Numero

The Numero Group is a Chicago-based record label, dedicated to the preservation and celebration of lesser-known artists. Their exploration spans the globe and reaches deep into the recesses of music history to&nbsp;create compilations of previously released music, reissues of original albums, and creation of album reconstructions from a variety of musical genres.

The label's focus since its 2003 founding has been to research and preserve obscure recorded material and ephemera by artists and entrepreneurs who found little commercial success upon their material's initial release.

By the late 60's, radio-delivered psychedelia had saturated even the heartland of the usa. 'a lovely sight', pisces' only attempt at an lp, never made wax; but the fuzz guitar phrases and tambourine shuffle of 'dear one' instantly illustrate the band's woozy realm. deeper inside, bass scales borrowed from 'sgt pepper' give way to who moves wrecked by bad fidelity and harsh intrusions of found audio. jefferson airplane's swirled, lysergic haight st utopia melds with the urban narcosis of the velvet underground's east village. but pisces hailed from another ghost town altogether; rockford, illinois, where rusted, endless plains bear clsoe resemblance to a bummer acid trip or a junkie's rock bottom. in 1969, the industrial midwest was hurting for the hard stuff, but what it got was plenty of 'the white album', - enough to have jim krein, paul diventi, abd linda bruner recording through a glass onion all their own. the unsettling balance of their unissued lp combines homespun psychedelic vision and secondhand studio trickery with naive readings of the rock sound of the day, resulting in a diverse, haunted rock headspace few coastal bands ever flew through, let alone over. on numero.
