We've been waiting for this. Next Monday, everyone's favorite label madness AMDISCS drops New Lands on 12 inch, Chrome Wings ' anticipated sophomore effort after last year's remarkable Time Patterns cassette on Stunned Records . The new album is quite a big creative leap forward for the Portland duo, as they've further refined their knack for beautifully textured, swirling and expansive synth pads that leave you happy and stoned even if your default dope vendor had to call in sick. Tracks like "Sky Mirage" or "Stay High" set off towards [...]
Tweetvaso link I don't go kicking around Bandcamp nearly as much as I should. I don't have the patience - after sifting through the vast wasteland of PR email - to sift through a bunch of bands who might have an interesting looking cover to their single/EP/album, only to find that their music isn't very...
En catimini certes, mais Jon Jurow et Shane McDonel se sont déjà invités par deux fois dans le creux de nos esgourdes. Déjà, à l'occasion du Mind Blowing Mix qu' Amdiscs nous concocta l'année passée - une mixtape orgiaque toujours écoutable et téléchargeable par ici - le duo Chrome Wings dévoilait une démo, Wake me up When it's Summer . Lors d'une collaboration d'Amdiscs avec le label digital Beko ensuite, trouvant dans nos lignes une caisse de résonance naturelle ( lire ), les nappes synthétiques de Drip City s'étiraient nonchalamment à dessein, entre ambiant lysergique et drone narcoleptique. Originaires de [...]
We've reported about this occasion twice before already, but there is reason to believe that Portland, Oregon dudes Jon Jurow and Shane McDonell aka Chrome Wings are getting somewhat closer to their forthcoming 10 inch release on our slightly retarded yet relentlessly adored friends at Amdiscs . Oh please don't ask what that particular reason to believe is exactly cause frankly we don't know, but give yourself a little Sunday morning treat with that very contemplating psych jammer off said record below. Chrome Wings - New Lands
So, it turns out I neglected a GIMME TINNITUS Tradition. I didn't post my End of the Year Dump . Here is all the stuff I meant to get to last year but for some reason or another just didn't get around to, sorry y'all. But you know what? It makes for a pretty awesome mixtape. Listen. Downloadables: resolution of one (mp3) by guards (d/l the GUARDS ep @ Bandcamp ) Halcyon Days (mp3) by So Cow [...]
Retour de loop Panda Bearesque chez les Américains de Chrome Wings qui annoncent avec ce titre la sortie en automne de leur 103 chez l' interstellaire label des vilaines filles d' AMDISCS . Préparez votre monnaie, vos petites pièces jaunes ! Et si vous désirez en écouter plus, je vous laisse le soin de vous rendre sur leur profil SoundCloud . [MP3] Chrome Wings - Old Money
Chrome Wings are a Portland, Oregon based duo consisting of Jon Jurow and Shane McDonell. Their now sold-out cassette tape Time Patterns that the two had released ealier this year via the great Stunned Records received some well-deserved raving by some of my fellow bloggers, and now the masters of warm noise experimentalism return with Old Money , a wonderfully hazy and laid back jam meandering through your headspace, distant and hushed vocals coming to you as if sung underwater while thick layers of synth sounds make you feel warm and dizzy. The tune [...]
Portland's Chrome Wings is an experimental noise outfit that pits field tapes against a behemoth industrial pulse to knock you square off your cloud. As unnerving as noise rock can be to those not equipped with elephant skin and a masochism for aural punishment, Chrome Wings teeter that line between crass and catchy - assuming this is a pre-existing line. Amidst the steady feedback drone, the caterwaul of cacophony and the esoteric keys, Chrome Wings reel in the weirdness with blip-beat br...
