SOAKED

Hadn't heard much of anything from Fluker Love since very early 2010 when his song "Soaked" appeared on Friendship Bracelet Club Volume 3. His self-titled full-length dropped a couple months prior in November 2009, boasting a couple seriously warbled pieces of shoe-gaze like "In Love" and "With You" (check those here). Fast forward exactly one year since the release of FBC3 and here we're posting a remix of "Soaked" by Lapalux, which appears as the last track on Streamer, Fluker Love's tape from last September on Free Loving Anarchists that I didn't know about until the other day. You can stream the whole tape at FLA's bandcamp.

Fluker Love also has a free Soaked EP to download at his blog. Dude also has a Soundcloud page with a few jams and remixes that aren't on the full-length or the tape or the EP. My favorite, "Mauve," almost has these footwork stutters in there, blipping by as familiar atmospheric swells fill the space to psychedelic capacity.

TANGENTS REQUEST #026

Today I'm requesting Billy Crystal's "You Look Marvelous," because half the shit I've been downloading lately is just a heavy precursor to this song. Also because I usually put this on after I've blow-dried my hair & moisturized & I'm staring at myself in my mirror in my underwear. I just sing "YOU LOOK MARVELOUS" to myself over & over again. I took a tip from Stephen Colbert & his Cheap Trick warm-up. Yeah, he sings Cheap Trick to himself in the mirror before his shows BECAUSE HE'S A PROFESSIONAL. Personally, Billy's voice in this just really revs my confidence. I don't know what it is. Billy Crystal is just so flattering & inspirational. It's like, "You know what, Billy? I DO HAVE THE LEGS OF A DANCER! I've been doing Tracy Anderson's Dance Cardio every morning as my New Year's Resolution! I AM going to go network the shit out of this mixer at the Marriott!"

Ha! I'm just kidding. All of that was a huge joke! Except the whole me dancing to this in my underwear in the mirror. Definitely every morning. And the Dance Cardio. Definitely not every morning.

JUST ENOUGH

Julian Lynch recently recorded a little live set at WFMU. That set is now available to download at the Free Music Archive. Check out the live version of "Just Enough" from last year's superb album Mare then download the whole set.

ROEDELIUS

Hans-Joachim Roedelius is well-known as being one of the key players in the birth of Krautrock, whether recording as Kluster (or Cluster), Harmonia, or on his lonesome. His solo album Selbstportrait I has just been re-released by Bureau B for the first time ever since seeing its original release in 1979 on Sky Records. The label has released one song for the public, "Staunen im Fjord." The track resembles a deconstruction of Cluster and Harmonia to their least flashy and most deliberate, ticking by like the unwavering hands of a timepiece. However, there's no rigidity. There's no seemingly constrictive force, rather a fluid but inevitable path from the beginning towards the end. Bureau B refers to the album as "unfiltered personality, the real Roedelius."

NO REGULAR PLAY

Soul Clap is a jacked-up house duo out of Boston. They released a free EP WAY BACK in September with some of their friends, appropriately titled The Clap and Friends FreE.P. Soul Clap's contribution is fantastic, but it's the EP's first track by No Regular Play that really got me. The song, "Strange Cameo," pumps along for six minutes, slowly melding all the pounding house beat, funky bass line, chopped vocal sample and little melodies here and there into a sweaty rager. Download/stream the track then grab the whole EP.

COVERED LAMP

Silk Flowers have a couple remixes of tracks from their new album Ltd. Form floating around. There's the excellent Peter's House Music remix of "Small Fortune" and Nite Jewel's take on "Frozen Moments," which introduces Nite Jewel's vocals to the original's cold snap. Also check out previously posted "Band of Color" and buy the record from PPM when it comes out February 8.

FRIENDSHIP CLUB #10 - AYGEETEE

Andrew Gideon Thomson, currently known to the sonic world as AyGeeTee (formerly AGT), has been under the Friendship Bracelet's super-radar for what seems like at least a year. (probably more like eight to ten months, so about five years' internet time). The royal We dug the Londoner's blending of hardboiled glitch-beat and wavering ambient passages, enough so for .us to "induct" him into the Friendship Club with an FBFC mix, the tenth such mix to date.

Dude's also responsible for fuckin up my header.

AyGeeTee has his first couple releases out soon, a c40 on Sweat Lodge Guru due next month and an EP for AMDISCS sometime in the near future. No Fear In Pop posted an extract from the B-side, "Screaming Glow," and down below you can download an extract from the A-side, "Talking Burd." (extract meaning a bunch of pieces surgically removed from each long track, mixed together into a mini-summary/mini-Frankenstein).

Also stream "Thread," from the as-yet-untitled AMDISCS EP.

ALSO dude remixed The XX late last year ["so I took out every element of the original track (except one 1/2 second sample warped & pitched up & down) & it sounded much betta than before, so I added guitars and more synths n shit &... here we are"]

As for the mix, Andrew outdid himself on this one, producing two "sides" of a single digital mixtape. Bits and pieces of songs woven in and out of grooves from others, making for a wild 85-minute ride. For real though - he crammed a whole bunch of shit in there. Check the tracklists, though sometimes it's hard to tell when one piece ends and the next begins. It'll be a fine Monday treat for all the office team out there.

HEAVY WHITE

Really dramatic piece of piano key ambience wafting out of NNA Tapes' Soundcloud from Driphouse. The whole tape is fantastic, spacious corridors of soothing synthesizer drones. In "Heavy White," the tones are quite tangible, not too many layers sweeping in to overpower each other. This makes for a calming effect, no matter how discordant the drones become. "Heavy White" appears on Driphouse's 50/50 c24, out now on NNA Tapes.

TANGENTS REQUEST #025

SO I figured I'd drop a message before this week's request. Just wanted to remind y'all that I now host a radio program on Newtown Radio called Friendship Bracelet Radio. The show airs Wednesday evenings (LIKE THIS EVENING) from 6-8PM EST. Stream from newtownradio.com. Every week for the past who knows how many weeks, Marissa A. Ross (Tangents & The Times) has requested a song to be played on the radio show I have been a part of at the time. Here's what she wants to hear this week:

So, I totally slept on this, which apparently came out in September or something? Where was I? I should have been on top of Electric Sunset's every move considering how devastated I was about the dissolution of Desolation Wilderness. I mean, I had "Soda" but then I guess I just forgot? I don't know. I don't have any legitimate excuses for myself. Whatever. Okay, so I've been totally jamming on this album this week. It has all the synthy vibes that are prevalent right now but, it's a lot poppier I think. It's so chill yet so melodic & upbeat. It's like, chill-pop. That's what I'm deciding. I really have no qualifications to be making up genres, but whatever, lol. Like that's ever stopped me! This is the blogosphere, where people who have no business talking about things, come to talk about things! Especially things they don't have business talking about! LOL! Alright, so I may not have the jurisdiction to carve out new niches but chill-pop or not, today I'm requesting Electric Sunset's "Last Night On Earth". I can't tell you how perfect it is to listen to while driving to work, three bong rips deep, under a perfectly clear blue sky. On that note... hm, yeah, I should probably get to work now.

"SHY GIRLZ DORITO DOME"

New video by Grant Nitsch for "Freedom From Fear" by Megafortress. Megafortress is the project of Bill Gillim, who played/plays alongside Joel Ford (a.k.a. Airbird a.k.a. 1/2 of Games) in Tigercity. "Freedom From Fear" is from his self-titled EP, which can be downloaded at his Soundcloud. Check the video below, along with some of my favorite eerie and beautiful synthesizer/voice constructions of his.

MANE2MANE

Don't know much about Miko Revereza except that he's now cool in my book for making this weird psychedelic warped-VHS-tape-style video for yuk.'s take on "Skin Fox" by Mane Mane. The remix is part of the "Skin Fox" Remix EP, a.k.a. seven reworkings of the song that made me fall for Mane Mane in the first place all squished together with the original in one tight buuundle.

This nice little FREE treat is a preview into the mind-splitting depths of Mane Mane's debut full-length release Mane2Mane, out Valentine's Day on Triple You Tapes.

Check out the video plus a couple other personal favorites, then download the entire EP.

RIGHT HERE

You guys. White Rainbow dude teamed with Justin Green. They formed Purple & Green. Their first output, "Right Here," is a nice bit of throwback house-y disco radio bliss. The couple newer songs are a bit less involved, a bit slower and not as fun, but you should check out "Right Here" for sure and hope they dip back into that vibe again.

LAPTI & NOCOW

Lapti (Moscow, Russia) uploaded a new collaboration with Nocow (St. Petersburg, Russia) to his Soundcloud. "Sirenas (Part 1)" is a three minute piece of ambient bliss, bordering on mournful dirge cos of the slow, slow pace and emotive wisps of female vocal. Another one Lapti's upped since I mentioned him in September is "Alligator Tamer," on the completely opposite side, a more upbeat version of Lapti. Check those two plus a couple remixes.

BLACK JEANS

Russell Butler's recording and performance project Black Jeans belts out seriously dramatic goth synthesizer shit. Black Jeans also knows how to get sugary way out in space. The first two tracks of his four-song demo got this dark gut-croon, you know, Ian Curtis. Sort of like an energized Silk Flowers, but I say that mostly cos of the voice. The first track, "Canyons," embodies this dark-as-fuck sensibility, vocals blazing. The next two are a bit different, the third an amorphous blob of buzzing, pulsing wind and the fourth a straight-up downer pop gem, heaps of harmonies emerging from and sinking back into hissing oblivion. Check out these samples then download the demo.

TANGENTS REQUEST #024

By the time you read this, Monster Rally's LP Coral will have been released yesterday. This is a huge deal for me because Monster Rally embodies everything I love, and everything I will love about my future life in an upscale 1970's suburban-ish home. It is perfect for my tiki-garden parties and is also perfect for afternoons I'll spend at my pristinely plain pool with an illegally installed diving board, drinking mojitos. It is perfect for my evenings spent lounging & laughing at my own jokes on chaises with fine wine AND(!) it is also perfect for snorting shit-tons of cocaine & rolling around on burnt sienna shag carpet (I imagine)! This is my future people, my future with Monster Rally. Monster Rally has no idea how critical they are not only to my current lifestyle, but also to my impending future. So critical. Like, most days I wake up wondering where I was before I discovered Monster Rally. I'm usually like, "Oh, still listening to Hal Aloma & his Hawaiian Orchestra." But that's not the point. The point is Monster Rally was my favorite band of 2010. I think it's just one dude, not even sure if it's a band but like, it's so important to me. I hope you all buy the full-length. If not for the music, for the fact it's SEA-FOAM GREEN!!! Which is one of the closest colors to mint-teal, the best color of all time (for me).

Order the vinyl from Gold Robot now. Live the life, dude. Just give over to the leisure.

I'LL BE JUST FINE

First peeped Temple Songs on No Fear of Pop a few weeks ago, then Don't Die Wondering posted their song "I'll Be Just Fine" the other day to remind me. Temple Songs is the appropriate comedown from seeing full band rock n roll performances by Julian Lynch and Ducktails on consecutive nights this weekend - loosely strung pieces of dusty pop, always at a distance, always super dreamy. At times it's got this bleak Melted Toys echo going ("I'll Be Just Fine"), at other times the riffs come off powerful, hopeful even. These moments remind me of a low fidelity version of a some higher fidelity pop bands of the past couple years, like Girls or Smith Westerns ("Golden Nites") or even Deerhunter ("Hey, Get Some Sleep").

Henning from NFOP says "the whole thing sounds as if someone had accidentally thrown the master tape into the family pool."

Ummm... "accidentally," right.

The Temple Songs EP is available for free download from bandcamp.

HERE LIES PINK PRIEST

After a whole bunch of tapes and little CDRs and a couple slices of vinyl, seems like Friendship Bracelet Club and Friendship Bracelet Friendship Club alum Pink Priest intends to turn out the lights on the solo project after his final couple releases. Dude has a split with A Grave With No Name out soon on Sweat Lodge Guru and his second piece of vinyl, Swallow Your Dreams, out in a couple months on La Station Radar, the folks who brought you his first LP Honeysuckle, which you can now stream in its entirety.

Not to worry, dude's trudging on with two other projects, Malibu Wands and Gremlynz, the latter of which released the Crystal Hexes tape on Family Time Records back in December. You can download the first Gremlynz tape HERE. Gremlynz has FIVE releases in the works according to the God of Blues blog.

Check out an excerpt from Swallow Your Dreams, an excerpt from the AGWNN split, an excerpt from Crystal Hexes and a gigantic "Pink Priest Retrospective" called Sweet Ground that the dude himself mixed up.

BALTIC EXPO

Felix Uran is another one of Dramatic Records' Endless House dudes I mentioned recently. These dudes got some idea that they'd release "archive packs" (including photos and postcards) of "long lost" jams referencing early electronic and kraut music but in a super futuristic manner that no one in 1973 would've ever dreamed of. Not to be a party pooper, but the reason no one in '73 would've dreamt this shit is cos there's no way it was actually made back then.

I mean, it's a good marketing ploy, don't get me wrong. And the music's huge and expansive, warping from one pulsating German influence to another, but forget suspending your disbelief, cos there's nothing to believe in. Just look past the fiction and enjoy the sounds.

Dudes sent over a couple more tracks shrouded in "mystery," both from Mr. Felix Uran. The first, "Masprojekt (On Earth)," gets going like some spaced-out Cluster piece. It appears on the Endless House record alongside the previously mentioned Klaus Pinter and Rasmus Folk, while the second track here, "Masprojekt (To The Stars)," is some sort of bonus material not found on the record.

Grab these then buy the "archive pack."

ZERO GRAVITY

Zonotope™ has a new tape out on Hobo Cult Records. Zero Gravity picks up where Excellent Realms (The Curatorial Club) and Cruising Through the Hypersphere of Resonance (self-released) left off, slow-melting pieces of ambient synthesizer bliss cut and molded into pop song forms. The less-than-serious take on space and technology remains (take the song title "Comcast® EntityContact On Demand"), making for yet another little slice of weird, floating faux-sci-fi fantasy.

Check a new one below, then stream some bandcampers.

TANGENTS REQUEST #023

Today I am requesting The Zombies' "This Will Be Our Year." This song is off Odessey and Oracle, the strongest Zombies album in my personal & sometimes humble opinion. I am requesting this song because this is my first request of the new year and I would like to start it on a positive note. See, in real life, 2011 has started quite rockily for it's whole five days in existence but I think keeping an optimistic attitude is the key to not losing anymore jobs, not working for anymore assholes and not getting the flu again this year.

Getting the flu is really terrible when you're older because you have to miss work instead of school, so instead of skipping out on boring ass math, you're skipping out on much needed cash. On that note, let me add "get a flu shot" to the list of resolutions I'm sure I won't complete this year and get back to taking in mad fluids. Wish you all a healthy 2011, for real.

TIMESHARES

Back in August, Trevor from Woodsman and Fire Talk Records passed along "Old Kid," the first track from his solo project Gem Trails. Sheathed in a coat of sparkling, radiant light, "Old Kid" was just a taste of Gem Trails' debut cassette Timeshares, out soon on The Curatorial Club. The whole sees more of this sparkly ambient territory, but stretches it to the furthest reaches of time and space, even getting a bit groovy on "Wahter." Check these out, peep the whole thing from bandcamp, then buy a tape from TCC when it's out.

BONS TEMPOS

Branches just released "Bons Tempos," a new song and video to ring in the new year. Really digging the groove, but IT'S ONLY 90 SECONDS LONG. You'll find yourself pressing play over and over, I'm sure. Check the song and video and all the previous Branches stuff you should check out. Branches will release a tape on Triple You Tapes later on this year.

ALSO: Just before the new year, Branches sent over a re-working of his track "Salão Flamingo" by Sunnybrook. One of the comments on the Soundcloud describes it perfectly:

LIVING IMAGE

Moon Glyph continues its impressive string of cassette releases with Camden's Living Image tape. Camden is the solo project of Cole Weiland from Daughters of the Sun, who released their Ancient of the Ancients c28 on Moon Glyph some time ago. In fact, this is Camden's second Moon Glyph release following the Life of Devotion c24 (which I'm totally checking out now).

Living Image maneuvers its way through bubbling forms of ambient noise and kraut oscillations, higher-register twinkles squirming their way to the top above buzzed-out vocalizations and throbbing drones. It's easy to get lost in the tape, given its cohesiveness and dedication to a certain parameter of sound. There is never a purely ambient moment, never a purely black-noise moment, rather a viscous middle-ground where the two melt into each other, sometimes nearly into pop forms.

Camden's Living Image cassette is out now, actually dropped back in November. Purchase on the Moon Glyph site. Also, dude's other band Daughters of the Sun has a new LP out soon on Not Not Fun.

KARMANN GHIA

Received this Vittorio Mazzoni video yesterday, the whole package reminds me of Forest Swords - soaring guitar shreds, throbbing rhythms and a brimful of atmospherics both sonic and visual. It's too early to know if this is even his Myspace yet (note the Yngwie Malmsteen in his top friends + "Master of Puppets" cover), but hopefully we hear and see more soon. (CONFIRMED: Not his Myspace.)
