Last minute show tonight at the Silent Barn featuring a slew of phenomenal experimental solo acts; Nonhorse,Toothache, Toby Aronson and Megafortress. I'll be mixing in tracks in between bands. Expect a mellow exploration of future sounds. Come hang at the Silent Barn tonight from 8 to infinity.
Synth-pop's roots coincided with the rise of the VHS format, along with the pre-auto tracking analog glitches suffered by many an overplayed tape. This subtly warped video meshes perfectly with tooth ache's "Skin", their mutually detuned quality elevating the degradation of William Basinski's Disintegration Loops to modern pop practices (video, mp3, 7"). Maybe it's the drum machine, or the decay'd glam of a hypothetical video shoot at the Church Street Marketplace, but "Skin" is a sci-pop joyride.
NNA Tapes has been documenting the avant scene for a while, with releases by Sun Circle, Caboladies and Harmonizer all under its belt. One of the label's most recent releases is also their most ambitious; an 8 cassette tape box set of Burlington, VT-based artists. Burlington, VT features "a c15 tape from each of the following artists: Greg Davis, Ryan Power, Toby Aronson, A Snake In The Garden, Chubby Wonder, tooth ache., Lawrence Welks & Our Bear To Cross, and Cosmic Matrix. Housed in a large vinyl snapcase with cardstock insert." The super eclectic comp is a testament to the creative juices continually flowing on the shores of Lake Champlain. Greg Davis's "Singing Image of Water Moon", tooth ache.'s "Eurydice" and Toby Aronson's "Picnic Point" are all exceptional tracks that speak volumes about Burlington's effervescent scene, which is always bubbling neath the surface.
