Babel assembled fieldrecordings captured at the Pavili…

Jackson-Pratt & Shredded Nerve
In this split two masters of their craft each make a sonic homage to a different painter. The sounds from both Shredded Nerve and Jackson Pratt capture varying degrees of reflected light. Jackson Pratt places us inside what feels like a painter’s studio, spacious and sun soaked with large northeast facing windows. Every sound flits in the sunlight with room to expand and contract. Stark forms emerge from a sparseness which defies titles. Seany’s compositions evoke a sense of endless variation mu…

Ends Meet
Souk is delighted to present the sophomore album from a true fixture in Cairo seething electronic scene who should, by now at least, remain anonymously famous behind the 3Phaz moniker. Both as a way to make focus on the music itself regardless of identity and to sever ties with past projects, 3Phaz acts like an entity in itself, a most suitable conjuration of sounds past and future gravitating on their own dimension. Though connections are inevitable and welcoming with home turf artists such as …

Borderline Dogfood
The Bren't Lewiis Ensemble's first full-length 2023 is a table scrap pâté of junk percussion, recycled sounds, roasted tapes and electronics, surrealist soliloquies, and decontextualized lyrics squished through the meat grinder and smeared into a professionally replicated compact disc (not a CDR).
After-hours sessions at Musiclandria in Sacramento in late 2021 — at the time freshly upgraded to a mammoth instrument lending library with a stream-ready live venue, a recording studio, and a communit…
