The smoke from the Canadian wildfires found its way down to southern Minnesota this weekend, so this episode comes to you with itchy eyes and the dank smell of a smoldering early morning campfire. But, I’m excited about all of the music featured on this installment, so that seemed to make up for the lingering odor that was hanging around the studio while recording this one. Of the new material played throughout this show, I’ve been particularly drawn to the experimental metal sounds of Drose, the crude cut-up tape work of Brian Ruryk, the oddball lo-fi pop of I Know I’m An Alien, the leftfield electronic pulsations of Driftmachine, and especially the latest release from FFF’s new dream duo, Neutral. There’s also some highlights on the archival front with an essential reissue of Henning Christiansen’s Requiem of Art fluxorum organum II Opus 50 out on Penultimate Press and Red Square’s Rare & Lost 70s Recordings recently surfacing on Guerssen. There’s lots of other amazing sounds scattered throughout, so go ahead and just bury your head in this installment. Hope you enjoy. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or comments. Thanks for looking and listening.
