The Jonny Cats: S.B.C.P.M.F.

Recently uncovered masters from The Jonny Cats. These songs were released in very limited edition cassettes back in 1994. The Burrrns Rubber 7" was taken from these sessions. Hearing them now, in better fidelity, after over 15 years; they seem to have aged like fine whisky. Rumor has it that Kenta and Jon (along with High Iron) are playing these tunes again. Recordist: Ryan Martino. Also available on on bandcamp.

As always, this one is a pay what you want release. All proceeds go to more music. Also available on soundcloud (.wav)

Blue Mountain Review

'
A quick one today: there's a nice review of Taking Blue Mountain By Stages over at Recent music heroes. So I'll take this as an opportunity to remind you to check out its companion album over at bendle's bandcamp page...and chuang tzu dreamed that he was me is one of my favorite releases lately...and would be whether or not the one song I had a hand in was on it. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Take a listen:

Bendle and Michael have promised me some help with the aboombong admixture project. And I can't wait to hear what they come up with.

High Iron - Tiger Blood

Jonny Cats Kenta and Jon are in a great new band, High Iron. Kenta just posted a new track over at soundcloud. Check it out.



While you are there, you can also check out the aboombong page. Along with admixture,(also available on bandcamp) there are some tracks aboombong has contributed to the disquiet junto project. Have been having fun with these. If you are a musician both the junto and admixture are looking for your participation. Don't be shy.

aboombong: admixture; now on soundcloud, what you got?

I meant to get this up sooner, but life keeps me busy. The aboombong admixture e.p. is now also up on soundcloud, which is really a perfect venue for the collaborative aspects of the project. Contributions are already starting to trickle in and I have begun working on the admixs. If you are a soundcloud user, you can follow the progress of the project there and watch for the final release of the admixs over at aboombong's bandcamp page, where things will be released cc-attribution, share-alike, non-commercial.

admixture by aboombong

aboombong - admixture

Starting the new year with a new release, admixture, a two-track, interactive e.p. from aboombong. With the exception of a little harmonica, this one is all percussion. The interactive element here is this: I am sending solicitations for additional elements for each track to my musician friends...and will accept them as well from those of you out there that feel inclined; I will take submitted additions to the songs and I will combine them into new versions: not remixs, admixs. If you are interested in participating...put together your contribution and then leave a comment or send me a note here (click on the link that says "For all other inquiries, click here") and we'll figure out how I can retrieve your contributions. No complicated rules, but remember, your contribution will be combined with things you haven't heard. Oh, and I don't want any samples of already released material. Contributions should be something you created from scratch.

Artist: aboombong
Album: admixture
Style: shoegaze, drone-rock, idm, psychedelic, dream pop
Features: percussion, harmonica, effects.


As always, this one is a pay what you want release. All proceeds go to more music.

Walking in a Stranger Haven

Just a quick note this morning.
Found a nice little mix over at A Stranger Haven featuring Never Been to Konono by aboombong. There are many worthy mixes at the haven for you. Show some love.



Update: nice review of the first azwarm release over at recent music heroes...but I will note that azwarm is an ongoing project. May have a new one out soon.

atlatl - the gratification of ambition

A quick one before I have to put the baby to bed. Friend of the show atlatl has a new one up on bandcamp. Worth your time if you like the abstract sound art.




In news, aboombong's next is coming along slowly but surely, and the next dustdevil & crow is in the works.

Dynamo Stairs - Worm Separators and Guides

A friend of the show post today with some more songs from Saxon, Switzerland's Dynamo Stairs (aka David Liso from Choke and Splayfeet), now available on his soundcloud page. If you like these teasers go to Eversore.com for much more from David (dig around, tracks to listen to and lots of information and photos - you can even use paypal to support the artist).

Worm Stars Separators And Guides tracks by Dynamo Stairs - David Says:"3 exclusive tracks from Dynamo Stairs' 2008 album 'Worm Stars Separators And Guides'"

Outtakes by Dynamo Stairs- David says: "Old Dynamo Stairs tracks written between 1993 and 1995! Were supposed to be tried out and performed by Mesmerise in Italy, but never quite made it ..."

Enjoy.
