New Music
The new Portishead record kicks ass so far. I haven't heard a new record that I found really inspiring in a long time, but this one is it. It was time for them to change things up and they did, but man, it's pretty awesome.
In the spirit of new (and hopefully awesome) music...
Recording is just about finished on a pair of new Larvae works. The first is a set of slow, dubby tracks that work as a sequel to Monster Music. These are further inspired by Toho Monster Movies so expect more Godzilla videos and massive stomping bass. I used a lot of Godzilla source material this time, so these are really fun.
The second is a follow up to Dead Weight that continues along the path of mixing layers of guitar with the more typical Larvae production. Most of the melodies are coming from guitars and organs with this record which is weird because the melodies in Larvae songs have almost always been manipulated samples. What can I say, I'm trying something new?
I'm hoping that these tracks will all see the light of day through our friends at Ad Noiseam sometime sooner or later--well, at least sometime after I finish them up! We'll definitely have a batch of fun, heavy songs for playing live and a batch of melancholy (but still sufficiently heavy) songs for maybe just listening to.
