Y'all ready to get your stilted groove on? Well, y'all best be, because electronic pop perfectionist Max Tundra is hitting up the U.S. this November. Mr. Tundra (a.k.a. Ben Jacobs) is touring behind last year's Parallax Error Beheads You (TMT Review), a record that inspires only the highest-quality awkward dance moves. I've got this one move where I frantically raise and lower my arms, while de...

English multi-instrumentalist (of mostly the '80s Amiga kind) Max Tundra will release his third full-length recording via Domino Records Nov. 18.

Ben Jacobs, was among the last to record a Peel Session---Pitchfork, and Owen...

Let's do this quick. Yesterday was the second to last Brooklyn Pool Party on the East River. Here's how it went down.Max Tundra was just as wonderfully spastic and short as one could hope.

I suppose I'm what you would call a late bloomer in that regard, but while I was certainly aware of the genre before, I had always dismissed it as "not my thing." Fortunately, I've been coming around and trying to make up for it by getting my hands on music by some of the more relevant and current elec...

Max Tundra - Parallax Error Beheads You - Album Review A parallax error is a discrepancy between what you see and what is really there, due to the line of view.

Okay, so I didn't write about Philip Glass. Maybe I jinxed it. So I won't jinx what will hopefully be the topic of my next post; I'll possibly get around to it today.
