Nick Butcher: The Complicated Bicycle: Anniversary Edition - Hometapes [$20.00] Inspired by a move to Chicago, Nick Butcher combined his two passions, making pictures and recording music; the end result was The Complicated Bicycle, a 24-page hand screened book filled with pictures of crudely drawn airplanes, bicycles and houses copied, cut up, rearranged and copied again. Accompanying this book is an original 8-track album with songs featuring dying keyboards, air organ, and guitar which were recorded to cassette tapes and primitive samplers, giving it an...
wir hatten erst kürzlich auf hometapes aufmerksam gemacht, den zusammenhang stellten megafaun her. sie reiten ihrem neuen album entgegen, hometapes hievten sie dafür auf die gäule. dass das label eine menge mehr draufhat, wollen wir beweisen, in dem wir Euch einige der angebotenen pretiosen zu gehör bringen. ich möchte dabei kaum mehr auf die einzelnen kapellen eingehen, weil doch die musik deutlich für sich spricht. außerdem hat die erfahrung gezeigt, dass die viele arbeit ohne reflexion blieb. das ist es dann nicht unbedingt wert. ansonsten gilt es auf [...]
hometapes : "…that makes me realize every day the freedom I'm fighting for." - Nadine Nakanishi Nick Butcher and Nadine Nakanishi are SONNENZIMMER . Based in Chicago, they've been a part of the family for almost as long as we can remember…always orbiting nearly a half-continent away, always making things that knock us clean off our feet and into artistic ecstasy. And that's just when we look at their website. Daniel Sinker, founder of the late, [...]
![Nick Butcher [Feature Band]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1383374_lg.jpg)
Written by Fense Nick Butcher is youthful but balding; he's thin with a very natural, normal look. One would hardly expect him to be the mastermind of a minimalist-experimental-electr onic outfit. But he is. That his appearance is more fitting for a talegate party than this just goes to show that looks can be deceiving. While some of Butcher's material is more discernible with beats and various noises and rhythm, "Shape Note Singing" is merely that, minus the singing. There's a definite shape [...]

The conventional methods of entertainment have certain rules that are not to be broken: one must be witty, one must be forthright, one must push your ideas on an ignorant public so they think you are cool. Nick Butcher breaks every single one of those rules. If you listen closely to Nick's stripped album, you will be taken on a journey. His use of simple rhythms, repetitious sounds, pulsing snaps, crackles and pops will put you into a productive trance. You will recall your most simple, childish memories: catching lightning bugs, getting your first set of stitches, and inspecting the [...]
