Video Premiere! Really love this album from Bill Brennan & Andy McNeill. Sudanese gamelan meets electronics, piano, and in this case, beautiful violin playing from Hugh Marsh. Watch "Tunnels of Light" over at Foxy Digitalis and pre-order the record that's out next week.

Video Premiere: Bill Brennan & Andy McNeill (feat. Hugh Marsh) “Tunnels of Light”

Bill Brennan and Andy McNeill spin in slow motion as “Tunnels of Light” opens, hypnotic tones flickering in captivating, choreographed sequences. The combination of Sudanese gamelan ins…

Charmaine Lee show last night was utterly mind boggling. Felt like my body was stretched apart and put back together in ways that made no sense. Genuinely never heard/felt anything like it. She's got a month left and if she comes near your town, you should really be going to see that.

Should also mention that Warren Realrider is joining Godseye for this set. I hope we fully relight the Godseye fire because even if it was always a sister project to Ajilvsga, I loved it in a different way. The last thing we recorded remains one of my favorite records I've ever made.

A Season In Hell, by Godseye

Killer show on Monday at Drifters in Tulsa. Charmaine Lee is rolling through. Godseye (Nathan Young, Eden Hemming, & myself) is reforming for the first time in 15 years to perform poems by Alejandra Pizarnik and Elizabeth Bishop. PLUS Sarah Ruth Alexander & White Boy Scream. COME THROUGH!

Talked with Zachary Cale about "Love's Work." We got into working with improvisers, John Fahey's approach to melody, and how loss shaped these pieces. I love this record and love this conversation..

Ted Hearne's new album "Farming" connects William Penn's colonial letters to Jeff Bezos's CEO speeches, using auto-tuned choirs and hyperpop chaos to excavate the mythologies we've built around progress, land, and technology. A conversation about making music that resists. @deathbombarc.bsky.social
