WatchWymond Miles - Pale Moon
Sophomore solo release from the lead guitar player in San Francisco’s The Fresh & Onlys
Sacred Bones:
While never overtly attempting to address his influences, the listener can hear a bit of Go-Betweens, Echo & the Bunnymen, Nick Cave, Nikki Sudden and The Cure present in his work. Miles creates a big romantic pop record reminiscent of Roxy Music at the...

WatchAlice Cohen - Cascading Keys
Previously Alice Cohen on Feast of Beast
The first new release off Old English Spelling Bee in 18 months, just in time to knock your socks off. Those haunting snyths immediately drew me in, and once the vocals to match come in, the deal has been sealed. I am in love with this one, as I play it through a forth time in a row. I recognized the name from a now...

WatchSummer Camp - Life
Total double song post on the new Summer Camp 12” on the way, but as I have been obsessed with these two forever rescind my apology. This second single sent courtesy of Moshi Moshi is track one from their Always EP, to be released on Ltd colored 12” vinyl on July 9th. I was searching futilely for a pre-order link to this supposed colored vinyl, and had just...

WatchFear of Men - Born
Totally psyched to see the b-side to the upcoming Fear of Men 7” drop today. With only 2 stupid Ltd cassettes (50 each) and once 7” before this one, they seem to have proven their merit to accompany Best Coast on tour in the UK, as well as a show with Purity Ring.
Seriously my most anticipated full length of 2012 is Fear of Men. It was last year too, so lets...

WatchSIC - Thought Noises
Another favorite 80s underground resurrection from Dark Entries, check it out:
Dark Entries is proud to shed light on underground Belgian New Wave pioneers, SIC, with the career-spanning release “Thought Noises.” SIC were a post-punk band from the industrial city of Charleroi in the francophone part of Belgium. They were formed by Francis Pourcel, Alain Neffe (Bene...

WatchVocoder - Cuadro Sinóptico EP
So recently I’m trying to order a new record from a French label and the shipping is €12, so all together $37 for the record…I ask them if they have any US distros and volia, Dark Entries. I now have a dangerous new (to me) label that I want everything from immediately. Last time that happened when I first discovered Minimal Wave, it was an expensive...

Watch Sculpture - Elk Cloner
Elk Cloner appears on TOAD BLINKER, a psychophonotropic picture disc LP by music and animation duo, SCULPTURE, Dekorder records, October 2011.
More excellent experimental electonics from Dekorder, this time the sophomore release by audio/visual extraordinaire Sculpture. This is their second psychophonotropic picture disc LP, and with a little bit of strobe magic and/or...

Watch Keith Fullerton Whitman - Generator 2 (Demo Video)
Maybe its the long delayed re-release of Aphex Twin’s Selected Ambient Works Volume II on vinyl or the fact that I dug out my Sculpture Rotary Signal Emitter Picture-Disc LP for some spinning last night, but lately I’ve had my head stuck in experimental electronica of the most modular kind. After giving my Sculpture LP some love, I...

WatchPadang Food Tigers - For Esmé
From the Ready Country Nimbus LP on Bathetic Records. BATH61.
Video by Mark Kuykendall
Comparable to feathers floating in the breeze, this London-based duo (Stephen Lewis and Spencer Grady) make their gentle passage via sublime vignettes to set up residence in pastures new. Theirs is the sound of dirt and cobwebs being swept from the corners of childhood...

WatchFear of Men - Green Sea
Since the Hannah Schygulla Demoscassette I have not been able to get enough of these British kids. I was hoping for a full length last year, but instead was teased with single cassettes and 7”s. This is now officially my most highly anticipated artist of 2012, and with good reason.
Fear of Men - Green Sea 7” SEXBEAT 013 is up for pre-order now from the...
