i must confess i'm not much into their stuff. pleasant album, but nothing more.

very very nice, the usual lo-fi pop + electronica you expect from tomlab.

the album is okay, she mainly works with self-made and recycled metallic
objects.

very nice track. it deals with a kind of "restraint": i mean it looks like
the track is always on the verge of exploding, but it never does.


>> PAN AMERICAN//Redline//The River That Made No Sound

pleasant.

well, throw in bits of post-rock and new chicago jazz, some "primitive
american music" (john fahey, arthur russell, jimmy giuffre), add the deep
minimalism of tony conrad and morton feldman and you get it.

yes, it is. richard and taylor have been great to us (btw cheers to both of
them). it has been generally well received and reviewed on american
magazines (ambientrance, faqt, xlr8r, boston's weekly dig, grooves,
incursion). in fact we got just one negative review on vital weekly
(frankly speaking: an out-of-focus one, not because it was negative, but
because it totally failed to catch the issue). anyway, look out for our -
hopefully - forthcoming album "rjctd::nw".
ciao, best :: nic
