loveandmath — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 19:24:45 +0000

Gabe Goodman – Midnight Sour EP

loveandmath — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 20:54:11 +0000

Just like David Bowie, Gabe Goodman tries out something new with each record.

On this one, he and producer Will Radin beat the Junior Boys at their own game.

“Midnight Sour”

The SIM Album 2012

loveandmath — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 03:38:15 +0000

The styles vary greatly — from hip-hop to folk to dark Americana to subtle and not-so-subtle electronic — across the 24 tracks on this mammoth compilation. But exceptional quality runs throughout. Testament to the creative energy of artists working under the auspices of The Studio for Interrelated Media at Mass Art.

Available from Bandcamp.

The Caretaker – An Empty Bliss Beyond This World

loveandmath — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 03:16:16 +0000

I might have missed this lp, from last summer, entirely had Paul of Jukebox Heart not spoken so highly of it.

Haunting, wonderful, and totally original.

“A Relationship with the Sublime”

The War On Drugs – I Was There

loveandmath — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 03:05:18 +0000

Great live performance of a great track from their lp, “Slave Ambient” (Secretly Canadian 2011).
