inaugural release, Matthew Robert Cooper Miniatures, is now available!

Matthew Robert Cooper
Miniatures
Nine short saturnian interludes make up the first proper vinyl release by the sound artist who has intrigued your collapsed antenna many times before as Eluvium, Matthew Robert Cooper. Atmospheric chamber music from the cardboard box vortex. Miniatures moves from swirling spatial feedback manipulations to stripped down minimal piano pieces and back while you watch from the curbside the ghostly parade. Limited to 2,000 copies with the first 1,000 on colored vinyl. All prices include shipping.

Madagascar
Goodbye East, Goodbye West
The sophomore album by Madagascar, a Baltimore based quartet that softly stamps out soothing circular melodies on an array of acoustic instruments that include accordion, saw, xylophone, bells and drums. Like dancing an oxycodone waltz with your grandmother to a Bell Biv Devoe 45 on slow speed while cabbage cooks away in the adjoining kitchen. Limited edition of 500 on turquoise vinyl. Also available in CD format from the fine folks at Western Vinyl.

Colyalcolor
Caid Morato
Currently residing in Los Angeles, Colyalcolor's Brian Randolph creates a dense sea of sound, atmospheric, like skinny-dipping in mercury. Colyalcolor combines the organic tones of guitars and vocals with textural synth and drums to bring us these heaving, breathing, living pieces. Influences? Maybe. You decide. It's beautiful and like nothing I've ever heard.
