For all you local Chicago folk, three Notice titles--Dense Reduction's Shadows of Shipwrecks In Napkins On Shore (NTR007), Red Electric Rainbow Sky Underneath (NTR012), and Godseye's No More Cake Here (NTR014)--are now available at the Milwaukee Ave. location of Reckless Records. Now you can make Notice Recordings part of your next Chicago scavenger hunt.

In other late-notice Notice news, Jon Mueller (NTR013 - Halves) will be playing tonight--Friday, April 30--at Enemy, 1550 N. Milwaukee, third floor. He is supporting his upcoming second full-length on Type. He will share the bill with Corridors, the excellent multi-channel audio immersion project of New Yorker Byron Westbrook.

Happy weekend, and thanks to all the positive response to our A.V. Club interview.

#1 : ( Notice #17 ) Nathan McLaughlin : " Echolocation #5 " (C60)

This is Nathan McLaughlin’s latest installment of his Echolocation series. Following releases on Digitalis and Gift Tapes, #5 also continues the organic and thoughtful work of his duo Loud & Sad. Focused on tape loops, layers of delay, and some chordal forms, each piece is meticulously and methodically built, with each sonic element given its due. This sense of pacing and care given to every moment is a crucial element of McLaughlin’s work, and it’s deeply attuned here. The pieces reflect the environment in which they were composed, tight-knit and rural; they mass like storm clouds, and then are barely there, leaving just the fluttering of a distant echo. Stretches of silence, and windblown expanses. Rich chords swell into deeply contemplative passages that are gradually stripped away. A gorgeous, hushed set of tape music.

#2 : ( Notice #15 ) Organ of Species : " Random Selection " (C30)

Organ of Species is the newest musical incarnation of Scott Cloud (Thoughts On Air; Cloud Valley Recordings). For OOS’ debut release, Scott focuses on documenting, or even mirroring, natural processes through his organic and unhurried pieces. The bases for these tracks are woolly, thick organ drones and heavy outdoor ambience that are constantly, subtly regenerating. There is the path, and there are constant divergences from the path. Overgrown textures roll along with occasional mutations, interruptions, and overtakings. Just as suddenly, things cut and shift entirely, forming a series of non-narrative snapshots into a process that is constantly occurring, resolutely alive. With minimal human interference, the music breathes on its own. A few foreboding elements toward the end of each side point to a disturbance, but we can’t read too much into it—this is just the nature of things.
