Treat your taste buds to these mouthwatering leftovers!
Every Friday, we bring you “The Leftovers.” While we haven’t quite wrangled our thoughts into a full article yet, fear not—we’ve got you covered. We’ve whipped up these five tasty morsels into easily digestible snippets. This week, we’re showcasing new music from Gryphon Rue, Matt McBane, Anneleen Boehme and more. So go ahead, dive in and savour the delightful tidbits.
In the realm of experimental electronic music, where boundaries are meant to be stretched and redefined, ‘Clock No Clock’ invites listeners into a kaleidoscopic soundscape. This continuing collaboration between the Natural Information Society and Bitchin Bajas is a delightful exploration of rhythm and texture, showcasing the brilliant talents of each musician involved. Their collaborative album, Totality, arrives on the 25th of April via Drag City.
The master architect of sound, Gryphon Rue, returns with his latest track, ‘Blue Eraser’. The song ebbs and flows with a fluidity that will keep you engaged, oscillating between moments of serene calm, bursts of strings courtesy of Odetta Hartman and glitchy sounds. Look out for his new album, Keep My Diamond Necklace in a Pond of Sparkling Water, dropping on 18th April.
Lyon’s ever-brilliant Jarring Effects label strikes gold with this one! Themed around Japanese yōkai and the supernatural creatures that populate Japanese folklore, get ready for the 3-way ‘post-dub’ collaboration and debut album by French, often bass-rooted producer and multi-instrumentalist Brain Damage, Japanese multidisciplinary artist Emiko Ota (OKZ) and English dub maestro and producer Mad Professor. Oide Oide おいで おいて features five original tracks and 5 Mad Professor dubs. Back-to-back killers on this one!
In a delightful collision of genres, Matt McBane’s latest album, ‘Buoy’, merges electronic, classical, and ambient elements in a way that feels both innovative and timeless. Seeded from a performance curated by the avant-garde luminaries Laurie Anderson and Arto Lindsay, this album marks McBane’s first venture into the electronic realm and what a captivating debut it is.
In the vast and often convoluted landscape of contemporary jazz music, Anneleen Boehme emerges as a refreshing beacon of creativity with her latest composition, ‘Lament For The Worried’. From the very first notes, Boehme’s artistry is evident. The composition opens with a delicate pizzicato loop that dances playfully yet hauntingly, setting an introspective and inviting tone. It’s as if the listener is drawn into a conversation between the strings, each pluck and bow stroke a whisper of the worries plaguing our minds.
