This news came in after I’d already posted for the morning, but in the interests of keeping Tape Tuesday alive and making sure the haters have something to steady hate on: here’s some afternoon zones for those of you who still abide the warmth of magnetic tape. Maggot Valley is back with two rad offerings [...]
Friends of Friends has got a great new 12″ from Shlohmo up for sale. If you’re a fan of Shlohmo then you are already familiar with his shlowed up beats, precise percussion and bass heavy wobble. But if you needed even more incentive, the vinyl features a remix from Nicolas Jaar, which you can stream [...]
Besides having one of the best damn distros around, Jeremy Bible’s Experimedia project is seriously picking up steam as a label. Every release within the past year (at least) is completely essential. From the Mouth of the Sun pairs Aaron Martin with Dag Rosenqvist, two heavily accomplished experimental composers, whose force combined has wrought Woven [...]
New Burial releases just seem to come out of nowhere these days. And while we would all love to see a new full length, I doubt any fans are going to turn their noses up at an EP clocking in at nearly 30 minutes. There is no release date set, but rest assured it will [...]
Non Projects doesn’t put out a whole lot of records, but they’ve got an incredible knack for finding exciting, interesting, worthwhile projects. They make sure every record they release is screaming for wide exposure. They are simply one of the most underrated labels on earth. Fitting then that their newest, Rarebit’s “Daizo”, is something pretty [...]
Thrill Jockey just dropped another great batch of records. The first is an inventive, sparkling new album from Dustin Wong titled “Dreams Say, View, Create, Shadow Leads”. You should be able to get a good feel for his layered compositions by listening to the tune below. They’ve also got another great, great, great psychedelic rock [...]
The Not Not Fun crew continues to dig deeper into the weirdo electronica scene with their two newest releases. Cuticle’s “Mother Rhythm Earth Memory” 12″ is a tilted wonkfest complete with expired-sizzurp-sipped vocals. Cruise Family’s “We’re in Heaven” 12″ stays closer to the dancefloor, delivering the late-night goods. Both are limited and cost $12 and [...]
New Digitalis vinyl, and a new album from the long-running skewed techno crew FRAK. Full-on electronic discombobulation. Get on board now or scour the distros later: digitalisindustries.com.
I am constantly impressed with Further Records. They find incredibly underrated electronic music, make super low pressings, and screenprint the packaging by hand. Their newest LP is “Mechanical Rain” from Rotterdam’s Ian Martin. It’s a dark, damaged slice of electronica, perfect for the late-winter affective disorder us midwesterners are currently suffering through. Give it a [...]
Steak Au Zoo is putting out some cool stuff lately, you should take a few moments to give these a spin. The Mpala Garoo / Golden Dwarves split is something that almost came out on SLG (then we got in a massive backlog) and the Lafidki / Orphan I Oliver split LP is a brilliant [...]
