I got this and Leech's first demo at a show about a month ago. 35 minutes of nature inspired music from one of Cascadia's better bands. This demo is comprised of two tracks with 3 bonus tracks, two of which are live songs, and the last being a speech.

Gnome - Under The Black Moon - (1996)

Genre: Ambient Black Metal

I suppose I'm posting again now. Especially now that I'm predominantly listening to black metal again. Hello black metal, it's me. Sorry for betraying you.

Gnome is a mysterious one man black metal band from Japan. Two demos and a split were released in the bands career. Under the Black Moon is arguably the strongest release.

Two tracks span 25 minutes in this demo, the first being a black metal song called "La Foret", and the second is an ambient song titled "La Mer". The songs are long but not in any way boring and the production gives an atmosphere that makes me wish there was more recorded material from this project.

More great noise pop from Pug Records. I'm really liking everything that's coming out by this young label.

This is a great mix between 90's bands, and newer noise pop stuff. Check it out!

I think I'm going crazy.

David Liebe Hart and Adam Papagan - Public Access - (2008)

Genre: Outsider/Pop

Info

This is all I've been listening to for the past week or so. David Liebe Hart is a puppeteer, failed comedian, Christian Scientist, and believer in aliens. You'll hear songs about his failed comedy career, how he was abducted by aliens, and whatever else he can go on a rant about. Highlights for me are "I remember", "Tim Heidecker Lied To Me", and the 13 minute "Story Of David Liebe Hart"

Statue + Cowboy - 3 Songs by Statue + Cowboy (demo) - 2010

Okay, so I've been recording lately, and this is an early result of what I've been doing. It's something like a noisier Beat Happening or Black Tambourine, but I take influence from bands like that, black metal, and everything in between. Expect to hear songs about longing, distance, and nostalgia.

So please take a listen, and if you like it and have a blog or something feel free to post this.

Abner Jay - The True Story of Abner Jay

Genre: Blues/Folk

This album was getting around the blogosphere a few months ago, but a few months ago I didn't have a blog...

Abner Jay was a traveling one man band active throughout the 30s, 40s, and 50s, and he's the only blues musician I really listen to much. His individual take on songwriting will take you through topics such as depression, drug use, and war.
