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.

The Polyps – Ants on the Golden Cone LP (Hello Sunshine)

Remember seeing this name around towards the end of the big tape/CD-R boom of 2008. Might’ve been a 7” too, but I don’t recall it sounding much like this longform slice of pastoral noise. Gentle field recordings get blissed out and bent with effects pedals and the occasional melodic narrative, accumulating in presence, then just as easily drifting apart. Good if you absolutely need background music that’s gotta calm you down. (http://woodsist.blogspot.com/p/hello-sunshine.html)
