Dreamcrusher is Luwayne Glass, a Wichita-born and now Brooklyn-based sound scourge with a long trail of cassettes on a slew of imprints — Hausu Mountain, Dioynsian Tapes, Obsolete Units, and others — making what they describe as “nihilist queer revolt musik,” but that some might…

In addition to running Fire Talk Records and playing in Brooklyn psych-trio Woodsman, Trevor Peterson also creates experiential, ambient material under his solo moniker, Gem Trails. His new album, Apartment For Lucy, is a deep dive into various multi-layered soundscapes, each track a four- or five-minute…

#1 – 6.21.2015 – RVNG Intl. announced a set of six dates to be played in the US and CA by Robert A.A. Lowe and Ariel Kalma, whose We Know Each Other Somehow double-LP seems to have never left my turntable since it came out. Check the dates over at RVNG’s site and revisit our recent…

#1 – 6/15/2014 – “…one person’s hard-won virtuosity is another person’s competent conventionality.” My week began with an entertaining essay from The New Republic’s art critic Jed Perl, riffing obliquely on the contemporary art scene’s search for authenticity…

Brooklyn-based label Fire Talk just released a new digital single from Paw Paw, the solo project of Woodsman’s former drummer, Eston Lathrop. “Moving Mountains” serves as a sneak peek for his upcoming debut full-length, which will be out this fall. Lathrop put together a video for…

I accidentally thought that this tape was called “Tape Phrase,” which honestly, I quite liked. Despite the fact that “Tape Phase” is clearly appropriate for what’s going on with the music of Denver’s The Kevin Costner Suicide Pact (KCSP, familiarly), and especially with what is going on…
