Sun Araw says: "Heartfelt and marbled, this album is documentation of the slow exit (the triumphal entry): moving the camera back 8 stages along the circumference of the circle to the point where the obve

More hazy/sweaty psychedelic swamp drone jams from Cameron Stallones, aka Sun Araw: Not Not Fun has made the title track from his hypnotic new LP, Heavy Deeds, available for free download.

Amanda from Pocahaunted, Cameron from Sun Araw, Britt from Robedoor, and various other Not Not Fun weirdo all-stars make up lo-fi garage-soul "supergroup" Vibes. I mentioned the group's debut cassette You God It a couple months back, and that's long gone now, but we're currently wearing out a test-pressing of their funky-as-hell upcoming Psychic EP, which is due out soon on NNF...

"The Olsen twins of drone" are joined by Cameron Stallones (Sun Araw) and Bobb Bruno on their latest collection of utterly entrancing haunted dirges, Passage. The concept for this one was apparently "dark raga," which is one thing these girls do exceptionally well: mp3: Passage is out now on Troubleman Unlimited, and is limited to 500 copies...
