01.Old Ghosts, New Ghosts, All Ghosts.
We had the intention of releasing my sophomore album for iDEAL entitled
»Old Ghost, New Ghosts, ALL Ghosts« this coming Saturday. For a
variety of reasons we decided to push it back until after the summer,
mainly due to the fact that people just aren't very prone to record
shopping this time of year and Dot wanted 8 weeks to promote the little
fucker. However I will still perform together with Alvars Orkester, FM3
and a bunch of others at what was going to be the release party. My set
will be recorded for a bonus 3" for the All Ghosts box set.
02. Teeth »Destroying«
Some of you might recall the three tracks under the moniker Teeth that
I made available on my blog a few months ago. Teeth was concieved
during a very difficult period while I suffered yet another mental
breakdown. Teeth is the audio version of that breakdown. Very dark,
very minimal and perhaps a bit too personal, but I still wanted to get
it out of me and offer it to others as is.
I've compiled the three previously available tracks and one unreleased
composition into one 40 minute CDr. As I type this I am doing the final
bit of assembling of the handmade and quite elaborate covers and
burning the disc. The CDr will be available at the above mentioned show
on the 27th and any remaining copies will be available to subscribers
of the newsletter.
03. Dead Violets »Organ Grinder«
Jeff and I are putting the final touches on our debut album »Saint
Vitus Dance« which will be a powerful journey through post industrial
junkscapes, weird rhythms and massive dronecore. A small taster of what
to expect in the form of an MP3 EP entitled »Organ Grinder« is
available through Zeromoon.

04. Odds and Ends
Finally a couple of things I forgot to mention in the previous
newsletter. I contributed a track to the first installment of Famous
for 15mb, currated by the good folks over at Nosordo/Aa. Check it out
for loads of free goodies! My track, entitled "In Crowded Rooms, On
Empty Streets" will also be part of my third album for iDEAL »Lost in
Reflections« (aka the Post Rock album) out sometime this fall/winter.
I also did a rare remix - and I use that term very loosely - of
Ubeboet's magnificient "Black and Red" for the "Black and Red Remixes"
MP3 EP released by Zeromoon. The other artists - whom all contribute
very nice remixes - are Asher, Arturas Bumsteinas and Mathieu
Ruhlman.
