MIND FRY

Big up to Raven Sings the Blues for a preview of the new Edibles record Other Minds Meet Inner Space, out now on DNT Records. Edibles is a project of Dewey Mahood from Eternal Tapestry and Plankton Wat. Last year he released two tapes, one on Not Not Fun and one a split with Duck Dive on Stunned Records. New track "Mind Fry," which is apparently an Edibles live staple, plumes forth from the end of a toasted spliff much like some of Sun Araw's more boogie-ed out burners. This new one is more immediately funky and engaging than NNF tape Super Space / Mind Peace which oftentimes drifts into the background and lets itself be passed over. I think it's the faint vocal murmurs that bring "Mind Fry" to the forefront, a human element to separate the sound from Edibles' other deep, laid-back jungle grooves. Check the track then BUY the record.

DRAW A DOOR AND KNOCK TWICE

Neon Marshmallow Music Festival keeps on dropping pieces of their 2011 fundraiser cassette compilation into The Web, this time a magnificent piece of burbling synthesizer bliss from Outer Space, a.k.a. John Elliott from Emeralds. "Draw a Door and Knock Twice ('86 Mix Edit)" simmers for six and a half minutes with sputtering waves steadily increasing in density then receding without any real climax. It's the perfect soundtrack to watching the miniature tornadoes of airborne seeds flare up and die down outside my window, though the piece would be a suitable soundtrack for any number of natural world scenes depicting proliferating life. The festival itself is this coming weekend at the Empty Bottle in Chicago andhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif Outer Space performs Saturday June 11 along with Pelhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gift, Oneohtrix Point Never, Dylan Ettinger and many more. Check the track below then purchase the massive 80 minute cassette to help raise fest funds.

ABORTION GROUP

Every once in a while I get to a point where there's a bunch of new information on Dem Hunger and Dem Hunger-related projects so I post those pieces of information all at once.


1. The Hers is a pre-Dem Hunger Dem Hunger from three or four years ago. This past month he uploaded a bunch of tracks under the name to his Soundcloud, including the set titled Pregnant Strangers. The Hers is way more pleasant and meditative than some of his other works, which tend to get a bit difficult to listen to. There's still all the vinyl pops and cracks and hiss and fucked vocal samples, just at a slower pace, a lounged-out Dem Hunger that came about when he was "BORED IN THE SKULL."

2. Dem also recently posted a couple remixes, his "Orange Bike Edit" of an untitled Matthewdavid track and a remix of Dynoo's "Boothbay" or, more specifically, the "Wanda Group Sink Into My Love (Eternal Horseshit) Version."

DYNOO - BOOTHBAY (WANDA GROUP SINK INTO MY LOVE (ETERNAL HORSESHIT) VERSION) by ARAFAT GROUP


3. Dem's next output will be as Wanda Group, with two splits on the horizon with the gentleman behind Cupp Cave/Ssaliva and with Jar Moff. Hoping this 30-second Wanda Group clip has something to do with one of those releases...

SONHO MARÍTIMO

Portugal's Branches dropped a new single recently, a free three-track download from bandcamp called Sonho Marítimo. Dude goes in on some more new age-y vibes than I'm used to hearing from him, and the results are beautiful -- bubbling synthesizers floating on an innertube pond forever, just barely making out the hammering street sound from across the water. Branches' ambient trend will continue this summer on Primeira Vez, his upcoming release on Triple You Tapes (UUU#012). Check the two non-title-tracks from the single, download it all on bandcamp, then hold tight for information regarding the new tape.
