Imminent Frequencies, the Brooklyn-based imprint, currently has all of their tapes on sale for 25% off, so now is a perfect time to grab their most recent batch of superb tapes that they snuck out at the tail end of last year. Among the lot is Tonal Fragments, the latest from Imminent Frequencies head honcho Ryan…
Here’s how things went down on the Thursday show over the past three weeks. David was on his own for episodes #401 & #402, and on this week’s show we were joined in the studio by Chad, a longtime KMSU supporter and honorary member of the Jandek Study Group. Included below are some audio and…
On this episode of the FFFoxy Podcast, we were thrilled to be able to share a bunch of wild sounds from artists and labels both new and old to us. We’ve been especially loving the latest full-lengths from Anne Guthrie (whom we mistakenly refer to as Mary for some odd reason during the show, sorry!!)…
Good Area’s debut LP on Kye Records, French Antarctica, was one of the few albums from last year that had us completely baffled; yet it somehow left us utterly intrigued and wanting to hear more. This Philadelphia-based duo used an open mic, room sound approach to capture their homespun jam sessions that found them exchanging…
Aside from the usual weather-related grumblings, February has been a rather fun-filled month for us here at Free Form Freakout: we celebrated our 9th year of doing the weekly Thursday show, we put together what we hoped would be an all-inclusive Valentine’s Day-themed show, and we found in Blank Realm’s Grassed Inn an album we…
On this episode of the FFFoxy Podcast, we aired our interview that we conducted with music writer David Keenan from this past Fall when he was in Minneapolis covering the Jandek performance for The Wire magazine. This was a concert that our station KMSU had a hand in organizing, and David’s excellent world exclusive face-to-face…
There was loads of excellent new cassette material to play on this episode of the FFFoxy Podcast, among this a couple of cool ones from the Night People label (now based in the Twin Cities), some wonky found sound/loop-based weirdness from Cruudeuces and Woven Hare (not to mention an unclassifiable piece by Good Area offshoot,…
On this week’s show, we played a few tracks centered around some current and upcoming events: the passing of free jazz legend Arthur Doyle, the recent reissue of The Viktor Dimisch Band’s output, and an upcoming live appearance by Loop in the Twin Cities in April. Carl felt compelled to launch into his first Guilty…
Another week, another show, and, yes, we were still grumbling about the weather in our customary Minnesota fashion. Carl tried to trick himself and others into a warm weather state-of-mind by playing songs about summer and all things hot. David broke out some rockers and some Maher Shalal Hash Baz, who always has a way…
Field Hymns, started in late-2009 by Dylan McConnell, is a Portland-based cassette label that has put together an impressive catalog of mostly experimental and electronic-leaning sounds. McConnell is a talented artist in his own right. His music under the names Adderall Canyonly and Oxykitten and his graphic design work under the banner Tiny Little Hammers…
