Max Tundra - Parallax Error Beheads You(Domino, 2008)10 out of 10Today Max Tundra's third LP, Parallax Error Beheads You, is released in England. On November 18th, it comes out in the United States. I've been living with the album for some time now, and even though that's true, even though I live in California and have no personal relationship with Max Tundra — an artist in whom I could say, b.

English multi-instrumentalist (of mostly the '80s Amiga kind) Max Tundra will release his third full-length recording via Domino Records Nov. 18. His spiraling, synth-driven and colorful electronic collages and all his beep beep bleeps have garnered him much praise from the likes of the late John Peel---Tundra, a.k.a. Ben Jacobs, was among the last to record a Peel Session---Pitchfork, and Owen...

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. (Now I've jinxed it, haven't I.)Less pressing matters, though. If we can be thankful for Pitchfork, it's for continuing to cover Max Tundra despite his lack of Radiohead-level (or U2-level, or Oasis-level, or even M.I.A.-level) po...

He_Is_Me says: Tasty, catchy blue-eyed Super-Mario-soundtrack soul. An alternative for those who miss the time when Jamie Lidell sounded less like Jamiroquai. Or for those who miss Cupid & Psyche 85-era Scritti Politti. pop, electronic, soul

Between my video camera malfunctioning and my camera deleting 1/3 of the photos I snapped, I've settled back into post-SXSW life wondering if Austin is some sort of technological bermuda triangle or if I just had bizarre luck. Regardless, I'm sorting through what I've got whilst juggling a research paper. Good things, however, come in pairs and Connor has photos plus some fantastic video to s...

What? Nooo.. LCD Soundsystem might be no more, the socio-political conscience of electro-punk might be gone. Where will we find someone that great again? (pun soo intended). Well we can't go to Digitalism or Crystal Castles, that's for sure. And by the way, doesn't Crystal Castles like steal a lot of samples from Lo-Bat and [...]

I consider myself quite the music dork, yet there are some corners of the sonic universe that not even my iPod pocket-protector and trusty eardrums can delve into. That's definitely one of the finest splendors associated with music and any other art form; there is always something different and exciting to discover no matter how much you've heard or even seen. Such is the case for Max Tund...

Category: Indie electronic stuff.Sounds like: The blithe daydreams of a madcap young scientist.A bit late for a last entry in the spring theme, but you can't contain this mix anyway. It's like a lab beaker bubbling over with day-glo disasters concerned only with getting outside and catching some sun. Conceptually it concerns all things spliced: critters, word games, jumbled thoughts. Natural...

The song's an uptempo new...

I was mentioning well written press releases and THIS has got to be one of the best ever. As unique as the artist I'd say. Max Tundra's "Mastered By The Guy At The Exchange" became a fav of mine after running into the amazing Franz Ferdinand remix he did (which Pitchfork also gave a favorable review). It's gonna be hard for me to top the press release so enjoy the free tunes and don't sle...
