CMJ is finally here! While we couldn't be more stoked to present our own party at the New Museum this Saturday with Trash Talk, Eric Copeland, araabMUZIK, and Atlas Sound, among others, there's four other nights of music to behold. Read on to see the CMJ shows that you absolutely can't miss. --Ric Leichtung, Altered Zones
Seth Haley's music project, Com Truise, just dropped "Polyhurt," a track off his upcoming album, Galactic Melt. There's no doubt that chillhaters won't get behind the project's painfully stereotypical tropic imagery, and that chillravers searching to ride the latest wave will love it, but the two will find a middle ground in the climbing synth arpeggios of the single's outro. Com Truise's name comes off as cheap-- a fact that even Haley can't be oblivious of-- but there are still riches to be found. --Ric Leichtung, Altered Zones
Ghostly International is preparing the Fairflight digital single for May 3rd and the full length, Galactic Melt, for July 5th; cruise to Truise's blog for more synth jams
I've always found it easy to grip the mid-ranging electro jams and lately there's been a choice fare of them, (Dunian, Veux, Baths), and another producer stepping off widely shared memories of Geogaddi and ambient Aphex is Upstate NY's Com Truise. Even if you're not down on the now ubiqituous inverted celeb names, the now re-issued designery slopes of his Cyanide Sisters is steady paced and heavy hitting, held taut w/ clean lines and achieving the cinematic yet not overwrought. (Rose Quartz co-premiere)
Ghostly International's lining up a full length for May, check the EP up there too as well as older electrics at AM Discs
