Compelling Regrets

4.72mb , 128kbps [07/24/10]

Abstract Ambient
From the first cracked notes of "Caught in a Bird Trap," it's clear the second EP from Chris Jones' Surplus of 1 has your worst interests at heart. At once more damaged and more evolved than the inaugural EP, " Regrets" is the sound of one man's journey through the lonliest, most fascinating corners of the digital wastelands.

A Whistler's German Passport

03:58, 5.73mb , 128kbps [05/06/10]

Abstract Ambient
For most of its decade-long existence, Friendly Psychics Music has hidden a secret in Chris Jones, the label's co-founder, bass player and occasional lyricist and artist. That changes with the inaugural release from A Surplus of 1, Jones' solo project. A longtime rock bassist, Jones switches gears by experimenting with the technology first introduced on Unified Alarm System's album "This is Only a Test." Employing a mix of sequencers, loops, circuit-bent electronics and more, Jones invokes

The Zoo Outside the Zoo

Indie
It's been a long time coming, but Friendly Psychics Music principal and in-house producer Dan Miller has finally released his first project under the name Derecho. If you can guess what the name means, you get a gold star and ride on the missile-equipped weather balloon. "Dropped at 10,000 Feet" bears some resemblance to other FPM releases -- think burning slabs of guitar and bass, crisp percussion, dark Midwestern imagery -- but moves in a different direction with Miller's layered product

Language as a Second English

Indie
Yep, they got the band back together. The Circuit Riders, a weirdo indie-folk group partially responsible for the formation of Friendly Psychics Music, have gotten back together for the first time in seven years. "An Arm and a Legacy" contains all the tried and true acoustic guitars and fantastical, tongue-twisting lyrics and vocals, but adds bass, piano, and inifinitely higher production values than the band's boombox-recorded past. Songs like "Smashed Laps," "Language as a Second English"
