Beyond-No Man Moves

Moon Glyph keeps the quality electronica coming, this time with the No Man Moves cassette (MG37) from Beyond (J. Shaver of Chicago's Deep Earth). In "Untitled III" transplendent minimalist arpeggiations permute to down-tempo beats, haunted throughout by intermittent blips and glitches. Have a listen below. Get the tape here!

Beyond - Untitled III by Moon Glyph

From Moon Glyph:

"No Man Moves" is the introduction & dismissal of the fog as crafted by Beyond, the moniker of one J. Shaver from Deep Earth. Conquering terrains of intricate tribal synthetics, deep noir-disco & eternal ambience, Beyond seeks comfort in the shadowy undercurrents. With "Untitled III" the gradual ascent leads us to the twitching machine; the centralized workings of the unseen, formidable whole. With great pleasure Moon Glyph presents our 37th release & Beyond's sophomore cassette, "No Man Moves".

Dosh, All Tiny Creatures & Lateduster @ Cedar Cultural Center Friday!

Dosh pulls out the stops every winter for his big show at Cedar Cultural Center, but this Friday he gives you the opportunity to indulge yourself in a little old school Minneapolis music nostalgia with the return of Lateduster! Adding to this Wisconsin's All Tiny Creatures and his own prodigious offering, I'd say he's being quite generous.
