Review of new Howard Hughes Suite / Geir Sundstol collab via Tome to the Weather Machine > Fans of Chuck Johnson and Lake Mary should definitely take note.
Review of Imperium Droop, a collaboration between Jan St. Wener (Mouse on Mars) and Kid Millions (Oneida) via Foxy Digitalis > at times perplexing, but in the best possible, most rewarding way. Plus “Imperium Droop” is fun to say.
New single from interestingly named Savage Young Taterbug reviewed by Raven Sings the Blues > Taterbug is Charles Free, “singin son of the earth,” as well as a “brotherless child.” He sings and manipulates tapes that he’s recorded, and some he’s found, “sometimes scotchtape vocal dubs for that boy choir vibe.” (out on Lighten Up Sounds)
Speaking of interesting…highly peculiar even > Brian is a human-sized teddy bear with a big heart. He likes watching TV, keeping warm, and hibernating. He’s very good at listening but doesn’t say much. Sometimes, he’ll say the most profound things but people miss them because he has a very quiet bear voice. – new single by Brian is out on Time for Art Records (h/t PJ Sykes)
Happy pre-order Friday from Exploding in Sound – new Smile Machine and new Pile
Last but not least…fundraiser by Disco Sam, so he could leave NJ forever and possibly move to Boston…donate to help him build the studio/stay afloat.
