Fire Escape

Sunburned Hand of the Man's "Fire Escape"is dooooooope.

From Pitchfork "Kieran Hebden-- aka Four Tet-- served as a curator and facilitator, inviting his former tourmates to record for four hours in London's Exchange room. In the studio, he directed, suggesting configurations, themes, and moods and letting Sunburned (eight strong, with two Vibracathedral Orchestra members and Hush Arbors' Keith Wood) route his requests through its haze-and-clamor sensibility. Hebden took the sessions, chopped them into bits, and made "his vision of a Sunburned record."

Pretty easy to find on CaptainCrawl tip.

I like this album because I'll like most instrumental stuff with effects, always down to check that out, but not as cool as Isotope 217. I'm listening to the track "Fire Escape" right now and it just has the one bass-line through, effects, just jammy, cool, but no cooler than, say, Monastics.

Oh, you mean Monastics playing tomorrow night 8:00 PM I-Beam in Gowanus, Brooklyn?
