*Pre-Order* Defibrillators CDr

PRE-ORDER HERE.

Defibrillators came to the attention of TBR through a music forum at bangthebore.org. Co-founder of the site, Seth Cooke, is also the percussionist in this impressive duo and he gave us this bio of his band:

"Defibrillators combine live drums with a range of homemade electronics, circuit bent devices and a repurposed Nintendo Wii remote.

They formed in March 2008 at The Croft in Bristol when Seth Cooke and Anton Maiof started chatting over a cigarette outside the Merzbow, Flowers/Corsano Duo and Carlos Giffoni concert playing that night.  The plan was to form an improvising duo that would be more flexible and spontaneous than other bands the two had played in previously."

Defibrillators’ self-titled debut album will be out June 12th on CDr and Download via TBR.

They were also asked to submit an image of that locale, with accompanying text if desired; and here is the end result…"

Bemused Abused - Silver Seeds (TBR09)

   

Bemused Abused is a duo from Brighton, England, Karl M V Waugh and Paul Davies. Best described as "ambient," their album Silver Seeds exemplifies the hallmarks of the genre while at the same time being focused on achieving a unified thought beyond simple style exercises. The five compositions that make up this album were recorded in a single day in August 2011 with the two players using only guitar and keyboards to wrestle their creativity into an album that works from start to finish. Once this tape is over the listener wants to flip it and start again. Bemused Abused came to the attention of TBR via the online music community forum, Bang the Bore (bangthebore.org). The site is a place where individuals can "write about music, connect people, facilitate collaborations and share information." BA's cassette is a great example of people reaching out and working to create cool new music. Don't miss this tape! 


Below is a video for a track titled "Knowing Far Less."
