Weekly Picks and Misc. for June 9
2 Songs Water Damage is something like the negative-frequency sine wave to Joshua Abrams & Natural Information Society. That’s not a dig, the music is phenomenally addictive. Heavy drone with three drummers and two bassists, painted covers, all in rich Texan glory.
The Alte Münze Sessions The Names has an awesome line-up (Heather Frasch, Carina Khorkhordina, Koen Nutters, Han-earl Park, and Quentin Tolimieri) and this is their first album, out on the recently launched Waveform Alphabet. A really outstanding recording from early last year. Hope to hear more from The Names soon.
