Utility Fog

So, starting with a criminally neglected Sydney album from last year (re-release it TJ!), followed by some excellent post-rock from Melbourne, then an ex-pat New Zealander… Interview with Polish Ninjas Skalpel this week, plus new stuff from Jason Forrest (plunderphonic breakcore lunatic who used to call himself Donna Summer) on Mouse on Mars‘ Sonig label, edIT on Planet µ, new remixes of Boom Bip… The list goes on, and the next few weeks will only be featuring MORE new music and interviews…
Despite this plethora of material, I played quite a few long tracks this week, so the playlist looks quite short – bizarre ;)

Skalpel – Together [Ninja Tune]
…followed by the first part of the interview with Igor from Skalpel (music in background: “Low”, from the 1958 EP)…
Skalpel – Theme From “Behind The Curtain” [Ninja Tune]
… and the second part of the interview (music in background: “Low” again, and “Asphodel” from the album)…
