Thank you to ANTI: Music Review for the lovely write-up of “Blue Moon Frequency #2b [Summer Mix]” with Geiger von Müller and Paal-V. An excerpt:
…creative ingenuity modulates various sounds and ideas into the wonderfully mixed and compartmentalized fabric.
See the full review over on the blog.
Author Tyler Weaver of Parenthetical Recluse, a fascinating blog about music, movies, literature, running, Ohio election signage, and so much more, has asked me to contribute a monthly recommendation (probably, mostly, music, but maybe other stuff?) for his MacroParentheticals newsletter. The newsletter comes out every Sunday and is chock full of Tyler’s own current media consumption, musings, “fascinations, perspirations, and whatever else comes to mind,” plus pictures of Tyler’s adorable dogs. Here was my recommendation for July:
This week I’m captivated by Elysia Crampton Chuquimia’s ORCORARA 2010, which I first heard on Maya Kalev’s beautiful NTS show Emotional Landscapes. ORCORARA 2010 weaves electronic, folk, ambient, noise, and classical music with spoken poetry to follow “intergenerational trauma, fugitives of Christian violence in a twilight called Puruma, returning to Mama Cocha, the sea that theorists call Nowhere.” It’s truly unique and mesmerizing. And proceeds go to the American Indian Movement West / AIM SoCal chapters, so it’s for a good cause. – EJK

Thanks to Hiapop and Yeah I Know It Sucks for sharing the Blue Moon Frequency #2b [Summer Mix] video, and to Yeah I Know It Sucks for yet another charmingly nonsensical review:
There is the rhythm, which feels like we are listening to a garden shed full of tools in which a DIY hero is busily building its own garden furniture. There is the electric bass, so nice and thick that you can imagine wanting to sit on one of these freshly built chairs without ever standing up. Next to that we have that sun-providing sound of someone stroking a few guitar strings – which is always the right recipe to go for when in need for a certain warmth-holiday feel and vibe.
Read the whole review here, and as always, check out both Hiapop and YIKIS for quality music recommendations.
