mirror to mirror - heart - ekhein - cass - 7$
Beautiful synthesizer by the fairly new moniker of Alex Twomey (Jugular Forest label). Perfectly paced, orchestral ambient music that takes you places far beyond the "sit and listen" approach so commonly utilized at the moment. Highly inspired by the weight that came along with the massive fires literally feet from his home in the angeles national forest this summer.
1958 - 2009 - II - ekhein - cass - 7$
Second in the series of collaborations between Alex Twomey (Mirror to Mirror) and Matthew Sullivan (Earn). Synthesizer and guitar ballads. Slow and hypnotic songs for the grieving process. Taking things a little slower. Building things a little bigger. Dedicated to Michael Jackson. 1958-2009.

Tense, string-heavy ambiance from the Providence, RI duo of Scott Reber (Work/Death) and Geoff Mullen (Rare Youth Label). Sounds residing somewhere between day and night, hard and soft, everything and nothing. Pinning the listener down without a single detail lost in the process.

The sound of separation. Two bodies walking in opposite directions. Once again Providence's Scott Reber takes complete control over his unique approach in abrasive melodicism. Truly saying something without words.

migrations in rust - seasons cast in pearl - ekhein - cass - 7$ sold out
Gorgeous drone works by New York's Jesse Allen (Cowards, Cathode Terror Secretion). In my opinion his finest work under the Migrations In Rust moniker. Perfect organic tones interweaving with no recognizable beginning or end. Losing track of time through sound.

Recorded in early spring. Originally intended as a tour-only release for east coast dates with Work/Death and Pedestrian Deposit. Without a doubt my most delicate and bare recordings. Recorded during a time of transition and worry. Realizing wherever you are you'll always be "Away" from someone or something.

Sounds from hell. Bleak optimism through electricity. Baltimore's Earth Crown pushes the ugliest sounds into surprisingly musical realms on this release. My favorite yet.

sean mccann - lower decks - ekhein - cass -7$ sold out
A collection of early recordings by San Fransisco's prolific Sean McCann. Oddly enough, these recordings sound as well executed and lush as some of his most recent work. Ranging from crystal clear drones to delicate piano pieces, field recordings you can't help but place somewhere familiar from your own youth and some of his most dense guitar work on tape yet . All in all a perfect reason to take a moment and look back on a simpler time.
