Oval - Ah!

This new video for "Ah" from Oval's new disc O is pretty neat (shouldn't all song and album titles be monosyllabic?!). Watch in HD if you're brave!

I'm pretty late-to-the-game with Oval; I only recently became acquainted with his work, first hearing 94 Diskont earlier this year. (Still working through his discog.) It's interesting to see how his narcotized tone shreds and glitchy pastiche have given way to a more "user-friendly," less experimental approach. I wonder if his creative process is still somewhat aleatoric? In any event, bust out the headphones!

Tim Hecker

So there's a new Tim Hecker single out: "APONDALIFA," issued by Aussie label Room40. I'm not going to post the 8-minute long mp3 here-- just buy the limited 7" like I did and you will get a free accompanying download! I'm really sad that I missed him in Montreal earlier this month for the city's Mutek festival. Sigh. But this single is holding me over until he (hopefully) drops another epic LP of earth-shattering "tectonic colour plates."

Lukid - Chord

Artwork for Chord - the new upcoming Lukid record (debut on Werk Discs). In the meantime, I recommend his UStream radio show on Monday evenings (UK time).
