Out TODAY on Force Of Nature Productions:

Over four years in the making and clocking in at just over an hour -- Vessels, the first proper full-length Freeze Etch album, is a dynamic excursion into a world of thick organic rhythms, striking melodic textures, and surging ambient momentum. By turns sparkling and pristine and by others ugly and smoldering, Vessels explores the brooding tensions between dynamically opposed auras, employing textures which are at once terrestrial and alien, as well as melodic structures which merge skilled composition with the ambiguous flood of drone.

Listen to it @ www.FREEZEETCH.com

HOW TO OBTAIN A COPY:

At the present moment Force Of Nature are the only guys carrying it -- I will have my copies this week, and soon there will be other distros carrying it.  If you need it right away, contact Peter @ Force Of Nature by sending him an email -- he is selling it for $14 (Paypal accepted!).

I will post again when I have my copies, and again whenever it becomes available via other distributors.

Happy birthday to me!!  =)

Happy birthday to me!! (Literally, even!):



Yes, it's finally coming out. More info soon on where you can expect to be able to obtain it (if not from me directly).

(In the meantime, might I encourage a toddle over to the Freeze Etch site for some mp3-sampling action.)

SPREAD THE WORD!!!

So I'm returning to radio tonight. Unfortunately most of you will be unable to listen, as it is from 3-6am (technically tomorrow morning), but regardless you are all welcome to tune in. This time it's with Bloomington's local community radio station, WFHB. This will be a weekly gig. I'm still brainstorming the name of my show as I type this (I know cutting it a little close, eh?)...

Oh yeah, and while I'm at it, I might as well give some sort of half-ass announcement regarding this:



FINALLY!!!!!!!!! The first full-length Freeze Etch album, Vessels, has now entered the manufacturing phase. Please check out the Freeze Etch site for sound clips (there are clips of every song from the album posted)... Will post more about this soon!

"The wait is over: 'Emerging Organisms' 2CD compilation on Tympanik Audio is OUT NOW. Last day to get free shipping worldwide on Tympanik Audio orders."



Emerging Organisms features TWO exclusive/previously unreleased Freeze Etch tracks, plus a pile of other amazing ambient/industrial/dark electronic artists (see the flyer above). All contributions are exclusive.

Listen to a few tracks from the comp at the Tympanik Myspace page, as well as a few tracks from Unterm Rad's new album, The Rake's Progress, also released on this day. Note that I do not presently have any copies of the comp in my possession to sell, and I may not get very many copies at all, so ordering FROM THE LABEL is your best option at this point.
