Really appreciating C V L T S ' infinitely discreet new album Realiser with its shifting tonal qualities and icy demeanor. "Suki" is the final track and offers sharp and crisp contrast to the album's modulating explorations, coming across as restorative and healing through its decaying high-pitched keyboard loops. Realiser is out June 1 on Aguirre . buy / soundcloud
Bryan Cox is Soft Lighting and vice versa. No, not the dreamy particle physicist Brian Cox , the dreamy chill wave pop artist. Perhaps this is why Soft Lighting suits him better and with a sound that conjures images of dimly lit rooms and landscapes, this alias becomes even more appropriate the more you hear it. He recently made his debut with Slow Motion Silhouettes on Synthemesc in March and left a lasting impression with his original take on synth pop. After debating the sociopolitical impact of Saved [...]
"Time Debt" by C V L T S CVLTS consolidate - effectively, I might add - several persuasions with "Time Debt," and I've been trying to figure out just what to compare it to. Here are a few thoughts: Mogwai ... Continue reading
![[Listen] C V L T S: "Under Yr Spell"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4091376_lg.jpg)
El misterioso proyecto cuya fascinacion por los triangulos es mas que evidente, C V L T S, acaba de editar un nuevo EP titulado "Foam Daze" y aunque este es uno de esos materiales que pueden pasar por desapercibidos, les comento que tiene un par de cosas bastante brillantes y es por eso que me di a la tarea de traerles uno de los tracks que se hacen presentes a lo largo de este lanzamiento el cual quiero pensar, es unicamente la puerta de entrada para lo que sera el primer album de larga duracion de C V L T [...]
Another rainy Auckland morning is fitting for this new delicate CVLTS song. This one's from a split with Virgin Spirit ; real filmic and dozing on the usual ambient lilt. There are a bunch of remixes up at the bandcamp , and a very limited supply of shirts and 7" records is available at their website or from Mishka NYC . soundcloud
CVLT CLASSICS emerged recently with a solid little mix as prelude to their own material. When pressed for more however, they only deemed it fitting to pass on this cassette, which comes to you this evening as a really damn sick entry in the blog's ongoing podcast series. Their website claims, amongst other things, that they're from an island off the shore of Belize, but we remain skeptical. Though, as their introductory paragraph ends with "Through music we are going to gain our followers" it leaves, I'm sure, more than this blogger eagerly awaiting original material. [...]
Upcoming cocaine-fueled, cheap music aggregators, Cvlt Classics , install their first introductory ritual on their soundcloud .

Get on this CULT train and download their mixtape for free below... #1 by CVLT CLASSICS Tracklist :: Our Own Stuff Soon To Come, Use This For Your Rituals [...]
C V L T S — Pain Management The folks from C V L T S were kind enough to shoot us a copy of their Theta Distractions tape, the newest addition to Beer on the Rug ’s ever-growing catalog of zoned-out space jams. Intended as a an “aural document of pure energies captured within a vacuum, the release glides through 7 seamless vignettes of beautifully woven drones and hushed negative space. Appropriately, excerpt “Pain Management” offers a [...]
C V L T S' "Mirror Face" takes their quintessential sound-tracky minimal synth ambles and tunes them into a wind field of textural drone, and the results are utterly dreamy. C V L T S, "Mirror Face" The new release by the prolific midwestern project is called Theta Distractions, and it's streaming in its entirety at their bandcamp:
Very prolific Kansas-based one-man psychedelic noise adventure C V L T S is about to drop another cassette soon via his own Beer On The Rug imprint. Theta Distractions features seven heavily drugged-out cuts of layered drones and distorted synth incursions. A fabulous tape that probably is his tightest and most coherent to date. As of today, you may stream and buy the whole thing digitally over here . Watch this space for updates on the forthcoming physical release. Below, dive deep into the slow-burning eerie soundscapes [...]
With festivals every single weekend, it's hard to imagine that any one could be that different from the rest. But if nothing else, Chicago's two-year old Neon Marshmallow Festival proves that assumption so very wrong. The noise/drone/electronic/general ly avant-garde acts that pummeled the crowd for three nights won't be filling out even the earliest of slots at Coachella or Lollapalooza, and the fans who filed into work Monday morning with damaged ear drums and huge grins on their faces wouldn't want it any other way. Neon Marshmallow is, in a word, weird. In two words, delightfully weird. [...]
"No Ghost" has found it's match through video. Flashes of powerful imagery strikes toward the viewer without any hesitation whatsoever. What seems to be only stark black and white footage throughout suddenly becomes jolted with vibrant colors. Every second of the C V L T S video fits the song's aggressive direction of intense noise. Make sure to order the C V L T S / G O O D W I L L I E S split cassette over at Solid Melts .
C V L T S — No Ghost From C V L T S / G O O D W I L L I E S split c30, out 4/12 on Solid Melts via
C V L T S : No Ghost - Video/MP3 MP3
Here's the first cut from the upcoming C V L T S / Goodwillies split cassette on our dearest Kansas (currently Chicago, Illinois) imprint Solid Melts . The C V L T S track No Ghost is a terrific piece of merciless synth noise, with only a slow and eerie bassline and some almost melody-free acoustic guitar chords towards the end to ease the listener's anxiety. Already brilliant in itself, No Ghost becomes an outright masterpiece in combination with the (mildly NSFW) video by Synthesiae Films who turn the tune into [...]

Yesterday, I went a little Jahid Jiwa crazy (it's kind of hard not to) so, in his honor and C V L T S, James Ferraro and Ducktails, I figured I'd share some of their accomplishments with you.
