Paradoxal Pterodactyl

animals rule oslo is the once and future collaboration of david bell (jaded evil lambs, etc) and john forrest (sunwyrm, aluminum sasquatch trio).  Their performance from the last way out weirdo wednesday back on march 4th (did you parse that properly?  hmmm, probably...) is as yet their only recording, but no doubt not their last. how's that for a brief and concise blurb, eh?  lol.

"action permeates as fiber—an unwitting participant breathes and the act is suddenly thrown from a predicted path. resist urges to tighten constraint. re-imagine rigid systems as fluid opportunity: //instinct control// -- outmoded technologies, devices, pathways, turned upon themselves and us in new ways of being. metonymic transmitters and receivers all." this performance was recorded by davelybob at his 37th birthday party at the sorely missed kismet creative center (you can catch tommy slinging his vinyl at wax rats now if you wanna say hi and catch up). instinct control for this performance consisted of ryan t. dunn, his hands, a reel-to-reel player, his foot, a vcr, his other foot, and an answering machine. get more: instinctcontrol.bandcamp.com dig his other project, maoƟ: vimeo.com/457884363

hey!  a snacktime!  what a novel idea!  sure has been awhile since those were a regular thing!  why, i bet those pterodactyl boys are sitting on a whole heap of bright shiny eggs right now... one of the few pieces of good news in 2020 is the recently announced un-retirement of floridian friend of the podcast (and really interesting person to know if you are into gardening), travis johnson.  his compilation series & digital label poverty electronics is back to serve up more slammin' leftist experimental techno, hip hop, ambient, and noise (poverty electronics vol. 4 just dropped at the end of august) as well as his own project datewithdeath, which is currently taking pre-orders through 10/30 for the new album slow talker.  we are pleased to present an advance track from the album, thrush urn, which on 10/16 will be released as a single with exclusive remixes by teen smoking, all the stores are closed, mhzesent, and jukka-pekka kervinen!  it's fire, go check it all out at: povertyelectronics.bandcamp.com

Emerging from the ruins of acclaimed North Carolina ambient/drone duo Lost Trail, Nonconnah is the newest experiment in spaced-out instrumental sonics from Zachary and Denny Corsa. Named for a mysterious creek running along the borders of their new home of Memphis, the Corsas are now joined by multiple skilled collaborators in expanding Lost Trail’s heady blend of swirling shoegaze guitar layers, otherworldly field recordings, and eerie tape collages. The result is a series of fresh explorations into the dark attics and deepest fathoms of the world looming beyond this world, or at least fleeting glimpses through the thinning veil that hangs between them.  www.nonconnahdrone.com www.vimeo.com/nonconnah www.nonconnahordeath.bandcamp.com www.facebook.com/nonconnah www.twitter.com/nonconnahdrone www.soundcloud.com/nonconnah
