The Seven Fields of Aphelion — Periphery One of my favorite record labels, Graveface Records, went through a bit of a tragedy earlier in the year when parts of their catalog were damaged in a flood. This left some very good records unavailable — three of them: The Appleseed Cast's Two Conversations , The Seven Fields of Aphelion's Periphery , and Dreamend's Maybe We're Making God Sad and Lonely . With some great help, Graveface is now able to relaunch the records, and they're now taking preorders. Get them while you can. [...]
If you're a fan of Black Moth Super Rainbow (an odd bunch that we are) it is fairly safe to assume that you gobble up all the side projects that any of the members come out with. We have heard music from Tobacco (BMSR frontman,) and Seven Fields of Aphelion (BMSR keyboardist) but now we have BMSR guitarist Ryan Graveface's project called Dreamend . Take a listen to the track "Magnesium Light" off Dreamend [...]
Been a while but BTA lives. Here are six tracks to listen to this weekend. Big fan of Nas and Damian Marley's new album Distant Relatives . "Patience" samples the Damon Albarn produced "Sabali" from Amadou & Mariam 's 2008 album Welcome to Mali . The song may be one of the wisest I've heard from Nas, who doesn't necessarily speak the truth but suggests we be patient in discovering it. Damian asks why conventional western wisdom is so accepted. "Are we growing wiser, are we just growing tall?" All [...]
Black Moth Super Rainbows founding member Tobacco has just released a follow up to his 2008 solo record " Fucked Up Friends " entitled " Maniac Meat ". With spacey tracks like Motorlicker , erratic synths on TV All Greasy and heavy hitters like Beck featuring on this beauty I am going to have to give two big thumbs up for one of the most anticipated records of 2010. Take a listen, trust me it is well worth the time. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Download: [...]
The end of last year and the beginning of this year has been fairly busy with artists frequently releasing albums... presumably so they could have something new to bring to SXSW in Austin, TX. Mostly I've had plenty to get excited about and as a result, I've written at a pretty even pace. Its also pretty obvious that when you scroll down this page, you see me writing glowing review after glowing review. But where are the records that I didn't think much of? This post covers those disappointments. [...]

These textures are enigmatic, and their intent rests in peace. We gave Periphery some lovin' in November before taking it in full exposure, but now having been eagerly dosed with a full amount of the Seven Fields of Aphelion we're rolling down the largest hill in flavor country. Having taken to the timeless, it's no surprise that Black Moth Super Rainbow's Seven Fields has transformed the most minimal of keyboard and synth based compositions to an epic magnitude. There are contours to carry your sorrows, valley to push you through thought, and deep caverns [...]
Given the volume of music available for consideration on One Track Mind, we invariably have to pass on a lot of tasty morsels. [tweetmeme] In a desire to share even more great, free music with you, the Sunday Sampler will offer a handful of tracks without the usual critical and biographical write-up. Less talk, more tunes: Thunder Power "Heartifact" from the Hearts Intersect EP (to be released on 3/2) [ download ] [...]
With delicate wisps into your sub-soul, The Seven Fields of Aphelion's debut release Periphery can easily align your chakra like playdough. The subtle intermeshing of synth-tones and traveling piano lend themselves to ones most blissful baroque dreamscape provided by a former member of Pennsylvania's Black Moth Super Rainbow. Under the pseudonym of The Seven Fields of [...]
MP3: The Seven Fields of Aphelion - "Grown" We've knew that The Seven Fields of Aphelion (which is comprised of one of the members of Black Moth Super Rainbow ) released an album last week on Graveface Records. We've got another taste of the record above (a song entitled "Grown"), and if you check after the jump, there's a video for the song "Michigan Icarus." Now if only some tour dates were announced at some point soon, that would be some really good news!
Black Moth Super Rainbow have been all over our site lately with it's band member's side projects .. BMSR's frontman Tobacco is heading out on tour and releasing new material + their keyboardist, Seven Fields of Aphelion 's debut record, Periphery , was released earlier in February on Graveface! Check below for a new track by Black Moth and a video from Seven Fields of Aphelion . ------------------------- From Hand-Drawn Dracula : Vicious Circles Vol.1 brings together three artists' [...]
Is it just me or have the weeks somehow gotten shorter while also managing to get busier. After all, it's already Friday, but it comes after tons of festival announcements (Sasquatch! included), an attempted stabbing of Axl Rose , and the lineup unveiling for CoS SXSW Day Party #1 . Oy vey. Needless to say, this week's Friday Mixtape comes as a welcome relief! So, enjoy... after all, next week will be here before you know it! NEW Singles: "Red Seas" by Clogs [...]
An oddball week. No major highlights of note, but there might be a few for you collectors. The Acacia Strain have a new live DVD; both Baroness and Mastodon are releasing some 123 vinyl; Mumford & Sons has a new one; fans of Black Moth Super Rainbow should check out the debut solo LP from the group's pianist The Seven Fields of Aphelion ; Story of the Year is holding strong in the screamo department (or maybe not?); an unexpected full-length from [...]
There's a couple things you'd expect from a solo album of a member of the Black Moth Super Rainbow: vocoder, funky drum beats , and woozy analog synths. On BMSR's The Seven Fields of Aphelion 's new album Periphery , you only get the last one. Closer in sound to Emeralds or Stellar OM Source, Periphery is full of gorgeous ambient synth music that would probably have sounded as natural in 1985 as it does in 2010. On tracks like "Sunburst Chemicals," "Lake Feet," and "Mountain Mary," The Seven Fields of Aphelion plays real live piano, [...]
The Seven Fields Of Aphelion is set to release her debut solo album, "Periphery", later this month via Graveface. If you like nice soothing instrumental chillout tracks this one is for you. Grab two of the tracks from "Periphery" below. MP3 #1: The Seven Fields Of Aphelion - "Grown" MP3 #2: The Seven Fields Of Aphelio - "Mountain Mary"
Black Moth Super Rainbow member The Seven Fields of Aphelion is set to release her solo debut, Periphery, later this month on Graveface. The record is a collection of soothing "fragile ambient soundscapes" created using piano and vintage synths, which lend these floating sleep jams a warm, nostalgic glow.

The Seven Fields of Aphelion - Grown Från Pittsburgh kommer The Seven Fields of Aphelion som bjuder på instrumental musik som drar sig åt ambienthållet. Denna låt är en väldigt lugn och sansad historia med en keyboard, eller någon annan form av klaviatur, som gör den riktigt fin.
According to their myspace page , The Seven Fields of Aphelion is "a multiple exposure photographer as well as a music project. all photographs are taken on 35mm film and are not digitally altered in any way." The combination of the music and the photos is really a beautiful thing! TSFOA will be putting out an album on titled Periphery on February 16th through Graveface Records . :: Tracklist :: 1. slow subtraction 2. grown 3. pale prophecy 4. wildflower wood 5. cloud forest [...]
Sweden's Taken By Trees just released a new single for one of our favorite songs of '09, "Anna." In addition to the gorgeous album version, the single also features an "Annacapella" which highlights Panda Bear's soaring vocal contribution (remixes, please), and this sparse, thoroughly hypnotic reverb-drowned version. Get the single here. taken by trees :: annanass ****** elsewhere: Our... click through for more...
XLR8R brought to our attention an offspring of Black Moth Super Rainbow's live configuration. The Seven Fields of Aphelion present what might happen when those creatures of Tobacco land who spend their days nodding their heads and ingesting mushrooms finally ascend that super rainbow of black moths towards a plane of being that, if not higher in some interpretations of the word, certainly rains down on its listeners from the ...
