Spearheading the release docket of Illegal Art’s reboot is Myth Math, the new musical project of label founder Matthew S, who previously released music as Oh Astro and ran label operations anonymously as Philo T. Farnsworth. The ‘Tongues’ EP picks up where Illegal Art left off, blending samples with more live instrumentation and original composition than ever before. by @mythmath_

thanks to @pt.fwd for the shoutout in their newsletter

pt.fwd has brought so many notable leftfield musicians to our small city ... some that I fondly remember include Cole Pulice, Danz CM, Josh Henderson’s “One More Night”, John Bischoff, and the Normal Community High School Experimental Ensemble (multiple times)

from the 9/2 newsletter:
“Legendary record label Illegal Art (Girl Talk, People Like Us, Yea Big + Kid Static) has been resurrected! The label’s elusive founder has emerged with a new EP, Tongues. Understated bedroom funkiness, enigmatic lyrics, and frantic synth breaks that stretch beyond the label’s prior commitment to sample-based music - yet, like the best sampling, still manages to strike a balance between the unfamiliar and the uncanny.” by @mythmath_

feature interview in The Tonearm by @carldexterwrites

“Doing sample-based music has meaning in and of itself ... but I wanted to do something that had more of a literal meaning, and so I drfited more and more towards songs.”

On the Beginnings podcast, writer and performer Andy Beckerman asks well-known and on-their-way-up comedians, musicians, writers, artists and thinkers about their earliest creative acts, their formative childhood experiences, and how they’ve developed both creatively and emotionally over the years. Beginnings is part therapy, part philosophy and almost all fascinating.

thanks to @undertheradarmag for premiering "Infinity" and @caleb_campbell_97 for the beautiful description.

"'Infinity' begins as a spacious dream pop odyssey, but takes several restless turns as it winds on. It initially feels like a transmission beamed out to the infinite expanse of space, taking on an otherworldly color with the effects-laden vocals and watery synth melodies. After ascending skyward atop grand synth swells, the track suddenly diverts into sparse, robotic electronica before filling out with careening live drums and entrancing oscillating synth tones. A raging tide of rhythms rushes the track towards an ecstatic climax, only for it to sprawl out once more into its initial spacey ambience as it winds downwards."

"Lyrically, the track sorts through love, loss, and infinite unknowns, but roots its abstract turns in the simple enduring strength of familial connection ..."
