Toe - For Long Tomorrow

Toe is a four-piece Japanese post-rock band that just released a new album. Their music has many mathrock influences, and hell… don’t you feel compelled to check this album out simply by virtue of japanese-named track titles? Yes you do.

Tycho - Coastal Break 12" Single

Meanwhile, San Francisco native and generally amazing fellow Scott Hansen (artist name Tycho) has recently released the web version of his new single, Coastal Break on the Ghostly International label. Hansen runs a very clean, well designed, and just generally legit blog called iso50. iso50 is an umbrella brand that encapsulates his music, artwork, and contributions from other editors of the blog that write about other music and design, usually specific to typeface and print work. You should check out some of his poster work, it is quite impressive.

Anyhow, his music can be characterized as IDM or Ambient if you don’t want to throw it under the way-too-general “Electronic” bus… I highly recommend. I pre-ordered the 12″ single about a month ago, hopefully I’ll be lucky enough to get one of the numbered + signed copies.
