Here’s our next new release on the way in 2015: river run thee, the third installment in Matana Roberts’ visionary Coin Coin series. The album follows 2011’s Gens de couleur libres and 2013’s Mississippi Moonchile, both genre-exploding ensemble works showered with widespread critical acclaim.
With Chapter Three Roberts presents a solo work, building a hallucinatory and hypnotic soundworld from layered streams of sung and spoken vocals, pure and processed saxophone, drones, noise, sampler/fx pedals and field recordings.
Coinciding with the new album, Matana will be living on a tiny houseboat in Brooklyn for the next several months, and has launched a new blog to act as a sort of “digital ship’s log” where she’ll gather observations and reflections that further develop themes presented on the record. Check it out and check back often.
Head to our RELEASE PAGE for full album info and preorder options.

Here is a local guy I like who is putting out a new record in April. In the meantime, he would like you to have some music for free:
