savath+savalas' highly anticipated follow up to "folk songs for trains trees
and honey" is now available for pre-order. with the release of "the rolls
and waves" EP, scott herren has come full circle. his trademark soundscapes
are expanded for even deeper listening and his fans will not be
disappointed. scott also records under the alias prefuse 73 for warp
records. he is currently in spain working on his upcoming savath+savalas
full-length for hefty.
also available for pre-order is the debut release from hu vibrational,
"boonghee music 1" on eastern developments. hu vibrational is a project
headed up by adam rudolph and hamid drake, along with LA producer, carlos
nino. rudolph and drake, respectively, have been important fixtures in the
jazz, avant, improvised and world music scenes. nino is best known for his
organization of live events in LA and his involvement in the dublab radio
collective. nino is also a member of ammon contact who have an upcoming
release slated on east dev. "boonghee" is a new dance music that doesn¹t
have a specific rhythm. it's a gathering of grooves. lead by the
pillow-padded-mallet-hit deep bass resonance and high-pitched hand slaps of
the Udu clay drum of west africa, boonghee music is circular and profound.
something like a phenomenon and somewhat a mixture of minimal hip-hop, Big
Black hand drumming, and broken-beat. boonghee music is all organic. drake
and rudolph have collectively played with pharoah sanders, yusef lateef, don
cherry and countless other legends.
both titles are available online at:
