Nomadic Firs is the brainchild project of Knoxville, Tennessee native Ryan Boos.
His self-titled debut album will be available digitally and on a limited edition tape format on May 8th via Crash Symbols.
‘Cover Bombs’ is the second single lifted from the upcoming album, it made me forget all about the rainy clouds outside.
It follows ‘Vines’, another sun-filled uplifting track. As Nomadic Firs puts it, “you deserve a little bit of sunshine”.
Hailing from Tokyo, Mouse On The Keys are an instrumental post-rock electronic jazz trio formed in 2006 and consisting of Akira Kawasaki (drum, keyboards), Atsushi Kiyota (piano, keyboards) and Daisuke Niitome (piano, keyboards).
They have just announced the release of a new EP called Machinic Phylum, due out on July 18th via Machu Picchu Industrias. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for new tracks and more info about this.
If you haven’t yet savoured their music, here’s a couple of stunning tracks to blow you away, ‘Spectres De Mouse’ off 2009’s An Anxious Object and ‘Saigo No Basan’, off 2007’s Sezession. Both albums were released via Machu Pichu Industrias in Japan and Denovali in the rest of the world. Enjoy.

One of the exclusive releases from last Saturday’s Record Store Day bonanza comes from the hands of Annie Clark aka St. Vincent in the form of a limited red 7″ vinyl.
The release includes brand new single ‘Krokodil’ and b-side ‘Grot’, two addictive and electrifying monster tracks.
According to 4AD, this RSD release “sheds new light on Clark’s aggressive guitar chops“.
St. Vincent sure knows how to rock everyone out. Here’s ‘Krokodil’ and ‘Grot’.
