Brightblack Morning Light ... WTF?

are they bad ppl?

great fucking guys, or couple, if they're still one, more like it

from what I've heard they have broken up and things are not going so well for Nathan

Listening to the new Deradoorian album (which is great btw -- pleasantly dark/murky production, with the rhythm section pounding out motorik beats a la Stereolab) and the deep bass groove peppered with jazzy flute on the track "Devil's Market" has me reminiscing about this band :'(

It's only a little reminiscent of BML to my ears... but it is great, thanks for posting about it.

Alright here is something that should be fairly unheard. BBML's Maida Vale session for Radio 1 back in 2006, a couple months after the first LP. This also includes two interview segments spliced between their recording session. I was determined to find this after coming across a random cell phone video of them doing a soundtrack at Maida Vale, uploaded to Youtube in 2006. Was not so easy given that BBC's archive doesn't go back that far. But luckily there's folks out there archiving random DJ sets from years and years ago, had to grab the whole set and pull out just the Brightblack segments. Anyway, it's great sounding and a fun listen.

one of the very few bands I keep pulling to appear higher or at all in best of 00s lists. peak vibe albums.

This sounds great - thanks for the heads-up! I did have to skip the interviews though. Needs a warning: 'contains hippies, two of them'.

On the one hand I feel like I need a hundred more albums of this music, on the other hand I don't think I ever really *listened to* "Miwok Shapes" (the final song on the s/t) until right this instant

Not saying that track is up there with their best work (it's not) just that there is plenty of listening left to do within their small discography.

So this revive inspired me to finally get off my ass and upload this live tape I made.

They played in Eugene at Sam Bond's garage in October 2006, they had a trombone player. The tape isn't great, maybe a B- as far as audience recordings go, I was a bit too far back so there's crowd noise and chatter. But hey, this is the first time I've made it available. These are FLAC files, feel free to upload on DIME or whatever since I am too lazy.

Thanks Sleeve! I’m gonna delve into this tomorrow and follow up again after listening. Appreciate the heads up too in the guitar thread, take care.
