Rolling Psych/Drone/Freak Thread 2010

Just finally getting it going here...

I've lately sort of returned to this genre after many years away from it, occupied with other things. In the last two weeks I bought 09 albums from White Rainbow, Emeralds, and Mountains, along with Klaus Shulze's first album and a few other things along those lines. I feel born again.

A healthy start. Anything Adam Forkner does always turns out well.

Feelin Pumice.. All of it

yeah I bought that '09 White Rainbow record in Arcata right after xmas and listened to it on the impossibly gorgeous drive up the coast and through the forest to Grant's Pass. it fit right in.

sleeve are you nw?

yeah eugene oregon

The CD that accompanies the (fantastic) new book by Graham Lambkin is off to a promising start.. we're at about a minute and a half in and it's all been droning choir so far. loving t.

the entire cd is a loop of the droning choir. it's very soothing and endlessly listenable. the track is only fifteen minutes long. put it twice on each side of a 60 minute cassette and set it to auto-flip.

Really enjoying the Sundog Peacehouse tape on Digitalis. All of which is available free on their website: http://sundogpeacehouse.com/music/

Blissout drones of the highest order.

From the label: "Sundog Peacehouse are Chris Mucci, Sal Farina and Austin Redwood and will soon be taking over their native Pittsburgh by lulling everyone into a codeine coma. Shimmering walls of heavily-processed vocals, guitars and samples ease you down into emerald green pools of total bliss. Pure waves of spiralling sonics drench you and hold you close. there is something so unbelievably comforting about this music"

In the last two weeks I bought 09 albums from White Rainbow, Emeralds, and Mountains

I picked up the Emeralds one (which is predictably awesome). Still need to get White Rainbow into my hands, been anticipating that one for a while... not sure how I missed it last year.

Wooden Shjips Vol.2 out very soon i see.

mixture of excitement/sadness for Jack Rose's upcoming Thrill Jockey record ...

jack's gonna be like tupac.

mentioned it on the noise threead, the new (last) yellow swans album is a pothead's delight.

and more psych/drone/freak than noise anyway.

Time-Lag's reish of the Stephen David Heitkotter album is going to blow away a good chunk of new releases this year..

I tuned out of MV/EE for a while, but it looks like this Willie Lane dude plays with them on occasion, this 7" on Cord-Art is in a similar vein as the more simple, cosmic-sounding COM releases. and i thought i recognised the name, and then I remember it's cause he got a shout in the the latest Graham Lambkin CD. not the one with the book, which is rather hypnotic, yes.

(total incoherence. eating and typing.)

i'm looking forward to the heitkotter reissue, it's an interesting record to say the least

way late on this, kurt vile + the violators "hunchback" is great. do they have other stuff out?

almost sounds like george brigman?!

jack's gonna be like tupac.

the good songs on God Is Saying This to You (My Sympathy, My Best Friends) are great, but I think constant hitmaker is easier to listen to all the way through. I think he's got more stuff than that but I haven't heard it.

Wooden Shjips Vol.2 out very soon i see.

Was not aware of this. Very good news.

Just got the new Oneida tape (it's Oneida, make no mistake), and am really looking forward to the new Magic Lantern, Platoon.

just have a feeling that people will be clamoring to put out any/all unreleased/live/etc stuff. cuz that's what happens.

when i go, there's gonna be A LOT of unreleased material -- talking about shopping lists, unfinished marketing reports, rare e-vites ... the archives, you know?

I just spent like 15 seconds looking for the second disc of the new Skullflower album to put back in its case, before I realised it was still playing. I think this is a compliment. It is totally consuming and blown out. It just finished now and I feel altered

Am loving the White Rainbow record. The more ambient stretches are beautiful, something about it kind of makes me think of a synthier FSA or something. Do I need to go and check out Yume Bitsu?

i bought a yume bitsu album once! i think it was even a double album. didn't like it much.

Anyone heard the new Major Stars yet?

Not yet. they're playing a show in brooklyn real soon though. I think they're still got whatshername singing for them?

yeah she's hot

need to hear the new one. rapidshare doesn't cooperate

I spoke with Sadhu Sadhu's Johnny Miller, a few days ago. Was part of an awesome show with Plastic Crimewave Sound, Dark Fog, and assorted others. He promised an LP, this year. His solo record is pretty fantastic, too. Anybody else familiar with this guy (also of Cloud Temple)?

lovin the ichiyanagi/ranta/kosugi improvisation 75 reissue on phoenix

The final Yellow Swans album Going Places = major traet. Reminds me of prime Flying Saucer Attack without really sounding like it.

Do you guys remember Psychic Ills? What ever happened to them?

Psychic Ills were touring a few months ago, weren't they? I think that they're still active.

my estimation of the yellow swans disc has gone down several notches since i got it. when i first played it loud it sounded cool to me, but then i played it more thinking i was gonna write it up for my noise column and i was really underwhelmed. it never really goes anywhere exciting. its minimal in a lazy way. its like they arbitrarily just end the songs at a certain point cuz, um, they have to end eventually. definite shoegaze buzz and i can hear the fsa-ness of the sounds, but in the end, there are a zillion beedroom noize dudes who could do this kind of thing in their sleep. i ended up not writing about it. wrote about - among other things - a guy who calls himself Pus Drainer, who puts out way deeper, darker, and more psychedelic electronoize. and you won't be reading about him on Dusted website anytime soon.

that would be "bedroom". although i have heard some good "bee room" noise. and "bead room" noise has possibilities.

Mmm bee rooms. It's true that the album is one of many in the vein, but it's done very nicely to my ears, as if after all the 'are we chaotic or are we droney and nice' stuff they'd done in the past they decided to end on a reasonable fusion of the two.

Now this Pus Drainer feller sounds worthy.

Woah, the new Yellow Swans on Type is blowing my mind this morning.

I was extremely excited about the Grouper/Roy Montgomery split, though it proved pretty impossible to get on record. Does anyone know about new Roy Montgomery material?

I would love new Roy Montgomery! The track on that split seems to be a live version of an old track, which is a bit disappointing, but I didn't even know he was playing live any more, so that's good news. Seconding the request for more info.

Seems that Grouper/Montgomery split pretty much sold out on preorders from her mailing list. Would've liked one myself (not heard it - boomkat has mp3/flac version for sale which I may buy later). Still wish I'd managed to pick up the Grouper/City Center split 7".

(On a side grumble, Boomkat has it tagged as "dark ambient / drone / metal". Is post-Sunn doom's co-optation of the word "drone" now so complete that we have to pretend all previous forms of music known as "drone" are metal-related?)

Anyone else heard the new Steve Gunn LP on Three Lobed? A lot better than the CD that came out on Digitalis awhile back, if you ask me. Serious jams.

Seems that Grouper/Montgomery split pretty much sold out on preorders from her mailing list. Would've liked one myself (not heard it - boomkat has mp3/flac version for sale which I may buy later)

Reason enough to follow the Aquarius Records twitter stream, they'll announce super limited editions before they hit the catalog updates. (that's how I got my copy)

new growing video. you guys dig them don't you:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2HQmRAX4No

Yup.

Very nice.

I think that fits this thread? apologies if not.

the heitkotter reissue is out:

http://www.time-lagrecords.com/shop/products-page/catalog/

HEITKOTTER, STEPHEN DAVID ~ HEITKOTTER ~ lp (TIME-LAG 052)

fully licensed legit deluxe reissue of this completely unique slab of outsider private press psychedelia. long whispered about by the most inner circle of obsessive psych collectors, but up till now heard only by a lucky few. a true legend for sure, and rightfully so, as the bizarre story surrounding the lp is nearly as twisted as the music itself. ex-road runners drummer stephen david heitkotter recorded and pressed the lp in california sometime before 1971 as a demo only edition of no more then two dozen copies in blank white covers, then distributed it only to a handful of local san joaquin radio stations before the pressing plant destroyed the masters due to non-payment. within months of his failed attempt at radio stardom stephen was committed to the state mental ward, and that was that… but what an album he left behind… deeply damaged outsider/real people westcoast basement loner acid-garage-blues from a genuinely insane person, recorded at the very edge of oblivion. the sound of a last gasp at the teetering edge of the darkest void. a murky disjointed trip wobbling between acid-scorched un-reality and pure all-encompasing blankness… full electric band setting, but whether this was a purely solo endeavor or an actual band recording will remain a mystery forever. those close to stephen at the time swear he was already too far gone to assemble even a jam session, so the solo theory seems likely, making the musical deconstruction meltdown that much more disturbing. semi-tight playing disintegrates into meandering sonic smear at every turn, then somehow resolidifies and churns onward while bent deadpan vocals funnel garbled surrealisms from nowhere to nowhere. the scarily hyper-real yet ultra-weird otherworldly presence is as thick as it comes, and only enhanced by the raw/crude/muffled recording fidelity… not recommended for the weak of heart… co-released with earmonger records. mastered from the best possible original copy and pressed on 180gm audiophile vinyl. exact reproduction labels, including some wild hand embellishment from the man himself. heavy blank white 60s style art paper covers with hand stamped title. heavy insert with extensive liner notes. one time vinyl only limited edition of 1000 copies. no cd, no repress.

Man that sounds...intense.

New project from the Velvet Cacoon mainman here: http://claircassis.muxtape.com/

Re: Heitkotter. Not sure if that's an essential purchase for all, or whatever, but it's definitely an essential listen. Totally fried record. Just...gone. Don't know how else to describe it. Very demo-sounding, damaged, random shit. Often very like a (sometimes remarkably) less professional "The Return of the Son of Monster Magnet." Freak music, for sure.

not sure if it was mentioned on the previous thread or not, but the twinkranes album is very very good. brings cave to mind, though a bit heavier perhaps..

Love the Infinite Body LP on PPM: http://bit.ly/aVSGVT

And the glistening guitar drones of Sam Goldberg's new LP on Weird Forest are also doing it for me: bit.ly/bnk8Xd

That last link should be: http://bit.ly/bnk8Xd

jerusalem & the starbaskets - battle of the orchids LP is out now. i haven't heard it yet, but if it's in any way a progression from 'the howling' it will be one of the LPs of the year.

That's out, huh? Wonder when the band will get one.

If you're looking for the progression from The Howling, electricsound, you're going to want to get this. Battle of the Orchid was actually recorded before the Howling.

really?? wonder why it took so long to come out? am ordering that 45 right now, thanks!!

cool song! the one on that link. okay, now i know who these people are. i learn something new every day.

I love Growing but that video is weak, especially compared to the new Erykah Badu video, which should probably be on this thread for the Psych and Freak elements: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsBjvjqjCwA

anyone know if Indian Jewelry has plans for a 2010 release?

The new Jonas Reinhardt disc on Kranky might as well be on the beardo disco thread as well -- though not much in the way of full-on drumming or disco pulse, it's definitely as close a tribute to late seventies Ash Ra Tempel as has come out yet and could easily be an alternate world soundtrack to the original Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio series.

Wow, the new Mako Sica record, Dual Horizon, is AWESOME. Dig the cover, too. Gorgeous, not unlike the tunes.

http://www.la-soc.com/images/dual_horizon_wb.jpg

that lambkin sounds like it's rad! i like that white rainbow record a lot, and have been responding yes to my buddy's facebook invitations to jonas reinhardt shows for a while. i know i gotta go to one!

I had no clue where to post this as there is no brazilian psych thread. Anyways this comp is insanely good.

ince ore- what am i missing? picked up a couple of things, (ones with grouper) but i cant see the fuss

I don't get it, either. I firmly believe there's nothing worthy of any more than moderate--very moderate--praise or enthusiasm. Diff'rent strokes, right?

Same opinion here... I like the Inca Ore/Grouper split just fine, but the Grouper side is leaps and bounds awesomer to my ears.

Is this the place to mention the Teeth of the Sea: Hypnoticon ep?

Synth heavy prog cover of the flash gordon soundtrack with the B side a 11 minute nautical ambient jam.

really don't like growing, seems to represent everything weak and generic about this genre

anyone know if Indian Jewelry has plans for a 2010 release?

TOTALED, new album by Indian Jewelry
available April 27 via We Are Free Records.

xp i liked the first growing set i saw in 2004 but then the second one was like BOOORRRRRING

anyone heard DEAD LUKE? incredible!

And back from Echo Curio with a triple bill of Zaimph, Stellar Om Force, and Pacific City Nightlife Vision Band. Zaimph pretty terrific - solo project of Marcia from Hototogisu/Double Leopards. Stellar Om Force 100% KOSMISCHE - bought all three CDs immediately afterward.

Sadly I think this was the end of the tour, but please check 'em out anyway.

Pac Nite Life has been practicing in the basement here (roomates) and the jams have been Raaad

Dug them too... Are those keyboards just circuit-bent to all hell? I couldn't ID what the hell was making which sound.

far as i can gather yeah, maybe? dunno any for certain specs. the group vibe of it is definitely pretty killer though in an all parts getting on as one kind of way

Really enjoyed an in-store I saw by William Nowik, whose "Pan Symphony in E Minor" (private press from from 1974) was just reissued. He is the real deal -- spent several years in Afghanistan during the war, playing in places where you have to check your machine gun at the door. He definitely follows his muse.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGPRSNgakAQ&feature=related

That Nowik record isn't getting the respect it deserves. I dunno, feels like a lot of dudes hated it that I would expect to love it.

never heard of him. seems pretty awesome

thank you for your kind words - if you give me an address 'll send you a free cd and a liited signed and numbered vinly record - cheers

He was a rip. He explained that he had been convicted by a jury of peers for his poor wah-wah playing on that '74 record, and that this show was his penance. He played barefoot on a rug, with more effects boxes splayed out in front of him than I'd ever seen. He also made effective use of an analog tape loop. Played great slide. And wah-wah. He also told some neat stories about his years in Afghanistan.

loving "forge your own chains" psych dirges and ballads 68-74 even though it came out last year.

Folks this new Eleh album on Touch is destroying my coherence:

i got a vinyl-only eleh thing in the mail. on touch. actually, i think it was a split lp. didn't stun me exactly. ultra-minimal.

Yeah that was the release before this new one. I think feeling the bass through my desk was the key thing with that!

new Eleh album on Touch

Want to hear this badly, but I can't seem to find it locally anyplace.

New Eleh album reminds me of the sounds I'd fart around with on my cheesy Yamaha synthesizer in the 90s. Resonance knob rules!

I just spent like 15 seconds looking for the second disc of the new Skullflower album to put back in its case, before I realised it was still playing. I think this is a compliment. It is totally consuming and blown out. It just finished now and I feel altered

Echoing the Skullflower love. I picked this up a few days ago and it's turning my head inside out.

side project of (SF band)Kowloon Walled City - they love their bottom-heavy riffs and are seriously funny **cks. i mean you do want to find out what happens to the Yeti, Man-goat, and skunk-ape, dontcha?

i dig these forest swords jams. dubby guitar and vocal sample psych.
http://ravensingstheblues.blogspot.com/2010/03/forest-swords.html

vibracathedral orchestra has three (3) new lps out?!

That's all?

Wet Hair and Rene Hell are playing a local show tonight.

Wet Hair rules. They're a side project to some other group right?

Wet Hair is what happened after Raccoo-oo-oon broke up, if I'm not mistaken.

yah two of the dudes. I have heard some records but haven't seen them live.
I saw Raccooooooon once and they were really good, the recordings were a let down. Then they broke up.

Rene Hell was frigging brilliant opening the show last night.
Wet Hair were a little underwhelming, but I bought a few things from them since homeboy has a sweet psych drone underground diy label.
Plastic Crimewave played, too, and they were actually the hit of the night.
Got a new Yonker's thing from them, something "golden" something, can't remember the title. It's from '77. Excited.

Lovely Gold...? Crimewave can put on a hell of a show, for sure.

Sure, that sounds right. Haven't listened to it yet. Feeling a little worse for the wear after the monday night psych-out, tbh.

Folks I don't make these claims lightly, but Ojos Rojos are outright RULING my world right now. Amazing show last night with them, Quarter After + Matt Tow, Chief Nowhere (amazing!), and Federale (brilliant!)

Ojos Rojos are from Claremont and are the answer to this equation: ( Loop x Bailter Space ) / Ride

Hey, they're pretty good.

I've been digging Bernardino Femminielli, total kosmische synthesizer stuff. Or like Berlin school. I don't know, you tell me, dudes.

http://www.myspace.com/bernardinofemminielli

Actually his new tape is kinda Cluster-y, now that I think about it.

http://www.vancooten.com/blog/images/to79.jpg

http://www.lassemarhaug.no/picadisk/images/pica013.jpg

liking both of these so far

I haven't heard any recent Conrad stuff... he did a record with Tovah Olsen (sp?) and that seemed really exciting but I was warned away by someone who was selling it.

This sounds right up my street. Have just ordered the tape from Hobo Cult along with the Panabrite / Hobo Cubes split. Thanks for the heads up.

In other news, Fennesz has a new tape out which I can't imagine will stick around for long:

Did Rangda (Bishop/Chasny/Corsano) have their own thread? Either way their album is superb on initial listen

there is a thread, yeah. didn't realise the album was already available though!

haha what you're not taken by this glowing review?? (bolding is mine)

YES!!! Finally!! Angus and Bon Scott would def label this knockout collab as grade A T-N-T!!! Here's how it went down: The Machines were kicking it Brooklyn style last January for some jam time with Burning Sess Core, and the Tovinator had a solo slot in Glasslands on Super Bowl Sunday. Seeing how we both were worked up from the Pitts power plays and amazing Puck and Queen B quality time, Thurston added fuel to the fire and suggested that Conrad hit the stage with Tovah. Seeing how Tony only had his pajamas and an rusty old auto harp in tow, the aural jam scape was destined to be stripped down and tense. So here are the results!! Tovah on tin can 'voice,' tapes, and the sheet metal/spring 'mailbox' sculpture and Tony on unprocessed auto harp. No drone sound in sight, just a clanging, echoed, tangled sharp barbed nasty JAM. Super duper, like nothing else in either discography. Could be seen as a celebration in real time to the STEELERS, with STEEL and STRINGS. Amazing!!!! Edition of 200 in super weird covers, hand numbered.

the conrad/charlemagne palestine release from a year or two ago is great though if you haven't heard it

Rangda is out in like 6 weeks I think - I got a promo. They are playing a little church near me at the start of June too, I'm really pleased about that

Ooooh... do you know anything about other dates?

oh man so psyched about the Rangda, I started that thread.

can anybody rep for the recent Ultra Eczema releases? Preggy Peggy? Glands of External Secretion? Noise Nomads? or any of the various outsider Belgian dude recs? i always deliberate on these until just too late.

xxp http://www.last.fm/music/Rangda/+events - presumably the date gaps are to be filled shortly (June 2 is the one near me tho not listed yet)

dang, i hope they play the US!

haha what you're not taken by this glowing review?? (bolding is mine)

That I actually read AFTER I was warned away from it, which just confirmed my opinion. I'll have to look out for the thing with Palestine.

Hey, does the Ramleh reissue "Hole in the Heart" go in this thread or noise? Cause it's pretty dronin', sometimes it sounds like A.R. Kane through heaps of distortion, other times it's definitely noise. It's really nice!

also loving the Bernardino Femminielli material. thanks for the heads-up.

i like it too. is he only putting out tapes and ffs why in this day and age

Suspect the answer may in be the last four words of your post tbh

"And"?

whoa awesome! gotta hit that.

i suggest you all listen to the album by the psychedelic Schafferson Jetplane.

http://www.myspace.com/schaffersonjetplane

they are from chile.

they have a song called "in margaritas with david icke."

Hahahah brilliant. The new Reynols. (Well, maybe not.)

you know, i gave the new live ambarchi/o'rourke/haino disc a pretty positive write-up in my column, but playing it again...i dunno. just feel like these guys could put out a cd a day of this kinda stuff. um, so i guess that means i wouldn't recommend it. i like keiji's vocals though. like a strange tiny angel...

Hahah I was literally just listening to that album. Pretty much have to agree with your take...

If you have only heard comments on the new Chilean psychedelic underground, this is your chance to catch up. A brand new LP is out on Pastabase.

Under the Schafferson Jetplane moniker, ex La Banda?s and Cindy Sisters members push things much further out.

Wow, the new Mako Sica record, Dual Horizon, is AWESOME. Dig the cover, too. Gorgeous, not unlike the tunes.

I just got round to listening to this after downloading a few La Société Expéditionnaire releases from eMusic. It's excellent.

Streaming here, for anyone interested: http://bit.ly/c47iC2

"Basically Mako Sica sound like the more recent Dead Man Soundtrack-style Earth, if Earth were a Not Not Fun band".

New Emeralds is nice, kind of new age.
The song "Diotima" starts off sounding like tha Moby song used at the end of the movie HEAT.

New Emeralds is nice, kind of new age

The new Editions Mego one?

Did you hear a review copy?

Naw, it's a Hanson thing. Maybe it isn't new?

this gets really good by the third track

I like the new Sun Araw album.

I never quite warmed to Sun Araw. I might give the new one listen.

I like Sun Araw, but I need more time with the new one. Only heard it once. The last one, Heavy Deeds was very good.

new keith fullerton whitman 7" ("losing everything (edit) b/w four oscillators reverb nice (edit)") is reeeeeeal nice.

it's from a pressing of 25 (!!!) and is, uh, expensive. but the whole thing is streaming on kfw's store right here:

can anyone figure out what the music is in this video??

man this Sun Araw album is killing me. i listened to it like 3 times in a row.

what is the context for this stuff? I know he does Not Not Fun but is there a larger scene or contemporaries that could be associated with this sound

He is (was?) in the band Magic Lantern iirc.

Yeah NNF is releasing the last Magic Lantern lp.

I like Moon Duo, Wooden Shjips, Sylvester Anfang, Starving Weirdos, Gnaw Their Tongues & Vluba - all of which have noteworthy recent releases. Not sure if its quite fit for the thread, but I'm thriving on Dead Luke & Jerusalem & the Starbaskets too.

Oh yeah!: Sun Araw also.

Jerusalem & the Starbaskets

can't get enough of the latest lp + 45. another lp coming up on de stijl too!

i now see that a new Bugskull LP sneaked out last year. 300 copies. didn't see this listed anywhere at the time. must track it down...

Haha, Magic Lantern covered "Showstopper" by Iron Knowledge. Dunno if that was a good idea bros, but it's alright.

^^^
I'm behind it. Sounds pretty solid, I say. LP's pretty good, too.

anyone hear the clang sayne album? promo blurbs total hepcat bait:

"Imagine Tim Buckley’s Starsailor and Lorca band with Julie Tippetts channeling Tim’s drama and languor; imagine Beth Gibbons backed by Comus featuring Blixa Bargeld on guitar; imagine Sandy Denny at her most fervent joining the sessions for Mark Hollis’ solo record…"

jesus hyperbolic namedrop overdose

why should i buy or listen to music if i can just imagine it

i went to their myspace and listened. didn't thrill me. the music didn't anyway. her voice is okay, i guess.

new emeralds thing on mego is pretty cool but i think it would be even better after some sour diesel. wait till the kids are asleep...

even more my speed is the new FNS (fredrik ness sevendal) album on miasmah. mmmmmmm good. if you like your psych deep and dark and rich you will like this.

i dig this!

http://www.forcedexposure.com/artists/meltaot.souls.on.board.html

especially the bruce gilbert/souls on board side.

the emeralds is good. like the sun araw too, excellent cover

http://www.roadburn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Sun-Araw-On-Patrol.jpg

Yeah most of his covers are cool. the ones with Stevie W. and O.V. Wright on them = super cool

I 2nd the Meltaot. I've also been impressed by Dignan Porch, Part Wild Horses Mane on Both Sides, Aan, and Queen Elephantine.

New Birds of Maya is epic, kids. Ready to Howl. Out via TestosterTunes. Get on that shit.

psychedelic schafferson jetplane sound really good just what I've heard on their myspace, can you order their LP online?

the emeralds album is awful, however did they get a rep in such a crowded field

the previous album was better but still......

Yep - Roger beat me to Psychedelic Schafferson Jetplane. VERY sweet fuzzy drony goodness. I'd also like to put in a good word for My Cat Is An Alien.

vain_bowers, if you want to order a copy of the Jetplane LP you can email academymailorder at gmail dotcom, and we should be able to help you out.

can anyone lend a hand IDing something from a description for me? ( record store guys didn't know / couldn't be bothered ). like musica transonic with vocals or like comets on fire with no sax or echoplex & more guitar twankling. or maybe like if tia carrera put out a record on estrus and then you play it on 78 ! any ideas much appreciated !

thanks Ian!

bob snoom, could it be the new Birds of Maya album?

So, there is a new Emeralds release? I'm confused.

it's a mix of previously released stuff and new stuff? i think? the mego thing. i might have read that wrong though. i have a short attention span when it comes to "information".

really like the self-titled emeralds lp and solar bridge. will be checking this one out.

the psychedelic schafferon jetplane lp is under a pastabase label

http://www.myspace.com/pastabaserecs

too bad the lp isn't pasta-based. getting kinda hungry right about now.

who loves barn owl

god these guys are good

Yay Barn Owl

Always liked Elm more.

Anyone listening to the Messages album on De Stijl? That label is pretty hit or miss, but that record is pretty great.

Yeah, I quite like the Messages album!

Not new for 2010, but I just received a pretty big order from Time Lag Records (http://www.time-lagrecords.com) -- Fursaxa, Yellow Swans, Hototogisu, Robedoor, RACCOO-OO-OON, and a couple others I'm forgetting.

Just now starting to dig deep into these, but so far, so good.

That's a fine Time-Lag order! Great rekkid store & a great label too.

Psychedelic Schafferson Jetplane arrived yesterday thanks to some recommendations on here, love it, there's a noise from a pneumatic drill in the background of one of the tracks that's strangely relaxing

Heard something from whatever the newest Emeralds album is (something newer than What Happened, I take it) - I liked it a lot more than the What Happened material.

I like the Emeralds s/t more and more, actually. The epic side-long track at the end is great.

Yeah, the new Emeralds gets better after each listen. It's very good.

love the s/t emeralds lp! still have to listen to the new one on mego.

tho I really didn't care for his solo acoustic lp, the new mark mcguire (from emeralds) tape the invisible world is v. nice. repetitive wah wah builds with clean soloing on top. definitely hits the ashra pleasure center for me.

new emeralds on Mego is yummmm very good, especially the longer pieces.

stil...nothing beats Allegory to Allergies

Greetings! You can find information how to order Schafferson Jetplane LP form us:

Best!

listened to the new emeralds. man, these guys are getting slicker and slicker. I could easily see mistaking much of it for a 70s new age album.

I liked it tho. but I would.

I read a recent interview with McGuire, and he said that all he does is practice and records music. Constantly making music. I mean look at how many tapes this guy makes in a year. It's insane. So yeah, I think they are getting better too. Plus they are so f'ing young!

Barn Owl is playing @ Grace Cathedral w/ Daniel Higgs a week from Satruday. Def. going.

mark mcguire “the invisible world” c30 cassette

^^ digging the samples of this

i've changed my mind YET AGAIN about the emeralds on mego. now i like it more. guess it depends on my mood. it IS mood music.

I'm grinning with satisfacion over the Carlton Melton trax I've heard. Raspy droneblues goodness. Most pleasing effect on the ganglia.

New Carlton Melton split is killer, yo.

Ya, truly. I'm thriving.

You hip to the LP and live CD-R? Both fantastic.

mark mcguire "the invisible world" c30 cassette

This is totally Achim Reichel-level echo-guitar awesomeness.

yeah, I've listened like 10 times over the last few days. it rules.

Listened to the new Carlton Melton album this morning - good and raw but I found it dificult to maintain attention over like 73 minutes, tho I realise this is slightly missing the point of a band honouring the fire of Hawkwind and Amon Duul or whoever

Carlton Melton has a 73-minute album? Isn't their new release a split?

new Indian Jewelry album is out, unfortunately it's another two months until the vinyl release.

I am excited for this new Daniel Higgs album - I saw him live a couple of months ago (in a depressingly empty room in D.C.) and the new songs (some of which I recognize by title on the tracklisting of "Say God") were awesome. Has anyone heard it? How does it compare to his other stuff?

Just ordered a copy, last night. Haven't heard it, though.

its not good imo. i saw him perform the stuff live and had to move to the back to try to escape it

Ha... give me some context, though - do you like his other stuff? Lungfish?

o yeah lungfish and his other solo stuff and zomes i like. this was just... him with some pocket accordion (?) thing on his lap and he was saying "holy bible time" over and over for 20 min. there were a couple cool moments on the album but otherswise its mostly voice

sounds like you saw him around the same time so you'll probably be into it. this one's just not for me

Not at all! When I saw him he just had a banjo, and he mixed his longer, dronier numbers with some short fragments (the centerpiece was "Hoofprints of the Cieling of Your Mind," and that one included him opening the window of the venue to the Adams Morgan street (it was more of a restaurant then a place to see music) and conversing with various passersby). There were just a handful of people in the crowd (various D.C. legends and a couple of nerdy beard-os) and the show had a nicely informal feel to it.

But some of his solo releases are too distorted and formless for me. I half want the guy to make an album full of two minute pop songs, since he's got an incredible gift for rhythm and melody!

i don't know what that instrument is, its like a wooden box that you open and close and it makes a drone

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2793/4239579531_2d84deb441_o.jpg

Sruti box.

Pardon me, sHruti box.

yup that's it

new Indian Jewelry album is out, unfortunately it's another two months until the vinyl release.

is it any good though? the promo mp3 they sent out ("Totaled") was just ok and I saw Whiney slam the album on 1000TimesYes (called it crappy electropop, say it ain't so)

Keiji Haino did a terrific shruti box recording a while back. But I suppose this is drifting a bit off-topic. Oh, well...

Thanks for the tip on Indian Jewelry.

dmr I have not heard the record yet but based on the split w/Future Blondes from last year I have high hopes.

xp

I'm curious to hear that Indian Jewelry as well

there's gotta be a psych band called Space Mountain, right?

Indian Jewelry album is nothing to write home about, I must say. Hardly terrible, but yeah. It's okay.

xpost - that's off of Free Gold, not the new one (<3 that song)

oops! sorry, I should have known that.

heard some new Social Registry stuff

search - Zs "New Slaves" - dunno how to describe this, groovy repetition that occasionally explodes into wild scree.
destroy - Psychic Ills "Catopric" - I may be done with these dudes, tired of waiting for them to make songs again and not just fuck w. some oscillators and play bongos over it. big fan of "Dins" but they've flopped since then imo

"groovy" probably a stupid word to describe Zs but the opening track is like, chiming overtones and drum patterns and then you get to the title track and there's some harsh violin scrape and wild noise

Mark McGuire - Get Me Out Of Here C30 is the best thing he's done out of all his solo releases. Awesome guitar loops that seem to go on forever into space. Highly recommended listening.

Folks this new Eleh album on Touch is destroying my coherence:

Concur fully w/ this. I finally shelled out for this album and it's really something.

Okay so I was able to catch the Saturday and Sunday afternoons of Bottled Smoke and here's summaries, photos, links etc:

I've been highly grokking Get Tree Behind Me Satan and Cokmok by Vluba. I think the former was released or re-released this year, but it might've been '09. The latter emerged in '07 or so, but what the hell...

Re. Cokmok via Ruralfaune: Vluba's parallel project, the TFCAOV recording is on astral silence. A silence certainly so silently as the sound of the edges of the planet. For this occasion they went to record it to a cave/cavern placed under the "Invisible Mountain" that they constructed and adapted as study of recording several years before the session i last about six night and in the seventh one, under a brilliant moon it was born "cokmok"... This is one of seven magic squares of the planetary geniuses. listening no clothes, no lights, no words and with incenses
-ruralfaune

/\ ^ /\ : a link re. the above: http://www.discogs.com/artist/Vl%C3%BCba+%26+The+First+Cosmosis+Artchestra+On+Vl%C3%BCbaland

this thursday at the flywheel in easthampton. should be great. the cd is rilly good and i dig century plants a ton (also playing PA's lounge in somerville on friday):

Twilight of the Century is a collaboration between Century Plants (Eric Hardiman and Ray Hare of Albany) and rise set twilight (Linda Aubry Bullock and Michael T. Bullock of Boston).

These two shows celebrate the release of Linda Aubry Bullock's new Sedimental CD, Ray of Dark, a project featuring the members of Twilight of the Century.

Century Plants is very good. Should be an interesting show.

Forest Swords. Nurse With Wound meets Ennio Morricone and Jefferson Airplane at Lee Scratch Perry's studio. And they go ahead and throw down.

Extremely lovely if not entirely new -- I think it was released last year -- but Brad Rose's solo Space Dive tape on Digitalis is really, really nice. It's almost his...I hate to say minimal synth album, but it's all overdriven beautiful synth/keyboard/who knows what else murk which has this great half-whispered singing from him. All very lush.

I hadn't checked my mailbox at the radio station in forever. It's rare that I get anything in it, but it happens on occasion.
There was a package from Last Visible Dog sitting in it this week, it's probalby been sitting there since September.
I'm listening to this Crows of the World vol. 2 comp, another in the long line of psych drone noise comps based around a common theme that is really meaningless, and it sounds really nice on this muggy June evening. Haven't listened to much stuff like this in quite a while. The Ashtray Navigations track features some heavy "guitar anti-heroics and 9v battery squeal." Nice contributions from RST, Shelter Death and Renato Rinaldi. There was a full-length from RR in the envelope, too. I wonder if anyone at the station will play this stuff?!

Yeah, I always felt bad that LVD sent stuff to my station... there used to be shows that would play the more out-there stuff, but since I started playing more straight-up psych, the noise guy went metal, and there is no "arcana"/experimental show anymore, well, it just wound up sitting on the shelf.

Hey, I'm Joseph from Weird Ribs. My release may be of interest to a lot of you folks and I've stuck it on mediafire for free download.

It's called Tubes and was released earlier in year, similar to the likes of Growing, Emeralds, Tangerine Dream, Stellar Om Source, Cluster.

Download here http://www.mediafire.com/?juedlbmmmrm

Also got a more recent EP which can be downloaded here: http://www.mediafire.com/?tymlzt2iz4n
Finally while I'm at it, if you want high quality, both are up on bandcamp for free download too http://weirdribs.bandcamp.com/

All the best

we live in a world with a band named BLUE SABBATH BLACK CHEER and a band named BLUE SABBATH BLACK FIJI. come on, kids! there's only room for one! (if that. it's debatable.)

the latter are from scotland.

prefer the former though

the scottish duo is playing near me with sunburned hand of the man. the only reason i am aware of them.

Did anyone order the Parson Sound 3xLP set from Subliminal Sounds? It's kind of spendy

Shit, I had no idea that was even coming out on LP. Thanks for the alert. If those prices include shipping, that's actually not a bad deal. I can't find any information about that, though. It's too expensive, yeah, but all records are. I may need to send out an e-mail.

Parson Sound = majorly great

Yek Koo - I Saw Myself.

Tribal & way over the top. Sounds a bit like Siouxsie Sioux sharing a freakout with Half Japanese and/or The Godz. Then Yoko Ono takes over. Stuff happens.

Psych / Done / Freak newjacks overtaking trendy nu-garage posers in terrible band names department

errr, that's "dRone," obvs

Also, way to add to the glut, "Weird Ribs." Seems to be a shortage of fake Popol Vuh droney shit out there right now. Maybe your next release can be 'hauntology?' How about some 'weird synth shit' inspired by Goblin and John Carpenter soundtracks? Or something with "Beach" in the title? Now that would be cutting fucking edge, my friend.

And thank you for being so desperate to be heard / liked / invited to the cool table that you'll give away your music for 'free.' Way to set precedent. Way to make it even harder for dilettante idiots web-wide to have an even harder time discerning what's real from what's mimicry. Well done.

You seem bitter, did your solo album bomb that badly?

that Pärson Sound is a bit expensive but SO worth it. awesome from start to finish and even better than anything Träd, Gräs & Stenar and the rest of them ever did imo

Is it all the same stuff that's on the 2cd?

the June issue of the Wire magazine had references to "hypnagogic pop" in several articles, that read so awkwardly, it made me wonder if it was edited in, or there was some editorial missive that went out to all the writers to "please use this term that we coined whenever appropriate" ...

If I were James Ferraro, I'd be mad as hell.

^^

sup hypnagogic pop

i dunno, 'hypnagogic pop' coined by d keenan, who has prob sold more cd-rs by james ferraro than any other retailer/crit, so im guessing ferraro (and others) can prob live w/ having an marginally meaningless term afixed to their tunage

come to Pittsburgh - this Saturday - my birthday party with live sets from Daniel Higgs, Zomes, Fursaxa, Sagas and Mike Tamburo... moglocoffee.com for more, cheers

///we live in a world with a band named BLUE SABBATH BLACK CHEER and a band named BLUE SABBATH BLACK FIJI. come on, kids! there's only room for one! (if that. it's debatable.)
the latter are from scotland.///

they are french, but now living in glasgow. they met at a BLACK FOREST BLACK SEA show in paris.

Weird Ribs again. Sorry to offend you, if you're not interested don't listen. But obviously this thread is here because some people have an interest so I'm sharing. It's free because it's a hobby and I don't have the name for myself required to sell some records.
I'm more interested in ambient/field recording and noise, but I slot nicely into the area too, so folk interested in the 'hypnagogic' most likely would be interested in this. Just as folk from electronica or noise boards etc share an interest too.

Can we retire the term "hypnagogic"?

^^^

yes please

Also, I don't want to see it in the title of the rolling 2011 thread next year. An IP ban should be put in place if it is

how about a ban on david keenan?

yes please

Brisbane band Blank Realm live - It's entertainment iirc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ6nenm-eZU

Tony Dale has announced the closure of Camera Obscura.

Aww, bummer. Although I don't think I was aware they were still doing stuff.

the more i play that north sea album by the digitalis guy the more beautiful it sounds to me. its on TYPE. got a new album today on TYPE by two guys who record as ON. you guys probably know who they are. they record music/sounds and then give them to someone to remix. the last album they did with deathprod. the new album they do with fennesz. really lovely. the north sea album is a little darker, but they are both good to blisssssss out to.

real shame about camera obscura, though it has been slowing down for a long time so it doesn't come as any great surprise..

I am merry that Scott likes the Type stuff. They're (well, he's -- it's a one man label run by a Brit named John) about to rerelease the early Thomas Köner albums, can't wait for those.

Very much a bummer about Camera Obscura, but Tony felt it was better to do that now than later given his health, and to wrap up everything as neatly as possible.

scott, whose gear was that?

Jack Callahan. awesome percussionist. he played as a percussion duo with a friend and then played with a horn section and electric bass. very cool. very improv.

noise nomads played that night too and he was working majik with his tibetan prayer bowl. it was just a really good night for interesting sounds.

sounds super dope!

i have a punk show coming up next friday. great metal show in october.

i didn't go see the sunburned/major stars/rangda show the other night. i watched the kids so that maria could go. she had fun. she really liked wayne & kate. so much music coming up around here. TOO much almost.

we all had a great time at the vetiver show that my brother put on in hudson a couple weeks ago. maria and rufus and cyrus and i all went. out friend nina violet opened up and ARP also played. dug arp's action. posted this on the wdyll thread, but there was a picture in this sunday's new york times of me and my brother in law andy at the vetiver show. making me ilx beardo of the month, i believe.

i'm in the middle in the shorts. all wet. it was raining like crazy outside. love that space in hudson. my brother played there with rangda last week. and i love my brother's space in hudson too! so crazy and huge. across from the train station. so many records...

Fursaxa was one of my favorite sets at ATP. Tara is now playing as a trio with Mary Lattimore and Helena Espvall. The set was transfixing and sounded great on the beefy sound system in a decent size room.

i did not go and see noveller last night and i am bummed cuz i heard that she was amazing.

oh and if you dig epic feedback/drone my friend rob just put this out on his sedimental label and it is very very cool. byron westbrook/corridors.

so how about the Mother of Fire lp? The track I heard was good- ghostly gothpsych or something.

Currently really enjoying the new album by Arp, The Soft Wave.

Everything I've heard so far by Outer Spacist has had a positive effect on my ganglia. They're kinda in the Black Angels-ish vein. Recommended.

all my friends are playing the wickermania festival this week/weekend. see you there.

Last night's show here at UCI was a great West Coast treat -- expanded lineup of the Faraday Trippers opening, then Robedoor, the Grey and Eternal Tapestry finishing it off. Surprised I'm awake and at work, really.

The Greys, not the Grey (but the Grey sounds like a good bandname...)

This is phenomenally good.

Everything I've heard from Rene Hell so far has been really great. Porcelain Opera cd on type is some of the best stuff I've heard this year. Listening to the Rene Hell/Three Legged Race lp right now. I have a couple more coming in the mail. This guy really needs a dedicated thread. I'm pretty sure there are a few Rene Hell supporters on ilm.

Yup. Friendly guy and good live sets as well.

callers 'life of love' album is like some deram nova trip, fantastic vocals

whoaa @ unexpected wire cover too
