Music Recommendations

I thought it might be interesting to keep a chart of the new music I’ve been indulging in lately.

But first, a phone pic of my new guitar :)

Jr. telecaster


First up, a ‘new’ song by The Doors, found on some recordings made for LA Woman.



I’m enjoying Bitcrush quite a bit, moody, textured, emotive and lush music.



This tune by Lemon Jelly inspires me to reminisce about old ‘70s pick-up lines I never used (I swear). “If I could rearrange the alphabet, baby, I’d put U and I together.”



The Orb’s Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld turns 20. The Orb – Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld on Spotify.

Drowner, from Houston, is Fabulous Shoegazey Dream Pop. I know I’m hooked.



I recently remixed The Foreign Resort’s new song “Orange Glow.” Here is the entire EP. If you like good shoegazey new wave, this band from Denmark hits all the right spots.



Last, but not least, here’s a song I wrote a few years ago for “In Silico.” I wrote it while sitting at the Coffee House on Cherry Street. It was a nice vacation day, I recall.



That’s all for this round. See you next time.

MUSIC RECOMMENDATION: Astro-Sounds From Beyond the Year 2000

My friend Wilhelm played this album for me during a recent visit. It’s quite enjoyable, cheesy, and makes a great addition to the music library.

Novachild Remixes Chrysta Bell

I’ve been a busy body lately. And loving every minute of it.

First, I released Havia, my 7th studio album, which I’m sure you’re already familiar with since it’s plastered all over the site. You can also find it on CDBaby, iTunes and Amazon (soon on Spotify and others). I should also mention that your assistance getting me rated and reviewed on iTunes/Amazon is highly favored. It only takes a few seconds!

Second, I released the short EP “Evolution of Complex Beings.” I wanted to explore my penchant for synth without the complexities of session musicians and editing.

...and the single “Semra.”

Third, I’ve started obsessing over remixes.

First up, my take on Chrysta Bell’s “The Truth Is...” originally produced by David Lynch (he also plays guitar, and I got to fiddle around with his guitar track, which was cool).



Secondly, my take on some celtic lushness by Blissphemy:



Feedback is groovy. Since I tend to give away a ton of download codes on Facebook, you might also like to join me there.

Something Warm Single - "Need To Believe"

“Something Warm” is an indie Rock Band from Tulsa, OK. James McGowan, formerly of The Living Machines & the Heat Circle (and guest percussion on Novachild’s “Havia” ) asked me to make a demo of the band. Here is their first release, “Need To Believe.”

Music Recommendations

I’m constantly amazed with the level of quality in the Netlabel realm. Telafonica is no exception, rather, they are the rule.

Telafonica is a “complex web of permanent and transient members,” though my ears hear a level of sympatico and energy that rarely comes from tight-knit groups who live close and practice often. Read more about them here. Combining an experimental pop flair with bold beats, moody textures and rhythms processed from a place not unlike Earth but slightly more hyper-dimensional, Telafonica tickles my music-bone in a way that, say, Bjork can only do when collaborating with the likes of Matmos.



Next up, Sunna Gunnlaugs.

Long Pair Bond is the kind of Jazz that doesn’t hit you upside the head. Rather, the moody minimalism crawls slowly into the nervous system, draining away the tension that makes a person feel less than human, coaxing one gently into a cozy, warm space of comfortable sensuality. This is how Jazz will sound like in the afterlife. Love it.
