ADVANCE BASE "SUMMER MUSIC"!


i'm delighted to be bringing you this next track, the deliriously wistful et nostalgia-laced, trilly et jangly, candid, lo-fi reverie Summer Music, from legendary Chicago-based lo-fi/bedroom pop crooner Owen Ashworth aka Advance Base {formerly Casiotone For The Painfully Alone!} off his eagerly anticipated debut album "A Shut-In's Prayer" (2012).

you have to take your hat off to Ashworth who possesses an incredible knack for producing wonderfully candid et self-deprecating observations on life et love. Summer Music has some of the best lyrics i've heard in a long time! enjoy!

"There's no comfort in sympathy
She's up state with her family
I'm still at the same address
Still believe I can love the best
The sound of music from the kitchen boom-box."



"A Shut-In's Prayer" will officially see the light of day on May 1st via Caldo Verde Records, it will be available on cd or mp3.

KUH-LIDA "WOLFF"


let your ears et mind meditate on the sublimely wonky et glitched-out, John Cage prepared piano-riffing, experimental hip-hop hallucination that is Wolff, from Chicago-based electro/hip-hop experimentalist Myles Emmons aka Kuh-Lida off his new album "Snacks" (2012).




if you like what you hear then i'd highly recommend checking out the phenomenal "Snacks" album, it is available now for purchase/streaming via the Belgian Man's bandcamp or on Kuh-Lida's soundcloud.
