food pyramid - new omni-directional healing techniques - debacle records - cd - 8$
Minneapolis trio Food Pyramid follows up their trilogy of tapes on Moon Glyph with this full length dive into the healing tones of New Age synth music. Holding on to the propulsive drive that defined their trilogy, but mostly submerging it within a washed out haze of rolling sun-on-snow brightness, like witnessing a Japanese mountain village out of a passing bullet-train.

Frank Ouellette offers up a synth soundtrack to a forgotten X-Files episode, where Mulder and Scully laze around the Area-51 am/pm and talk backwards about dolphins. Fantastic display of synth control by this modern master.
cough cool - cough cool - debacle records - cd - 8$
Cough Cool’s debut tape on Sweat Lodge Guru, re-mastered with new art. Downercore bedroom-pop nuggets pulled from the ether of teenage memories and adult disappointments. Slow moving song mantras. Itchy frustration and sleepy ambition. Look for releases this year from Dan on Not Not Fun and Bathetic.
sundrips – just a glimpse - debacle records - cd - 8$
Nick Maturo and Ryan Connelly exploded out of Montreal last year with no less than 10 tapes of hazy guitar/synth drones. Just a Glimpse finds the duo experimenting with shorter edits and more diverse song-forms than their sidelong tape experiments. Picking a concept out of a jam and distilling it down to its purest part. Making feints and nods towards past heroes like Eno and Shulze but keeping pace with modern masters such as Tim Hecker and Emeralds.
expo 70 - black out - debacle records - cd - 8$
Two live sets from the 2009 East Coast tour that spawned the Immune 2xLP, "Where Does Your Mind Go?", between the touring duo of Justin Wright and Matt Hill (Umberto). Track 1 consist of the stellar set from Ithaca, NY two days prior to the Immune Recording, headliners were Blues Control that night. Track 2 is the last set the duo played the last day of tour in the afternoon at WNYU in Manhattan, NY on less sleep than you can imagine. This set of live shows aptly named "Blackout" after a show at the now defunct New Market Hotel as part of an anti-CMJ show where the duo blacked out, probably scaring half the people responsible for the venue and show.
