i quite enjoyed sheffield’s 65 days of static’s last record, one time for all time. their glitchy, squarepusher inspired version of math rock breaks up the monotony of a sometimes very tiring genre. they have a new record entitled the destruction of small ideas and are opening for the cure during their fall tour. the problem with instrumental bands is that sometimes taking individual tracks out of the context of the entire record doesnt quite do em justice. such is the case, i hope, with these two tracks off of the destruction of small ideas. they are not bad by any means, but neither stood out as something i havent already heard 100 times before.
when we were younger and better
they play atlanta on 7.23 @ the masquerade and then on 9.15 w/ the cure

i dont know much about josh preston other than he is half owner of me and the machine records, he has a record entitled between memory and mortality, and i really dig the song “picture” off said record.
i dont pay enough attention to carla bozulich although i know i should. why dont i you ask? i cant come up with a good excuse. everything she has done since the geraldine fibbers lost somewhere between the earth and my home i have been completely enamored by. her take on willie nelson’s red headed stranger is absolutely wonderful and last years evangelista is pretty great. again, whats my problem?
