it's weird how global splodges on the map become cool (in the western world that is). one minute it's paris, then canada, then seattle, and now, my darlings, it is mexico.

NB: the u.k. continuously lets everyone down.*

Mr. Mou, one 1/2 of 'xyx', a kind of mexican, post-punk version of Lightning Bolt, makes his very own shoegaze with experimental cherries in the mix of cake. like the Sea & Cake played through a child's just-been-born bracelet with someone lurking in the hospital with a marshall mini-amp attached to their doctor coat. real. and good.

it seems ambience is at last being explored for the better.

Brightblack Morning Light know wilderness, and love ambience, residing in a teepee in new mexico, and making music so chilled and generous it's enough to make you join them. "the world's first hippy 'shagging album'" is what their newy is according to +1 magazine, and it's hard to disagree when you're this turned on. the sound of smoke in the bracken, the sound of dry sex and the sound of someone asking you, sincerely,

'wanna come look for firewood with me?'.
