New realms of sonic immersion from KC’s very own beloved son Justin Wright. The space rock vibes are in full force – repetition and trance driven by hypnotic drones. This project is so good. One-sided 12″ now available from exposeventy.com – limited to 200 copies in silkscreened covers, these are sold out from the label and won’t last [...]
It’s been an amazing year for Justin Wright. So many quality releases and re-issues for his Expo ’70 project, plus a nonstop stream of amazing underground releases on the Sonic Meditations label. 2012 is looking even better. Here’s Justin’s top ten from 2011: Peaking Lights “936″ Serpent Venom “Carnal Altar” The Wounded Kings “In The [...]
Immune, quite simply one of the best labels in the world, is taking preorders for two new cassettes by Expo 70. The first is a new pressing of the ever-popular “Where Does Your Mind Go?” (sold out two vinyl pressings now), the second is “Journey Through Astral Projection”, a brand new set of recordings from [...]
Seems like we are posting about a new release from Justin Wright every week, this project is incredibly prolific lately. Mostly because he has taken it upon himself to repress his entire back catalogue via Sonic Meditations, which is awesome. But this time it’s just a great pairing between one of our favorite drone artists [...]
Justin Wright is re-issuing this Sloow Tapes edition from 2009 on vinyl (and cassette, if you’d rather). We’ve gushed on this project quite a bit in these pages, and it’s not just because Justin shares a city with one of our writers. Expo 70 is at the top of his game, untouchable within this particular [...]
aka Holy shit look at all this vinyl I have to buy all of the sudden. In case you haven’t noticed, Aguirre Records is having a great year. Following up their last batch of must-grip vinyl (including Sean McCann and Red Electric Rainbow) is this newest round of catalog numbers. These all promise to be [...]
The fourth batch of tapes from Sweat Lodge Guru, our in-house label, has just became available. We couldn’t possibly be happier with these, the quality of music coming in just keeps getting higher and higher. This batch represents our deepest forays into electronica/wonk, plus our biggest tape release yet. A few things have also been [...]
Beta-Lactum Ring has a preorder up for one of the best drone albums of the past year, Expo ’70′s Sonic Messenger. This album is more mature and professional than anything he’s done before, it’s a seriously stunning piece of work. It’s a deep, psychedelic journey of the highest caliber. The label is giving it the [...]
Apparently this “tape trend” shows no signs of stopping or even slowing down anytime soon. As one of our readers commented: it’s a cheap way to discover new music that you just won’t find anywhere else. Buying yourself a reliable tape deck opens you up to a whole new world of blown-out, underground sound. But [...]
