It’s not exactly an Orca, Attack! production, but it kind of is. David Rodriguez and I just published “’This machine will not communicate’: The Decentralization of Authority in Radiohead’s Music and Digital Media” in the new media studies journal Convergence. It’s our first time publishing an academic work together, and it applies our expertise in music, literature, and information science to an analysis of Radiohead’s work. Currently the article is available freely on the Convergence website.
Bandcamp has a very fun newish monthly feature called The Tape Label Report “where we introduce you to five cassette-focused labels you should know about and highlight key releases from each.” January 2022 includes Strategic Tape Reserve with a little shout out to Orca, Attack!’s C.M.S.O.
Many many thanks to Avant Music News for including Orca, Attack!’s weird little faux-educational-musical-dispatch C.M.S.O. (with Strategic Tape Reserve and David Rodriguez) with the Best of 2021! See the full list, plus honorable mentions, on the AMN website.
