VICE Mag/ NOISEY

“Bell-bathed, slow-swung cut that seems to pull inspiration from the lineage of contemplative beats crafted by the likes of Shlohmo and Mount Kimbie.” 
XLR8R

“Warm, dreamy melodies only to touch down to earth for it’s noisey center before lifting back off into the clouds. worth hearing, and Luebs worth paying attention to!”
FACT

“Magical Mistakes doesn’t need heavy drops or sultry hooks, his tenderly pastoral style of production is infatuating enough as it is.”
The Line Of Best Fit


Magical Mistakes releases upcoming LP “Peaking in the Pitch Black” via The Playground Records on the 1st July. Magical Mistakes has already garnered support from the likes of Vice/ Noisey, FACT Mag, CLASH, XLR8R, Earmilk, The Line of Best Fit, BBC and many more. Currently based in Osaka, Japan, Erik runs the small events and boutique label Perfect Touch, working with labels and artists (Leaving Records, Shigeto, Yosi Horikawa, Obey City etc.) on tours and cross cultural creative projects. “Peaking in the Pitch Black” is the first single to be lifted from the LP which will be released on the 20th May. 

Following the path of other artists, like Bon Iver, Magical Mistakes, (a.k.a Erik Luebs) moved to Shiba-san, one of Japan’s most rural villages, to create his sound. Here he was able to draw inspiration from his environment and also from the lineage of contemplative beats crafted by the vibrant community of Osaka artists, such as Shlohmo and Mount Kimbie. It’s clear when listening to Magical Mistakes that his style strives to combine Eastern and Western influences. His tracks are textural, bell-bathed, slow slung electronic compositions blended with organic instrumentation, Japanese motifs, and ambient sounds, that create an immersive underwater effect.

Peter Broderick returns with Allred & Broderick – a duo project between him and his musical partner David Allred – and their debut album ‘Find The Ways’ out on April 7th 2017.

Armed with nothing but their voices, a violin and an upright bass, Allred & Broderick began their journey to create an album as minimal as possible. Recorded in Peter’s studio The Sparkle on the Oregon coast, the pair used this solitude to focus on creating something as raw and honest as possible, particularly in what some might deem unattainable during a time where complexity is sought most.

In a world full of noise and the anxieties of every day life, Find The Ways brings us together and reminds us to appreciate and confront the simple and fundamental facts of life, and that we as individuals will eventually find our way.

Words from Peter and David, January 2017:

“I sensed a truly unique character in David’s own music that is wonderfully heartfelt and sincere. With this recording David and I set out to make something raw which is an honest document of what we are capable of doing together at once, with just two acoustic instruments and our voices. The entire album was recorded live, with no overdubs and no edits. Just two guys playing together in a room. I have always dreamed of doing a project in which I only use my violin and my voice, and to do this alongside David’s upright bass and voice feels like the perfect fit. It is a truly 50/50 collaboration.“ — Peter Broderick

“It is such a pleasure to work with Peter. I feel that we're on the same page in more ways than one, both musically and non-musically. The making of this album was an incredibly fun challenge; writing music to be performed and recorded live with only violin, upright bass, and voices. It still amazes me that we managed to make a whole record with only those three elements. Over the years, I have felt a very strong connection to Peter's music and friendship, and I feel that this collaboration comes from a really good place. I hope this music gives the listeners a feeling of comfort, confusion and understanding.” — David Allred

Artist and long time collaborator of Erased Tapes Peter Liversidge was commissioned to paint the cover art as per his ‘Sign Painting’ project. Liversidge also painted the fragmented lyric signs featured in the official music video for ‘The Ways’, directed by label founder Robert Raths. Watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6heqiuHmvmM

Arp - Parallelism

Shape-shifting left coast producer https://soundcloud.com/sagecaswell likens his latest full-length to a surrealist architectural space: “I walk up to a building and Evil Twin is playing. A copy of me is at the door and I let myself in. Inside the house is inside my head; each room is a different song and emotion.” A distinct dream sequence logic threads together these nine nuanced tracks, which swerve from vaporous melancholy to ecstatic motion to nocturnal wanderlust, alternately lucid and opaque.

Last year’s relocation from his beloved home base of Los Angeles to Madison, Wisconsin certainly played a role, as pulling up roots inevitably does: “I love L.A. more than I can properly articulate, but I saw an opportunity to leave so I took it.” The experience prompted an exploratory set of recordings inspired by notions of separation, vulnerability, and “how it feels to identify the things in your life that don't feel like you.” Evil Twin captures Caswell at his most fluid and dualistic, mapping a multi-hued maze of twisted rhythms and refracted textures, fluctuating between beatific expanse and amniotic bangers.

Previous releases for Spring Theory and Far Away showcased Caswell’s capacity for innerspace club voyaging but here his vision skews even more vividly elusive, immersive and immaterial, lost and found. The record’s contradictions were deliberate and, most importantly, therapeutic: “Evil Twin was intended to be as much a visual idea as a soundtrack to feeling out of control. I didn't really want to talk about it, so I made this album.”
