Leaning
**300 copies** Kaspi & Stride is a new project from Justin Tripp, best known as one half of the Georgia equation. Leanings has its origins in rigorous yet laid back studio sessions, dual personal practice sensibilities that seem to get at Tripp’s creative ethos as well as any descriptors might. The material here was born out of collaborative studio sessions with multi-instrumentalist Jimy Seitang (Conga Square / Stygian Stride) - the “Stride” of K&S. The music from these sessions has been rework…

Freeze
2003 release ** "Michael Hartman and Junko Okada of the electronics group TV Pow has established his own Kuro Neko imprint, and based on the label's first two offerings, he's got his eye on a number of different scenes. Motor is a man from Moscow who, whether working in abstraction or (as is the case here) with pulse-based forms, prefers austerity and minimalism. Though rhythms clearly sit at the center of Freeze, they are subtle and don't detract from the melodic elementss, the subtle electroni…
Caja Antelice
2009 release ** Limited edition of 100 copies. Packaged in an oversize cardboard sleeve. "The music ranges from ambient and industrial, to free improvised sampling and more experimental sounds and even a bit of noise. Its however a bit unbalanced, still, and could certainly use a lot more editing and a somewhat more detailed production. But there are pieces (all untitled) around here that are certainly quite nice, or even could pass on as structured compositions, such as the longest drone piece,…

The Digital Vapor Glitch-Noise Fusion According To Spiral
2010 release ** Limited edition of 100 copies. Packaged in an oversize cardboard sleeve. "I think you may have noticed it, anyhow Andrea Marutti during the last years beside getting involved in a good number of collaborations has kept putting out solo releases (or he simply augmented his hyperactivity). Spiral is not exactly what Amon or Never Known fans may dig, but at the same time I'm sure if you're a diehard follower of Marutti and you've tasted his materials in different salsas I'm quite fo…

A Typical Night In The Pit
300 copies. A Typical Night in the Pit is a collection of new music by Los Angeles' Nick Malkin. It is an album that finds the artist absorbed in the density and chaos of the urban complex. It is unquestionably an "LA album", but not the LA of hi-fi listening bars and twinkling, Instagram-ready new age. Rather, Malkin navigates something more akin to the LA found in the films of Robert Altman or Alan Rudolph -- overheated, tense, hazy, frayed -- with blue-lit, nocturnal compositions that at time…
Contemplative Figuration
300 copies limited edition With Contemplative Figuration, Broshuda pushes his amorphous, impossible-to-pin-down music in exciting new directions. Stitched together in various European cities over the last few years, it is the artist's most dynamic and ambitious release thus far, drawing equally from musique concrete, beat research, ambient, tape collage, and spoken word. Episodic in nature, the collection functions well as a sort of impressionistic travelogue, with romantic, hazy atmospheres coa…

It is a collection of bright, addictive listening, full of tracks that manage to feel at once hooky and aleator…
Objet Dirt

Over the past fifteen years, Florida-based multi-instrumentalist Eric Lanham has quietly generated a diverse and remarkable body of work both as a solo artist and in group settings. From the disorienting drone/collage ecstasies of Caboladies, his trio with Christopher Bush (Flanger Magazine) and Ben Zoeller, to wildly divergent solo flights under both his own name and as Carl Calm, Lanham's carefully me…
Cold Clay From The Middle West
*300 copies limited edition* Iggy goes West! Soda Gong welcomes back Kansas City-based musician Iggy Romeu with his latest collection as Mister Water Wet. Cold Clay from the Middle West is a (characteristically) sharp left turn from his last two records, with Romeu offering up a surprising and addictive mélange of crackpot Americana and smoky noir beat science. "Cold Clay Suite" opens the record, a five-part ride into the sunset that features Cooder-esque guitars, cat-gut fiddle, horse-hoof perc…
