SUNDRIPS
Dream Studies C40

For the first Sundrips release of twenty twelve, Montréalais Ryan Connolly and Nick Maturo offer a set of six tracks cut during the same era that gave us last year's very excellent Just A Glimpse CD. Dream Studies is essentially split right down the middle in terms of tone, with the A side offering huge waves of almost punishing synth drones, and the B side acting as its counterpart, calming things down with long, drawn-out waves of calm ambience, eventually climaxing on the utterly blissful final track (see below).

Pro-dubbed TDK SA high bias cassettes limited to 75 hand-assembled and hand-numbered copies.

BASIC HOUSE
Ambrosias Vol. 1 C76

Over the course of Basic House's vast debut, UK resident Stephen Bishop explores a myriad of abstract- and drone-oriented styles with perfect ease, from the stacked sheets of noise laid out on opener ABC Ambrosia to the ambient spatial studies making up the rest of the first side. Ambrosias takes even more unexpected turns on its second side, with album centerpiece Panasonium/Mastrioshka Brain using its all-too-short 17+ minutes to conclusively demonstrate that this is a very special debut indeed.

Pro-dubbed TDK SA high bias cassettes limited to 50 hand-assembled and hand-numbered copies.

PHYLUM CHILD
In the Sawdust Lobby C32

In the Sawdust Lobby sees US East Coasters Ryan Scally (aka Orange Blossom Flyover) and Matt Billington (aka Heirloom) join forces as Phylum Child for a short and sweet affair that seamlessly blends sunshine indie pop and shoegaze-y rock with lo-fi bedroom experimentalism. Just what you need for those dim and cold winter evenings.
