"Dead Bee in a Golden Bowl"
Trouble Books - Concatenating Fields LP
This is the third album by Keith Freund and Linda Lejsovka, further blending the influence of Northeast Ohio’s experimental synth and noise scene into minimalist pop songs. An increased focus on negative space and simplicity gives Concatenating Fields a more nocturnal vibe than before. Definitely the best Trouble Books album yet.
Went for top sound and vision on this release with a gorgeous master by James Plotkin and vinyl cut at Dubplates and Mastering in Berlin, and an awesome gatefold jacket design by Jacob Feige.
Limited edition of 300 contains a screen printed insert and mp3 code.
$13
(UK/Euro friends: this LP is available locally from MIE Music)
"Pointless Grove"
Gabe Schray - Corrected Follies LP
Excited to get the chance to properly share Gabe's amazing work with everyone. He's been putting out super limited CD-Rs pretty much every year, and a few of us here in Akron and Cleveland usually get a chance to grab a copy before he loses the master and lets the whole thing disappear. Now we've managed to find a dozen highlights from those albums and get them mastered and onto a nice limited edition LP.
It's kinda tough to describe Gabe's instrumentals, since they exist outside of any current trends... a bit of King Tubby style dub + 80's Sakamoto synth-pop... sometimes it makes me think of Tortoise as teenagers, if that makes any sense at all. Coooool

From the Bellona Museum of Natural History LP

Comfort Clouds - The Dinner Set CD
The debut album from the soft pop band previously known as
Dinomania. Bossa nova rhythms, deep reverb drones, jazz chords,
smooth woodwinds, and dreaming about weekends...
Steely Dan with some post-9/11 experimentation... I don't know how to
describe this, it's weird and not weird and really really good.
