CROPR 11 — Crane Operator presents… i4c+ce+zm
October 23, 2026——Today, we present to you our first-ever compilation, the new split Extended Play from ideasforconversations, Christopher Emond, and Zachary Mezzo. Atone for your [insert sin]… super limited @crane____operator CD release… (?unknown quantity? copies available to pre-order now on the olrecords.com site)
Tbt.. traces the last year+ of joint shows, collaborations, and friendship between the roster-mates in New York, the *emotional* project brings each act slightly into each others musical realm - the shared D n’ A in the 6 songs melds quaint folk guitar and bowed banjo with toyish drum machines and synths, all weaved through by Mezzo’s layers of violin. It’s our #pleasure.
