Mac DeMarco: Dog on the Rock / Seven Off the Two / Seaplane Dog / The View from Tian Tan (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mac DeMarco grins to the camera as he scrolls through his endless archive of demos, voice memos, and tossed-off beats, pulling one up at random. The music that seeps through the speakers is lite funk rock, undoubtedly influenced by the Japanese pop artists DeMarco has long cribbed from. “Just garbage,” he chuckles, but nearly 5 million people seem to disagree, to the point of concern for his standards or even his mental health. The beat slaps! How could he dismiss it? It’s instructive, upon list
Windy & Carl / Optigan Conservatory: Windy & Carl Meet Optigan Conservatory (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nobody actually plays an Optigan on Windy & Carl Meet Optigan Conservatory. It’s just as well—the early-’70s keyboard instrument, widely fetishized among gearheads, is infamous for its finicky pitch. But the moniker that Detroit music-scene lifers Frank Rotondo and Fred Thomas have taken for their ambient experiments, Optigan Conservatory, speaks to a fascination with physical objects, the peculiar noises they make, the way they age into strange functions not intended by their makers. Windy & Ca
Sarah Davachi: The Will of Tongues (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sarah Davachi’s music is about taking the plunge. Her drones demand time, commitment and attunement to minute variations in timbre and texture, and they’re often composed in tuning systems that haven’t been mainstream since the Baroque era. She calls her approach “late music,” an echo of the scholarly term “early music,” but one thing it most certainly is not is easy music. The Canadian composer has built her entire career around challenging work that might fly over the heads of anyone not alrea
Foodman: HIKARIGASASHIKOMU (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Don’t let the delicious, salty-sweet mitarashi dango on the cover fool you; Foodman’s HIKARIGASASHIKOMU is one of the darkest albums to emerge from the world of footwork since Jana Rush’s Painful Enlightenment. On his latest Hyperdub release, the Japanese producer born Takahide Higuchi sings more than on previous records but tortures his voice through a gauntlet of pitch-shifter effects. HIKARIGASASHIKOMU is presented as an elaboration on 2023’s Uchigawa Tankentai EP, made during a difficult per
M. Geddes Gengras: Guest List (opens the original)
Read excerpt
M. Geddes Gengras has been exploring the outer edges of synth music for more than 20 years. The Woodstock-via-L.A. experimentalist is probably best known for his work with Sun Araw and the Congos on 2012’s Icon Give Thank, one of the most potent cross-generational collabs of its era. But the bulk of his catalog is crafted in solitude: sweeping, typically lengthy modular synth albums ranging from the strikingly pretty (2022’s Expressed, I Noticed Silence) to the disarmingly heady (the lockdown-er
