Sunday Noise

Minimal psych twosome Moon Duo’s Ripley Johnson and Sanae Yamada are partners on and off stage who’ve recently relocated from the bustling psych scene of San Francisco to Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. Originally started as a side project of Ripley’s main band, Wooden Shjips, the duo earned its fair share of praise with songs built on a hypnotically repetitive foundation of organ, fuzzy guitar and simple percussion. Their new Album Circles is coming out on October 02 and it’s already been spinning at heavy rotation here at the office.

Moon Duo:

Minimal psych twosome Moon Duo’s Ripley Johnson and Sanae Yamada are partners on and off stage who’ve recently relocated from the bustling psych scene of San Francisco to Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. Originally started as a side project of Ripley’s main band, Wooden Shjips, the duo earned its fair share of praise with songs built on a hypnotically repetitive foundation of organ, fuzzy guitar and simple percussion. 2011 debut full-length Mazes featured subtle variations that were definitely worth navigating, and they recently released a collection of Mazes remixes.

Man Forever:

Man forever is John Colpitts, best known as the drummer for Oneida. Colpitts is a multi-instrumentalist and composer, and during this 2012 fall tour he’ll be performing his piece “Surface Patterns” together with local musicians all over Europe. Below you can hear the track as it is performed on his last Thrill Jockey release, but on stage he’ll ad another 10 minutes to that. This is loud, repetitive, slowly phase-shifting drone music at its best.
