The Parallax View , aside from being a 1974 thriller, is the musical project of New Jerey's own Tyler Koykas. What makes this project run is Koykas' determination to make his music get off the ground and in to your ears. Just by listening through his short (but sweet) catalog on bandcamp , you can see how the project has already begun to evolve! What started with The Flow Of Things (Early and Unfinished Works) , an early experimentation of ambient sounds, lo-fi electronics, and different organ tones, has now become a more cohesive force with his [...]

Black Moth Super Rainbow's Tobacco -- who released an amazing solo record last year as well -- knows his way around a vocoder. No matter how often he says he wants to get away from it, there it is, smack-dab in the middle of everything he does. "Don't You Want to Be in a Cult," the A-side of a 12" pic-disc that came out in early 2009 on Mexican Summer Records, flaunts vocoder bliss like diamond wrist watches in downtown Zoo York. The vocoder blings , for god's sake. This ongoing [...]

It's an honor to present an interview with Tobacco covering the dichotomy between Tobacco and Black Moth Super Rainbow , as well as touching upon earlier works and hinting towards the future. As satanstompingcaterpillars , an introduction to lo-fi synth-pop was made and as Black Moth Super Rainbow grew from the ashes, several good men and women stronger, the music has not only gained in appreciators but taken on a unique form of production different from any other music being made today. Without spilling our collective hearts out and continuing with words which do no justice, [...]

Coming from Los Angeles the 'snow day' is nothing but a mythical being that I could only one day wish to experience. Well, March 2, I just want to wish you and the world a happy snow day! Classes here in New York are cancelled leaving me with nothing to do but catch a few more z's and present a mini-mixtape of relevant tunes that I really enjoy. A special track in here is from one of FMLY's closest FRNDS, Timothy Rabbit , who you may know at the bassist of The Morning Benders . We've known Tim [...]

At first it seems like just noise, but keep listening. There is a song there. It is buried. The new Power Pill Fist is, well, challenging. Entitled White Noise Fury, it was recorded live to tape using Atari 2600 and synth noise with Moog/sequencer provided by Dorosoto . Street Date is December 2, 2008. Expect some, uh, white noise. Listen: "Pauliesphere" (mp3) WARNING: this make happen to you... Myspace page is here . BMSR is BMSR [...]

It's not often something comes along that is experimental: Power Pill Fist creates a unique combination of hearty synthesizers and, well, more synthesizers for a sound recalls noise rock, chiptune, industrial, ambient, and so much more. Power Pill Fist, though, isn't for everyone - not all people equally enjoy being sonically assaulted when they listen [...]
