I dedicate this post to my pal, Kohwi - because I owe him a hang (or two), I missed his show this week in Brooklyn but I heard it was so good. I highly recommend you check out this compilation put together by GRLMTN - an Ann Arbor-based collective of musicians that do rad stuff together. This one features Kohwi, Chrome Sparks, and more. You can download it for free over at their bandcamp.]]> text/html 2012-07-18T18:40:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4397298/wow-my-friends-are-pretty-awesome-digital-label-absent-fever/

I am here to apologize for slightly detracting from your concert experience all year long. Why? I take photos at shows. I know it can be annoying. That said, I try my best to keep it to a minimum and usually don't use a flash (and then ramp up the contrast and exposure later). Here are my favorite 12 photos from 2011.

mp3: Nihiti - Pinko Morning Nihiti are probably one of the most mysterious and compelling bands working in New York right now. In the short time from their sprawling and epic ambient debut LP Other People's Memories to the stripped down elegance of recent ep Faced With Splendor , Nihiti have shown a unique diversity within their dark world of sonic landscapes. We thrilled and honored to have these guys at our first of three CMJ shows this week, Wednesday at Tandem Bar, Bushwick.

Our Brother The Native Rhythm Hymns (Kohwi Rework) Woah. Someone just poured acid on my rainstorm of a dream with this track. Spaced out in the best possible way. This is what being caught up in the moment feels like. Euphoric bliss x1million. Its one of those reworks where you listen to the original and you are like Fffffffuuuucccccckkk. Why havent I been listening to Kohwi ? Kid is destroying lives with his beats. Great work.

Medicine Hat Long Time Comin This track aint new, but this incandescent mix of ambient and synthesized jamz out of Ann Arbor, MI is. This entire mix takes you on a journey where visions of haunting vocals and twinkling beats dance in your head, then breaks you down and gets strange, only to pick you right back up and get you high like a 7th grader smokin a blunt for the very first time. Fuckin A. That was lovely. Now rinse and repeat and turn it [...]]]> text/html 2011-06-06T18:23:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3496146/chrome-sparks-heart-and-soul/
Chrome Sparks = Heart and Soul Theres been a lot of space on Smoke Dont Smoke inadvertently committed to the tunes coming from Ann Arbor, Michigan. Something that only over time do you find yourself wondering why there is such a concentrated collective of good music. Well when getting some serious hang time with Jeremy Malvin, aka Chrome Sparks , at SXSW this last year, he had brought up a great idea of putting together a compilation featuring some of these amazing artists.

Ann Arbor, Michigan electro wunderkind Cory Levinson aka Kohwi 's incredible full-length Hidden Trees was released late last year on cassette via the stellar Wonder Beard Tapes (and the tape is still available over here ). And though y'all know we're really into cassettes here at NFOP, the fact that Kohwi's fine work is about to get an additional vinyl treatment is nonetheless exciting news. This early summer, Black Tent Press will re-release Hidden Trees as an LP (that's the cover art above) with a bonus CD that [...]]]> text/html 2011-04-25T20:18:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3391916/interview-kohwi/
Wired - Islands (Kohwi Remix) kohwi - Reeling The Warmth Shortly before his big vinyl release I got the chance to Skype with Cory Levinson of Kohwi fame. Laughs were had, words were shared, and I bestow upon you the knowledge I gained from this endeavor. When did you start making music, is Kohwi your first project? Kind of a funny story, grew up skiing in Vermont. One winter I had weekend job working in a waffle hut by the chairlift.

The most recent of his designs is the TED, tangible electrophonic drumstick, which hosts a filter, pitch-shifter, and delay within that sweet shaft.

So, another Record Store Day come and gone. I made a few of purchases at Sound Fix and Permanent Records (and saw EULA play). I have to admit I was really not that motivated to gobble up RSD exclusives. I just bought a few albums that I knew I would want to listen to on vinyl (including one classic double LP ).
