Speaking of Bex Burch, got this today:
oday, composer, percussionist, producer and instrument maker Bex Burch (Flock, Vula Viel, Boing!) shares the second single “Don't go back to sleep” from her forthcoming LP, There is only love and fear, along with a music video she made herself.A twinkling piece of arcadian minimalism, “Don’t go back to sleep” eavesdrops on an electro-acoustic conversation with the avian world. Pulsing and playful, Burch and Dan Bitney (Tortoise) merge the organic qualities of synthesis with the synthetic qualities of the organic to create an intuitive tone poem that takes the rhythms and melodies of birdsong as its natural cue. Recorded at the Center of Search & Research where Burch was based while in Chicago, its homely feel bathes the track in dappled sunlight. Deceptively simple in its construction, “Don’t go back to sleep” is an invitation to wake up and listen to what is already out there.The music video for “Don’t go back to sleep,” created by Bex Burch, demonstrates the unspeakable beauty of nature’s synchrony and how it reflects in Bex’s and Dan’s interplay.

Not sure if gossip is welcome here, but I heard that Andre 3000 is working on an album for International Anthem

I can see it, he's already guested on an IA record (I think it was Carlos Ninos?).

The Daniel Villarreal / Jeff Parker / Anna Butterss record sounds fantastic so far.

I’m off to see Bex Burch tonight and am looking forward to it a great deal. “Messy minimalism”, yes please.

Bex Burch was every bit as good as I’d hoped. The show was mostly solo with some interjections on violin. They encored with a version of “O Superman”, using whatever member of the xylophone family she was playing. I couldn’t believe my luck. That verse that starts “When love is gone, there’s always justice” always seemed like a punch in the guts to me- now, more than ever.

unperson recommended the new Thandi Ntuli with Carlos Niño record on another thread. Absolutely lovely Sunday morning music and I imagine just excellent at other times. Ordered a copy.

Anyone else enjoying the new Villarreal/VV Lightbody Valebol album? I’m absolutely loving it — so springy, reminds me of Antena
― Piggy Lepton (La Lechera), Wednesday, 10 April 2024 13:06 (three weeks ago) link
It’s very accessible and I can see people well outside the IA world enjoying it.
This one (Row Row Row) is my favorite so far https://open.spotify.com/track/3UZv2dCGfVS1cllt4oVPhO?si=b592c32c71fe4934

Woops this is not released via IA — a different label called Otherly Love Records It’s still good!

This is really fun, thanks LL! Her voice reminds me of someone. I want to say Liz Fraser?

Always I am mixing up this label with the very different but equally good Imaginational Anthem label.
