Billy Gomberg Beginners
Styles: drone, noise, electronics, dark
Others: Anne Guthrie, Delicate Sen, Other Vultures, Fraufraulein
As the follow-up to his excellent Slight At That Contact on Students of Decay, Beginners is a collage of field recordings, processed electronics, and drones that lulls the listener into a waking nightmare as unsettling and enigmatic as anything Billy Gomberg has released to date. Beginners sounds as though it were transmitted into our stereos from unknown sources; the more you tune in, the less clear it becomes.

SOPHIE OIL OF EVERY PEARL’S UN-INSIDES
Styles: pop
Others: Hannah Diamond, Prurient
Every morning and night, I take two 2mg tablets of estrogen and place them under my tongue, waiting for them to dissolve into a sickly-sweet teal effervescence that courses through my veins and reshapes my tissues, contorting and remolding my body and mind.

Johnny Jewel announces EP exclusive to Kickstarter campaign for documentary about Twin Peaks “log lady” Catherine Coulson
Happy Chromatics season, loyal readers! Of course, as you already know, every season is Chromatics season as long as Johnny Jewel has the work ethic of Sisyphus on Adderall…but today’s Chromatics-adjacent news is extra special, because it’s about an especially significant project tied to another topic perennially on TMT’s office moodboard: Twin Peaks.

serpentwithfeet tiptoes out on North American tour, adds his serpent-footprints to even more places
Numerous anthropomorphic tour dates were announced back when Josiah “serpentwithfeet” Wise’s debut album soil was explicitly foreshadowed, but now that soil’s been released and is unloading all sorts of magnificence on the general public, it’s only natural that the chronic resident of the Northeast megalopolis would try to supplement those eccentric love songs with some addit

Fire-Toolz announces new LP Skinless X-1 for Hausu Mountain, shares new video
*Sigh…* You know, sometimes writing for Tiny Mix Tapes is hard. It more or less requires that you try and pin some tacky tags like “post-internet” or “nonbinary breakbeat hypo-information vaporcore” to music that is just downright impossible to define. Yeah, yeah I’m whining… But how would you describe the music of Chicago’s resident transcendent transfemme Angel Marcloid? Huh? If it’s so easy, why don’t you do it!?

Everything and Nothing Floating on Sans Serif Island with Sam Prekop and The Sea and Cake
Floating on Sans Serif Island with Sam Prekop and The Sea and Cake
The hysterical pace of development in north Brooklyn led to chronic conditions for DIY art spaces like Glasslands and Death By Audio, where a fair amount of the zeitgeist that fueled said development was forged. But, absorbing the environs of Elsewhere on a damp May evening, the destruction of those haunts at least pangs with creativity.

Others: Martine Syms, Aria Dean, Diamond Stingily, Actress
Recently, after writing on Klein’s 2017 EP Tommy and weaving in an analysis of her music into the 2017 year-end essay “Traditional Music of a Wrecked Species,” I feel compelled to create distance from any analysis of her music as “disjointed, beguiling, flawed, chaotic, messy” and also “abstracted, cathartic, degraded.” In 2018, I’ve seen the contrarian and obfuscating qualities of her music take
