adult ADULT.: The DECAMPMENT TRILOGY

With the go ahead from ADULT.’s Adam Lee Miller to post this, here is the latest news on ‘Detroit’s undying isolationists’, taken from their website, Adultperiod.com…

PART I:
Adult. will be premiering their new silent-experimental-short-horror film DECAMPMENT May 9, 2008 at 7:00pm and 8:30pm at the Detroit Institute of Arts accompanied by their own peculiar electronic horror music especially scored for the film. DECAMPMENT was written, produced and directed by ADULT. in early 2008 and follows a women’s transmigration from her “normal” life into a new society of deceit. Filmed entirely in Michigan, DECAMPMENT explores ADULT.’s obsession with an often overlooked and distinctive aesthetic that they call “midwestern horror”. The all new soundtrack will be performed live by ADULT. during the screening of the film and will be a mutation of instrumental film music and more ADULT.-like irregularities.

PART II:
ADULT. will be releasing their first new release in over a year. The DECAMPMENT TRILOGY is an extremely limited 7″ series to be released on ERSATZ AUDIO. Three 7″s -each strictly limited to 100 copies- will tell the story of DECAMPMENT through music, lyrics and photographs. Each hand numbered 7″ will come in a full color jacket along with a limited 16″ x 20″ photographic print from Nicola Kuperus signed and numbered. Collect the entire 7″ trilogy to piece together the narrative of DECAMPMENT, plus own the limited edition 7″s and the Kuperus Triptych available ONLY through the ADULT. One 7″ will be released each month starting May 13th. More info coming soon concerning this project.

Scorn: Basura’s Pick of the Week

scorn Scorn: Basuras Pick of the Week

Not intended to feature the latest music out there, my ‘Pick of the Week’ is to simply share & highlight music I personally enjoy regardless of timeframe. This weeks featured artist is Scorn (Mick Harris), remembered by most as being the former drummer for grindcore legends Napalm Death. Scorn has worked with avant-garde composer John Zorn and prolific producer Bill Laswell and has been remixed by the likes of electronic virtuosos Autechre, experimental industrialists Coil, and Meat Beat Manifesto to name a few. Scorn’s sound was a precursor to dubstep, and for the most part, can best be described as nightmare music- dark atmospheric tones and super low bass frequencies over left field dub/downtempo beats.

Ceephax Acid Crew: Basura’s Pick of the Week

Ceephax Ceephax Acid Crew: Basuras Pick of the Week

Not intended to feature the latest music out there, my ‘Pick of the Week’ is to simply share & highlight music i personally enjoy regardless of timeframe. This weeks featured artist is Ceephax Acid Crew (Andy Jenkinson). Firmly rooted in all things electronic, particularly acid & drum and bass, Ceephax can be compared to many of the acts on Aphex Twin’s record label, Rephlex, as well as his brother Squarepusher. I’d describe his music as being rhythmically erratic and energetic with melodies that can sometimes detach you from reality…

Matmos- Supreme Balloon

matmos Matmos Supreme Balloon

Made entirely from (Moog, Roland, Waldorf, etc.) synthesizers with guest appearances from the likes of longtime Matmos collaborators Lesser and Hrvatski (Keith Fullerton Whitman), as well as Marshall Allen (Sun Ra Arkestra) and minimalist composer Terry Riley, this might just be my favorite Matmos album ever! It’s a colorful kaleidoscope of wonderful playful sounds that recalls a lot of Mouse on Mars‘ earlier work. ‘Supreme Balloon’ shows again how multi-faceted Matmos (Drew Daniel and Martin C. Schmidt) are musically, marking yet another superb release that further solidifies their importance to music that matters.

Here’s a choice cut off of ‘Supreme Balloon’ entitled ‘Polychords’-

electricpres Electric President Sleep Well

Electric President’s charming sound should appeal to fans of The Postal Service, Death Cab For Cutie, and The Notwist. Out on Berlin-based indie electronic label Morr Music, (Lali Puna, Ms. John Soda, Styrofoam, etc.), ‘Sleep Well’ holds true to its title, as a catnap or daydreaming may ensue from these light and fluffy tracks. Perfect listening for a pleasant walk or bike ride in the park.

Be on the lookout for this album’s release, slated for June. In the meantime, here are 2 tracks to enjoy.

jlidell Jamie Lidell Jim

‘Jim’ is Jamie Lidell’s third & latest album effort out on prolific English label Warp Records. Lidell ditches the electronics much of his early work had for a more raw, organic, heart-felt mixture of soul & r&b that shows his growth as a musician and singer. This is a very good crossover album that may even appeal to fans of Amy Winehouse or the like…

The first single off the album, ‘Little Bit Of Feelgood’, is released with official remixes by Mr. Oizo & Senor Coconut. Here is the original album version.

m83saturdays M83 Saturdays=Youth

Saturdays=Youth, the latest album offering from France’s M83, couldn’t have come out at a better time. It’s the perfect soundtrack for these beautiful Spring days & nights. Still apparent in M83’s sound is their ‘lush’ and ‘ethereal’ nod to “shoegaze”, but that’s not to say that this album is an ode to MBV or the like.

M83 have a refreshing, emotive, dreamy sound all their own, and have come up with an album one can easily lose themselves in. Saturdays=Youth was produced by Ken Thomas (known for his work with the likes of The Sugarcubes & Sigur Ros) & Ewan Pearson, remixer extraordinaire (Depeche Mode, Ladytron, The Rapture).

MP3: M83 – We Own The Sky

Saturdays=Youth drops this tuesday April 15th. Be sure to pick that up at your local record slangin’ shop. Stream other M83 goodies on his myspace page.
