energy fields
like an electron
Don’t laugh - Cry!
“The BeBop dance”
