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.

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

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."

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".

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.

"Lightyear" is the first song to be released following Viernes' debut album Sinister Devices. "Lightyear" is an ambient piece, contrasting greatly from the song structures on Sinister Devices, and consistent with what Alberto has been doing with his solo project Acquoi (formerly Galleries).

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. Below is the link to stream:

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.

Throughout the many years spent in Florida, we have been blessed to meet so many lovely people. These bands are the ones that make Florida and the South such a warm place. They have made such an impact on our community and we are grateful for them. SpiritCat would like to welcome you to it’s…
I love all these artists, I love the Florida scene

»>Lars Din
::In Solidarity
& Hear Hums
3-5 dollar suggested donation at the door. All proceeds will go to support the Civic Media Center and Occupy Gainesville. In addition to being a benefit, this is a birthday party for our Sagittarian friends! We’ll have birthday cake, hot cocoa, and a wicked fire out back. (Feel free to BYOB too.)
We have a new video interview with Lighthouse Music along with some tracks from their new album, Only Human. Check it out up here or on our site: www.Tiny-Waves.com
The Hear Hums tapes are back from the factory and were just voted most professional looking kassette klub release to date
If you are in Orlando make sure to hit up their show with Prince Rama and Dark Sea of Awareness on wednesday at Will’s Pub. We miss ‘em already after seeing their incredible shows in Boston and Amherst.
It seems that AWDCASTLES always posts things on Tumblr before we do. He basically nailed it 100%. Check out the video and go to the actual post on Tiny-Waves.com
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.
