Finally, a show to get excited about. My friend Michael (formerly of Holy Spirits) will be hanging in my living room for the next couple of days because of his new project: Megafortress who are playing the Diamond Atlas showcase called Fortune with Teen Daze, Foxes in Fiction, Southern Shores and Tezeta. You've gotta come out to see Megafortress live, it is an experience. Find out more here and hopefully, see you tonight!

I'm back from Brooklyn and with that, I've been catching up on all the music I missed out on. It feels a little like when you're home sick from school then a whole bunch of stuff happens without you (if a sick day were, spending ten days in the best city on earth). But while I was away from the internet blogosphere I did happen to check out some in-real-life music in Brooklyn, one show in particular that I've been pretty excited about sharing. My friend Michael from the band Holy Spirits (RIP) has now joined Megafortress [...]

Megafortress' debut offers up a wide range of soundscapes to sink into. From Wikipedia: Chillwave: a genre of music whose artists are often characterized by their heavy use of effects processing, synthesizers, looping, sampling, and heavily filtered vocals with sim Music Player (reviews): [...]
Rather than pop along to an art gallery this Sunday why not check out the MEGAFORTRESS 's newest video for 'My Favorite Girl' . Heartbreaking visuals of a beauty for an abstract mp3. wotyougot
Se quedaron picados con lo que les puse la semana pasada de Megafortress ?, apuesto a que si, y no lo escucharon, pues apuesto a que no peeero, para eso estoy aqui. Hoy Software posteo el video oficial del segundo adelanto que podemos escuchar del album debut de Megafortress y, por si "Green Child" no era lo suficiente ambiental con estos coros vocales que parecian salidos desde lo mas profundo del oceano, ahora ya pueden checar algo un poco mas de estas texturas llenas de fantasia acompañadas de imagenes que vienen a complementar el concepto [...]
Last week, we posted " Green Child ," a track from the diffuse synth artist Bill Gillim, who records as Megafortress. Now, another track from Megafortress's forthcoming self-titled album has a video. In the "My Favorite Girl" clip, director Grant Nitsch supplies images just as still and abstract as the track itself. Watch it below. Read More...
Megafortress - My Favorite Girl One of the most heartbreaking works of staggering genius I've heard this year - " conceived as a series of fictional field recordings, and has transformed into a collection of gorgeous vocal meditations." #Chills. Get Bill Gillim 's new self-titled EP from Software Recording Co . megafortress : Here's the second of four videos that Grant Nitsch made for my new EP.

by Andrew Sacher Megafortress Megafortress (aka NYC musician Bill Gillim of Tigercity ) is releasing his self titled EP on January 31 via Ford & Lopatin's Mexican Summer imprint, Software. There's definitely a How to Dress Well vibe going on with Gillim's simultaneous understanding of ambient electronics and soaring falsetto vocals, but they differ in that Megafortress shies away from any type of beatwork, relying only on his voice, sampled bells, [...]
Software (the Mexican Summer imprint run by Ford & Lopatin) will release the self-titled debut EP of Megafortress on January 31. Green Child , taken from that EP, is a very delicate song with a falsetto that reaches heaven, a bit of a less hi-fi (but not lo-fi) version of Active Child with the water'y elements of Balam Acab. Watch the Grant Nitsch-directed video for Green Child above.

Bill Gillim es el tipo que le da vida a este proyecto de nombre Megafortress con el que ya lleva un rato haciendo musica aunque como es muy comun en estos dias: aun no habia editado su primer album de estudio y solamente se habia estado dedicando a ir lanzando algunos sencillos como carta de presentacion. Ahora, ya podemos anunciar con toda seguridad que este 31 de Enero estara lanzando su album debut y homonimo a traves del sello de Ford & Lopatin ' Software y si, no dudaria que esto no les sorprenda si es que [...]
Megafortress is the alias of synth artist Bill Gillim, and his self-titled album is coming later this month. Below, we've got a stream of "Green Child," which lays Gillim's unearthly falsetto over an impressionistic vintage-keyboard landscape. If Bon Iver ever recorded the score for a Michael Mann movie, something like this might be playing during the inevitable sunset-over-the-ocean scene. Read More...

More Software -related news towards the end of a week that has already brought us brilliant new material by label founder Joel Ford's Airbird and freshman Napolian . This time it's New York-based experimental project Megafortress , whose self-titled debut will be out on January 31, too. The man behind Megafortress is Bill Gillim aka one half of Tigercity (alongside Ford). "Green Child" is a contemplative and slow-burning, crystal-clear track that has nothing to do with the deranged proto-disco shredder of his peers Ford & Lopatin or, for that matter, [...]

Megafortress - Police Elevator I've recently become quite enamored with the prevailing winds of Megafortress , the one-man long song stationed in the blizzard that is New York. Slicing instances of life into breathing extended moments, this incredible fortress recapitulates the abstraction of a given environment. A development over time is devoted within these works, motifs sprinkled in a caress of foundation. Download more here .
Megafortress : Freedom For Fear - Video/MP3 MP3 - Megafortress: Freedom For Fear

Daily Doses: Megafortress "Police Elevator" From The Megafortress EP (2010) In this new EP from Megafortress (Aka Bill Gillim), it's impossible to ignore the monastery tone the album attains. Imagery of dark Gregorian chants, and robed figures that flitter past doorways seem imbued into the music until it emits those images so casually it's like light from a flame. This imagery gives the album, and especially the album opener "Police Elevator" a haunted edge that creeps about the wordless rising calls. It's the dark slowly giving [...]
