BASIC: Chris Forsyth, Douglas McCombs, Mikel Patrick Avery 

BASIC, a mind-meld between Chris Forsyth, his frequent running partner (and formidable 6-string thinker) Nick Millevoi, and Mikel Patrick Avery presents This Is BASIC, a complex and entrancing instrumental LP recasting forgotten scraps of guitar history into a moving mosaic of strings, skins and electronics.

THE EARLY

Formed in north Jersey in 2004, The Early is Alex Lewis (guitars, synthesizers) and Jake Nussbaum (drums, electronics). Their music metabolizes the textural grandeur of post-rock, the communicational intimacy of jazz improvisation, and the patient grooves of minimalism. The Early’s latest release is Impatient (Ruination Record Co). Record Crates United describes Impatient as an album that contains “sprawling tundras of white noise, rumbling guitar fuzz and hypnotic beats.” 

TOTALLY AUTOMATIC

TOTALLY AUTOMATIC was formed by Anne Ishii, Eugene Lew and Matthew Smith Lee in the summer of 2021. They play unarranged music with each other, on drums, saxophone and electronics, and can be found around Philadelphia.
