Altered Zones

It's easy to drown in the vast, bottomless sea of a painfully prolific artist's material. And while we've been following folk-infused French droners Natural Snow Buildings since 2008's Dancers of the Moon and the Sun, it's hard to keep up their countless double albums and three-way splits dating as far back as 1997. So we were stoked that Impose singled out their latest, Waves of the Random Sea, and said with true fanboy conviction, Waves is "a true piece of art, something you can never get a feel for with just a cold, lifeless MP3." In honor of that, we decided to embed a video with the static image of the song's artwork, instead of a cold, lifeless MP3. --Ric Leichtung, International Tapes

Grab Waves of the Random Sea from Blackest Rainbow, and listen to a track from last year's free two-part album The Centauri Agent courtesy of Vulpiano Records:
