Burial Grid : My Body Dissolves as I Watch and Dissolve

Burial Grid’s sound lives within the buzzing and crackling of analog synths. A wild and cathartic bee swarm noise of nightmares and fever dreams, mixed with a heavy dose of self-examination. Over the course of 2017 and 2018 Burial Grid’s Adam Michael Kozak recorded a 5-song opus called My Body Dissolves as I Watch and […]

Com Truise Readies ‘Persuasion System’; Listen To “Existence Schematic”

From the first time I heard Com Truise’s Galactic Melt I was hooked on Seth Haley’s sound. Even though there’s a little over decade that separates Mr. Haley and myself age-wise, it’s as if he was riding a BMX bike along side me down the county road I lived on to the nearby convenience store […]

Dave Harrington Group : Pure Imagination, No Country

Dave Harrington is a sound collage maker. He’s known as a guitarist, but he’s far more than that. With the smooth guitar vibes of David Gilmour mixed with the eclectic ear of Brian Eno, Harrington builds intriguing castles of noise that touch the limits of ambient, jazz fusion, and even post-rock at times. My first […]

Pye Corner Audio : Hollow Earth

Man, what took me so long to find my way to Pye Corner Audio? Seriously, I’ve heard the name for years now from folks that seemingly matter, yet I never heeded their advice. Like whispers in darkened corners and strange messages left on the front stoop written on hotel stationary that simply reads “Pye Corner […]

Fourteen

I remember my 14th birthday like it was yesterday. It was the birthday my parents bought me my first electric guitar. It was a 1986 Squier Stratocaster. Blue with white pickguard. They’d bought it with the help of my guitar teacher at the time Jim Howie from Paradise Music Store. In my hometown at that […]

Light And Dark : The Sonic World of Record Label Soundtracking The Void

It really is the time of the record label, isn’t it? There are so many great, smaller labels that have stepped out of the ether over the last decade to blow our minds and empty our wallets. Labels like Death Waltz Originals, Tiger Lab Vinyl, Holodeck Records, Burning Witches Records, El Paraiso Records, Data Airlines, […]

Phantoms vs Fire : WLDLFE

One of the most intriguing and beguiling releases last year was Phantoms vs Fires’s Swim(released via Burning Witches Records.) That album seemed to absorb everything it came into contact with and reflected it back to the listener in some beautifully alien way. It was an electronic album that sounded to be built out of individual […]

Panda Bear : Buoys

Panda Bear, aka Noah Lennox, could never be accused of being boring. He pushes the boundaries of electronic and experimental pop music both in Animal Collective and with his solo records. His 2007 masterstroke Person Pitch influenced an entire generation of young indie rock musicians to buy a minimoog and sampler and write about their […]

Random Grab : Le Matos’ ‘Chronicles of the Wasteland/Turbo Kid’ S/T

Le Matos came into my life at a very strange time. In late January of 2016 I had my local record shop order in a few albums for me. They weren’t ones I was really familiar with, but ones I was curious about. Law Unit with Antoni Maiovvi and Matt Hill, Jodorowsky’s Dune S/T by […]

Eerie Family : S/T

I imagine if Jack Skellington and Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas started a band based on a mutual love of 50s rock and roll, Low, Suicide, and X then I think it would sound like Eerie Family. Eerie Family is Alex Cuervo and Alyse Mervosh, the husband and wife duo from Hex Dispensers, as […]
