Experimental soundscape / electronic netlabel Frozen Elephant has their 13th release out, this time by Stretchandrelax a project of Elise Ladoué and Félicia Atkinson. Not unlike AGF’s experiments with vocal and soundscapes, Stretchandrelax explores micro spaces via “field recordings, beats, spoken words and instrumentation”.

Found some time to process the remaining bookmarks. Here are the rest of the 2009 posts/threads that are worth mentioning. Lots of gems to hunt for!! Stones Throw, Stef Free Jazz, Other Music, Headphone Commute, AMN, Adgy, Bleep etc.

Ghost Box is one of the most cherished labels here at undomondo thanks to their nostalgic soundscapes and the hauntology inspired conceptualism. Their new release by Belbury Poly is out and we’ve been listening to it since a few days.

We’ve always been late late in dealing with the passing year; but this time we’re way into the new one. God only knows what next year will bring but knowing that lots of readers are still hunting good albums from 2008 here’s one final post about 2008 with a cream of the crop selection and we go straight to 2009! Promise!

Here’s our metalist of the most interesting best of lists from around the net, featuring (Thank God) more than the run-of-the-mill bands that you can find everywhere. Selected lists from Tiny Mix Tapes, Destination Out, Boomkat, Headphone Commute, The Decibel Tolls, The Wire, Rateyourmusic etc.

Bunch of mixes found around the net!
* The King of Electro, DMX Krew of Rephlex fame recently started a new radioshow/podcast
* Freestyle Mix from Esteban Morientes
* DJ Zhao mixes dubstep / world music
* Wire on the Air podcasts.

For some reason even though undomondo readership has been fairly stagnant (about 10K people a month if you wonder) somehow the amount of PR material we get has increased exponentially. These are the songs that has trickled down through over 200 emails we got last month.

MUMOK curators have created an official free download compilation to accompany the exhibition. I’ve sacrificed myself to stroll through the compilation which as you can anticipate has some abysmal music alongside some interesting ones. Here are my 3 picks, you can check the rest for yourself if you have the guts!
