Avant Music News

Here is where I post, at a frequency of about once a week, a list of the new music that has caught my attention that week. All of the releases listed below I’ve heard for the first time this week and come recommended.

Sey Hollo – Sey Hollo (2010)
Sunn0))) – Black1 (2005)
Yuriy Yaremchuk & Ilia Belorukov – Meeting in Saint-Petersburg (2010)
Hardedge / Graham Haynes – Within an Inch of its Life (2010)

One of my all all-time favorites, the good Captain has passed at age 69. We all should spin a few of his tracks today and revel in his wonderful eccentricity.

Rolling Stone
Avant Ghetto
New York Times
The Up-Sifter

NPR
