TUESDAY

:: the dead science ::

[via myspace]

“Sam Mickens (guitar) wields a ghostly tenor reminiscent of Chet Baker and Roy Orbison (yes, I’m aware those are tall orders, so trust me), but this sound is far from retro. Jherek Bischoff commands the contrabass (that’d be the upright bass for you non-music folks) while older brother Korum lays it loose yet insistent on the drums. I’m shy about making comparisons as they just don’t sound like anyone. This is a new chapter in the book of songs, my friends. Korum is the stable, married member while Jherek and Sam couch surf when they’re not touring as members of the free jazz orchestra Degenerate Art Ensemble or as the new rhythm section for our friends in Xiu Xiu.” -Absolutely Kosher

[via thepiratehat]

“Most pop music is frustratingly pedantic. It should be possible to write a catchy song that doesn’t use the same samples or effects used in every other artist’s songs. It should be possible to integrate technology with traditional rock instrumentation to create nuanced compositions that reward repeat listens but can still be whistled. And it should be possible to include every sound, rhythm and melody, regardless of genre, to enhance a song without being pigeonholed as noise, electronica or world music. If you share any of these concerns, then $keleton$ is the band for you.” – Cleveland Free Press

:: grasshopper ::

[by nate dorr]

“Grasshopper is a duo both using trumpet and electronics and though brass / wind instruments have been establishing some pretty solid footing in the ‘noise’ scene the last few years, these guys approach it less from the lineage of free jazz. Well, that’s probably not fair at all but they apply a lot less skronk to their palate amd in some parts there are even suggestions of melody or at least the phrasing is consistent enough that you know there’s a rhyme to their crime and for me it was a great combination. The timbre of a couple of fucked up inharmonious horns mixed with the ‘warmth’ of their electronics (which it seemed was often sourced from their horns) was a solid match.” -Cassette Gods

current tape is sold out but there will be another soon on Obsolete Units ►►► here

:: chaos majik ::

[via myspace]

project from the founder of the Eye & Ear Fest

“Other new swoop on MJC is the Jesuve tape by CM, which is Todd Brooks from Brooklyn’s intriguing Pendu Sound Recordings collective along with Ghost Moth who have been doing those cool releases with free jazz maestro wildman Daniel Carter and something called Mialessot. This tape is awesome gas-tank bomb blast subcurrent explosion-core; real depth-charge action with an assured musical head-feel. MJC has been doing what they call their SHORTY series of shorter tapes (we think that’s what’s going on) of more outside-the-outside stuff.” – Byron Coley & Thurston Moore, Arthur Magazine
