New releases: Electrical Servants of Everyman, The Sorrow and the Pity, The Real Feat. The Unreal

Coming this month from The Institute for the Study of Advanced Musical Research:

advancedmusicalresearch 21: Lo-fi ‘power electroacoustics’ turned as annoying as possible. Most of the action takes place above and below the threshold of hearing: for best results, add a tactile transducer to your sound system and watch the dog carefully. If the dog behaves in an aggressive or agitated manner, leave the building at once. If you do not have a dog, borrow one from a friend. Online now!

advancedmusicalresearch 22: Vancouver jazzcore / noise / old farts / Fake Jazz favourites, memorably described as “a spastic Minutemen-meets-Albert-Ayler politico-poetic blustering shitstorm of punk/jazz playfulness” (Alienated in Vancouver). Recorded live on April Fool’s Day, 2012. Full EP online April 15.

advancedmusicalresearch 23: Free improvisations on tenor sax and double bass, recorded Jan-Feb 2012. Featuring ludic playing, saxophone mutes, and much scratching and sputtering. Full album online April 22.
