We got two beautiful new tapes in the mail from Chicago’s Field Studies, both are well worth your attention. Lunar Miasma, a synth powerhouse from Greece, delivers a twenty minute cartridge of new age skinburners. A must for fans of Pulse Emitter, Emeralds, OPN, etc. The second new one, a split between Quicksails and Floating [...]
Mister William Berry of the excellent Amethyst Sunset label and distro is currently running a sale to help fund some new releases he has lined up, including new LPs from OMGV #1 crush John Elliott (Imaginary Softwoods) and our favorite boy on the side, Sean McCann. Just listen to those tunes below then try and [...]
Uh oh. More cassettes. Haters, look away. Quickly! Anyways, this has been out for awhile, but seeing as how I have been jamming the shit out of it lately I thought it worthy of a note. This is a collection of tracks from the past four years that never made it off Adam Forkner’s hard-drive, [...]
Finally. An analog edition of Locrian’s The Crystal World. As if André Foisy and Terrence Hannum weren’t creating enough aural mayhem on their own, they’ve gone and augmented the Locrian core with the percussive innovation of Stephen Hess. If you have not been paying attention to this band, you are seriously missing out on a [...]
Oh, Boris merch ordering options, when will you cease raping my wallet (and my heart)? If you click on over to their HelloMerch store, you can find quite a few enticing options for the two new North American albums from these Japanese heart-throbs, including online store exclusive vinyl colorways and logos imprinted on American Apparel’s [...]
The Relapse debut for Chicago doom juggernauts Indian is almost ready for you to get your grabby little fingers on, pre-orders are running right now for 180 gram black or yellow/green vinyl copies (don’t even ask for clear!). You can expect a fairly severe pummeling from down-tuned strings and stampeding drum-kits, give a listen at [...]
Digitalis has some new vinyl out, need we even mention that it’s totally essential? Carousell a moniker of Richard Skelton, an absolute god of experimental music. For our readers that can’t get into the harsh, synthetic side of drone, here’s your entry point. “Black Swallow & Other Songs” is a beautiful, heart-wrenching collection of organic [...]
I couldn’t be happier about High Wolf blowing up lately, the dude has been quietly cranking out mind-melding, outer-limit tunes for awhile now. He’s hard to pin down, so I won’t try to give any background, plus it really doesn’t matter. His music is the perfect drop-out soundtrack, ideal for forgetting the world completely. This [...]
This is one of two debut releases for Spectrum Spools, a new label hellbent on releasing amazing underground jams on our favorite analog format. As we mentioned in our previous post about the Fabric LP, John Elliott from Emeralds is resident curator for this exciting new imprint, so you would do well to pay attention. [...]
Now that we’ve mentioned the first two releases from Spectral Spools, let’s move onto their next offering. The two newest albums on this impressive label are proof positive of what we have been suspecting all along – that it is going to dominate. Mist (the unbeatable duo of John Elliott and Sam Goldberg) unleash their [...]
