radio: Oscar Sunday Brunch

We'd Like to Thank Our Choreographer

Last night we all sat through a brutal edition of the Oscar's, however, Hollywoods rewarded us this morning with a host of priceless Charlie Sheen comments. With that in mind, here is a string of well-loved and sequenced music from and inspired by films. Basically everything you could ever want from Hollywood, sans the TMZ upskirt pics, or whatever they are doing. #charliesheen

tonight: How I Quit Crack

In Realm

Been a long time coming but TX's How I Quit Crack, the nom de plume of Ernestina Forbis, is playing tonight at the Pendu thing at Secret Project Robot. Despite the fact that Brooklyn Vegan is throwing the Witch Haus signifier into play, there is no excuse for missing this show...even if you despise Witch Haus, one of the opening acts, Pendu, etc. Srsly, no excuses, as HIQC performances (and I use the word performance on purpose) are not a dime a dozen in the Northeast, and word about her shows travels long and far.

For over a year, Forbis has been crafting sublime inroads to a very dark places. Between screwing the shit out of Nirvana, turning Chris Isaac's "Wicked Game" into a 9-minute extended rumination of love/lose and issuing one of the best singles in recent memory ("In Realm" b/w "Gone Away" on Answering Machine Records), HIQC has quickly become one of the most exciting artists to emerge from the TX Triangle, despite only releasing a few songs on her Soundcloud page (follow here).

new: Arches Wide Awake LP

Comin' Back Again

No stranger to these pages, Arches have been making some of the most thoroughly enjoyable subtle guitar pop for a bit now, and now the Philly-based group is readying their debut record, Wide Awake. They've been upping songs to their Bandcamp at a steady stream and are now, um, streaming(!) the entire record. While digi is all-well and good, the boys have taken to Kickstarter to fund the vinyl release of the record. Nearly half way there after just a few days. Some great incentives, too! Be sure to catch them this coming weekend at the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn, then chip in to fund their vinyl release. Download (or stream) two new tracks below

new: Introducing Brain Club

Next Wave

Extremely happy to introduce a new endeavour undertaken by Austin, Texas's Jesse Jenkins & Kyle Dixon. Brain Club is a limited edition 12" series that will highlight boatloads of "outtakes, side projects, collaborations, rarities, live shows, b-sides, etc.," from friends in Austin and beyond. The inaugural 12" is a duality, one which seems to define Brain Club – the first side a deep spelunker in a stalagmite city; side two a more visceral, melodic experience amped by drum machines. While the sides contrast, the forces are working in conjunction to form a unilateral experience. I could spend a good deal of time going through the liner notes, but I recommend taking the time to do that yourself, as you'll want to become heavily acquainted with these two sides.

Grip here. Listen below.

Tracklist for Brain Club 001
smokey emery / be calm & still
vc childkraft / magnetik rose
thousand foot whale claw / lost in those dunes
heathen earth / untitled

TCC017 | Gem Trails Timeshares

Wormhole


Gem Trails is Trevor (Woodsman/Firetalk Records) nom de plume. A solo excursion into the nuanced underbelly of psychic reality. Timeshares is a visceral journey into the nether world where subtle fragments of life are rendered in slow-motion, only to be dissected, observed, and preserved for future citizens.

mix: DJMGG "Special Post-Jamaica"

ChaliceMastah creators Sun Araw & M. Geddes Gengras recently returned from a fruitful trip to Jah-make-ya with, a hum, a lot of fruit. While we're gonna have to wait a bit for the motherload, DJ MGG just posted this righteous mix of finds from the island. As he puts it:

I AND I RETURN FROM BABYLON WITH DEEP CUTS SCORED FROM BLACK-MOLD HOUSING WITH WAX STACKS ON EVERY SURFACE. JAMAICA IS RECORD COLLECTORS DREAM/NIGHTMARE . BROADCAST LIVE FROM THE MANLEY AIRPORT TUFF GONG STORE BY DJMGG.

label: NNA Tapes Has A Lot Going On

Nu-Batch

NNA Tapes has been going HAM for a while, but their last two batches have been, to be blunt, undeniable. The Burlington,VT label is taking things to the next level with a string of releases that seems to embody the current exp-fuck-synth-diy-whatever-the-kids-want-to-call-it scene. From Dem Hunger alter-ego's to Driphouse to Ponytail's Ken Seeno to the solo debut from Zs psych-SHREDDDDDDDDDDDER Ben Greenberg, aka Hubble, it's hard to not be all like, "Shit, NNA is killing it." Why? Cuz, they are.

And so, here's a little run down of their last few releases. Warning: this is by no means comprehensive, nor representative of the vast NNA catalog, which is growing like black snow in NYC.

Head Boggle- "Unsounds and Domo Live" c35
Toby told me to make sure I listen to this on headphones. I'm going to reiterate that statement right now. Completely fucked, channel phazing. Void of anything that could possible resemble popular song structure, Unsounds is a gurgling beast souped up on prescription ludes. Wonk below.

Head Boggle-crunch saddle MXI by nnatapes

Driphouse "50/50" c24
The ever-prolific Daren Ho slows down again as Driphouse on 50/50– a subtle collection that seems to focus as much on the organic, as it does the synthetic. A deep and brooding collection of light night oscillators and dark cloud forms.

Driphouse-Heavy White by nnatapes

Wanda Group "Bass Urine" c20
Another piece of twisted logic from the Dem Hunger camp, which seemingly only sleeps while falling prey to coma visions in a corporate drug coma. Emphasis on corporate drugs, as the chemical imbalance in this piece is as slimy and uncontrollable as a ride on some Merck & Co., Inc. pills. Alien dub gunk.

Wanda Group-Wetsuit Women by nnatapes

Ken Seeno "Invisible Surfer On An Invisible Wave" c31
Celestial music for the new age....AND THAT AINT SOME STUPID CATCHALL. THIS SHIT IS LEGIT. SO LEGIT, IMA GET AGGRO OVER TRYING TO TELL YOU THAT YOU HAVE TO GET CAUGHT UP IN THIS. LET YR BRAIN MLLW. SUCK IT IN. DO NOT EXHALE UNTIL YR LUNG CAPACITY HAS IMPLODED AND YOU ARE LEFT BREATHLESS. THEN...RELEASE.

Ken Seeno-Driving into Light/Blustery Day by nnatapes

Hubble "Hubble Linger" c61

Mind control from Zs psychic shredder Ben Greenberg, whose Hubble project is a massive fret-burning collecting of meteor-cruisers. Do not miss Hubble live. Srsly. Do not miss him live.

video: Laurel Halo "Diazeugma"

MAX/MSP


Laurel Halo's excursions into various digital formats has been exciting to watch unfold. While her debut EP on Hippos in Tanks is a highly focused work of "synth-pop," for lack of a better word, her meanderings in other mediums, and her live shows, showcase an artist unafraid to improv, no matter what the format. I recently caught her at Pianos and it was a pleasure to hear her go to the midi-house castle– ditching any predilection for "pop", and going straight for the back alley clubs of her native Michigan.

While "Diazeugma" isn't an ode to Carl Craig, it does find Laurel messing with digital editing tools and in doing so, creating a wash of rhythmic interplay suitable for fucking with first time DXM experimentalists.

The video for "Diazeugma" can be found on The Report V.II. In addition, the tune will appear on a forthcoming NNA tapes release. More on those cats in a bit.
