Jan St. Werner, one half of German avant-garde electronic duo Mouse On Mars, released a new album, Miscontinuum Album, last week. The effort is the third instalment off his Fiepblatter Catalogue Series, and saw St. Werner recruit contributors Dylan Carlson (Earth), Markus Popp (Oval), Kathy Alberici, and Taigen Kawabe (Bo Ningen).
As the press release explains, Miscontinuum is the fruit of an electronic opera, having also been developed and performed as a radio play, over the period of four years. “The central concept of Miscontinuum explores misconceptions of time and memory, inspired by unique acoustic phenomena derived digital phasing and musical time stretching techniques”.
St. Werner’s first performed Miscontinuum as a part of his Asymmetric Studio series in Munich in June 2013. Lucky Londoners are getting the chance to see a revised version of Miscontinuum this weekend, with performances taking place this Saturday at Cafe Oto and the following day at St Luke’s Church.
Here’s an album medley to whet your appetite.
Miscontinuum Album is out now via Thrill Jockey.
Chilean psych rockers Föllakzoid are gearing up to release their new album, III. Diego Lorca, Juan Pablo Rodriguez and Domingo Garcia-Huidobro, who make up the band, wrote the album whist on the road last year, having played several shows all over North America and Europe.
“Whilst Föllakzoid’s output is layered and expanding, frequently becoming entwined in it’s own gravitational sonic pull, there has been a specific focus on the minimal on III, and on building an atmosphere with mainly monochords and reiteration”, states the press release.
III is due out on March 31st via Sacred Bones Records and ahead of it, the band are teasing us with the first single, the epic 12-minute cut ‘Electric’. Here it is.
Last year Deerhoof gave us La Isla Bonita, which was one of our 15 Album Picks of 2014. So we’re excited to know the band is heading to Europe for a month-long tour in support of the album, with a stop in London at the Oval Space on February 26th. They’ll head back to the US in March for more shows, including appearances at SXSW. Check all their dates and other info here.
To celebrate the upcoming tour, the foursome unveiled a video for ‘Black Pitch’, featuring Satomi on a boat going down the river Thames before disappearing into the North Sea. Gary McQuiggan directs. Watch it below.
