nearly three years after the release of his debut album lucky shiner, gold panda returns with his second album half of where you live, to be released on ghostly international and his own notown label (uk). the album is the product of a period spent touring the world multiple times around, absorbing influences and probing potential new avenues of creative exploration.

the quietly pretty sounds of lucky are a highlight of the waiting room, seattle-based producer jeff mcilwains third full-length album for ghostly international. the tracks warm, immersive sounds are a fine representation of the abiding mood of the album as a whole, both soulful and groove-laden, sitting somewhere between electronic pop and experimentalism. for this single release, lucky comes with three remixes, all of which take different approaches to exploring the tracks reflective, downtempo mood

thomas mullarney and jacob gossett, aka brooklyn duo beacon, introduced themselves to the world with the no body and for now eps, both released last year on ghostly international. the eps were united by minimalist, r&b influenced instrumentation, and also by a lyrical theme, with both serving as meditations on the darkness that underpins the most intense of human emotions: love.

>a good friend of ours said after hearing an advance copy of this record that adult. used to sit on the sidelines and critique the idiosyncrasies of culture, but now we are on the inside, sending our message out.< so says adam lee miller of the way things fall, adult.s fifth album and a record that genuinely deserves the oft abused music industry epithet longawaited. miller pauses before adding wryly, >we agree.<

the deeply layered rhythms and atmospheric elements that refracted shows across the four tracks on along a ghostly trail make a perfect match for silent season, as the berlin based newcomer joining some illustrious company in the shape of stl, djorvin clain and edanticonf in contributing to the canadian labels rise. clouds of sub bass meld rhythmically with the stripped back percussive lilts of enlightenment as they traverse a scenic back drop of textural atmospherics, whilst the title track is similar in tone if imbued with a spectral feeling that justifies the name. contrasting this, both oo-koo-he and hyperdimension are gloopy bassline lead arrangements that slowly swell around the senses.

for now is the second ep by brooklyn duo beacon, five songs that continue the bands exploration of the dark spaces under the surface of human relationships. as with the bands debut ep no body, for now is a record that conceals a great deal of depth beneath a melodic veneer— again, there is a stark contrast between thomas mullarneys honeyed vocals and the words he is singing, although this time the mood is perhaps less sinister and more reflective.

recorded in dears home studio and mixed at nicolas vernhes rare book room studios in brooklyn, beams evokes a day-lit dreamworld at once strange and familiar. while the albums dancefloor-ready tempos, major keys, and sun-warmed synths signal beams as the lighter, brighter response to its predecessor, closer inspection reveals a squirming mass of oddball details. dears latest productions on beams creak and groan like anxious organisms, with slivers of guitar, electric bass, and drum kit darting in and out among the synths and samples. beams is the latest transmission from one of pop musics most fascinating creative minds. tour dates coming in nov and dec after recently performing live in may this year in select key cities.

ancient future is the second collaboration between visionary pianist ryuichi sakamoto and electronic pioneer christopher willits. built around a series of piano pieces that sakamoto sent to willits after the release of the duos first record together, 2008s ocean fire, the six tracks that make up ancient future are entirely instrumental—and yet, they speak about the very essence of what it means to be human. as a whole, ancient future functions as a piece about the creation, acceptance and completion of ones fate and all of lifes experiences, following a trajectory through inner conflict, resolution and, ultimately, acceptance.

in the context of shigetos debut lp lineage, >huron river drive< functions as a respite of sorts, a brief stop on the roadside of a very personal into the past. but as this single release proves, it also stands alone as a pleasantly understated piece of electronic beauty. the track swells slowly from the simple chord sequence of the intro into a lushly textured slice of late-night atmospherics – with more than a hint of jazz to be found in the brushed percussion and quietly tinkling electronic piano – and then receding back into the same sequence as the track draws to a close.

her fantasy is the second single to drop and lead single from beams. >do i feel love like all of the others or is this feeling only mine?< dear sings on the strutting track, later wondering >am i one heartbeat away from receiving a damaging shock to my life?< these are the words of a man with something to lose—love, stability, a burgeoning family. dear is growing up—reluctantly, maybe—and he wears his newfound lyrical maturity with grace.

gold panda war einer der newcomer im letzten jahr und weltweit auf jeder bestenliste dabei. gold pandas musik mag als ein scherbenhaufen aus knapp beschnittenen minisamples beginnen, aber was der junge londoner daraus zusammenkittet, ist alles andere als chaotisch und abweisend. Über lebendig pulsierenden beats verströmen wortlose songs wie you oder snow & taxis schimmer-charme en masse.

while many of com truises contemporaries mine nostalgia as an end unto itself, the princeton, nj bedroom producer (aka seth haley) recombines older musical forms as a means of expressing something deeper and more ambitious, building a carefully conceived picture of the artists vibrant inner world. the cyanide sisters ep, com truises first official release, was first available as a free download through am discs in june of 2010, ghostlys remastered and extended reissue of cyanide sisters nearly doubles its tracklist, making good on months of blog and music-critic enthusiasm and delving deeper into seth haleys synth-savvy project. with com truises proper full-length on the way, and a string of high-profile remixes for neon indian and twin shadow already in the can, the cyanide sisters ep is an electrifying introduction to a prodigious new talent.

the title track on tychos long-awaited dive lp is just that — a ripple effect record that sounds like three songs in one, as if sound/graphic designer scott hansen just discovered progrock and decided to apply its winding passages to his own singular blend of sinewy synths and bleached beats. its also the first tycho song to feature a prominent guest musician, guitarist zac brown, in this case, who paints outside the lines of hansens halcyon hooks with restless rhythms and monorail-like riffs. the >dive< single fleshes things out even further, as keep shelly in athens and memoryhouse — both rising underground artists in their own right — cut hansens cloud-scraping composition in half and slow his cruise control chords down to a crawl. the misty vocal melodies are still there, but they are now floating through an embryonic assembly of jittery cicadas, rusty gears, and lean loops that are both welcoming and a bit woozy. the sonic equivalent of staring at the sun for too long, really, or two sides of the same cracked mirror.

for the past decade or so, polish musician michal jacaszek has been exploring a new, resolutely modern chapter in eastern europes long, storied love affair with classical music. his creations are painstakingly crafted collages of electronic textures and baroque instrumentation, harpsichords being swarmed by woolly static one minute and pulled apart by billowing wind the next. ambient music - if we can generalize unnecessarily for a second - is rarely so sonically challenging.

what do you call musicians like com truise? he seems easy enough to pin down—throw out some words like nostalgia, synth-wave, eighties, and electro-funk and you will scrape by—but to be truly insightful about his music is tough, because art that is so blatantly referencing certain things in a certain way while also making them weird and new and unique is confusing. how do you classify something that is so obviously both vintage and current but is too fun to call postmodern? awesome is an option. especially when it sounds like you are driving the knight rider car through thick clouds of nitrous oxide, like >fairlight<, the title track from truises new single, which previously appeared on an iso50 comp called dry waves and also has this jarring, falling-all-over-itself middle section that prevents you from trancing out too hard. >beta eyes<, the track that follows, is even more restless, with a drum pattern that is fidgety and clustered, kicks and snares fighting each other like two drum and bass heads arguing over an atari remote. >polyhurt<, a narcotic, almost ballad-like closer that inevitably leaves you thinking, >now, how the hell am i going to describe that to someone?< the vinyl exclusive cut >colorvision< could be truises most dancefloor friendly track yet.
limited to 500 units worldwide (200 in europe).

originally released in 2008, glider is available for the first time on vinyl & includes exclusive remixes from biosphere & pantha du prince.

when talking about the music of com truise (one of the many pseudonyms of new jersey designer/musician seth haley), the nostalgia bit inevitably comes up, so lets get that out of the way. yes, his songs tap classic sci-fi and proto-electro in a way that is distinctly early eighties in scope. but they’re also remarkably weird--stutter-step proggy and intoxicatingly psychedelic, like those classic touchstones got drunk on lava lamp juice inside a pinball machine. after his well-received cyanide sisters ep, a grip of remixes for artists like twin shadow, neon indian, and, uh, daft punk, and a few floating mp3s, truises first lp, galactic melt, will finally enter brainspaces this summer.

smm: context is the first release in ghostly internationals new yearly compilation series of evocative, open-ended music. the artists on context span the globe, straddling the intersection between classical minimalism, electronic and drone composition, film soundtracks, and fragile imaginary landscapes. in other words, smm: context relies on its listener to fill in the blanks, providing real-world context for its darkly emotional sounds. limited 180 gram vinyl + heavyweight jacket + inner art sleeves. includes some of the most well-established names in the ambient / drone / modern classical / home listening genre.

pale sketcher (aka justin broadrick of jesu/godflesh fame) follows up his ghostly debut >jesu: pale sketches demixed< release with the ep, >seventh heaven<. broadrick covers a large palette of styles, discovering moods and rhythms that further expand the pale sketcher sound. it further solidifies his taste for electronic material that bled into his jesu project and solidifying pale sketcher as yet another legitimate project for this prolific artist. >seventh heaven< includes 4 brand new tracks that highlights a variety of influences from drum n bass and shoegaze to trip hop and dub. the lone remix is a dub meets trip hop sound reminiscent of trickys >maxinquaye< period from the legendary king midas sound. pale sketcher is clearly figuring out his next big step with the >seventh heaven< ep.

remixes von nicolas jaar und ed bangers boogie-revivalist breakbot! matthew dears black city is an opus of bacchanalian futurism, then second single >you put a smell on me< is its presumptive climax—an unblinking industrial march to the center of the brains most neglected corners. its drums are militant, its pace is unswerving, and the squarewave synths that start falling like mortar shells are searing and wide-eyed. then theres the marbled voice of dear himself, pent-up and sexually charged, beckoning you for a ride in his big black car. its the sound of staring down the part of yourself that you are most afraid of. if that seems too daunting, theres always the dub version. when mirrored through the eyes of others specifically wolf + lamb prodigy nicolas jaar and ed bangers resident boogie revivalist, breakbot — >you put a smell on me< starts to feel less lobotomizing. jaars version is a sullen, scratchy, headphone-ready beat trip—atmospheric vibraphone samples here, stilted kicks and snares there, all of it amorphously affecting together. and breakbot has no problem hamming it all up into the sort of blithe electro-funk every prom night deserves.

the first single taken from the well-received album >black city<, >little people (black city)< comes with the original version and a huge mark e cut.

more than most, jason amms work as solvent embodies the original ethos of >synth-pop<: hook-laden music built lovingly out of the buzz and hum of analogue synthesizers. solvents newest full-length on ghostly international - his first in nearly six years - is called subject to shift, and its title reflects the changing tone of amms music.

as the third single released in anticipation of scott hansen’s long-awaited full-length as tycho, “coastal brake” may be the best yet—a sweet slice of dream-beat that glides over the ocean surface like a high-speed waverider. “coastal brake”’s vintage synthesizers set the pointillistic scene, blipping and popping around a near-balearic rhythm like melancholy drops in a river, rising and falling and building to a shimmering climax. it’s not quite dance music—more like tycho’s soft-focus take on the escapist beauty of house music. the single’s three remixes do the original ample justice. danish producer (and syntaks collaborator) manual takes “coastal brake” at half-time and shoots it full of feedback, bringing a scorched-earth weight to the proceedings, while hatchback’s “cosmic caviar dub version” turns down the contrast and places the song in a cave full of drugged-out pianos. lusine hacks up “coastal brake” and repurposes the bits for his own stutter-stepping, downbeat funk. listen closely, and you’ll hear shards of “coastal brake” sparkling in between the beats. limited edition (1000 copies) of tychos >coastal brake< on 180 gram vinyl including alternate artwork poster. tycho is the music project of san francisco artist and producer scott hansen. as tycho, hansen blends swirling melodies into vaguely triumphant arcs that crisscross between stuttering beats and vocal samples, creating rolling sonic landscapes that extend into the horizon. known in the design world as iso50, hansen is famed for his bucolic, sun-drenched design style, which serves as a backdrop and mirror for his musical output.

the >murmur ep<, limited edition of 500 units in coloured vinyl, the sight belows followup to 2008s full-length glider, is a bracing step forward for the reclusive seattle-based artist, comprising two new songs and a notable remix. the sight below uses the murmur ep as an opportunity for expansion, turning up the contrast on his silky tones to expose an even more deeply textured sound with a powerful emotional effect. on the >murmur ep<, the textures are denser, courser—closer to kevin shields jagged oceans of guitar than gliders wisps of reverb — and the beats are meatier, funkier even. the sight below comes close to recording a real dance track with >murmur<, slipping a skipping syncopation and an honest-to-god bass line into a roiling cloud of distortion. >wishing me asleep< incorporates bits of strings into the mix for a touch of cinematic melancholy.
