Impressive sample from Insight by Hundred Acres, the third release on the new Worn Habit imprint from Michael Pouw, who also runs the honored Canadian tape label House of Sun; plays in Basked Unit; and records as Knit Prism and Elder. No idea who Hundred Acres might be – though it’s probably not this band – but I’m eager to hear more. You can connect with Worn Habit on Facebook and Twitter, too.
Noise, exciting and new! Mike Shiflet, whose 2010 LP Llanos is one of the more gorgeous things I caught up with last year, has compiled a brilliantly muzzy, crunchy mix of tracks from the legendary Massachusetts noise label RRR — and you know how much I detest flagrant use of the term legendary, so… — for Type Records’ Typecast series. Stream it here, and look over here to find out exactly what you’re listening to.
