Well the mail has arrived. Over the past two months I have been absolutely terrible at responding to people so if you're in that bunch I apologize! Because of all your support we received a plethora of great tracks- new and old. So before we get moving on into summer it's time to rewind and clean out the inbox. Hearing from artists and readers is exciting. I love comments and new music so being able to find both of those in one location is amazing. Feel free to get in touch with us anytime at aerialnoise@live.com . [...]
Bad Panda Records is a fellow in Rome that we've traded a couple emails with. He's on a personal mission to promote the music he loves, and what he calls the "free culture idea" through use of Creative Commons licenses. We get something from the Apennine Peninsula every week and now it's time to share [...]
It seems that me getting way behind on emails is becoming a regular thing, and it's resulting in me just dumping tracks like this. I know everyone wants a "feature", but on the bright side these are what I consider to be the best tracks that I've received over the past week and a half. [...]

Sometimes a crock of comedy gold just falls into your lap. Sometimes it is a hairy, confusing crock. For instance: the news story of a man who has been sneaking into a farm and having sex with a horse and a donkey. I don't know at which point buggering a donkey just doesn't cut it any more and the step up to having sex with a horse is the only remaining option, but this man passed it with brazen certainty. Regardless - a man having sex with animals [...]

It's not all that often the finale of gargantuan ten-minute tracks veers into view, let alone stumbling across ones that enslave your every sense throughout. What with the saplings of Spring finally burrowing through the stony soils of Europe, a rather special talent is blossoming over in Alabama, an experimental assault on the hallucinatory dance hall dins of Animal Collective and muted joys of Four Tet. Friendly Foliage is 19 year old Garrett Crosby. Seemingly obsessed by the aforementioned Baltimore dream renegades, after under two years of dabbling over in lush lo-fi electronica, Masonic Meadows is accomplished. And [...]

Friendly Foliage is a one-man experimental project from Alabama who has just released an one-off track called "Masonic Meadow" through Bad Panda Records . The track has this airy, ambient sound that incorporates beautiful piano melodies and a nostalgic vibe. Check it out below enjoY! Friendly Foilage - Masonic Meadows

Reading a press sheet for a 19 year old from Alabama who lists Animal Collective, Four Tet and Steve Reich as his primary influences makes me wonder, will music be celebratory and joyously noisey for the next couple years due to a few generations of teenagers' exposure to Merriweather Post Pavilion? Formative years can hang with you, even when you think you've matured well past their influence. Case in point, I still say "tight" on occasion and listen to Outsidaz bootlegs I downloaded from...

Who : Friendly Foliage from Huntsville, Alabama. What : Friendly Foliage is Garrett Crosby, a 19 year old currently attending the University of Montevallo, and a one-man experimental project from Alabama mainly influenced by Animal Collective - Four Tet - Steve Reich . Instruments used range from Guitar, Piano, Didgeridoo and Ukelele and he uses a wide range of field recordings to fill out the textural elements of his music. Love this stuff, reminds me of those old KC Accidental records I keep going back [...]

Friendly Foliage - Masonic Meadows Bad Panda Records sent this one-man project from Huntsville, AL over late last night, now it might of been that 2am haze, but I'm diggin' this. If you're an Animal Collective/Four Tet fan I think you might too. Oh and note it's a little on the long side, but if you're in a early morning haze it works.
