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

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.

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:

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.

NNA024: Hubble "Hubble Linger" [sample] by nnatapes

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.

TCC016 | Airbird/Megafortress Split

SPLIT


Airbird/Megafortress C30 Split - TCC016
****art by Megazord****

Old skool buds team up to populate this C30 chromatic tape in various synthetic forms.

Airbird (aka Joel Ford of Games) brings big beats and piano house over transposed vox on jams like "Part of the Game" and "King for the Night", while "Somewhere in a Field" dwells in galactic gurgles and satellite field recordings. It's all encompassing, and I didn't even mention that he also tries on the Beach Boys "Surfer Girl." Airbird going H.A.M right now. #watchout

Listen to "Part of the Game"

Side B is a mythic region inhabited solely by Bill Gillim, the lone proprietor of the Megafortress. Over four movements, Gillim zones in on the internal chaos, harvesting tones from a DX-7 in the midst of the night. "Allelujah" is a hybrid journey into a prophetic digital gospel, while "Mega Fortress IV" showcases Gillim's way with an EWI and VE-20. Pretty much just waiting for Kanye to jack a Megafortress vox samp at this point. Oh yeah, and if you haven't seen his video for Freedom From Fear, watch it now. It's not on the tape, but it's striking, and an excellent example of where Megafortress is heading...I think?

TCC015 | Flower Orgy

Red Hook

Supremely damaged hippie folk from Redhook's Flower Orgy, a fried concoction blended to distressed warmth over a few months on the southern tip of BK. The 4-some retreated to the woods of VT this past autumn and tracked this off-handed tape– a travellogue from a lost (or…found?) weekend in the woods. First release by this shambolic singers who meandered out of Bennington, VT a 'lil while back, includes an outstretched cover of Exuma's "22nd Century."

new: Pure X Chain Reflection 12"

SMOKE


In advance of their highly awaited debut, Pure X (formerly Pure Ecstasy) are back with a self-released 12" of "free form jams and protoversions of songs from" their forthcoming full-length. Initially released as a West Coast tour tape (long sold out), the session finds the Austin trio honing in on the loose framework of their early Future Nostalgia tape, expanding on its immense minimalism, while focusing on movements and haunting tones, rather than structure and form. Consider it modal music for the hazy-minded and a major precursor to their debut.

Grip the "smoke" colored Chain Reflection 12" here.

new: Boy Friend

Christa & Sarah
New crystalline tunes from Christa & Sarah formerly of Sleep Over. The new project is Boy Friend. Barely scratched the surface so far, but heavily going in on these 4 tunes, which seem to cosmically interline with the current white washed status of the City. A gem*star of an EP on 1st listen from what I can tell.



In other Austin news, Sleep Over have a bunch of new stuff in the works, including some gem stars on TCC. Stay tuned.

new: Sun Araw "Thrasher" (Neil Young cover)

The Woods

Director Matthew Lessner's The Woods (which was successfully funded on Kickstarter, and will premier at Sundance this year) is the story of a group of young revelers seeking to disconnect from modern society and sojourn in a new sylvan homestead. At the heart of the film are bourgeois values and technology, how they interplay and what happens when young people try to subvert them. Fitting then that Los Angeleno and dark dub warrior Sun Araw contributes this cyborg-morphic cover of Neil Young's "Thrasher." (Originally, Sun Araw was supposed to score the entire film, though in the end the soundtrack features tunes by Dirty Projectors, Lucky Dragons and more.) Dense grooves from the west coast. Indulge below.

video: Edie Sedgwick "Robert Downey Jr."

Fuck Warhol


No, not that Edie Sedgwick - this Edie Sedgwick.

You see, this Edie Sedgwick "is the transgendered reincarnation of a vacuous Andy Warhol Superstar who died of a barbiturate overdose in 1971."

The dysmorphic brainchild of one Justin Moyer, this li’l Edie pens cheap electroclash odes to celebrities both list-A and D, both dead or alive: Britney, Paris; Rob Lowe, Christian Slater; John Candy, O.D.B. And when ze succeeds, hir 8-bit paens inevitably end up saying something profound about that cult of personality to which our society so desperately flings. But even when sie fails, hir panegyrics are just so goddamn catchy that it doesn't right matter.

Who knows? It could all be one hilarious inside joke, with Moyer's tongue planted as firmly in his whisker-rouged cheek as his cock's duct-taped to his ass. After all, Moyer lives in Washington, D.C. and most of his records are put out by the notoriously harDCore institutions there like Dischord and DeSoto.

At any rate, it's hard indeed to imagine Ian MacKaye or J. Robbins releasing anything not sopping with integrity and earnestness. And Moyer's been playing this type of zombie dress-up since his 2001 long player First Reflections.

All about happy accidents, and a major thanks to DJ rupture for this one. The globe traveling producer and audio-scholar just happened to tape the first three hours of 2k11 on NYC's most infamous hip-hop sanctuary, Hot 97. An absolutely fascinating, enlightening and banging look at where hip-hop stands as we start a new year. An essential field recording from the crux of the digital world.
