Future Ape Tapes

Taken from their website, Future Ape Tapes "is forever a low frequency, altered state, animal totem band machine from Athens, GA. Comprised of a two piece foundation, D* and Tom(b) TV have made sounds to zone out to since 2006." Future Ape Tapes releases include the solo effort of Tom(b) Television.



Their latest release entitled Reincarnations>>>> dates back to March 2011, though in December 2011 Future Ape Tapes announced they were writing new songs and working on a new EP; be on the look out for new material soon.



Tom(b) Television released Idiosyncapator in December of 2010. The artists described it with these words: "Idiosyncapator was made by Future Ape Tapes co-founder Tom(b) Television, aka Tommy TV, Bhagdaddy as a solo endeavor. Recorded half on 4-track, half on to the computer, it is a collection of songs about reincarnation, gender and other identity crisis, as well as meditations on the relation between author and audience. While predominantly referencing hip-hop in style, Idiosyncapator also marks a conscious departure from this paradigm with experiments into guitar-based song structures. Enjoy!"

Little Spoon

Former Mutual Benefit live member Cameron Potter is Little Spoon from Boston. On March 30th, after just returning from a month long tour with SPORTS and Mutual Benefit, Little Spoon released Dreem Sweet. Cameron had this to say about it: "it's a sleep album. it's meant for sleeping to. if you listen to it whilst wide awake (or not stoned), you might not have as good a time. but i implore you to listen anywhoo."


Download Dreem Sweet amongst a handful of other releases on bandcamp.

Temples

Temples is the collaboration of Tiny Waves writer Steve of Dark Sea of Awareness and Henry from Attached Hands. Though they haven't performed lately, as far as I know the project isn't dead. Above is a performance from September 2010 at Mojo in Tampa.

Bayatas

Bayatas evolved from Tree Hopping, the solo music project of Gabriel Berrios. During this transitional time, he has relocated from Gainesville to Miami. He has just released the hand effect/what is the dream for free on bandcamp. If he stays steady at the pace he has been for the past few years, we should expect a Bayatas full length soon. To learn more about Bayatas, read our interview. and be sure to read Gabriel's words on the new project over at PORTALS.
