*Some nice press in advance of our show in New Haven, CT, this Sunday 9/7/08.
*New L/L release coming up this September on New Haven-based cassette label, Tape Collection. Two improvised tracks recorded at our Brooklyn studio, hand made sleeves, limited run of 50. Nice.
*We collaborated with The Dust Dive on a track for free103point9's Radio Action III compilation. It was produced as a special program for Radio Web MACBA, a radiophonic project on the MACBA (Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona) website, where you can listen to the entire program. Buy the CD here.
*Come up to Hudson, NY this weekend! We're playing with the Dust Dive, MV & EE and the Golden Road, and Samar Lubelski. Like Campfire Sounds at the Wave Farm, but all dressed up for the city. On the Hudson Waterfront we will play. Saturday, July 26th, 4 - 8 PM. *Our new 7", Solar Filters / Mother Evening, is now available through free103point9's Audio Dispatch series. Check out the review in this month's Wire and the next issue of Signal To Noise (see below for both and more). The record features two new songs recorded and mixed at The Seaside Lounge Recording Studios in 2007, and cover art by Michael Shroads. You can order it from free103point9 or Squidco.com. Coming up, look for Absolute Locations, a double 3" CD release that compiles some of L/L's finest live improvisations from 2005-2007. Other news, a L/L performance from July 2007 is featured in Issue No 5 of the online art journal, nanomajority. There's some info about us and an MP3 from the show featuring Jason Labbe on drums/percussion and Lathan Hardy on saxophones. Lastly, check a video from our performance at free103point9's Wave Farm for the Animals Festival.----- Press for Latitude/Longitude Solar Filters / Mother Evening 7", Edition of 300 (free103point9 Audio Dispatch 031):
"Latitude/Longitude's 7" shimmers along like a Popol Vuh outtake from the
"Aguirre" era with vocals from Kraftwerk's "Autobahn" era and the effect
is not altogether unpleasant. It, too, has an unmistakable air of
remoteness that perhaps lives as a paean to the spectral, sepulchral
static of late-night radio, through which any idea or spirit might issue
forth into the real world. In the way, the vinyl becomes an extension --
with every pit and every crackle -- of the radio station and in this way
it succeeds in becoming itself. It's a transcendent state of being and is
much a worthwhile listen as the sound of blood rushing into your ears when
you're alone and you don't have to look proud." –– David Cotner, Signal To Noise
"There's a lost cinematic quality to the music, also a sense that balloons
are being rubbed somewhere nearby. It's a winning combination." –– Byron Coley, The Wire
"Martial, mantra-like experimental pop [...] a synergistic coma of tension and foreboding. Pretty excellent little record here." –– Doug Mosurock, Dusted
"Gorgeous alternative pop songs." –– Tokafi, Vital Weekly 609 Press for Latitude/Longitude Latitude/Longitude CD-R, Edition of 100 (Early Thieves):
“Atmospheric, sound-dense… haunting, maze-like treks” –– Justin Stewart, The Wire
“Cool as that proverbial mountain stream, and just as sweet…” –– Ptolemaic Terrascope
“Tranquil, beautifully meandering tunes” –– D. Shawn Bosler, The Village Voice
“A music of gentle hypnosis, not a brutal attack…prefers to whisper not holler” –– Tokafi
"There is a refreshing innocence at work here. [Latitude/Longitude] keep the music sparse and endearing with nothing superfluous. Subtle and somber folk/psych/quaint weirdness." –– Bruce Lee Gallanter, Downtown Music Gallery
