Pander Sera Wants to Rattle Your Sternum
Originally appeared on Grimy Goods. Sean Draper is a clever experimenter. The first thing you notice about her, especially if her forthcoming record is your introduction to the project, is the wordplay in her album title and moniker. Then you will be hit by the technicolor waves of fuzz and noise. Bothy is Pander Sera’s debut LP due out next week. In honor of the … Continue reading Pander Sera Wants to Rattle Your Sternum
You may wince when you hit play for the first time on Mending’s new single, “The Back Alley.” The duo leans on heavy drone feedback as its instrumentation, which gives this and others of their discography an uneasy, nonlinear storyline to follow. But when unwound, the thread is beautiful. Mending have been releasing short EPs like the one that is about to drop on Friday since … Continue reading

Super 8 footage adds nostalgia to Coleman Zurkowski’s latest single
Originally appeared on the 405, view archived article here. Coleman Zurkowski’s latest LP is a brilliant meditation on silence. Called ZERO, the work is resplendent in drawn-out brass notes and various ambient hiccups. Featuring an orchestra comprised of harp, clarinet, and piano, it conjures a curious yet ominous aura. If you look at the tracklist, the record counts down from ‘9’, but ‘0’ is far … Continue reading Super 8 footage adds nostalgia to Coleman Zurkowski’s latest single
******** Drinks to Cope with a Mad World
Originally appeared on the 405, view archived article here. Both Ormston and Ω have established reputations for making music way outside the box, so their collaboration here makes perfect sense. What they managed to create together expands on what they both were already good at, adding effects like canned laughter or scratchy recordings of Christmas carols and film dialogue where appropriate. It often feels more … Continue reading ******** Drinks to Cope with a Mad World
Recently Daniel Huffman aka New Fumes dropped his newest LP, Teeming 2, and you can expect as much noise as is found on the single, “Rioter’s Milk.” Wayne Coyne lends wavering vocals to the fuzz-laden track as the record’s only feature; you can hear Huffman’s low voice on most every other track, though serving as only a small part of the overall odyssey of Teeming 2.

As The River At Its Source is a sixteen minute long ambient drone manifesto, narrated by a woman with an alarmingly steady tone despite the chaos surrounding her. This record is confrontational, not unlike the musings of … Continue reading
