STILL SINGLE

A space for thoughts on music and culture, as written by Doug Mosurock and a select handful of individuals. This is intended as a supplement to our regular feature Still Single, published on Dusted Magazine. Updates will run here more frequently, and may feature writing on music not covered in the column. Compact discs are still not accepted for review -- we have more than enough vinyl and the occasional cassette to worry about.

Our Twitter feed keeps you apprised of reviews as they're published. It's kept locked and private, because with a name like @stillsingle, everyone thinks it's a dating site. Approvals happen whenever they happen.

NEW ADDRESS -- PLEASE SEND MAIL HERE FROM NOW ON
Doug's contact address is as follows:
Doug Mosurock
PO Box 3087
New York, NY 10185-3087

If you were planning on sending vinyl to Dusted, their HQ has moved to Washington, DC. That means that you're delaying your review by directing copies of your release down there. So make sure it goes to the above address.

Sir Richard Bishop – Graviton Polarity Detector LP (Social Music)

Sir Rick presents a full-length for Mike McGonigal’s Social Music series, which goes way off the spectrum of his more recent material for Drag City. Given the heavy sci-fi notions of the title, the music sets off on a similarly doomed tangent, half thick, Xenakis-style guitar/organ drone orgies of discordant, hellish demeanor, and the other half all over the place. Very little folk guitar is on display here, though the depth of skill Bishop has used on the instrument is not lost, and maybe even intensified through the extremity of this work. One of his noisiest and least-friendly offerings, and a good change of pace. It’ll burn the hair off your arms. Limited to 350 copies. (http://www.socialmusicrecords.com)
