FFO: endings, eight hours of sick jams

SHIP/SHAPE/SUNDAY is now done. This final episode, number 23 for those keeping score, features 105 tracks over roughly eight hours of music. These are tracks that got me through the winter, through quarantine and into our nebulous, often terrifying now. Each one means a lot to me, each band / artist...

No new episode of SHIP/SHAPE this month, BUT! Bernie contributed a (pseudo) deep-listening session to Coral Morphologic's super rad Coral City Camera mix series! It features some new and less new faves that he thought would augment the experience of looking at fish. It's sort of about looong fades and the weather and the seasons and the world we're living in.

Uploaded the new ep of SHIP/SHAPE! Stoked to include one from John Doran and Mark Dicker's new project, Self-Help, and a Six Organs of Admittance track inspired by Kristen Gallerneaux's (brilliant) High Static, Dead Lines.

There is a lot of cello.

FFO: CELLO, ego death, the idea of blast beats, cracked devotional drumming, nature's indifference to man, cosmic mysteries

Bernie says this is the best ep he's ever done. That's gotta count for something.

We've come in from the cold with our first proper episode of 2020. Stoked to include a track from John Doran and Mark Dicker's new project, Self-Help, and to close this thing out with a track inspired by Kristen Gallerneaux's High Static, Dead Lines. ALSO, there is a lot of cello. Mood board: CELLO,...

Part four of our year's-end mix series is finally here! Through this celebration of our favorite EPs and miscellany (comps, mixtapes, reissues, etc.) of 2019, we lay the decade to rest and look forward into the bright sun of a new decade, and lo! the maths of the universe shall be revealed unto us. Actually, probably not. You shouldn't stare into the sun for too long if you can help it.

Anyway, our album-of-the-year-maker Larry Gus kicks it off, then come the EPs as listed in our AOTY feature, then comes the miscellany, also as listed.

Then we'll serve up some tracks from DFA RECORDS, Berceuse Heroique, Smalltown Supersound, Drawing Room Records, Geographic North, Empty Cellar Records, Umor Rex, Hyperdub Records, Sonic Cathedral, Honest Electronics, and other such manufactories of musical miracles.
