[Jason Brogan]

selections from Tombstones (2006-10) by Michael Pisaro

"[A] gorgeous, mournful dismantling of pop music, from The Beatles to DJ Screw, confronts the notions of sampling and information density with psychoacoustic surfaces as challenging as they are beautiful."

with Jason Brogan, Tucker Dulin, Andrew Lafkas, Katie Porter, Sam Sfirri, and Ron Wiltrout; contributions by Greg Stuart

the exerpts from this sound fantastic.
Very nicely recorded, and to my ears like a more affectless (not meant negatively), precise Charalambides in parts.

Really great idea as well.

The LP is out, right? Are any copies available in the US?

For anyone who cares, Michael has informed me that the record should be out on Nov. 5, and erstdist should be carrying them about two weeks after their release.

Just listening to this now (on Spotify, of all places) - gorgeous stuff. Off to get me a real copy this afternoon, assuming I can find one in Paris..

Ah, maybe I should wait for that. Vinyl looks tempting, though. But (sigh) I doubt I'll be able to find one here. Only two decent record shops left in town, and one of them is only open a couple of days a week.

What two shops are those?
