Released a week or so ago, A Psychedelic Guide to Monsterism Island is the next step in the Monsterism Saga and an impressive display of "compilation as art". Short spoken interludes? check. The best arrangement out of a myriad of others? check. A fusion of vintage obscurities, well established new bands, and bands no one has heard?. check. Awesome theme? Check! Cardiff based cratedigger and visual artist Pete Fowler 's bag of goodies is a 27 song deep bag (if you count the interludes) of folk, exotica, guitar based psychedelia and synth music featuring [...]
Como platicaba ayer, el nuevo disco de los Super Furry Animals cuenta con trabajo en portada por parte de Pete Fowler quien desde hace tiempo viene colaborando con ellos. Es también de la ciudad de Cardiff y es un artista gráfico dedicado a la creación de monstruos que encuentran sus orígenes sobre todo en el folklore local. Ha llevado su arte a otros terrenos más allá de la ilustración y ha hecho esculturas, animaciones, pinturas, juguetes , etc. La complejidad de la obra de Fowler va más allá de lo que vemos en [...]
I was reading last month's issue of Under the Radar Magazine (The one that has Fleet Foxes on the cover. Btw, Robin Pecknold has him some beautiful eyes. But that's a different post for a different day...). Under the Radar is a font of info for any music lovers out there. In it, Jim Noir was talking up his favorites of last year including The Advisory Circle, AKA Jon Brooks (along with some help from George Vert and the King of Woolworth). It's all very trippy synth music [...]
Hype Machine's doing a Music Blog Zeitgeist for 2008 and December 15th is the last day of submission. We'll be posting a more in depth review of 2008 in the coming days as there's still a bit of a backlog to listen to, but here's our preliminary top 10 subject to minor changes. 2008 was a good year with lots of great albums, but there wasn't a definitive best even among the top 10, perhaps the age of perfectionism is a bygone dream. Enjoy! The image is of Lehman Brothers CEO Fuld . One of the biggest [...]
As you know, I'm super obsessed with Ghost Box, and just this week the collective dropped three delicious new tracks for their subscribers (it's free, so you should sign up). I can't stop, won't stop talking about the mighty Ghost Box - who, as I've mentioned before, are more or less the most prolific collectors and composers "library music." That is, all the Ghost Box artists sample, reconstruct, and rebuild the sounds of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and turn it into the springboard for their deep, spacious, glacial psychedelic electronic glitch movements. I [...]
We're a huge fan of Ghost Box and the nostalgic aesthetic of their output which brings libraries, victorian buildings, steampunk and old hauntologic memories to mind. I've been a few months late in figuring out that The Advisory Circle aka Jon Brooks aka King of Woolworths has a new one called Other Channels out. I should have subscribed to their newsletter earlier! The Advisory Circle has a similar aesthetic as Belbury Poly and The Focus Group , [...]

I recently came across this really phenomenal UK record label, Ghost Box . The label's "manifesto" of sorts is as follows ... Ghost Box is an independent music label for artists that find inspiration in library music albums, folklore, vintage electronics, and the school music room. Interesting, huh? Truly, these guys are releasing some awesome stuff. The label's signed four groups ( the Focus Group being my favorite), all of which sound similar to like, Broadcast. It's old 60s psychedelic lounge sort of stuff ... perfect to explicate and analyze, but also perfect to [...]
