We recently had a chance to chat with Shawn Reed, who doubles his time running the great Night-People label out of Iowa City and performing in the group Wet Hair. We discuss how Night-People has evolved over the years, the distinctive silkscreen artwork that he creates, and some of the other projects he has in the works. We also talk about recent developments with Wet Hair and the new album they just recorded called In Vogue Spirit, which is slated for release on the De Stijl label later this spring. In addition to airing this conversation, we play some cassette and vinyl selections from the Night-People catalog, including a few forthcoming tracks that Shawn had provided for us. We also spin the excellent opening track from that new Wet Hair album.
Check out the Night-People website for more information about their releases and to order directly.

We recently had a chance to speak with Graham Lambkin, who was a member of The Shadow Ring, one of the most unique groups to emerge from the 90’s underground, who released albums on such reputable labels as Siltbreeze, Swill Radio, and Corpus Hermeticum. Since The Shadow Ring disbanded in 2003, Lambkin has continued to release a number of fascinating works both on his own and with sound artist Jason Lescalleet. He has issued some of these albums on his own KYE label, which he revived in 2007 with his Salmon Run release and has since begun to put out other like-minded artists’ work as well.
We aired that phone conversation with Graham on this week’s show and played some selections from The Shadow Ring, Graham’s solo and duo outings, and other artists from the KYE catalog. Graham also generously provided us with a few rarities and forthcoming tracks.
For general inquiries and to order KYE releases, contact Graham at: hawkmoths@yahoo.com

This week we celebrated our 5th year of doing Free Form Freakout. What have we learned over those years you ask? Very little, in fact, other than each week still feels like a new adventure and we still enjoy getting together to play music for each other and for those that tune in. For this show, we thought it would be fitting to play a bunch of music from Captain Beefheart, an artist that has been a part of our conversations over the years, not only as a way to mark this occasion, but to celebrate his life and music in light of his recent passing. Thanks to those who have listened over the years and a special thanks to those folks that have joined us on the show to discuss their record labels, their music, their radio programs, their musical interests. Here's to five more years . . .

Call Back The Giants "Autumn Green" S/T LP (Kye)

Angus MacLise "Dreamweapon Benefit . . . pt. 2" Brain Damage in Oklahoma City CD (Siltbreeze)
We were experiencing some technical issues while recording this week's show, so things sound a bit more slurred and blurred than usual. Please pardon the post-dentist-visit-quality of the talk breaks if you will.
Coincidentally, the music selections seemed to fit in fairly well with the unexpected AM sound. Some highlights on this week's show included a track from Death Light's excellent six-song cassette, In The Chambers, which takes a vaguely Residents-like skewed pop sensibility and covers it in an appealing analog haze. There are still copies of this available from Goaty Tapes and a release on Reverb Worship is forthcoming. Open-door, Murfreesburo free rock collective, Horsehair Everywhere, recently dropped a full-length of loud and loose No Neck-style improv on La Station Radar. It's a far cry from Horsehair's, and FFF favorites, Frank Baugh (Sparkling Wide Pressure) and Lee Noble's (LEE NOBLE) solo work, but certainly no less engaging. Eggy Records from Portland just reissued two previously released EPs from the underrated Ghost to Falco on a single cassette. Unlike Ghost to Falco's Exotic Believers album from last year that featured a cast of thirty-plus contributors, this release find GoF's mainman Eric Crespo in a comparatively freewheelin', loner songwriter mode. Things veered towards the lengthy and hallucinatory in the second half of the show with Royallen's contribution from the amazing Good Wheel Tea Carpentry cassette boxset on Housecraft and the shorter, yet equally mind-erasing, part two of Angus MacLise's "Dreamweapon Benefit for Oklahoma City Police Dept", which also features the likes of Tony Conrad and Henry Flynt.

Harmonizer "5th Ward" S/T CS (NNA Tapes)
The new year starts off with a bang with a couple of great tape batches from two of our favorite labels: Digitalis and Stunned. Plucked a few favorites from the stack to play on this week's webcast, among them this incredibly massive single cassette reissue of Panabrite's first two full-lengths Nordsee & Contemplating the Observatory. Panabrite is another synth project helmed by a guy named Norm Chambers out of Seattle. I say "another" in this case because there has certainly been no shortage of synthesizer-based music coming out over the past few years, but Panabrite offers a fairly unique take on things, injecting bits of acoustic instrumentation into his bright and bubbly song-like concoctions. Super Minerals, the duo of Phil French and William Giacchi, step into a whole new dimension on The Hoax, a total trip of an album that at times rivals the sort of oddly rhythmic, multi-layered alien sound scrabble heard on Xiphiidae's recent Pisces Muse tape. If you've been blown away by Bill Orcutt's recent acoustic guitar detonations, you might want to check out his electrified counterpart in Rogue Cop, not that there's really any parallels between their sound or style in any way, shape, or form, both just totally re-imagining the possibilities of the guitar in general. Had to bust out some of the old Portland weirdness with The Parasites of the Western World and Smegma too.

Happy New Year from Free Form Freakout!!! For this week's webcast, we played mostly some new 7" and cassette material that recently arrived, among them this absolute bone-chilling A side from the new Circuit des Yeux Ode to Fidelity single, a promising cut amongst the last batch of the Columbus Discount Records Subscription Club from Deathly Fighters, and another ripper from the always reliable Lee Noble. We also spun some new full-length wax from Hayvanlar Alemi on Sublime Frequencies. If Funeral Mariachi got you craving some classic Sun City Girls aktion, I'd highly recommend picking this one up. Also, arriving just in time for the holidays was the first batch from the Social Music Record & Tape Club, which included the first full-length from Cloudcraft, a new project by Theo Angell and Hamish Kilgour (The Clean). It's an album's worth of gorgeous ragas that can still be had if you head over to the Social Music website.

Thought I'd dig this show up from the archives to replay as a webcast this week as 2010 was another stellar year for all things Digitalis. The audio for the interview sections is a bit rough, so please pardon the "mechanical frog" tones of Brad's voice. But the interview covers quite a bit of ground, including Foxy Digitalis (the webzine), Digitalis Recordings (the label), and Altar Eagle (Brad and Eden's excellent recording project).
