\"Greenpot<\/p>\n

Greenpot Bluepot<\/a> is the solo project of\u00a0 New York based avant-garde experimentalist Natalie LeBrecht.<\/p>\n

April 3rd will see the release of her new LP Ascend at the Dead End<\/em>. LeBrecht performed and produced the album and she brought in Matt Mannelli and Animal Collective’s Avey Tare to co-mix it.<\/p>\n

Here’s what the issued press release says about it:<\/p>\n

“It’s both Greenpot Bluepot’s liveliest record to date and the most disorienting thing you’re likely to hear any time soon, a party with tiny mutated creatures writhing right under the dance floor. The idea, LeBrecht explains, was to make pop music with the tools of experimental music, or vice versa. (A lot of the album was written in microtonal tunings; some of it was composed over the course of many months; some of it, including the closing “Melting Sword,” was improvised.) The closer attention you pay to its songs, the richer and more complicated they get.”<\/p>\n
