chillwave, pop, IDM, indie

(Produced by Stephen Wilkinson)

“Bokeh is the out of focus region of a photograph. It's not a quantifiable thing, but photographers and lens manufacturers are obsessed with it. In Japanese it means “haze”, “blur”, or even “dementia”. I called the album Mind Bokeh because I'm interested in the effect of defocussing your mind, whether through meditation, chemicals or whatever – it's a state of mind quite alien to Westerners.”

Burial, Four Tet + Thom Yorke - Ego / Mirror

Text Records

Vinyl, 12", 45 RPM

16 Mar, 2011

UK garage, dubstep, indie, IDM

Cuando el músico británico Kieran Hebden, alias Four Tet, se reunió en el año 2009 con el enigma del dubstep, Will Bevan -más conocido cómo Burial- para lanzar los singles “Moth” y “Wolf Cub” bajo su sello Text, la idea y el resultado parecieron demasiado buenos para volver a repetirse. Dos años más tarde, Four Tet reinventa la fórmula con la adición del frontman de Radiohead, Thom Yorke, el cual había sido remezclado antes por los otros dos músicos en la versión de remixes del disco “The Eraser” de Yorke. “Ego” y “Mirror” son dos noctámbulos tracks donde los gruesos beats, el bass sound y la atmósfera sombría se deben a Burial. Four Tet colabora con dulces timbres y pianos, mientras que la voz de Yorke le imprime frescura e innovación a la obra, resultado en algo más cercano al pop pero cargado de profundidad, misterio e inteligencia.

Six Organs of Admittance - Asleep on the Floodplain

label: Drag City

CD, Album / Vynil, LP

released: Feb 2011

folk, psychedelic, drone

myspace

Devendra Banhart dijo una vez: “Ben Chasny es el jardín, yo solo soy un caracol que come lechuga en él” El decimoquinto álbum de estudio del virtuoso guitarrista acústico, alias Six Organs of Admittance, no hace más que seguir reafirmando su pasión por ese folk ritualista, melancólico y psicodélico, que pertenece a los bosques solitarios, a las montañas y a los ríos místicos. No hay nada nuevo en “Asleep on the Floodplain”, pero cómo en cada nuevo trabajo, Chasny se las arregla para capturarte cómo si fuera la primera vez. Las atmósferas oníricas y misterioras, a veces sencillas y cálidas de sus canciones, poseen algo precioso e inmaculado, algo poderoso que hace abstraerse de cualquier contexto y transportarse a un lugar desconocido donde dominan las leyendas antiguas. La contemplación de la naturaleza y su gran misterio.

SCB - Loss / Future Unknown

Aus Music

12" vinyl

# AUS1132

March 2011

deep house, minimal

(produced by Paul Rose, alias Scuba)

Tracklist:

A. Loss

B. Future Unknown

on Aus Music

SCB is a house/techno project by Paul Rose, better known as UK bass pioneer and Hotflush Recordings owner Scuba. SCB was born in 2008 with a now-seminal rework of 'Hard Boiled' from the first Scuba album,A Mutual Antipathy, and has since developed with two full 12"s and remixes of Mount Kimbie and Phil

Kieran amongst others.

'Loss / FutureUnknown', on Will Saul's Aus Music imprint, is the first original SCB material to surface outside of Rose's own circle of labels. 'Loss', with its spacey melodies and repeating vocal slices, builds and builds into a slice of pure unadulterated dancefloor joy, very much in keeping with the musical territory occupied by Aus at the moment. On the flip side, 'Future Unknown', fills out the atmospherics with dark stabs and driving rhythms which eventually give way to an almost Scuba-esque brand of floating euphoria.

Vladislav Delay Quartet "Debut" Exclusive Track Preview

Tracks taken from the forthcoming debut album out on Honest Jon's by May 2011.

Finnish experimental artist Sasu Ripatti, most often known as Vladislav Delay, has put together a new group called the Vladislav Delay Quartet, with a self-titled debut album due out in May. Ripatti has always been a man of many projects, producing on his own as Vladislav Delay, Luomo and Sistol, with each guise differing greatly in style. Vladislav Delay Quartet features an electro-acoustic ensemble with Ripatti on percussion. Other members of the lineup are Mika Vainio, who handles electronics and processing, and live instrumentalists Derek Shirley and Lucio Capece (the latter of whom appeared on the Vladislav Delay's 2009 album Tumaa). Those two play double bass, bass clarinet and soprano sax. The album is mixed and produced by Ripatti himself.
