warmth, intimacy and integrity

on the back of the lp: "my special thanks to doc watson, a most influential teacher whom i've never met. long after i stopped copping all his licks, i realized that the best lessons he taught me had to do with warmth, intimacy and integrity in music."

berserker

vinyl rentals from amoeba are my new favorite things since i hooked up my dad's old turntable to a friend's sony tower speakers, which flank my bed. currently spinning:







having met whilst working in a new york record store (undoubtedly alongside the obligatory resident cat), scott mou and noah lennox (aka panda bear of the animal collective) bonded over their love of detroit, chicago and berlin dance and formed jane with the express purpose of ditching the binary and cranking up the soul. comprised of three tracks (a fourth bonus cut on the cd), 'berserker' is a good introduction to the Jane oeuvre, providing a precise cross section of their sound. opening with the title track, mou and lennox present a rousing but beatless six minutes that has overt shades of Sigur Ros within its cushioned swelling vistas, an outlook similarly shared on the following 'agg report'. taking a cue from twin peaks, 'agg report' introduces a dubby fingered rhythm that appropriates a ~scape refit of plug research-era tejada that swoops and soars throughout. closing the record is 'slipping away', a dark-hearted midnight trip down to the woods that uses a slow burn, bert jansch framework to silhouette a polite (but insistent) build towards an analogue heavy, jackhammer beat.

black mold - snow blindness is crystal antz (2009)


black mold = chad vangaalen. via flemisheye.com: "the album opens with a baffling and beautiful composition, 'metal spider webs,' a lattice of cello and clarinet complemented by shifting electronic pulses. in the dreamlike and metamorphic title track, subtle oscillations and erratic surges build before settling into a simple layering of acoustic guitars and drums...the album is strewn with musique concrete pastiches, creative use of circuit bending and manipulation, and an intuitive and intelligent understanding of rhythmic minimalism." this album comes with a download code for ONE HUNDRED MINUTES of bonus glitches, unfinished beeswax, and other stuff the guy works on during the wee hours of the morning while he is/is not knocking over his bong and watching requiem for a dream for the 43098570394th time.
