Maserati are a band obsessed with process. Specifically, they're obsessed with the process of marrying the past to the future — retro futurists hellbent on forging Krautrock and classic rock into one motorik, monolithic vehicle. Rehumanizer is the most accomplished product of that process to date, a marriage of man and machine that plays like a supergroup comprised of Gary Numan, Cluster, and Pink Floyd.

Recorded and mixed by drummer Mike Albanese – and produced entirely by the band in their own studio – this is the first Maserati album completely devoid of outside collaboration or interference. Building songs up bit by bit — and breaking them back down to their barest elements — Maserati fully embraced technology as a songwriting tool. The band takes greater risks than ever, sonically experimenting on the fly and incorporating unprocessed vocals for the first time ever.

For the past decade Maserati has built a career out of relentless forward momentum – a tight, sleek, chugging beast that drove towards the sun and rarely veered off course. Rehumanizer maintains that same ambition and sense of abandon, but is distinctly as much man as it is machine – a true alliance of the past and the future.

Artist: MY DISCO
Title: 1991
Album: Severe
Release Date: October 30, 2015

Pre-Order LP / CD: shop.temporaryresidence.com/trr244

MY DISCO have always employed space as an instrument. Space between notes; space between instruments; even space between albums, as the Australian trio prepare to release Severe, their first full-length record in nearly five years. More than just a title, Severe pushes MY DISCO’s subtle, intensely focused, minimalist sound to its most terrifying extreme. It is bleak, occasionally uncomfortable, and unpredictably profound.

Recorded, mixed, and produced in Melbourne by acclaimed film composer and producer, Cornel Wilczek. Engineered entirely in a digital domain, the recording process for Severe was a huge change for MY DISCO, who had previously worked with renowned analog tape guru, Steve Albini. The change in process allowed the band the freedom to explore enhanced audio effects, including programmed sine wave drones and heavily effected rhythms and vocals.

Severe is an album of aggravated tonal darkness and long breaths of disturbing silence, punctuated by pounding stabs and heavy, hypnotic rhythms. It is a minimalist approach to maximum sound, and by far the band’s darkest, heaviest, and most consistent album of MY DISCO’s burgeoning career.

MY DISCO - 1991

Artist: Rob Crow's Gloomy Place
Title: Oh, The Sadmakers
Album: You're Doomed. Be Nice.
Release Date: March 4, 2016

Pre-Order CD/LP: shop.temporaryresidence.com/trr264
Pre-Order Bandcamp: robcrow.bandcamp.com/album/you-re-doomed-be-nice
Pre-Order iTunes: itunes.apple.com/us/album/youre-d…d1059507533?ls=1

You're Doomed. Be Nice. is Rob Crow's first album since his heavily-publicized withdrawal from music – specifically the toxic byproducts of the lifestyle of a touring professional musician attempting to survive in an industry of diminishing returns. Rather than perform, record, and mix every note himself – a trademark of his previous solo endeavors – Crow formed Gloomy Place, a band made up of close friends that includes another member of the beloved Heavy Vegetable. Recorded and mixed by Ben Moore (Hot Snakes), You're Doomed presents a fascinating dichotomy: dynamic, eclectic prog-pop backing alarmingly confessional, often acerbic lyrical themes. This juxtaposition makes for an album of confrontational yet accessible songs filled with wry wit and emotional depth.

Whereas Crow's previous solo endeavors acted primarily as low-key stop-gaps between Pinback albums, the stakes are markedly higher here – and it shows in both the depth of songwriting and impressively labyrinthine performances. Gone are the 60-second blink-and-you-missed-them acoustic sketches that became a staple of Crow's solo albums; You're Doomed is filled with the kind of thoughtful attention to detail and craft that was a hallmark of Pinback's legendary catalog.

You're Doomed. Be Nice. is the diamond carved out of a particularly rough chunk of Rob Crow's life – one that's either the first gem of an inspired second act, or the culmination of an undeniably influential career. In either case, the quality of its cut will last a lifetime.

sa-pa.bandcamp.com/album/in-a-landscape

Rain, spit, ice, neon, mercury, arcing electricity, plants, steam, soil, and dust; this is dream music from Sa Pa. Following up on his 2015 debut 風物詩 [Fuubutsushi], In A Landscape provides rich content for fantasy and the fertile imagination, establishing a rich terrain of visual, poetic, and abstract sound that draws on techno and dub ambient.

Somewhere between pastoral impressionism and cyber-noir, its surface evokes the tensions of a fluctuating, fizzing atmosphere, pictures emerging and dissolving in the mind’s eye. Thick layers of field recording - some salvaged from a recorder lost in Bassiani during the police raid last year and recovered in January - flood tracks fabricated from erratic, oddly distanced rhythm.

The sensation whilst listening is not unlike hearing the world from a place within the body; swimming in the bloodstream, cutting through the turbulent landscape secure in a metal tube.

Or being over-exposed to lushly textured environments with the anatomy far receded; an out-of-body experience where subtler senses are heightened and the landscape begins to take on surreal qualities.

In A Landscape

Sa Pa - Ripsketch

As Planetary Assault Systems, @Luke-Slater is an innovator of psychedelic mindfuck techno. Across a lengthy catalogue that stretches back into the 90s, the music’s bleepy, polyrhythmic loops are as recognizable as they are genre-defining. ‘Plantae’ is Slater’s first release as PAS on Ostgut Ton since ‘Arc Angel’ (2016) and covers the spectrum of PAS’s different strains while remaining grounded in Slater’s uncanny funk and knack for developing oblique melodies and rhythms over longer stretches. Deepness and hypnosis come as much through duration as sound design.

For Slater, ‘Plantae’ is made for Berghain, where he is a long-standing resident. In his own words: “I’m sure it’s no surprise that when it comes to putting together a release on Ostgut Ton, PAS takes on its more mind-altering, otherworldly quality by natural cause, quietly reflecting the dark sweaty nights and days at the club; at the point, the common neural coupling, of us all together. PAS has been part of Berghain and Berghain part of PAS for a long time. All of these tracks needed to pass the Berghain test in my sets first stop.”

"The Late Trane" by Upholstery recorded live for WXPN

Here it is:
a throw away song written in an open G,
I got it wrong,
 started again,

What to say?
the 7th year of Nonsensuality,
I'm a Sun-shower,
laughing in pain,
shining in rain

fall down out of the sky,
into the lie,
that's drinking me dry,

a river roars 'round the bend,
a middle with no,
beginning or end,

as far as i can see,
with eyes that don't agree,

let me be the shore that shapes you,
into the take of time, where'ing worry,
lead me to what you escape through,

your below is their high above,
the less i am the more there's of,

i'm bound in bounding boundaries,
and nothing-as-they-seem-to-be's,
the last the last the lasting past,
where a swollen shadow bloats,

Halo heal my breaking,
silent lips are laking,
speak to me the Mystery,
in every waking breeze,
lead me there where as you should,
is always as you please,
how i get down on my knees...
and pray,

the sun shines down on the flowers,
we thought that they were standing still,
how could we've been so wrong?
tying the not,

roots to shoots, they were all moving,
faster than the eyes can see,
in a direction that we've forgot,
but now it's:

greatful, the bloom of every me,
coming to be,
Nonsensuality,
breathe me into the tree,
stranded at see,
Nonsensuality,

Halo heal my breaking,
silent lips are laking,

I'm just a mollified murmuring,
quieting into the storm i love,
set the Sun:
 a division of ONE,

your below is  their high above,
the less i am the more there's of,

wayful wings fly on the right,
the third eye and the second sight,
the first the first the absent thirst,
that i lay down in the sky,

Halo heal my breaking,
silent lips are laking,

when have any of my lyrics,
improved a blank page?
when have I ever heard silence,
locked here inside my cage,
acting upon it's stage,

Halo heal my breaking...
