Kasper T. Toeplitz & Anna Zaradny ~ Stacja Nigdy w Życiu

How to best translate the live experience to the vinyl experience?  Play it loud.  Having been (pleasantly) deafened by Anna Zaradny at the Unsound Festival a few years back, I was heartened to hear two new LPs from the artist this season:

Tess Said So ~ Scramble + Fate

Tess Said So‘s follow-up to I Did That Tomorrow is another bright and colorful concoction, as cheerful as the cover art implies.  The Australian duo of Will Larsen (percussion) and Rasa Daukus (piano) continues to fool the ear, as Scramble + Fate sounds more

Vicious Circus ~ Hand Written Tweets

Modern folks, with their 8-tracks and cassettes and records, will be chagrined to learn that someone, somewhere, is taking a stand for human decency and the preservation of traditional modes of recording.  Yes, London’s Vicious Circus has just pressed their latest release

LENT ~ Glassware of Dry Leaves

LENT uses tape loops, backward masking, samples and stutters to create a sonic screen on which their strangest fantasies are projected.  Glassware of Dry Leaves is a perfect title, as it makes sense on an instinctual level more than a physical one.
