western standards


"out of the swirling murky depths, a shimmering aura rises upward. the source remains hidden beneath dark currents as phosphorescent ripples lap the shoreline. combining atmospheric drones with dissonant guitars and carefully layered electronics, Western Standards paint an audio landscape as inspired by the early pioneers of tape manipulation and minimal composition as it is by contemporary artists use of cutting edge technology" sweat lodge guru

"I am particularly excited about this release as it is somewhat of a departure from my other material: more organic, a bit more drone-y,..." western standards

mpala garoo / sunbells fenimore / kon tiki gemini

"Mpala Garoo is Ivan from Moscow who also plays in a duo Kon Tiki Gemini and Sunbells Fenimore. Ivan plays a similar kind of summery tropical heat-haze as Ducktails." not for resale
"Music crafted for the sunny and tropical paradises of our minds. Seasonal temperament is shared via magnetic vibes; we can all exist in the same balmy and tropical headstate no matter what our physical locale may be. Pure vibrations that ebb and flow on the appeal of tidal moons." sweat lodge guru

"Pairing the side-projects of luminaries like Mpala Garoo, Magic Beach, Hobo Cubes, and Bedroom Bear, this split from Kon Tiki Gemini and Cavernes begins with a roiling hot mudbath of crackling drones and claustrophobic melodies on the a-side. The kind that cakes to your hide and doesn’t slough off until your skin does. Cavernes softens the dried glaze with a gauze of shimmering notes on the flip, then peels your face off with sheer will to expose the beautiful, porcelain bones beneath..." sweat lodge guru
