bitchin' bajas ~ vibraquatic (kallistei, 2012)

"Vibraquatic is the new multimedia collaboration of Cooper Crain’s Bitchin Bajas (Cave) and globetrotting film-maker Olivia Wyatt (Sublime Frequencies).  In Vibraquatic, three psychedelic movements are paired with lush prismatic distortions and intense ritual behaviors. fans of Terry Riley and Bryon Gysin will not be disappointed. get into the zone." kallistei

“melodías analógicas, meditativas, arpeggios en loop y valles de calma tonal que le emparentan directamente con la obra de Emeralds, así como con pioneros del pasado como Harmonia, Edgar Froese o Cluster. tras haber publicado dos lps y splits con Moon Duo y Faceplant, Bitchin Bajas publica ahora Vibraquatic, una colección de videos a cargo de la artista Olivia Wyatt a los que Bitchin’ Bajas ha puesto banda sonora.” giradiscos

plankton wat ~ spirits (thrill jockey, 2012)

"Plankton Wat’s Spirits album reflects the undeniable chakra-centering power of Portland Dewey Mahood, who also plays with Eternal Tapestry, Garden Sound, and Edibles. on Spirits, Mahood refines his psych-rock proclivities into tranquil emanations reminiscent of Alice Coltrane and Don Cherry’s most sacred gestures and the liquid bliss of Sensations’ Fix’s “Music Is Painting in the Air.” the ten tracks here radiate a holy, pastoral beauty, making Spirits an early contender for my top albums of 2012 list." the stranger

"the music is inspired by the pacific northwest environment, the mountains and coastline, the weather, sky and clouds, and my closest friends." dewey mahood
