FR 137: On Being and (Not) Forgetting New music from Patrick Shiroishi, Four Tet & William Tyler, M. Sage, and more

“All told, it’s an inspired piece of sound art dedicated to an ominous curio of material history.” Thanks @philipsherburne.bsky.social for writing so wonderfully about my new album in Futurism Restated - read/sign up to the always great newsletter here: futurismrestated.substack.com/p/fr-137-on-...

Rafael Toral's Aeriola Frequency (1998) album cover. A grainy, green-tinted photograph of a wind turbine.

"It was a leap from Wave Field into pure electronic resonance. I had become acquainted with Alvin Lucier’s I Am Sitting In A Room a few years before and it remained a touchstone that inspired this album more than any other."

Argh, that's @spennyt.bsky.social on Collapsing Drums! Apologies.

Though @darylworthington.bsky.social's profile on Weston Olencki (who has a stunning new album coming out 19 Sep on @ooutsidetimee.bsky.social) in the new issue is very much worth reading, too!

Shiny 500th issue of the ever-awesome @thewiremagazine.bsky.social is out now! Inside I had the pleasure of interviewing the brilliant Weston Olencki and reviewed the ear twisting new Jung An Tagen album.

Wonderful new edition of @thewiremagazine.bsky.social is out now! Inside I had the pleasure of interviewing Cerpintxt about her brilliant new album, ‘Refugees of the Symbolic Network’

Reissue of the Week: Music For Nitrous Oxide by Stars Of The Lid | The Quietus Stars Of The Lid made ambient music but they also shared a weird surreality with fellow Austin, Texans, The Butthole Surfers

I wrote about the new reissue of Stars of the Lid' 'Music for Nitrous Oxide' for @thequietus.com Every SOTL record is special, but this one is perhaps the strangest. Some thirty years later, it sounds just as transfixingly odd and eerily beautiful. thequietus.com/quietus-revi...

Rougarou - Rougarou album cover. Black and white, murky death metal stylings.

'Patrick Michot's solo project Rougarou, named after a werewolf in Cajun and Creole folklore, mixes triangles, washboards, piano and fiddle with the dark heft of extreme metal.'

Silver Machine: Metallic Life Review by Matmos | The Quietus Like modern day musical alchemists, MC Schmidt and Drew Daniel turn lead (and tin and steel and brass and aluminium) into sonic gold, finds Daryl Worthington

I wrote about the glinting, clanging and shimmering new Matmos record, 'Metallic Life Review' for @thequietus.com It's an album that builds from a (literally) material constraint to deliver vibrant, glowing, bouncy music. It's out today on @thrilljockey.bsky.social thequietus.com/quietus-revi...
