New Moon Glyph: Food Pyramid II / Living Image.
December 2, 2010, 1 comments
Fresh and still burning hot out of the oven, two new cassette releases on Minnesota’s Moon Glyph, very amazing productions that both deserve a few lines of introduction.
Only a little while after dropping I on Moon Glyph, the Minneapolis psych outfit Food Pyramid is already back with their aptly titled follow-up II, roughly 45 minutes of densely orchestrated soundscapes, instantly captivating noise produced by all kinds of electronic devices that evoke memories of 70s glory day psychedelic music. The tracks are playful with an almost improvised feel yet always remain stringent and never lose traction: Music is math, and this is math in its highest form.
Equally noisy in its approach but still very different is Camden’s Living Image, a considerably dark output of Daughters of the Sun (who will have a Not Not Fun release soon) member Cole Weiland. Over bubbling synth patterns, Living Image is focused on Weiland’s heavily distorted (or otherwise manipulated) and haunting vocals, all together producing deliberately harsh noises that result in an astonishing output of sheer musical massiveness, as unforeseen as truly amazing.
Both tapes are already available, order them here.
