Brad Pot - Brad Pot - VINYL LP

The music of Black to Comm is as powerfully intoxicating as it is subtly unnerving. The solo project of shapeshifting German producer and sound artist Marc Richter, his mastery of sonic manipulation is matched only by his astounding clarity of vision. Following the acclaimed Seven Horses For Seven Kings released just a year ago, Oocyte Oil and Stolen Androgens applies Richter's wild imagination to an exploration of the human voice, standing as some of his most immediate and affecting music to date. Each of his phantasmagoric works is meticulously constructed from an omnivorous array of smudged samples and other sonic detritus, painstakingly collected by Richter from across the history of recorded music or his immediate environment and altered into beguiling new shapes. Sound sources seem tantalizingly familiar and yet often just out of reach, flickering at the edges of the subconscious.1 Gustav Metzger as Erwin Piscator, Gera, January 19152 Stolen Androgens3 Oocyte Oil4 Gepackte Zeit (für Hanne Darboven)5 Rataplan, Rataplan, Rataplan (Arms and Legs Flying in the Air)6 With Mary Mother and Bridges Four

A fresh chapter takes soft, sure shape for Cape Town-based singer-songwriter Wren Hinds on his new album, Don't Die In The Bundu. A gleaming set of gently dappled and poetic songs about fatherhood and fortitude, the album roots it's restrained strength in an innate understanding of what matters most to us InchLet's get back to the heart of things,Inch sings Wren, sounding out a statement of intent. His first three albums were exploratory snapshots of possibilities and influences. The songs of Tragedy Hill and A Thousand Hearts resemble dreams of the music from Wren's childhood - The Everly Brothers, The Carter Family and The Beach Boys. On A Child's Chant for the New Millennium, Wren longs for connection in a world tilted towards digital disconnection, counterpointing the shadows with luminous artistry. Recorded at a timber cabin in the South Peninsula mountainside, about 40km outside of Cape Town, Don't Die in the Bundu is at once a natural evolution and a statement of commitment, embedded in it's title. InchThis album and the underlying theme are definitely about making it through the hard times, and that strength and resilience is indeed somewhere at it's core.Inch Richly subtle, deeply inquisitive, Don't Die in the Bundu illustrates Wren's preference beautifully.

Vinyl LP pressing. Pod Blotz began in 2002 and has released over 25 cassette and vinyl releases. Over the years the project has included a number of guest members and performance artists, but has solely remained the brainchild of Suzy Poling. The prolific experimentalist now makes her Dais debut with the emotionally crushing Transdimensional System. Recorded at Poling's downtown LA studio and produced at Seahorse Sound Studios, Poling made use of sounds and samples collected from the Vintage Synthesizer Museum in Oakland, CA. The record twists and turns throughout space like a writhing exorcism unfurling upon the unsuspecting listener. It's a journey about beauty, and the complexity of post-human existence through a cathartic lens of churning rhythms and haunting vocal work. Album Tracks 1. Pain Is a Door 2. Industrialized Living Effects 3. Extrasensory 4. Unified Totality 5. Life Like An Electric Surge 6. Double Helix 7. Lights in the Middle of Nowhere 8. Transforming Dna
