ANTIGRAVITY REVIEW
Wonderful new review of You Won’t Remember This in the new ANTIGRAVITY Magazine! Jesse Lu Baum writes, “You Won’t Remember This is a living example of form married to function. Created by the local duo Orca, Attack! (Elizabeth Joan Kelly and David Rodriguez), the two-song EP is part of DIY label superpolar Taïps’ cassette single and EP series, and is as quirky as the label and its chosen medium…It’s a delightfully odd listen!” Catch the full review on the ANTIGRAVITY website or in print (!) if you live in New Orleans.

On The Fringes of Sound and Space Is The Place
There’s a lovely review of You Won’t Remember This from On The Fringes of Sound:
The title track is an instant attention grabber as it begins with indie-folk vibes that quickly take an electronic with soaring pads and tight percussion that blend in perfectly. The next track “World Map” takes us in an even stranger direction as warm electric bass lines mix it up with more airy percussion and springy synth lines.
Also, new episode of Space Is The Place on CandoFM; catch the archive on Mixcloud or below:
Vital Weekly and The quietus reviews
Great day for You Won’t Remember This reviews. First up, Vital Weekly writes, “‘You Won’t Remember This’ is a breezy Avant-folk tune with a slightly hoarse voice, starting mellow with acoustic guitars but fully opening up when the drum machines and electronics kick in… ‘World Map’, on the other side, is a bit more abstract in terms of ‘pop’ or ‘folk’, with a significant role for the drum machine, and all the other sounds around appear in a dub form, coming and going. But the melodic aspect of this song isn’t forgotten and gives this song a great flavour as well.”
Then the Cassingle series gets a shoutout in this month’s Spool’s Out column in The Quietus (!!!!). “From a tentative acoustic opening, the duo of Elizabeth Joan Kelly and David Rodriguez ascend to a glorious Tropicália meets shoegaze epic. It’s ridiculous in its ambition, cramming an album’s worth of ideas into two minutes and thirty seconds.”

Raised by Cassettes C.M.S.O. Review
Great review of C.M.S.O. up by Raised By Cassettes!
“It’s kind of fun how this cassette begins with that wild electro-folk sound and then ends on something along the same lines though not completely the same.”

New research article: “This machine will not communicate”: The Decentralization of Authority in Radiohead’s Music and Digital MediA
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.
