The lovely people at the Foxy D. blog gave Wood-Land’s ‘Stone Circle’ album 10/10.

“I want to congratulate you because you have won my award for best psych album of the year! Maybe even best psych album ever?! “Stone Circle” deserves much more than a measly ten stars!”

Thank You Dave!

Dry by Aidan Baker got a nice review in the latest issue of WIRE.

After much deliberation and work, Install is proud to unveil its first vinyl release: Milieu’s Phosphene Weather LP. Notable for also being the first time Milieu’s work has appeared on the vinyl format, Phosphene is a special affair, limited to 150 copies on randomly colored vinyl inside custom silk screened sleeves with hand-numbered inserts, sporting a modern design by David Tagg. Musically, Phosphene Weather inhabits a similar universe as previous Milieu ambient output, such as A Warm Wooden Hollow, Of The Apple or Brittle Paper Cathedrals. The record’s three songs walk slowly through an Autumnal landscape that is as colorful as it is eroded, and over the course of 40 minutes the listener is treated to liquid sunset immersion, surrounded on all sides by soft wind sweeping red leaves over orange fields and cloudlike formations of chords that arrive right on time with the warm hum of a pedal bass. Swells of log cabin isolation, woodwind and guitar drones and pure sleepy thought filter through the horizon line. Phosphene Weather is total night music, and quite possibly the pinnacle of Milieu’s ambient output to date.

PRE-ORDER!!! Will begin shipping the week of November 23rd!!!

After an Installation series debut, a remix album and over a year’s worth of recording, Wood-Land has returned from the deep woods of Pennsylvania with Stone Circle. Those familiar with Wood-Land’s work know to expect some deep earthy lo-fi stuff, and on this point, Stone Circle delivers. Sounding like some worn cassette dug up from under an oak tree, the 20 songs on Stone Circle paint a vivid picture of slowly eroded gospel hymns reduced to warped loops and textural embellishments. Folk music recorded on tree bark, confederate ghosts inhabiting a transistor radio, dream-state chants echoing down a dark wooden hall covered in leaves. Wood-Land has never sounded more surreal and overgrown. Perfect decaying Autumn music, limited to 100 copies and gracefully mastered by Greg Davis with artwork by PAN.

The latest addition my split series at INSTALL features none other then Obfusc. Know for his for his releases at Static Caravan and Boltfish he has definitely made his mark with his own  signature brand of minimal electronica. With this split Obfusc takes a turn to ambient music with very successful results.  -David Tagg

There are only 40 copies of this for sale so if you would like one do not wait or risk being disappointed. ONE PER CUSTOMER!!!

The first ever David Tagg cassette is out now on CO_RD!

Announcement From CO_RD:

“I’ve recently been given the happy privilege of introducing David Tagg’s music to the cassette format for the first time ever! Out now at the super-DIY cassette-only imprint CO_RD Tapes… Containing what I’d consider to be some of David’s finest work to date, Established Trees is thick, organic guitar overload. The A side is a towering piece with long sweeping chords covered in a dusky reverb, while the B side sounds as if it were dug up in a swamp somewhere deep in the southeastern US. Loaded with hidden melodies and rich texture, this tape is sure to be a real treat for anyone who enjoys abstracted guitar music. For David Tagg fans – there are only 25 copies so act fast!”
