tom's new one numinal entry is lovely

Man Tom has been on a crazy roll this year. I cannot wait to hear that new solo LP.

This Tom Carter + Helena Espvall collaboration is so, so good.

Tom Carter totally opening up a universe of sound both solo + in a trio with Chris Corsano (!!!) and Carter Thornton here:

I mean Tom's new record on Three Lobed is heavy as hell and just gorgeous, but live he is just knocking it out of the park these days.

Man, Tom's solo set is so good. Damn:

picked up two vinyl reissues of 2007 cd-rs of 90s material at the (mind boggling) show last night--glowing raw and strangle the wretched heavens, on drawing room records. very attractive, sound great so far.
― adam, Monday, 7 March 2016 13:19 (eight years ago) link
those are both great, I have the CDr versions. Emerald Message is v good as well imo.
― the 'major tom guy' (sleeve), Monday, 7 March 2016 15:29 (eight years ago) link
is there a tour or was this a one-off show?
― ryan, Monday, 7 March 2016 15:31 (eight years ago) link
just a one off for now looks like. tom playing a couple dates soon, another in nyc and one in MA
― adam, Monday, 7 March 2016 15:54 (eight years ago) link
Hope someone recorded that Charalambides show, would love to hear it.
― grandavis, Monday, 7 March 2016 21:33 (eight years ago) link
looks like they're playing at the Empty Bottle in Chicago and with The Renderers in LA later this summer! too far away but jeez.
― sleeve, Friday, 30 June 2017 02:00 (six years ago) link
Seen this on Twitter a couple of times recently - new Bandcamp page https://charalambides.bandcamp.com/releases
― The shard-borne beetle with his drowsy hums (Chinaski), Wednesday, 2 August 2017 19:49 (six years ago) link
huh all I see there at the moment is one album? would love to hear the earlier batch of CDRs, I don't know some of them
― sleeve, Wednesday, 2 August 2017 19:58 (six years ago) link
Aye. Assume they'll gradually populate it? Hope so.
― The shard-borne beetle with his drowsy hums (Chinaski), Wednesday, 2 August 2017 20:00 (six years ago) link
The Charalambides page only went online two days ago or so; Tom has been gradually populating his own Bandcamp page for a while now, so yes, there'll be more.
― Dancing on the Pylons, Wednesday, 2 August 2017 20:30 (six years ago) link
excellent news
― sleeve, Wednesday, 2 August 2017 20:32 (six years ago) link
four more albums up now, just in time for the Bandcamp sale!
― sleeve, Friday, 4 August 2017 19:11 (six years ago) link
oh hey cool, vinyl versions of some CDRs - I really liked these two in particular

xpost Marvelous album, already gave it an ear.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 20 August 2018 15:53 (five years ago) link
tom carter subscription is a good time (though not the sheer onslaught of music that is the kevin drumm subscription)
― adam, Monday, 20 August 2018 16:55 (five years ago) link
Cor! And they're playing Cafe Oto in November...
― The shard-borne beetle with his drowsy hums (Chinaski), Monday, 20 August 2018 18:36 (five years ago) link
Oh man I hope I get to catch a date on this tour. Playing with Loren Connors in NYC, but unfortunately do not think I am gonna get to that one.
― grandavis, Monday, 20 August 2018 20:26 (five years ago) link
aw man, no West coast dates at all.
― sleeve, Monday, 20 August 2018 20:29 (five years ago) link
Tom Carter subscription essential for anyone that bookmarks this thread. The recent track with Susan Alcorn is great.
― Elvis Telecom, Wednesday, 22 August 2018 06:05 (five years ago) link
yes! i would listen to a quadruple lp of that vibe
― adam, Wednesday, 22 August 2018 14:35 (five years ago) link
Burner of a solo show from Tom last night at Union Pool in Brooklyn. There's an instagram video at https://www.instagram.com/p/BnEODCnFNSQ/
― Elvis Telecom, Thursday, 30 August 2018 04:11 (five years ago) link
Tom is operating on a very high level solo right now. I can't even really tell how he does it, just masterful tone wrangling.
― grandavis, Thursday, 30 August 2018 15:57 (five years ago) link
yeah it's the tone, I agree but can't explain it any better than you.
I really need that double LP from a few years back
― sleeve, Thursday, 30 August 2018 15:59 (five years ago) link
It is a wonderful record. I just jammed it a couple of weeks ago.
― grandavis, Thursday, 30 August 2018 16:14 (five years ago) link
Just discovered them live at their gig last night, truly remarkable music. got their last record, Exile, Tom seems like a real nice dude.
They used to be three?
― Van Horn Street, Friday, 12 October 2018 20:46 (five years ago) link
They've just been a duo for a while now, since A Vintage Burden or even earlier. Exile is amazing, enjoy.
probably my favorite band of the 2000s
― sleeve, Friday, 12 October 2018 20:49 (five years ago) link
Their new album is in the mail to me right now, can't wait. I just got the Bandcamp download today, so I get to listen tonight.
― sleeve, Friday, 12 October 2018 20:50 (five years ago) link
missed the nyc show last weekend but am ready for the new record. i sprung for the bonus cassette too
― adam, Friday, 12 October 2018 23:49 (five years ago) link
looks like the cassette is not included in the download, fwiw. listening for the first time now, about to get on the living room couch and give it my full attention.
― sleeve, Saturday, 13 October 2018 00:02 (five years ago) link
This is wonderfully mellow so far.
― Groove(box) Denied (Raymond Cummings), Saturday, 13 October 2018 00:18 (five years ago) link
agreed except i just listened to side B at 78rpm accidentally and i thought dang this is wild
