Back in 2009, Lotus Plaza (just one of the many projects of Deerhunter guitarist Lockett Pundt) quietly released The Floodlight Collective , a Kranky records long-player comprised of ten loop-based tracks equal parts bedroom-pop and bliss-out ambient. On February 14 th , in celebration of that project's forthcoming follow-up, Spooky Action at a Distance, Portland based label Audraglint will release a limited 10" featuring two tracks for two separate projects – both Lotus Plaza and Nice Weekend, a project comprised of Pundt and his fiancé Shayda Yavari, are presented – of the musician's exo-Deerhunter material.

salem - "frost" (download) Salem 's music is like a slowed-down M83 meets Sunn 0))) . Somewhat ethereal and droney, somewhat beat heavy. Salem has a new 2-song EP out on Audraglint featuring this track and a song called "Legend." This stuff is perfect for walking around with headphones on. You should check out as much of their stuff as possible. myspace buy

Chicago's darkest and most groundbreaking band, Salem , is set to release a new single titled "Frost" and and it's a limited edition 7″ single with foil embossed cover which will be available via Audraglint or the Salem MySpace page. It's signature Salem; slow, dark, ethereal and beautiful. The soundtrack to Fall's full moon midnights. If it's anything like their previous records, it will be sold out and fetch a pretty penny on eBay, so I'd recommend picking it up asap. Proof of there insane innovation they also recently remixed a couple of Gucci Mane songs, which [...]
Casual Encounter of the Terrifying Kind Creepy Chicago band SALEM released their limited edition 'Frost' 73 single b/w 'Legend' yesterday on Audraglint . Heather voices the eerie 'Frost', which is decidedly more chilled out, ethereal pop that's almost cozy compared to the scary shotgun rounds of b-side 'Legend', in which John coos like a deranged baby. Somehow the duo manages to make some of the scariest music I've ever heard, recalling the final scenes of The Virgin Suicides . The latest in a string of [...]
"Frost" is the new 7-inch release from Chicago/Michigan/New York crunkwave act Salem. The group's only fault to this point seems to be that a lot of their songs seem to do the same things; beats appropriated from southern rap buried in ambient, gothic synths, and reverbed vocals buried under all of that. With "Frost," as if to flip the bird to anyone who might have noticed that chink in their armor, they've simply turned up all of those elements: the beats bang harder, the ambience dominates, and it's entirely possible to hear what vocalist Heather is singing at all. That [...]
SALEM 's new limited edition Frost 7" single is out today on Audraglint (complete with "silver foil embossed sleeve"). The a-side is more of SALEM's signature damaged, dark "goth juke" with thoroughly haunting vocals from Heather, while Jack sings on equally terrifying b-side " Legend " (video below). Limited to 500 copies; get it here before it's gone. mp3: SALEM :: frost ********* *********
