Review on Houdini Mansions

Flattering review of Music for the DMV by Gray Lee up on Houdini Mansions. An excerpt:

The end result of this digital collage of classical pieces with unique audio treatments is an artistic and detailed sonic work that one need not visit the DMV to enjoy. For those of you who are unfortunate enough to have business to conduct at the DMV, you might want to bring this album with you. The calming and intriguingly arranged music contained therin just might make your stay a little less unpleasant.

Read the whole review here, and make sure to check Houdini Mansions’ many projects, including the Magnetic Mystery Hour podcast and their gorgeous cassette release.

Conor Byrne Pub, 5140 Ballard Ave NW
$8 / Ball of Wax 54 CD included with entry 

Make sure to check out the excellent write-up of “Bouncyland” on the Ball of Wax blog!

About Volume 54:

BoW 54 is chock full of 20 songs from friends new and old – which we’ll be rolling out here on the Blog of Wax starting today. There is no particular theme, but the time signature 5/4 does show up more than would be statistically likely in any normal collection of 20 songs. Representing for the live experience will be Cupholders (the Ballard supergroup formerly known as Doug Hood and the Wholly Heathens, chock full of BoW friends) and three artists newer to the fold: Zachary Warnes, The Daphnes, and Kevin Sur. It’s going to be a great time – and, as always, everyone in the door gets a free copy of the new volume of Ball of Wax.
