Tomorrowland - “Anemone” (Red Antenna)
from Phlow-Magazine April 02, 2008
Electric Krautrock | I m into Tomorrowland since I first started listening to free music. Their 2001 EP Variable is online at archive.org and still a good listen. Just recently, I found the follow-up album Anemone being released by their label Red Antenna for free, too. Take some time and learn to love their brusk melodies and grooves. Tomorrowland is basically Stephen Baker and Nick Brackney, joined by Eric Morrison (of Füxa-fame!) on drums for the recording of Anemone . Hailing from Michigan, USA, Tomorrowland had an album out at Kranky before they teamed up with NYC s Red Antenna. Both Baker and Brackney play their guitars through various effect pedals so one might assume there aint guitars at all. With Morrison s loop-a-like drum patterns and a few drum machine-dubs, the songs are really composed for minimal effort. But although the sound is very pure, maybe even paltry here and there, something happens between bubbling guitars, delay and drum tracks. Krautrock is the magic word, and if you ever heard the first two Neu! records or Tortoise s Millions Living -album, you probably can imagine what I mean. Tomorrowland-tunes like Mineral and Anemone are growers for groove and melody, in a straight Rother/ Roedelius/ Moebius-kinda way. These songs have sort of a retro-feel while tracks Stormy and Unfadeable come up with increased density and volume, clearly locating Tomorrowland into US Postrock with references to SST, Thrill Jockey and, well, Kranky.

Chris Herbert on Resonance FM
from KrankyKast October 02, 2006
An exclusive 57 collage piece by new signing, Chris Herbert was broadcast on Resonance FM recently. The brief was to construct something from field recordings and what came about was a patchwork made from a series of 'sound walks' around the canals close to where Chris works. "This proved to be an almost overwhelming resource - as a city that flourished during the industrial revolution, Birmingham is criss-crossed by waterways and by becoming a lunchtime flaneur I attempted to capture a snapshot of the tragic beauty of these rusting arteries. Just yards from my office I found weird, alien lacunas of nature set against light industrial units, the robust good humour of panel beaters against a backdrop of local radio, the gentle throb of narrow boats, leaking locks and septic lakes."
