David Tagg - Established Trees

I've recently been given the happy privilege of introducing David Tagg's music to the cassette format for the first time ever! Out now at the super-DIY cassette-only imprint CO_RD Tapes...

Containing what I'd consider to be some of David's finest work to date, Established Trees is thick, organic guitar overload. The A side is a towering piece with long sweeping chords covered in a dusky reverb, while the B side sounds as if it were dug up in a swamp somewhere deep in the southeastern US. Loaded with hidden melodies and rich texture, this tape is sure to be a real treat for anyone who enjoys abstracted guitar music. For David Tagg fans - there are only 25 copies so act fast!

Coppice Halifax Vs. Dorosoto

It seems that the good folks at I, Absentee just couldn't get enough of me! I was recently asked by Mr. Dorosoto himself to not only do a remix for his upcoming remix album, but also to master it! I obliged, and so the resulting effort, titled Embryonic Audio Restoration, is now available at I, Absentee for preorder.

In addition to what is one of my personal favorite Coppice Halifax remixes ever, the disc also includes the talents of Tobacco, Lunar Testing Lab, Anders Ilar, Jack Marchment and several others! My personal favorites are the Cru Jonez and Lunar Testing Lab remixes.

Go support these wonderful midwesterners and tell them Milieu sent you!

Milieu - Tidewater Petrol

A brand new Milieu EP, hot on the heels of the Swaying Palms album. Picking up the dancefloor-friendly hints from Palms, this tight little three-tracker shows Milieu in prime four-to-the-floor mode. Possibly more danceable than just about anything else in the catalog, with bouncing uptempo grooves, mental change-ups and planetarium-sized pad swells. Psychedelic club music to liven up the typically bittersweet downtempo party here at Milieu Music. Limited to 50 copies on mini-CD-R.

Vhom - Blackener

A digital-only EP full of abrasive and mental analog drum experimentation. Vhom returns from the brutality of Faalopian Tils with an industrial-strength dancefloor stomper and two weird-out drum jams. For fans of previous output by Vhom as well as complex and gritty dark IDM. Download comes with a free bonus: the Test.Vmx EP (MML017).

Brian Grainger - Noxious Variations

On the beatless side of things this month is a companion piece to thirty catalog numbers back (Porous Variations). Initially intended to come out alongside PV, Noxious was shelved due to PV's length getting absurdly long (3 discs). It has since aged in the blackness, and with a little work to bring it up to date, sounds all the more earthy because of the wait. Recorded in an entirely different process that included distance-microphone setups, guitar playing with two (or no) strings, dying batteries in chained pedals and looping room noises. Crumbled, dark and yet somehow warm and surreal. The deeper end of experimental drones for this month's update. Limited to 50.

Pink Space - Let Me Show You Them

After five webreleases spread out since 2005, Pink Space has finally landed in the shop on a hard-copy release. Sporting a wild 45 track/40 minute runtime, Pink Space plays through dozens of moods and styles in a collection of colorful and playful electronic music. Much more lighthearted than Milieu, but with elements of things that I've not done under any other alias...drum'n'bass, acid, jungle, electro, it's all here. Roll down your windows, turn up your woofer in your trunk and drive down your street blaring some hot pink nonsense. Limited to 50 copies.

Coppice Halifax - Blackforest Dirt

We're now up to number nine in the Analog Botany series, and this time around things get a little more gritty and a little more melodic than usual. Going back to the sound of earlier Coppice Halifax (see: EEDCD-08) texturally, Blackforest Dirt brings a high level of sonic debris into the otherwise clean white audio space. The second track, "Forest" drifts off on a blissful melodic tangent that could nearly be a Milieu moment. Limited to 50.
