Rolling Psych/Drone/Freak Thread 2012

can't remember if Gnaw Their Tongues ever got talked about in these rolling threads but the dude has a new (not brand new, there's some stuff on bandcamp but it's all from last year and nowhere near this good) project called SEIROM which spells Mories backwards which is his name

^this is off the album that Aurora Borealis are putting out, there's better stuff on it but not online afaik. it's way more accessible than anything by GTT... there's a fair bit of Campbell Kneale-y feedback but lots more Tim Hecker/Fennesz/MBV vibes. can't get enough of it atm

Hahah will need to investigate that for sure.

Some sad news: just heard that David Mackinnon of the Lost Domain has passed on.

seriously, if you are within reach of any of these places, go see ilx's own tarfumes do his thing. he's a mesmermagician.

oooh October 12 in Grand Rapids...Im not really in any kind of position to be driving anywhere but that is tempting

This thread has been too quiet, so going to post this link to the Sarin Smoke album (care of the Quietus), which is Pete Swanson (D. Yellow Swans, other shit) and Tom Carter. Just two guitars taking it pretty far out, totally great. They tackle various moves/approaches but it is pretty aggressive/noisy, not a lazy or groovy sound. Really hitting the spot, plus all proceeds go towards to T. Carter recovery fund (if you but the physical copy of course).

May as well post this here too! Kid just FBed this link to the new Oneida record (care of East Village Radio). Sounding really droney and ominous right now, definitely fitting this thread. Pysched to see where it goes.

Eternal Tapestry's World Out Of Time comes out tomorrow on Thrill Jockey. Anyone heard 'em? Portland based members of Jackie-O Motherfucker and Plankton Wat explore their love of Neu! and Sonny Sharrock. They're prolific, having released Dawn in 2 Dimensions earlier this year, Beyond the 4th Door last year, and collaborated with Sun Araw on Night Gallery last year, and have three other albums.

Yeah, I like those dudes and pre-ordered the new one from Thrill Jockey (along with the Golden Void). Dawn in 2 Dimensions was great, as was the Plankton Wat disc from earlier this year, really anxious to hear it. Also super anxious for new Oneida.

There's a used copy of World Out Of Time right now at Reckless WP. There was also one of Golden Void but I snagged it! I forgot the Oneida is out tomorrow - I have not been able to find any preview of it.

I heard it in my local shop. It's pretty gnarly. They are getting more abstract and noisy. It's not as minimal as Absolute II, but it's no more uh tuneful. I didn't buy it cuz I'm just not in the mood for that right now, I'm anxious enough as it is.

I'm glad to hear they are getting more abstract and noisy, I was midly disappointed by Absolute II.

Man, how long has it taken you guys to get packages from Thrill Jockey? My Eternal Tapestry and Golden Void package shipped ten days ago, nothing yet. Seems weird.

do you ever get stuff you order? Or do you have the mailman with the coolest record collection?

I'm starting to think so, heh. I don't know, I've suddenly hit a really bad stretch of not getting stuff I've ordered online. Which, y'know, isn't a good sign since this will be the only way to order records in the near future.

Unfortunately, Thrill Jockey is one of the few places I regularly order from that doesn't give you a tracking option.

best of luck man. That's incredibly annoying.

Thanks. Yeah, super annoying. The weird thing this time is that I had this latest package sent to work instead, trying to suss out if it was a problem with my mail delivery at home.

Dawn in 2 Dimensions is great! Will keep my eye out for them at the store!!

I saw Eternal Tapestry a little over a year ago in Portland and they were tremendous. I have a Plankton Wat record or two, an Edibles record and the Sun Araw collab, but need to catch up on ET itself.

They ended and Dewey (I think) leans into the mic and says, "Thanks, we're Eternal Tapestry. We don't have any records or T-shirts for sale."

the golden void vocalist is kind of not charismatic.

Man, fuck either a USPS or Thrill Jockey at this point. Still haven't gotten my package from them. The dude who has been emailing me from their order department has been super responsive, which I appreciate, but they are basically just shrugging their shoulders. Just annoying because I paid extra for the "insured" media mail, but so far it seems like that isn't covering anything.

Mostly I'm just pissed that I now have to repurchase both the Eternal Tapestry and Golden Void records, but even more that I now have to miss out on the limited edition CD-R that was supposed to come up with my order.

I'm swearing off mail order records after this fiasco and, tbrr, completely considering giving up on record collecting at all. I mean, shops are shutting down right and left so mail order direct from the labels is probably soon to be the only option. And if that isn't even dependale, than why the fuck collect?

wow this is really disheartening man, I hope your luck changes soon jvc :(

I heard the new Oneida record today and its really incredible. It reminded me of Alice Coltrane.

I had drunk lots of gin, though, so my opinion may not count. A++

haha, sounds good. still need to check that one out.

...productively using sounds which previously would have been left to lie dormant on the cutting room floor. He began working with a palette comprised of in-the-red, bit-crushed digitalia, setting to work kneading these stubborn blocks of harsh sound into a sequence of five pieces which, despite their considerable barbs, retain the fluidity and pathos of the ambient tradition from which they were inspired...Indeed, Superstorms is at once organic and robotic, forceful and calm, coherent and unpredictable. In short, it is a meshing of oppositions- binaries smashed together and expertly sculpted into truly powerful sonic miasma.

That Superstorms shit is cool, will need to explore more but thanks for that link. The tracks I listened to were really interesting (for ambient stuff).

Just stumbled across this Mick Flower Band record on the Three Lobed page, and it is great so far! I love Mick Flower, and here it is he and Jon Moloney just rocking (sounds like a power trio at times but it is just the two of them, with Flower looping some stuff).

Seems like they are just jamming, but they are two dudes that are good at jamming. Keeping my time at work till the holidays feeling joyous and not a downer.

nice! did not know about that record. sounds very good about two minutes in.

Wow, second track (I listened before but was distracted with some work shit) is great, if you like totally righteous Mick Flower guitar shredding. Guess the last three are live and have added folks (Bridget Hayden from Vibracathedral Orchestra and someone else).

yeahhh, this is killer. thank you.

this has been blowing my mind

Mugstar is amazing.

You guys know that Gabe Soloman from Yellow Swans put out a new album, right?

The new United Bible Studies album ("I Am Providence") is amazing... just got it in the mail. Recorded on the 2008 tour that I saw, half of it live at Lovecraft's grave and half at a cloud in Providence RI. Mostly a vocal showcase, the club tracks are totally acapella. Gorgeous.

good review here:

Quick head's up. The Roswell Incident's HIGH ORBITAL released in full yesterday: http://theroswellincident.bandcamp.com/album/high-orbital

There had been a single put up back in April, but I got around to the rest of the works last night.

Super-minimal, but Ned had some nice things to say about it. I suspect he'll be looking for a check in the mail...

You owe him 10% of all the free downloads.

Ten percent of nothing with a fifteen percent commission and... Carry the seven since it's a Tuesday...

Right. Precisely seventeen cents.

This is why I'm not a good businessman.
