We couldn’t resist posting a release on what apocalypse-obsessed, Mayan-misinterpreting alarmists would have you believe to be the last leap day in the age of humankind in this particular plane of existence, so it is only right that it be one by the self-ascribed Bringer of Chaos that calls itself Unikron. As irresistible cosmic forces go, the will of Unikron rivals even that of the most compelling calendrical anomalies.
Today, then, brings us the first single from the forthcoming LP (and a double single at that, nevermind the obvious contradiction in terms), which ethereal whispers swirling deep within our madness-tainted minds suggest may be titled Entropic Sound Part I: Omniversal Eventuality Generator. Foreboding, innit?
“Egg My Bum” delivers a concise display of atmospheric garage spliced with the vocal stylings of a seriously malfunctioning Freddie Mercury robodoppleganger. Its counterpart, “Feels Good Man,” brazenly suggests truth in the wild associative suppositions of one amateur journalist some years ago, and serves the evidence in a twisted fondue of rock, dance, and breakbeats.
Unikron’s conquest of reality is as foregone a conclusion as the heat death of the universe. Of all universes. Surrender yourself and you will be allowed to live a bit longer. Resistance is futile (or useless, depending on your preference). Boink.

- Egg My Bum (2:13)

Continuing in the spirit of vault releases, here we have Dan Lillie, aka The Sticky Situation, in a far different incarnation. Written and recorded some 8 or 9 years ago, these are mellow, pensive ambient pieces which exhibit a pervasive minimalist influence - Steve Reich’s phasing technique is experimented with quite a bit throughout, for example. This is, perhaps, particularly notable on “One Plus One Plus One,” which deconstructs a famous riff from a certain ubiquitous metal band.
In all, this release gives us 45 minutes of melancholic atmosphere perfect for a quiet afternoon, or evening, or whatever. Put some headphones on and drift away.
Tracklisting:
- The Opening Up Chord (3:17)
- One Plus One Plus One (4:29)
- C+Em+G+Bm (5:44)
- 3+4+5 (13:01)
- Beating Sines+Clouds+Birds+Piano (19:30)

Today we present two pieces unearthed from the ‘Lobe vault, which is quickly becoming somewhat vast. Made almost five years ago before being shelved, lost, and found again, this pair of drones de/reconstruct early versions of then-unreleased Saffron Slumber works, taking his penchant for pleasantly pensive atmosphere and twisting it into something somewhat more sinister.
A bit of doom and gloom to brighten your day. Loom ominously with your tenth animal of the Chinese zodiac exposed. Something like that.
Tracklisting:
- Sleeping Deep in an Obsidian Sea (7:08)
- Striking the Anvil of Cumulonimbus (8:58)
