The Midwest excoticism movement has spread to Minneapolis. The trio making up Food Pyramid are on a motorik train to Tangiers by way of Germany on their full length debut Mango Sunrise. The sprawling explorations within the record indicate they took the long way through Istanbul, Egypt and Tunisia, rather than towards Spain and boating across the Strait of Gibralter. Opener "Mango Sunrise" is krautrock by the numbers, and there's nothing wrong with that. Its pristine glisten invit...

Moon Glyph's sonic explorers Food Pyramid invade 89.3 The Current's studios, their debut Mango Sunrise , out now.
It is fitting that we hear of Jean Giraud's (aka Mœbius) passing away under a clear & warm spring sky, akin to those he so deftly depicted in his fantastic illustrations. We feel a great sadness, as if a gate into awesome universes had shut down forever. We feel gratitude that it ever opened, and also hope, for those things that have happened once may happen again. We tap into an imaginative core that his transmissions so strengthened, and know ourselves perched atop a colossally curved temple of Faberge-egg filigree, overlooking the three dimensional traffic lanes [...]
Food Pyramid // Mango Sunrise I don't know if you got a chance to check out Food Pyramid 's loving, three-cassette-long ode to spaced-out krautrock but if you didn't you sorely missed out. Don't fret, they're still readily available. I myself stepped in around the time that the band was releasing II and I've been enthralled with them ever since. To my utter elation Moon Glyph is releasing the band's newest LP Mango Sunrise . The name alone in conjunction [...]
Food Pyramid - "Oh Mercy" To get a handle on what Food Pyramid 's tremendous LP debut for Moon Glyph sounds like, all you have to do is gaze into that smoothly psychedelic album sleeve—a slab of swirling pastel colors that looks like it's been left in the sun too long. Colorful, bizarre, and totally hypnotizing, Mango Sunrise follows up FP's singular string of cassettes in epic fashion, stretching their elastic, kraut-flavored grooves into 45 minutes of mellow gold. Sink [...]

Given our name, it's no secret that we gorge on electronic sound, be it discomforting or transcendent. Guttural or sublime. We're forever wary of confirmation bias but this year does seem to have seen wave upon wave of synth based music. Not just music that features a synth but music that's built around the synth, great cathedrals constructed to encapsulate the idea of making synthetic sounds that by their design are alien and other . Except, they're not anymore. Thirty years of indoctrination has made the music of the synths mean something else. A piece of retro nostalgia at one [...]
Minneapolis Food Pyramid & Chicago's Deep Earth share a split 7inch "Kollider / Kontraband", on Moon Glyph. Exploratory synths and future space textures bring a double shot of awesomeness. Deep Earth - Kontraband" -mp3
We're delighted to share half of the split from "like-minded midwestern synth giants" Food Pyramid and Deep Earth , the latest release from expansive Minneapolis label Moon Glyph who offers more insight below. Few pairings are as intuitive & fulfilling as the synthesized monoliths of Food Pyramid & Deep Earth. For Food Pyramid's first tune on vinyl, "Kollider" perfects their crescendo. They've coalesced the insistent beat of Chicago house with an otherworldly fuzzed-out guitar to ultimately finalize its mass with a glorious percussive smear. Deep Earth's side, "Kontraband", relies upon [...]
With Record Store Day's Black Friday sales just around the corner, Moon Glyph is issuing a new split 7" from labelmates Food Pyramid and Deep Earth, Kollider / Kontraband, which marks the first time
Food Pyramid , Holly Newsom and No Man's String Band are celebrating Burger Night tonight at Old Arizona. This is a pretty real event: Susan Christiansen of Chubby Girl Cheesecakes will be on hand-selling her new creation, "Teasecakes" (chocolate covered cheesecake on a stick) and the host of the event, John Blue, will be making what he claims to be the "Best Burger In Minneapolis." Plus, it's always good to support local beef — here's to hoping they make veggie [...]
We're halfway through the year 2011 and December 21, 2012 is only 502 days away. No matter where we lie on the range of eschatological beliefs associated with the 2012 Phenomenon – even if we deem the whole preoccupation ludicrous – it's almost certain to be further infiltrating our awareness as 12/21/12 grows nearer. While many predict transformative events in an apocalyptic form to occur, a New Age interpretation is that the 2012 winter solstice will be harbinger to a cosmically enlightened spiritual metamorphosis in which mankind will transcend both time and space. Minneapolis [...]

Ideas for sacred cows and discourse: The term krautrock is itself a derogatory and racist category invented by English music journalists. Tangerine dream is the music your dad/weird uncle/granddad made in their bedroom and kept trying to make you listen to. Faust were signed by Richard Branson, and their song Krautock is an in-joke on those who don't know what krautock actually is. Conny Plank produced A Flock of Seagulls, Clannad and Ultravox's Vienna. Neu! - to the untrained ear - could easily pass for a new age relaxation/birthing tape. [...]
Yesterday, Steve Rosborough from the stellar Minneapolis, Minnesota imprint Moon Glyph sent over Last Shuttle to the Red Planet , a track from Food Pyramid 's latest effort III , out now on a C40 tape and up for ordering over here . To no surprise, the aptly titled album is the final piece in the Food Pyramid cassette trilogy. I and II already blew our minds, so we're delighted to see that the Minneapolis trio is once again blessing us with terrific, kraut and kosmische-inspired psych compositions that appear [...]
