Performing across the northeast the past 3 years they have developed a unique style of sound which combines Keszler's piercing high pitched resonances from bowed crotales and cymbals with Paul's altissimo sustains and drastic pitch bends on alto saxophone and clarinet. The split tone combinations from these instruments is surprising and overwhelming, creating continuously shifting, multi-layered harmonics and intense inner ea…
Aliens Are Real
“Aliens Are Real” is the debut album from experimental ambient artist UFOm. It was submitted as a demo by the artist, who wishes to remain anonymous due to their involvement with a low-profile religious organization.

His instrumental electronic music blends mellow and playful tones, characterized by plucky, offbeat sound design and wavering, askew melodies. Geran’s composition process is akin to a sketch on paper, slowly evolving and mutating as elements are added, subtracted, and altered. His debut LP for Moon Glyph, “Figures of Speech”, utilizes circular, melodic repetition found in mini…

Today, bootlegging has become fetishized as an aesthetic in and of itself, influencing everything from underground record labels to DIY T-shirts, publishing…
