Denseland: Scrape It Up

Denseland’s album Chunk is one of the most impressive to these ears in recent years. They are trio made up of David Moss, Hannes Srobl, and Hanno Leichtmann. Moss is familiar through his work with John Zorn and other ‘downtown players’ during the 80s and early 90s in New York and this recording carries strong traces of this DNA, blended with a kind of post Can/Czukay sound/rhythm world.

Animated puppetry style video for new Snorkel single

The Deadskin video was made by a friend of ours, Shaw Petronio. He has previously made videos for the band Sparks and Ben was involved in the live VJing performance on some of their tours. With a nod to Terry Gilliam, Shaw uses a cut-up animated puppetry style against a backdrop of film collage to convey an alienated souls’ indifference to a major catastrophe.

Step Across The Border: Morning Song

Step Across The Border is a film that follows Fred Frith and various musicians playing, rehearsing, and improvising, interspersed with interviews, conversations and observations shot beautifully in black and white. It’s an amazing film about music which manages to combine incredible performances with moments of the everyday as he travels through various locations. This is a short clip from the film that features Iva Bittova and Pavel Fait.

Driven by a wide spectrum of influences, the music of Brass Bed moves easily through an eclectic mix of genres: from alt-country ballads and progressive rock hooks, to sticky-sweet, heart-felt lyrics, and dissonant experimental freak-outs. As some wise folk have noted, it’s kinda like a cross between The Beach Boys and The Flaming Lips. Now, how could that be a bad thing? We have two of their songs — Olivia [listen below] and Polar Bird — available for free download in the Music Download section in the third column of Lost At E Minor.
