sculpture: rotary signal emitter

Demonstration Reel from Sculpture on Vimeo.

Amazing picture disc by Sculpture, a duo from London. The music consists in collages of found sounds, beats, noises... It's a kind of audio video experience, but you have to forget about dvd. You have to film the record with a camera and enjoy the results. You can find it through Dekorder or via Mimaroglu Music Sales.

the alps

The Alps is a band from San Francisco and New York. They play psychedelic music inspired by french, italian 70's psychedelic bands and soundtracks, krautrock and english folk. The band is Jefre Cantu-Ledesma (Tarentel), Alexis Georgopoulos (ARP) and Scott Hewicker (Troll). One of their tracks reminds me a song the french singer Christophe wrote for a movie, "Sunny road to Salina". It's really good and unique!!! Their two albums are entitled "III" and "Le Voyage" on the excellent label Type.
Hallucinations

new peaking lights & wet hair lps.

Two new releases from the awesome label Night People. The first one by Peaking Lights (one of my favorite band/duo these days) "Space Primitive" and Wet Hair/Naked on the Vague "Split LP". The records' artworks are designed by Shawn Reed (the label's boss), who also plays in Wet Hair, whose records "Dream" and "Glass Fountain" are fresh psychedelic noise music.

excepter: kill people!!!

Not really new, but a very good song and a really fucked-up video from this great New York band. Check their sound and info here.
