Foxy Digitalis
On this mix, we get gonzo’d by Bokeh‘s resident plunderphonic crew, Ambulance vs. Ambulance mashing together a mix of slowed down records, harmonica, shitty vocals, and more. Get deep into these cracks with this mix, called Accidental Meeting, and in the meantime also grab a copy of Ambulance vs. Ambulance’s killer album, Industrial Country. And […]
Nick Storring has released fantastic albums on labels like Orange Milk, Notice, and Scissor Tail among others. Last year’s full-length, My Magic Dreams Have Lost Their Spell, is transportive, taking listeners on an emotional sonic ride through imaginary landscapes and sprawling aural vistas. It’s incredible. Next week, on July 16th, he will release his latest, […]
Time-Lag Records is one of the best labels of all-time for my money. If you have any interest in free, psychedelic music you’ve likely crossed paths with something the label put out at some point or another. The likes of Six Organs of Admittance, Charalambides, and MV & EE all had early releases on Time-Lag […]
I’m excited to present this killer mix from percussionist, Ted Byrnes. I’ve long-admired Ted’s work and when I decided to bring Foxy Digitalis back, he was an artist I hoped to write about. His forthcoming album, Moving My Body Through Space, which comes out July 9th via Arkeen (pre-order HERE), is a challenging set of […]
New episode with some great music from the last few months, some of which I've written about here and others that I haven't had the time or mental space to cover in depth. Also a couple special snippets here - the premiere of Tikkun Olam, a new project from Ilyse Krivel and Colin Fisher coming next month on The Jewel Garden. Plus, a song from the unreleased duo of James Blackshaw and myself, Sea Turtle Legions. It's all worth checking out, though, and hopefully something will appeal to your ears. Thanks for listening.
I did not expect to be posting a second episode of The Electric Rubicon so quickly, but sometimes serendipitous things happen. On Saturday I was doing some research/digging for another future episode and remembered the three Elephant Micah CDRs that Time-Lag released back the mid-2000s. That, in turn, reminded me of the song he gave me for Gold Leaf Branches, a massive 3CD compilation I released on Digitalis in 2005.
The Electric Rubicon is a project I've been thinking about for a while now, but it was only in the last few months that I got a clearer picture of how I wanted to pull it together. Basically this is going to be a regular (my goal is once-per-month!) show where each episode is focused on a single band, artist, or label and I spend some time digging into their history and importance and, more generally, what it is that makes them special. The main thing, though, is an excuse to pull out some killer tunes that most people have never heard, or at least haven't heard in a while.
I always loved our podcasts/mixes section in the previous days of Foxy Digitalis, so of course I’m bringing it back in some form. Plus, it’s an excuse to share more music, which is always a good thing. Regular episodes of this show will hopefully continue into the future. I’d love to have some guests on […]
