Web Rumors — Travelling Circuits

The new Web Rumors record is Travelling Circuits, out on the Group Therapy label.

It is a fascinating investigation of English folk song and 80s dance production. A long connection between these genres and Web Rumors adds a certain depth and weight to the project. The production is really smooth and warm and there’s also a nice sing-ability to the result.

Travelling Circuits is the RTRFM Feature Release for the week starting Sept 9th, 2024.

This one’s fittingly out on cassette too!

DEHNOE + L0k + Peter Panspermia — Blue Diesel

The long awaited Lunch Records collaboration between Peter Panspermia, L0k and DEHNOE is out now in full.

This is a record full of twisted layers cascading over one another, eventually converging to a dense, detailed, yet expansive work. Holding everything together is a foregrounding of texture and groove throughout as well as the humorous, honest, and not precious nature of certain elements in the tunes. The fun and energy that it is evident in all these producers’ solo work is amplified by the collaboration.

Lima / O'Connor / Pbbbt — Orchrogaster Lunifer's Ritual

New release from Mystery & Wonder, the first meeting of Elizabeth Lima, Dan O’Connor, and Sage Pbbbt. It is wild improvised music from voice, voices, and trumpet, vibe captured by the liner notes:

These congregating caterpillars are even more dangerous than they look. Melodies and snarls and growls. Controlled and precise and ridiculous. Processionary caterpillars in action, doing what they do best. There is strenuous silence here amongst an at times dense and confronting cacophony.

Odlaw — Friends Lose Friends

Out now on Blue Grey Pink is the latest from Odlaw, ‘Friends Lose Friends.’

This one’s a moving work that I find impossible to listen through without a tear in the eye. It’s beautifully poignant, resonating on a very human feeling of loss that patiently evolves into an uplifting call for connection. The carefully crafted, simple language and sympathetic arrangement allow the listener to incorporate their own experience in the listening, making for a very real emotional reaction.

DEHNOE + L0k + Peter Panspermia — BLOOM and Prepare for Flight

A pair of singles from the upcoming Blue Diesel record, a collab between Peter Panspermia, L0k and DEHNOE, out on the Lunch Records label.

Vocals drive both these tunes, a kind of raw, off the cuff performance style float amidst crunchy guitars on ‘BLOOM.’ On ‘Prepare for Flight’ guitars giveaway to processed drums and a smoother, highly processed vocal. The way this collective of producers force together a vastness of influence is really fun and free wheeling.
