Philip Seymour Hoffman / Mutual Benefit Split

Jordan of Mutual Benefit's own Kassette Klub will release a split with the FMLY's Philip Seymour Hoffman (Noah Klein) this December. Jordan has had a steady flow of material released, the latest prior to this being the Mutual Spirits split from Father/Daughter Records. Noah on the other hand has been keeping to himself. Both sides of the tape are reminiscent of the artists' back catalog.

Viernes - Lightyear

"Lightyear" is the first song to be released following Viernes' debut album Sinister Devices. "Lightyear" is an ambient piece, contrasting greatly from the song structures on Sinister Devices, and consistent with what Alberto has been doing with his solo project Acquoi (formerly Galleries).

VIDEO: Woodsman - Parallel Minds

Woodsman has just released Mystic Places through Trevor's own Fire Talk.





Parallel Minds is a mellower jam on Mystic Places. It contrasts my experience of their current live performances, which seem to teeter more on the side of "Tone Cloak" or more straight-forward "From The Vision Hand". The exploring Woodsman does from song to song on Mystic Places highlights different aspects of their psychedelic rock sound, only changing subtley enoungh to still allow for seamless transitions from start to end.

Purchase Mystic Places on vinyl through Fire Talk Records.
