Soundcloud single from tay0

A track from tay0's last record  - The Map is Not The Territory

2013 has things which will happen in it...

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...

This is only a test

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.

Duncan Damn Sheik

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.

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).
