EAR INFLUXION

Words about electronic & experimental music

SINCE 2010

Garbage: “Milk (Goldie’s VIP Mix)” (1996) Matt was playing the Massive Attack remix of this tune earlier and it prompted me to dig through my library and rediscover Goldie’s...

Squarepusher: “Dark Steering” (Warp) New track and video from the forthcoming Squarepusher album, Ufabulum. It’s nice to hear Mr. Jenkinson at the top of his game again.(Source:...

The Hacker: Magical Voyage (Tigersushi Periculum No. 5) (Tigersushi) I remember reading a review of the Hacker’s last album with Miss Kittin on Pitchfork.com that basically trashed...

Nine Inch Nails: “Head Like a Hole (Opal Mix)” (Head Like a Hole, TVT 1989) I’d never heard this remix, since it didn’t appear on the main maxi-single. I dig it!(Source:...

Skinny Puppy: “Sore In a Masterpiece” (Back & Forth Series Two, 1981-84) I had the impulse to go back and listen to old Skinny Puppy tracks tonight… and while I may not listen...

Mouse On Mars: “Polaroyced” (Parastrophics, Monkeytown) One of my favorite tracks off my easily-favorite album of 2012 so far.(Source: https://www.youtube.com/)

C.L.A.W.S.: Cave In (Discaire) “Cave In” is a really handsome piece of late night techy house that continues to deliver as it evolves. I’m partial to the de-tuned synth...

A Winged Victory For The Sullen: “We Played Some Open Chords” (Kranky, 2011) Still stops me in my tracks every time I hear it. Easily one of the best ambient records of the last 10 years.

Clark: “Black Stone” (Iradelphic, Warp 2012) A new video and clip from Chris Clark’s newest album, out this week on Warp. I picked it up a few days ago and I’m slowly...

John Tejada & Justin Maxwell: Our Gigantic Mistake (Palette) John Tejada once again teams up with Justin Maxwell on this 3-track EP on Tejada’s own Palette imprint. The title...

Deaf Center: “Time Spent” (Owl Splinters, Type 2011) One of the shortest and prettier tracks on Deaf Center’s last album, one of my favorites of the year.

Oren Ambarchi: Audience of One (Touch) Guitarist and ambient experimenter Oren Ambarchi released his latest album of solo material on Touch in late January. He’s always been somewhat...

Perc: Wicker & Steel (Perc Trax) Alistair Wells, the Perc Trax head honcho himself brings it full force with this wicked collection of techno tracks. And it’s a true beast — 50+...

High Places: “Sophia” (Original Colors, Thrill Jockey 2011) I never got a chance to give props to High Places’ last album, which earned a slot in my admittedly bloated and not very...
