Plutonic Rainbows

James Ferraro - Troll

Stereogum:

Enigmatic vaporwave prankster James Ferraro has just behaved like enigmatic vaporwave prankster James Ferraro and uploaded a new collection of music to Bandcamp without any warning or description. Appropriately enough, it’s called Troll, and its cover art appears to be a poorly compressed MS Paint doodle. But the music is both weirder and better than that slapdash presentation suggests, and you can hear all five tracks here.

Rod Modell - dawn, dusk and darkness

The first book of photography by Rod Modell, a collection of over 100 personal photographs made during an 8 week stay in Barcelona during April-June 2016. A CD of Barcelona field-recordings and emotional atmospheric sounds by Rod Modell (that were influenced by the images) is also be included.

These unique images and musical textures emphasize the darker, nocturnal side of Barcelona, and capture fleeting seconds that occurred between the moments that others noticed.

Obsequies - Organn

Knives are proud to present the debut release from Belgian artist Obsequies, entitled Organn.

At its core, Organn is a record about love and duality. Taking inspiration from Isidore-Lucien Ducasse's poem 'Les Chants de Maldoror', the record is antagonistic yet often drops its temper to reveal blistered beauty within the fray. Such are the condradictory elements within the compositions themselves: widescreen claustrophobia; glimmering sludge; piercing VHS ambience.

Yamaneko - Spa Commissions

Very nice album from this artist. The music is very evocative of those New Age Healing tapes that were popular back in the mid-to late 1980s.

You can read an in-depth interview with the artist and buy the album over at the Bandcamp page.

Meat Beat Manifesto - Impossible Star

You can preview one track from the forthcoming album, 'We Are Surrounded' here. The album is due on 19th January. Pre-orders are available at Bandcamp.
