Promo Promo: Pink Mountaintops - Ambulance City

Power up your front-loaders and check the max-VHS resolution for the new Pink Mountaintops vid which seems to be co-starring 1970s Ron Wood; album Get Back is out Apr 29.

McBean overheard Jaffe drunkenly bragging in a backyard about her state of the art 80's VHS camera. Ambulance City will mark the first time they've worked together since 1431 while serving drinks at Joan of Arc's execution.

Inspired by Swedish Erotica, Cpl. Klinger, and totes non-poser aspirations.

Matthew Herbert: The End Of Silence

New Herbert album available on Bandcamp. 

Following on from Matthew Herbert’s ‘One’ trilogy - One One, One Club and One Pig - ‘The End Of Silence’ takes the idea of a single sound source to its logical conclusion by utilizing only one five second audio recording as the sole source for the whole album.

Matthew was emailed a recording made by photographer Sebastian Meyer during the battle of Ras Lanuf in Libya on 11th March 2011. In the brief recording, a pro-Gadaffi plane can be heard approaching, a whistled warning, a shout and then, as if from nowhere, a bomb. It is this recording that makes up the entirety of this record.

Short Attention Span Theatre: Amblin'

Something a little different for SAST today: Steven Spielberg's 35mm short from 1968, a hippy love story/road trip, filled with a groovy soundtrack and zero dialogue. Probably better known as the film he named Amblin' Entertainment after. Here's Spielberg taking a look back at the poster in 2008.
