Eric Lanham “The Sincere Interruption” LP

The one thing we simply do not like about Carl Calm is that there is not nearly enough Carl Calm on vinyl… well, this isn’t exactly Carl Calm, but the man behind the moniker is none other than Eric Lanham, and here he presents his debut album under his own name. This is coming out [...]

Caboladies “Renewable Destination” LP

Students of Decay presents a new full length LP from Chris Bush and Eric Lanham aka electronic weirdo superduo Caboladies. This type of fried electronica was pretty much tailor made for playback on a turntable, preferably loud. The SoD pre-order is long sold out, but you can score a copy now from experimedia.net, and we recommend [...]

Carl Calm “A Party Tide” CS

Carl Calm has got a new tape out. Copies popped up at Tomentosa for a few hours, but disappeared quickly. Looks like Keith Fullerton Whitman has got some copies in his Mimaroglu distro now, hard to say for how long. I would say this is an absolutely essential cassette for anyone who loves minimal-techno and [...]

DNT Records – Caboladies & Family Underground LPs

DNT has put several new releases up in their label distro section, two new(ish) LPs and a handful of cassette tapes (which we will not go into detail about in order to stave off hysteria). Caboladies is another super-duo whose individual members also happen to release awesome solo material (Flower Man and Carl Calm) so [...]

Carl Calm “Dayglo Port” LP

Anyone who picked up Carl Calm’s DNT tape is probably, like myself, frothing at the mouth at this point in anticipation of hearing some new material. Well, that time has not quite arrived yet, but you should be pleased to know it is shortly forthcoming. The Dekorder label in Germany is releasing an LP of [...]
