Joseph Branciforte and Theo Bleckmann on LP1 made their debut together released back in the summer. On Greyfade, a new record label Branciforte launching this year and which Branciforte explained featured “high-resolution editions of experimental electronic music, algorithmic composition, ambient, and minimalist chamber music.” Bleckmann provides vocals and electronics while Branciforte plays modular synthesizers, fender rhodes, and introduces tape loops and processing. A fascinating blend, by turn moody and dark, experimental and ambient, a mighty unearthly universe that the two have created.

As previously reported Brooklyn band Moon Hooch are back with Life on Other Planets in early-2020 and have already trailed 'Candlelight' from the upcoming album.

Not an awful lot of extensive improvisation on 'Nonphysical' to be fair but you do not rock up to the Moon Hooch cave for that necessarily but it is all very relatable. You never know dip your toes in here and before you know it you're going mad for The Thing. Moon Hooch are Michael Wilbur on the highly unusual bass saxophone plus synthesizers; Wenzl McGowen on tenor saxophone and synths and James Muschler, drums. Depeche Mode never sounded like this. What's going on?
