Rvng Intl. just announced its new 12″ series entitled FRKWYS. A play on the name of the legendary Folkways record label founded by Moses Asch in the late 40s to document sound and movement in music from around the world, the FRKWYS (think Freakways) 12″ series pairs contemporary artists and their progenitors by way of remix, reinterpretation, and original collaboration. The first release in the series features collaborations from NYC avant-pranksters Excepter with Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti of Throbbing Gristle and Chris & Cosey, JG Thirlwell of Foetus and his many alter egos, and Jack Dangers of Meat Beat Manifesto. Out of full respect for and importance of this collection we packaged each 12″ in classic tip-on style jackets wrapped in black leatherette and overlayed with Frkwys “family portraits”, creating a truly substantial and archival quality. Expect 9 more of these.
