Originally produced to accompany their G.D.D.B. LP, this live tape was compiled by Golden Teacher from two live performances in February, 2013. Side A is Golden Teacher in classic dance floor motion; Side B documents a baffling reinterpretation of Ludwig van Beethoven via abstract electronics.

Spectral Park and Kot Kot’s first long-distance collaboration radiates with their mutual love of lo-fi, psychedelic pop. Spectral Park’s Luke Donovan conjures hypnotic melodies wrapped in timbral ether. Kot Kot’s Lena Filatova adds lilting loops and a vocal threnody at once intimate and otherworldly. Each track twinkles and crunches in mesmerizing balance. Inspired by Lena’s favorite Soviet children’s stories, the album hovers between fairytale and hallucination like a woozy daydream.

Thalassic rocks border bodies of water, and Elephants Mourn’s avant-mood music carefully conjures the tidal ambiance of reefs, shoals, and tide pools. Percussive textures flow and recede while horns undulate in long swells. Delicate guitar melodies live buried under rippling surface texture. Elephants Mourn’s Henning Ebermann deploys an unusual union of electronics and fibrous acoustics to create dense marine atmospheres. The effect is, much like the ocean itself, serene and foreboding.
