I Am Wilbraham is a never ending solo project full of half baked ideas that never reach fruition, I'm not sure whether it's time related or simply because I'm no good at finishing anything. Go forth and half listen.....
Below is a video I made of myself growing a beard (soon to be replaced with an even more ambitious version) soundtracked with another half baked Wilbraham musical experiment.....
Svarte Greiner (Deaf Center/Miasmah/Type) explores deep into a dark, mysterious and disturbing universe. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Earth, Volcano the Bear, David Darling & Deathprod, the music is draped in Lynchian mysticism and horror film cinematics. "The music of Svarte Greiner is practically perfect. It's like that sound in our heads we've been imagining for ages but had never actually heard." - Type Records.
The Sight Below (Rafael Anton Irisarri/Miasmah/Immune) draws as much on modern genre progenitors like Brian Eno, Robin Guthrie and My Bloody Valentine as it does from the more historic traditions in neo-classicism from Erik Satie and Olivier Messiaen. His album Glider has appeared on Thom Yorke's radar in making the Radiohead's lynchpin's top ten playlist.
His debut album Navigare soon to feature on the Miasmah label, Simon Scott (former Slowdive) is set to be a household name in conceptual music. Simon is the former Slowdive drummer, co-producer of Televise, producer of Seavault, and owner of KESH Recordings label.
Machinefabriek is amongst the finest experimental/electronic artists of today. His ultra-prolific back catalogue showcases his ability to perfect classical ambience, organic drone soundscapes, electronic minimalism and cathartic noise. He is hailed as one of the most interesting new experimental musicians by the Wire magazine.
Xela is the shady, underworld atmospheres and improv horrors of John Twells, owner of Type Records. "Xela has always been able to pre-empt the shifting tides of electronic music and deliver a statement that's definitively of its time” (Boomkat).
His debut album Navigare soon to feature on the Miasmah label, Simon Scott is set to be a household name in conceptual music. Simon is the former Slowdive drummer, co-producer of Televise, producer of Seavault, and owner of KESH Recordings label.
"This electrifying debut, seemingly out of nowhere, is a living, breathing reminder of what alternative guitar music can and should be" - 9 / 10 (CD Times)
In fact, I've just realised (and it broke my heart) that I will never again be involved in a piece of music as good as 'Stay Down' -ever again, so lets put it up on myspace - then I can retire fromthe rock game and become a happy cheesemonger, living out my days in peace.
From the Pandaz Pop Website: "Featuring seven brand new recordings by Plans & Apologies, "Wirez, Man!" expands and explores further into the P&A sound than previous efforts, constantly and smoothly switching in tone and pace and keeping the listener interested with a variety of ideas, consistently stimulating the listener around the general ear and brain regions and eventually bringing you to the kind of orgasm a man could only dream of offering. Yeah, sister. Damn straight."
The new Plans & Apologies EP is out TODAY and is available to:
