But today's soundtrack for me is the debut vinyl release of Lee Noble whose cassette works most of us are already familiar with. His soundscapes are quite similar to the hazy & psychedelic scapes by Grouper, but also features some primitive electronic beats on songs like Crypticism and Parents. I've gone through it twice now since the morning. Very charming and highly recommended. The opener "Your Privilige" via Reviler .
Here's an upcoming track called 'NO Highway' by Ensemble Economique .
Zs - 33, Out on Northern Spy . "If Mark Rothko were in Tinariwen when ZS were all growing up in DC as high school students in the early nineties, they might have made this record, and opened for Nation of Ulysses. If Ellsworth Kelly had taken up the banjo instead of painting, if Barnet Newman was a gangster rapper, they may have come up with aural musing such as these"
The new Colin Stetson EP, Those Who Didn't Run, is now available for streaming on Constellation Records' SoundCloud page . There are two ten-minute tracks on this monster, which is an exercise in attention span that not even Stetson's last album asked listeners to endure. Not to make this EP sound like a chore. This dude's approach to solo saxophone pieces are a mind-boggling treat, and this EP is a raw, uninterrupted listen to that.
Brass Waves and Orphic Claps Mix by The Soft Really psyched to see The Soft this upcoming Saturday at our club night LEAD SOUP (check the FB event ). Their sparse, dubby, shoegazed, ethereal synth pop is not gonna be a secret for much longer. This is Fake DIY are talking about them and they've been getting some overseas props from the Spanish arm of Vice. [...]

Gold Panda explores different soundscapes in An Iceberg Hurled Northwards Through Clouds , the opening track of his forthcoming DJ-Kicks installment. It's still wobbly and has some baller beats, plus it reminds me of the minimal techno Pantha du Prince is known/loved for.

Voices from the primal ether emerge, and dead flesh comes living. This piece by Jeff Sampson, using trombone sounds by Mystified, is a precursor to a longer, more involved collaboration due out later in 2011. For now, please enjoy this piece, with all the power and potential it holds. http://treetrunkrecords.wordpr ess.com/2011/09/01/jeff-sampso n-with-mystified-corpse-raiser -treetrunk-167/ 01 Corpse Raiser http://www.archive.org/details /Corpse_Raiser deepgoa.blogspot.com underground music guide _________ © dg , 2011

"The sequentially titled pieces in Piano Textures, by the Argentine contemporary composer, Bruno Sanfilippo, are nothing short of a gorgeous composition. Period. Simple and elegant, mesmerizing and haunting, the multi-velocity sampled 1923 Steinway shines as the most versatile instrument in the ensemble. And it shines in the hands of Sanfilippo, who received a degree as a Music Superior Professor in the Galvani Conservatory in Buenos Aires." Headphone Commute

Amazingly, with each release, the Complex Silence Series keeps evolving. The next step in the evolution is upon you now--a beautiful ambient rendition from one of the genre's newest Masters, Brin Coleman, who records as Bing Satellites. Brin writes of this piece: "This recording is an excerpt from a larger theoretical work. The music is performed on two instruments, each playing fourteen different notes on a continuous loop. The length of each loop differs slightly (from just under 1 minute 17 seconds to just over 1 [...]
Frank Yang The last time Philadelphia's The War On Drugs were in town was as support for Destroyer , and by drafting on the interest in the "Best New Music" -ed Kaputt , played to a sold-out Lee's Palace . This time out, they were headlining the smaller digs at the Drake Underground but were again buoyed by some Pitchfork love with the same seal of approval being awarded to their just-released second full-length, Slave Ambient . As [...]
On September 13th, black metal experimentalists Wolves In the Throne room will be dropping a new album via Southern Lord: Celestial Lineage . And to be honest, I wasn't sure if I was gonna be looking to this one. I wasn't a fan of the band's output since 20082s Two Hunters , and it's mostly because the band had drained its sound of the atmospheric textures that made it so interesting in the first place. What makes the situation funniest is WITTR seemed to be jumping off the atmospheric black metal wagon as loads of unknown bands were [...]
![[treetrunk 164] Second Thought – Leaf Pass](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3646528_lg.jpg)
"Leaf Pass is the fifth and final Second Thought album. The record acts as a prequel to the debut (2004′s Purlieu), exploring a countryside setting in a mellow, sunny style, but slowly becoming darker and more sinister as it progresses. Samples, percussion and occasional synths combine with acoustic instrumentation and field recordings to provide an electro-acoustic listening experience. The prequel concept brings the series of albums full circle and wraps up the Second Thought project perfectly. An accompanying story to the album can be read at Second Thought's official website."–2011, Ross Baker http://treetrunkrecords.wordpr ess.com/2011/08/13/second-thou ght-leaf-pass-treetrunk-164/ [...]

From parts unknown dwell the ghastly duo. Matter ov Fact & EP are noted to be the last two descendants of the Rap Lords, summoned to the earth for purposes of wreaking havoc. Doing so with raw word connection over warm, gritty soundscapes, the groggy pack have been spotted smoking microphone devices in the New York Metropolitan area. No [...]

Sounding like the perfect soundtrack to a weirdy, foreign cartoon that's up for many awards you've never heard of! Here's Valentin Stip 's new release on Nicolas Jaar's small label. You can hear the rest of the EP here , and thoroughly I recommend you do. Born in France, Val grew up with classical piano training in New York City. He received formal lessons, studied in conservatories and had all the makings of a rising concerto performer. When he moved to Montreal in the fall of 2009, Val lost sight of the instrument that defined his adolescence. The regularity of [...]
Lakes by Postdrome Postdrome is UK noise and drone artist Charlie Floyd. It was pretty difficult finding much on him outside of this album, too. Charlie Floyd also shares his name with a semi-famous country singer; plus, "postdrome" is a clinical term used to describe the after effects of a migraine. So I can only truly guess this guy's level of experience with this type of music. And whether it's creating, or just simply listening, my guess would be plenty. The range of sounds Postdrome offers on its debut release, Never [...]
