Wingsuit self released Kids' Poetry last summer and in August of 2011 via Spirit Cat. Josh Saul (Wingsuit) is part of the Tallahassee Wereposseum artist collective. The EP features musicians such as Malee Bringardner (Moonlasso) and James Seadale, both of which Saul has played in bands with. It's composed really well and definitely worth a few bucks, though is available for free if you choose on Spirit Cat's bandcamp.

Yesteday, Dntel posted about a new EP entited Dustmite on his Soundcloud. He stated: "This is some of the noisy stuff i was working on in 2009 and 2010. It was going to be under the Dustmite name but there ended up being someone else using that name and then i never finished the project anyways. I still like some of it , though, so some of the more finished tracks will appear here as a Dntel ep."

Nicole Miglis has just released her first official solo EP. With the exception of the whimsical opening "Don't Need Money", these are a handful of songs Gainesville has been lucky enough to familiarize themselves with over the past couple years. On her band Hundred Waters' Facebook, Nicole writes:

"Yesterday I finished my first EP. It’s a collection of songs I wrote from 2008-2010 that took some gentle nudging to believe in.

If you have 18 minutes to spare, I think it moves best in one sitting.

love and appreciation,
nicole"



For their debut show, Hundred Waters opens for Tycho at Double Down in Gainesville on Tuesday, January 24th.

Dustin Wong announced his new album, Dreams Say, View, Create, Shadow Leads will be released on February 20th, 2012 through Thrill Jockey. Dustin created a video for the closing track of the album, "Diagonally Talking Echo".



Tracklist:

1. Ice Sheets on Feet Prints
2. Feet Prints on Flower Dreads
3. Abstract Horse Slow Motion
4. Tea Tree Leaves Retreat
5. Triangle Train Stop
6. Toe Tore Oh
7. On/In the Way
8. Pink Diamond
9. Purple Slipped Right
10. Route Through Eyebrow
11. Sprinkle Wet Toes
12. Pencil Drove Hill Moon
13. Evening Curves Straight
14. Back Towards Night
15. Space Tunnel Graffiti
16. Diagonally Talking Echo


With regard to his process, Dustin Wong told Thrill Jockey:

"When I begin to explore and to build a song through a series of pedals, I
begin with the tuner. It helps keep my guitar's pitch consistent. An octave
pedal and the distortion pedals allows me to change the textures and colors of
the guitar. The delay pedal determines the tempo and the pattern. Once these
sounds are determined, it then gets replicated and repeated through a loop
pedal. Repeating that process, I lay different sounds and melodies on top. After
the loop pedal comes the envelope filter that changes the color of the sounds
but in a different way, more like a blend or like a dye. At the end of this
chain of pedals awaits another delay pedal that corresponds to the delay pedal
before the looper, further accentuating and changing the patterns of the loop.



I see all these pedals as a kind of textile factory. The sheets and colors
are determined then the patterns are laid on top, one layer after another until
it becomes a fabric mille feuille. Once that cake looks done it gets replicated
again through another delay pedal. I can keep building these sounds on top each
other and decide whether I want to take half of the cakes slices or not, if i
do, I can gaze at the symmetrical void of what I have taken.



I changed the recording process for Dreams Say, View, Create, Shadow
Leads from the process used for Infinite Love. In Infinite
Love I recorded every layer as a separate track dividing them up throughout
the stereo-field, but in Dreams Say… it was all mostly recorded live with
a few overdubs moving around in the stereo-field. The presentation of songs are
also different, Infinite Love was presented as a whole, and in Dreams
Say… I decided to have titles for each song or idea. In a way the physical
documentation and the presentation of the idea got switched. Just like choosing
how to see a light through a prism. Whether to see the fragmented light into the
prism and out to the single ray of light or the other way around."

Surfin Serf is a four-piece band from Orlando, Florida. They put a progressive/math rock twist on highly catchy pop melodies. They have released two sets of recordings on bandcamp, Surfin Serf Demo 2011a and No Meta. While I enjoy focusing on the art of the recording, it is important to note Surfin Serf have an incredible live set and need not to doctor up their recordings.




From their Myspace, they share "the surfin serf music band of orlando, florida became a four-piece in the summer of 2010. this current iteration is wet with afterbirth, and most-appropriate representations gradually surface. in the meantime, peruse the available relics, which remain available as indications of the strange beast which now hangs out on vietnamese streets".

Fruit Flesh is the solo project of Jake Tobin from Tallahassee, Florida. On bandcamp, he describes his music as "a whirl of physical repulsion and a dizzy, higher awareness that sounds something like a glass plate matted in areas with soft erasure marks and odd meter". Expect a split release with fellow Tallahassee band Wingsuit soon through Wonder Beard.

Jordan of Mutual Benefit's own Kassette Klub will release a split with the FMLY's Philip Seymour Hoffman (Noah Klein) this December. Jordan has had a steady flow of material released, the latest prior to this being the Mutual Spirits split from Father/Daughter Records. Noah on the other hand has been keeping to himself. Both sides of the tape are reminiscent of the artists' back catalog.

Hear Hums — “Toad Licking”

Lots of new things have fallen into place since Hear Hums have come back from their East Coast tour. While the two have pushed back their release of Opens, its entire static anticipation is still there. The production is being much more emphasized with this release and it should be exciting to hear the different experimental layers unfold from the mastering process that’s going on around this time.

In the meantime, Hear Hums have sent along a new song they’ve been working on for the Sample Based Life Vol. 2 collection. This will be curated by Sumsun, who will provide a bank of various sounds for other musicians & bands to choose from to create their piece. If you haven’t heard about the magic that’s behind this idea, you’ll want to check out Volume 1.

For now though, take in “Toad Licking” and its sporadic vocal samples that build up to an amazing choir of vocals & whispers / various sounds; it’s really wonderful.

Grimes — “Vanessa” [Live]

Certain shows stick with you for a long time (i.e. yvynyl’s post) and I knew immediately after the Austra/Grimes/Emily Reo show that this one was gonna be with me for a while. It’s much more amazing knowing that there’s even a video of the event to relive through. I’ve been all over Tiny Waves recently and I recommend bookmarking the page as soon as possible.

kassette klub news and feelings

As I was getting ready to write about what all the k/k bands have been up to I realized that its been almost exactly two years since kassette klub was first conceived.  Although I was never quite sure what it was exactly or how long it would last, k/k ended up becoming what I always hoped it would be; a truly collaborative effort between tons of beautiful people.  Thanks to everyone for the support, generosity and inspiration!

Above is a video about our newest members, Hear Hums for one of our favorite websites, Tiny Waves.  They’ll be bringing their incredible live show up the East Coast and playing a couple dates with Mutual Benefit in Boston and Amherst.  Be sure to pick up our reissue of Psyche Cycles.  It should be getting in from the duplication plant next week.

Lady Lazarus, the hardest working artist in show business, has a new video up on Impose for “What It’s Like”.  She’ll be performing in LA this December for FMLY FEST (which will be 100% solar powered this year!).

We are putting the finishing touches on the Philip Seymour Hoffman/Mutual Benefit split which is turning out real pretty.  Also before the end of the year we’ll be putting out a cassette ep by our favorite Baltimore dreamweaver, Cache who Altered Zones conveniently introduced to the world today.

Be on the lookout for new sounds from Flamingods, an awesome remix EP from Magical Mistakes and a “next-level” 7” from Sleep Good before the end of the year. 

LOVE
