Dig this?… Well, he’s got a ton of free music for you and yers ears over at Hairy Sloth Records. Look for his new full length LP entitled “Approaching Sunlight” to appear on the web pages of Tha SLoTH in the very near future as well. It will include the track above and be just as immaculate and then some. Count on it.
In my humble opinion.. AC are hands down some of the most creative, exploratory, influential experimental auditory artisans of the past 10 years, and their accompanying music videos and the directors they w3rk with to create these visual accompaniments to their futuristic soundZ have only fostered and expanded upon their already incredible visionary and immaculate artistic talents.

You can also read and an interview with A.C. and view their 2009 underground cross-over smash hit video for “My Girls” by clicking This Link to a past Gar Lives blog post.
Geometry never sounded or looked so beautiful as in Lusine’s -”Two Dots” track off of 2009’s LP
“A Certain Distance“.
Wanted to share this video/song with my GarLives peeps for a few months now. Finally got around to it. Props to Ian Monroe to turning me on to this album last year. Mad love n’ respect to you, your ears, and your eyes hombre.
“Atlas Sound” aka Bradford Cox in his hotel room during 2009’s ATP/All Tomorrow’s Parties Music Festival. He’s showing us how it is done when one man, his guitar, his voice, & his toys are used properly in conjunction with live looping aka infinite tape loop simulation layering.
Presumably from the same hotel complex where many of the ATP fest’s artist were staying.. Here Bradford Cox is joined by No Age’s Randy Randall and esteemed film director and occasional musician Jim Marmusch for an impromtu version of an old Neil Young song - “Cortez the Killer”.
*Props to the artists involved obviously, and to Pitchfork TV for helping document the A/V goodness
Magical.
Beautiful.
Stunning.

So this thing kinda popped up outta the blue, but R_Garcia is touring Florida at the end of Nov./early Dec. & put me on a bill he’s doing at Orlando uber-hip venue - Stardust next Monday Nov. 30th. It’s totally Free and All Ages, so come check out my new music and some other stellar auditory arteests. All the Info you’ll need about the performers, venue, times, etc. can be found over in the News section of my label: Hairy Sloth.
Come see me play a short but highly potent alGARhythm set next Monday. A lot of you haven’t been out to any of my shows for a good while now, and if you could make it out, I’d really appreciate your support of my new auditory gARTw3rkage. The other artists on this bill are no slouches either, and R_Garcia’s comin’ out of tha ATL schmokin’ hot these days. No doubt, it will be a “warm” one to say the least with a special surprise sesh at the end of the evening. It’s kind of earlier event as well, only running from like 9 - 12, so you’ll be home and in bed at a totally respectable hour for all you early risers’.
Really hope to see you there if ya can make it!
Here’s the flyer:
More info over on Hairy Sloth Records, including links to all the artists, promoters, the venue, a map, etc..
I don’t throw the term “genius” around lightly, but the musically-oriented video/sound collage duo of “The Books” are about “there” in my humble opinion. See for yourself in this “altered” bootleg of a recent performance they did at the St. Louis’ Luminary Center for the Arts. Continuing in a similar subliminal, transcendentally-laced A/V sample-based artfoRm as that as the godfather’s of the genre “Negativland” or as the marvelously mischievous masters from down under “The Avalanches”. No mistaking them for either of those outfits though, “The Books” are most certainly their own entity, and do “it” with their own unique brand of subtlety, grace, & musicianship. Which coincidentally is right up my proverbial artistic alley.
