Some more Castevet, since it showed up in my mail yesterday all vinyly and awesome.

Castevet - The Echo & The Light

Castevet's latest achievement, the eight-song The Echo & The Light, doesn't miss a single beat, picking up where Summer Fences left off and honing in on the band's most positive attributes. Leaning less on the sweeping atmospherics and lush soundscapes of its debut, Castevet kicks up the distortion and fuzz pedals that lace kinetic, intertwining guitars while placing a greater emphasis on the gritty vocals and concise songs wound tightly around propulsive, math-tinged instrumental passages. If Summer Fences was the result of a band experimenting with an abundance of great ideas, The Echo & The Light is that band only using the very best of those.

Keith Fullerton Whitman - Variations for Oud & Synthesizer

So I got this little 45 single a few weeks ago but I've only just gotten around to ripping it. Massachusetts-based Keith Fullerton Whitman used to release gonzo breakcore albums as Hrvatski back in the first half of the '00s, but since 2005 or so he's settled on being a respectable electro-acoustic composer, and more power to him really, he's brilliant more often than not. One thing about Whitman is that he doesn't mind a wait - a lot of his music is released years after recording, and this is no exception. Variations for Oud & Synthesizer was recorded in 2005 at the Harvard University Studio for Electro-Acoustic Composition (HUSEAC), using the titular traditional Egyptian instrument both unprocessed and run through various synth hardware of a most formidable nature.

The initial static whine of Side A is indicative of Whitman-as-composer's "formally rough" aesthetic, but the voice of the Oud that gradually pushes through the dissonance takes the song in an entirely new direction. This is the most evocative (and conventional) work that Whitman's done in quite a long time, reminiscent of the more adventurous detours into folk that the Hrvatski guise would undertake from time to time. Side B is a little darker and far more expansive, ditching the experimental screeches of Whitman's hardware for some basic percussion and hypnotic, enveloping synths. The mystic neo-folk of latter-day Coil really comes to mind, particularly the odd rarity "Assassins of Hakim Bey". Really invigorating stuff, far removed from the drone experiments of Whitman's more recent work.

Here's a little more explanation from the man himself, if that riveting cover art doesn't convince you of how much he wants to blow your mind...

    largely recorded at harvard’s huseac back in 2005, the root of these two pieces lie in a series of recordings made by running this ::

    (Oud)
    ... through this ::

    (scary-looking modular synthesizer)

     ... yielding a treasure trove of "explosion-oriented" material, with the stray attacks & tremolo-jacking of the egyptian oud in question being converted into an unholy array of analogue bleep by the serge modular prototype ... later embellished with stray "dry" oud playing, metal zarb rhythms, some rather syd barrett-esque electric slide guitar / echoplex wash & assorted post-production details, this music can be seen as my "tribute" to dariush dolat-shahi’s first folkways record (which everyone with a right mind should own & be in awe of) & françois-bernard mâche’s "kemit" & "korwar" one-two punch ...

    these two pieces have their origins in a long-term composition project which was to be the third in the kranky-label trilogy (after playthroughs & multiples) ... alas, due to a fairly crippling hard drive crash (the first of many i’ve suffered over the past half-decade ; folks, back your shit up !!!) all of the pro tools stems & files were wiped clean, halting the project in its tracks ... lo and behold, 4 years later, i came across a unlabeled backup dvd of "rough" mixes of early sketches , a pair of which, i’ve become rather fond of, leading to this edition ...

    37th birthday edition (i’m old !!!) ; 45rpm "big hole" 7" records (with "classic" labels ; detail below) housed in green "vintage" inner sleeves w/ a 45rpm adapter set in place, inside a b&w jacket inside a "frosty" 6 mil sleeve ... which of course wasn’t the cheapest thing in the world to make but, ah, let’s consider this the affordable "sister" release to "losing everything b/w four oscillators reverb nice" & move on ...


I ripped this using my turntable, there are no digital editions of the single and as far as I know it's pretty ltd. I don't have the best setup so be warned that this won't be the best quality rip you've ever heard in your life. If you've any interest in this material, that shouldn't stop you. Just in case, the two rips are included here as the original WAV files.

You may also notice that there are 4 tracks instead of two. Oftentimes when ripping vinyl I'll forget to change settings between 33 RPM LPs and 45 RPM singles, resulting in "slow motion" rips of songs. I always keep these as I've discovered they add a certain weird something to the listening experience. Because I'm a schmuck, I've included the 33 RPM Mistake Rips in the .zip. They make the music a little more hypnotic.

"HLLLYH"- The Mae Shi

This is possibly one of my favorite albums now that I've heard it, and I've always been shocked that no one has uploaded it. I don't have the words to describe them, but it's a load of loud Indie-Punkish-Electronic goodness. If anyone listens to me, I'm always saying that Vampire Weekend ripped them off and made if mediocre.

So the Dopamines are pretty much the raddest pop-punk band out there ever (at least right now). And since I'm seeing them in the back room of a tiny record store in a couple of weeks, I figured I'd share their first album with you lot. Their newest one, "Expect The Worst", is probably going to end up at the top of my end of the year best albums list. It's massive and awesome.

Record starts out awesome, nice and glitchy but turns way to indie/shoe-gazey. If this is IDM I think I'll give it a miss.

[Vuk]

It's definitely not a purely IDM record - I figured I made that clear with "/shoegaze", haha. But that's what makes it such a great record, imo. It doesn't get too tedious with the glitchy moments, or too boring with the typical shoegaze parts. It's not perfect by any means, but I still love it. I mean, Sweet Trip's new record was indie/shoegaze all the way through, and it was pretty disappointing.

I'm sure at least some of you used to (or still do, cause I know I do, haha) watch The Adventures of Pete and Pete. I didn't watch this enough as a kid, but now I probably appreciate it more than any show from my childhood, and one of the biggest reasons for that is the soundtrack. Think early 90s indie rock, with members from Miracle Legion, with a really college rock feel like that band. It's a fantastic album, and it's a shame the band was just a one-off for the show, cause I would have liked to hear more from them.

[debaser]

didn't the Magnetic Fields do some of the music for that show too?
