Au - 'Are Animals' You may have heard of Au , an experimental pop band from Portland. This song sounds a little like Animal Collective I'll admit, but do AC have a 20-strong vocal chorus? No? Well Au do, I shit you not. This is from their album [...]

It seems with the nice change in weather has brought about more than sunshine, as it appears to be the mix season as well. Engine7 has sent the first of three exclusive guest mixes for Boring Machines and it's entitled, " Songs For Children ". This ties in nicely with the theme of his forthcoming album, " Me, But Perfect ", and also serves as an insight into the music that has inspired him of late. Tracklisting 1.

Quite a lot of Herb Recordings news to digest here, but I'll give it a bash. Firstly, the innovative Scottish label has released full details of their two latest signees, Engine 7 and Skytree. Meanwhile, Solipsism have made 4 unreleased ambient tracks available for download and Kingbastard has uploaded some older material. Skytree Skytree is the work of Evan Snyder, an Afro-wielding Minnesota-based musician who mixes folk with IDM in his own experimental way. Having released [...]
