Combining structured melody with a touch of sonic improvisation, the EBSK sound merges the aesthetics of ambient music with the potency of psychedelic free-rock. EBSK's single for Scarcelight 'Secret Highways / Wobbly' was described as; "a very goddam original take on contempo basement prog (or some such thing)." - Byron Coley, The Wire "inhabits an inspired interzone where lo-fi electronica, kraut, prog, & post-rock intersect" - Ron Schepper, Stylus STILL AVAILABLE: ////(LLL43) SKULLLIKE - Eggs on Equators CD ----------- file under: rock music ////(SLR49) THE TRUST RIOTS - Dead Heaven 3"CDR ----------- kill yr guitars ////(SLR41) PLAINS - Into Tone CD ----------- beautiful & desolate landscape for more info on these releases please visit our website http://scarcelight.org ----------- LIVE ACTION ----------- EBSK: November 20th (SLR32) release party!

Generously, the following have acquiesced to play as well: the mighty Accelera Deck from Birmingham, AL (www.scarcelight.org) I'm a huge fan of Chris' work and am humbled to be sharing a bill with him. Better than Christian Fennesz, as good as Will Sergeant; Myo (www.myosound.com), top flight hallucinatory granular crackle from Baltimore. The real shit, I can't wait to hear what he brings; and FFFFs, (www.socketscdr.com) non-ornamental, melodic loopworks, pure and clean. Sean Peoples is quickly becoming a DC underground institution. A true believer with the blisters to prove it, his hard work is putting a thousand great things together, including this night. ------------ TOP 5 for 05 ------------ Nautical Almanac: Cover the Earth (Heresee) Evol: Magia Potagia (Mego) Plate Six: Battle Hymns for the New Republic (Bent Rail) Lungfish: Feral Hymns (Dischord) Mikroknytes: Sess-Supastreng (Kave Kavity) -------------------- forthcoming for 2006 -------------------- 50th release by Scarcelight to be a mammoth mp3 collection; every single mp3 and CDR released by the label during 2003, 2004 and 2005 collected onto DVD-R.
