THEO ANGELL/HAMISH KILGOUR (of legendary NZ psych band The Clean) brooklynvegan/archives/2009/12/theo_angell.html popmatters/review/theo-angell-and-the-tabernacle-hillside-singers-auraplinth/ https://myspace/theoangellthetabernaclehi/music/songs Just as suddenly as Theo Angell became a musician, after years of writing far out experimentalism, Angell abruptly decided to write pop music. Auraplinth completed in 2008 was the result. Angell observes that he hears melodies in his head while woodworking, a trade Angell has picked up in his spare time. As Angell describes, hes able to achieve a meditative state while hes working with his hands. When music comes into his imagination, what he calls the best music, he is later able to come to a guitar and flesh out an entire song. As of late, Angell has been working on a house in the Catskills region of New York state with Hamish Kilgour of The Clean. The two have collaborated together to produce really out there experimental music, but both share in common the ability to transfer avanty smarts to a pop setting. JE SUIS LE PETIT CHEVALIER (French Alps) jesuislepetitchevalier.bandcamp/album/those-vermilion-sands-cs Félicia Atkinson’s age of wonder has slipped through her fingers, or so beautiful sadness and low-level violence of her work seems to imply. (..) Her commanding if narcoleptic voice carries a sombre, wordless dirge of a tune that drifts above distant twinklings, heartbeat rhythms and a submarine drone that takes a wrong turn down to the bottom of the sea. CYMATICS RESEARCH INSTITUTE (Nanaimo BC) Mysterious collective including at various times, members of Colliding Canyons, Wolf Parade, Moths & Locusts, the massless, Top Men, Sarah Harmer and more, more, more!!! https://facebook/events/595872240527886/
