Just got a track sent to me from Cleveland’s Supervisor, which was a bitch to try to Google (and after all the searching, found out that this mysterion has no website, MySpace, photos, or any other contact info outside of Soundcloud). Regardless, I’m stoked to have this track and the intrigue. This is some very righteous… what would you call it? Psychedelic post rock meets glitch IDM, much like Caribou when he was known as Manitoba and Aphex Twin’s more focused ambient work. While this recipe was certainly popular during the early part of the decade, during the zenith of groups like The Swords Project and Mogwai circa Happy Songs, this is a musical movement I’m more than happy to see return. Terminally blissful. Suck it, Neon Indian.
For fans of: Manitoba/Caribou, Koushik, The Helio Sequence

Lulz. As reported in my previous post, Darker My Love’s forthcoming album is titled 2, and now Dungen just announced their forthcoming jam hive, out sometime in October. And wouldn’t you know that it’s titled 4. Psych dudes have been watching Sesame Street as of late and are really stoked about numbers. Pitchfork released the track listing yesterday, but I won’t list it here since – I dunno, does it mean anything to you? I get confused at IKEA. I had the privilege of seeing Dungen in New York during CMJ ‘05, and they are some of the most talented musicians I’ve ever witnessed. Where they lacked in a lot of visuals, they made up for in pure prowess – they’re the type of dudes who make you feel bad about your skill level if you play an instrument. Check out Dungen’s website to get pre-order info and to peep their really awesome hair.
Love Black Moth Super Rainbow. They’ve been super busy as of late, from rereleasing all of their back catalogue (including Start a People, my favorite record of last year that wasn’t realy released last year), to supporting the Flaming Lips, to their Zodiac Girls release. And now they have a new rarities collection due for September called Drippers. Prolific. And you know, I think this Sesame Street image matches the feel of BMSR as well, so we’ll let it hang.
