And they can happen to you.
Various affiliated Somerset artists will be doing things (thangs) in the Dirty 13. We will be posting new Ultralap here, and tay0 has a new EP due in the first part of the year. BLACKFOX is threatening to record, and Atlanta drone/noise specialists AkuYou have some premium vinyl due in February. Things will be things! You should hit the Contact link so we can keep you posted.
Happy New Year from all of us to some of you. You know who you are...
Since Squarespace went and rolled out a new iPhone app, so I had to play with it. Herewith is a pic of R_Garcia at the Basement.
For reals..
So the other night, me (Ryan) and Stacey, the top half of BLACKFOX, did a duo set at Smith's Olde Bar's Atlanta Room, and Duncan Sheik was playing the big upstairs room. I figured we'd have nice staged rehearsal and play to no one, but instead we had some people actually come down from DS's show and hang with us, and they totally dug it. We had one of those nights where we just played and sang and everybody came along.
Later, I came home and bought Duncan's latest record, because I'm sure his beneficent spirit had something to do with it.
tay0 | possible futures
The next tay0 record is loosely scheduled for early 2013, and if you want a little preview, head over to Soundcloud to hear some preliminary mixes, heavy on texture and environment and light on compositional details (for now).
It shall be done! Downstairs in the Atlanta Room, kids.
Rat Mass, the experimental metal project from Ryan Taylor and his pal Mitchell Sosebee, has released a 30-minute maelstrom of chugging, grinding guitar and drum ecstasy called EP1, because hopefully there will be an EP2.
Get the thing now at Bandcamp, in download and CD formats.
As long as that town is Decatur, GA!
Swampy space gospel with a retro-futuristic swing
Not too long ago, as a little group project, we made a record of science-fiction inspired grooves anchored by Stacey Cargal's lap steel. It was very well received, but it's currently out of print. Well, don't look now, but we're going to re-release it as part of the Somerset Sound launch, and it might even be free! Hit us up over on the Contact page and we'll make sure you know when it happens.
