West Bank - Itchy Kisses
02/06/26
The second single from New Orleans based artist Itchy Kisses' upcoming album, "FANTAST SWEET" coming May 2026
"The West Bank of New Orleans, like much of the surrounding Mississippi River industrial corridor, has been heavily impacted by
decades of industrial pollution, earning the broader region the nickname "Cancer Alley". The area’s toxicity stems from a high
concentration of petrochemical plants, refineries, and hazardous waste sites that have polluted the air, soil, and groundwater,
particularly affecting marginalized and low-income communities."
"Hey r/NewOrleans, I've been looking at places to live in New Orleans, and I'm just so not used to "by the river" lifestyle, coming from the Midwest.
I was in the city earlier this year and got to know quite a deal about the Eastbank, but I don't know much about the Westbank other than you have to
take a bridge to get there (and what a clusterfuck it can be sometimes... only had to cross the bridge two or three times to get to Algiers Point).
So for someone who, as I mentioned in another thread, grew up in suburbs and smaller cities, what is the Westbank like compared to areas like Uptown or Mid-City? "
I'll see you tonight
We're gonna take your car out on a long drive
I'll see you tonight
I heard there's a party on the west bank
I'll see you tonight
Pull up to the function looking extra fine
I'll see you tonight
I wanna feel your body right next to mine

Lives at Arabia Mtn + Live improv video - Armari e
01/31/26
We are extraordinarily pleased to begin our long awaited videonic mission. A mission in which we bring you special moving images.
Becca Rodriguez AKA Armari e shares a blanket of improvisation using new their new ceramic flutes, familiar clay vessels, and hardware elctronics.
Armari e recently re-located to Brooklyn from Atlanta and has began performing around NYC and crafting their own ceramic flutes.
In addition to this video performance, we are publishing Lives at Arabia Mtn on our Bandcamp.
Lives at Arabia Mtn is a commissioned sound piece made for an event called An Evening of Story & Sound
in the Urban Forest by Lostintheletters in collaboration with Trees Atlanta.
<a href="https://callwaitn.bandcamp.com/track/lives-at-arabia-mtn">Lives at Arabia Mtn by Armari e</a>
"Lives at Arabia Mtn features two tree field recordings taken at Arabia Mountain on Jan. 24, 2025 ~12:30pm, and Nov. 2, 2024 ~9:30pm
accompanied by flute and resounding drums, drones, and feedback distortion all made with my ceramic vessels.
My ID skills are a bit rusty, but I believe my daytime field recording (1/24/25) is a cricket frog, perhaps the Eastern Cricket Frog.
The nighttime field recording (11/4/24) features cicadas and cars and was taken during Arabia Mtn's Stargazing & Mythology night.
The ceramic drums begin more calm and towards the end get a bit more clanky and intentionally blown out -- I was thinking about Arabia Mtn's
history of granite quarrying here. I grew up spending summers in Conyers with my dad who lived 5 min from Arabia Mtn. We'd always take walks
and look at our reflections in the remnants of shiny finished abandoned granite. While working on this piece I also learned that Arabia Mtn's
granite was used here in NY in the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge.
But anyhow...if the end is too loud I am happy to edit a bit. Just some thoughts I had during composition I thought I'd share :] "
Lungs - Kwami Winfield
12/05/25
It's a 90 minute ambient noise tape by Kwami. Released in an edition of 50 blue tapes in cardstock sleeves.
The OOPS site for Lungs is the first to utilize the retro revived Winamp audio player and Butterchurn visualizer.
Control the EQ and fall deep inside the sound!
Find all that and the full text from Chai excerpted below at callwaitn.com/lungs.html
Purchase the tape by emailing us or on bandcamp.
Entire worlds viewed by a passing electron, a singular organ, the whole being, an environment experiencing itself.
lungs follows an internal rythym that escapes our ever reaching grasp, and asks us to consider other motives for
movement beyond the classic human kind. Kwami Winfield's rhythm is that of pure curiosity, and allowance for every
vibration to work at its own pace. One can Hear the thoughts of nature & technology converse in open dialogue as
the setting changes with her new radio-station simulator MAX patch, a backgrounded main feature of this composition... - Chai

"After my last tour in May/June 2024, I came back to New Orleans with an intensely clear vision
of how I wanted to reshape this project I have been making my solo music under since 2017.
I took some much needed time off to study new technical skills and reflect on the deeper purpose
of what my place was, making music in this fucked up world & more importantly the impact of it.
At the beginning of this year I wrote & recorded an 8 track album that l've since been figuring out
how to share in a musical landscape devoured by streaming & that is continuously being oversaturated
with more&more music every day. While I am still figuring that part out, life to me feels too short
for perfection & so the time has come to share the first piece of my new album with the world.
This Friday, 11/7/25, I'll b releasing the first single & music video titled
"Fantasy" from my new album titled "Fantasy Sweet".
I'm soooso excited to share this with everyone! (: Big thanks to the GOAT @buglung for making the most
epic music video of all time for the song & huge thanks to @callwaitn too, for helping me with the release!
& of course thank you to everyone who has come out to one of my shows in the past year & danced asf to my set !!!
seeing how so many people have understood my new vision & intentions for my music lately has honestly been amazing !
Much love & new music sooooon 4 u all byeeeee" -Itchy

Cursed Image (Self Titled)
released 03/20/25
<a href="https://callwaitn.bandcamp.com/album/cursed-image">Cursed Image by Cursed Image</a>
Wow, it's the first day of Spring.
We are simply delighted to share Cursed Image's self-titled debut album on an edition of 50 CDs and streaming digitally for the first time.
twee folk that could only exist in 2024? music for bugs? I'm a buggy? Horse Elves?!?!?!
Almost a year ago the duo of Caleb Chase and Kelly Chen trotted along a lil tour with a cassette edition of the song collection,
each tape hand collaged uniquely. Me, so lucky to receive one, sewing away listening with Joy.
A roommate asks, "ooo where can I listen to this? so cute...""
At the time there was tragically no way to listen if you didn't have one of the few cassettes!
Call Waitn aims to remedy that through phone line streaming, OOPS sites, and CDs!!!!
Kelly and Caleb rove between Worcester, Boston, NYC, and Philly, spreading their creative bubble cheer for life and collaboration
like syrup tapped from palm trees growing through a superfund site on Revere Beach. You will have to listen to experience the vibe.

beccarodriguez.github.io/bug-world/about.html
Becca Rodriguez is a Florida-raised artist living in Atlanta, Ga.
Their creative practice reflects on and is informed by the intersection of speculative fiction and prefiguration:
how learning and dreaming about worlds within and beyond our own can affix us in them presently.
Fluvial eggs, vessels, and ephemeral ecosystems are persistent motifs in their work across many disciplines:
ceramic, sound, video, drawing, printmaking, papermaking, and bioplastic research. Schemes For Funny Band - Matt Norman / Funny Band
