Root Strata just posted a huge update of new releases, and while it is definitely worth checking out everything (new book + DVD from Liz Harris aka Grouper anyone?), OMGV will simply touch on what is pertinent to the blog at hand. That being mainly two new vinyl releases – one from Duane Pitre and another from Common Eider, King Eider. Duane Pitre presents some experimental music via his ensemble of “bowed harmonic-guitars” which essentially means you are in for some amazing, meditative drones. Common Eider, King Eider on the other hand simply blows the roof off with some insane burned-out psychedelia featuring Grouper and Tom Carter of Charalambides on a pair of tracks. Good news is that Thrill Jockey now handles Root Strata’s distribution, so rest assured your records will arrive in a timely and well packaged manner. $14 each, listen to long samples and place your order for Common Eider, King Eider here and Duane Pitre here. These are limited to 300 each so act fast! Tape fiends definitely need to be checking out the new batch as well. Amazing releases from Le Révélateur, Pulse Emitter, Keith Fullerton Whitman and William Fowler Collins can now be purchased at mimaroglumusicsales.com.
