There's never any shortage of new music to hear and view. As such, here's a small smattering of some I've encountered lately. First up!

Tristen - "Stimulation (I Can't Get No)" - from a new 7" release with 3 tracks.

---

Hompulon - a collaborative project from Matt Glassmeyer and Tom Spiker. "Hompulon is an alien hot potato of angst, confusion, bliss, brooding, and calm, passed back and forth to avoid radiation." I can't classify what genre this encroaches on but it's instrumental compositions filled with reeded instruments, pedal steel, drum machine, synth and a landscape of emotions.

William Tyler - Time Indefinite - To appreciate this fully I think you need to read through the "about" text that accompanies it; primarily the part where Tyler finds an ancient tape machine and begins making tape loops that make their way into this record. There's only 3 songs available at the moment but they are immersive soundscapes, sometimes chaotic and abrasive and sometimes gently coddling. Sometimes all of the above. Can't wait to hear the whole thing.

Tennessee Rhythm Company - another project that Matt Glassmeyer has some involvement in but with a much different vibe. These four tracks are steeped in R&B; complete with Wultizer, Moog and plenty of perfect horns. Dare I say a bit of funky vibes work there way in there too. Current favorite work mix on repeat.
