THE BOOKS - THE WAY OUT

Produced and recorded in the Books' home studio, “The Way Out” continues their tradition of patching together an astounding array of found sounds into a cohesive work.

School of Seven Bells




SCHOOL OF SEVEN BELLS - DISCONNECT FROM DESIRE

School of Seven Bells is Ben Curtis (formerly of the Secret Machines) and twin vocalists Claudia and Alejandra Deheza (both formerly in the band On!Air!Library!). Their latest album is “Disconnect From Desire,” and it is a dream-popper’s dream. My favorite album of 2010 so far - a must listen!!

Every track is a winner, as far as I'm concerned, so start by checking out the opening track (Windstorm) here:

Gonjasufi - A Sufi & A Killer



A Sufi & A Killer is the debut album by Gonjasufi (Sumach Ecks), released by Warp. The album was produced by Flying Lotus, The Gaslamp Killer, and Mainframe.

Ecks said of the album, "I didn't want it to be too easy for the listener. I wanted it to hurt a little bit. I wanted it to get into a spot in the head that hasn't been hit." Of its title he said, "The Sufi side of life has helped me with my killer side so I try not to attach myself to any label. There's a Sufi and a killer in everybody, man, and I'll be whatever I have to be just to make it through."
