Been a while since this blog was updated, and lots of new CH material has been released in that time...here's some of it...
BEDROOM CARPETA very special album, hinted at since Summer of 2008, has finally arrived. The first Coppice Halifax full-length recording since 2008's tropical-overdose Ocean Lion, Bedroom Carpet brings a much different vibe to the table. Largely ambient but not without some very beat-based tracks, Bedroom Carpet is very warm and humid with lots of sleepy-eyed melodies blipping across a thin line of tape hiss. Written and recorded using only two drum machines, an old Casio keyboard and a four-track tape deck, this is some of my most cozy, playful and analogue music ever made. Very heavily influenced by records like Cylob's "Cylobian Sunset", Aphex Twin's "Selected Ambient Works II" and the "Melodies From Mars" album, as well as things like Kinesthesia, Bochum Welt and even friends of mine Thisket and EOD. Limited edition of 100 copies in a jewel case with full-color printed artwork.

THE ANALOG BOTANY SERIESThe AB catalog subset has been created to organize an ongoing series of thematic EPs. In this series, the music will be markedly different than other "main catalog" Coppice Halifax releases, being much more minimal and influenced by dub techno. In the tradition of several dub and minimal techno pioneers, this series will be presented in the form of singles, with no more than three tracks each, with a unified design featuring an inkstamp on color-coded cardstocks. At present, eight EPs exist, each one limited to only 50 copies.

LUSH Q TRAX 3 & 3.1 (SPLIT WITH FOAMEK)I swear, if nostalgia was a topical anesthetic, it would be called Foamek. This guy stuns me again with his half of our third split together, which could quite possibly be his finest work to date. Incredibly bouncy, warm and beautiful ambient techno on his end, reminiscent of some of my favorite records from the 90's in that vein. Think Voodoo Child's "The End Of Everything" or Twin's "SAW 85-92" and you're close. My half is a bit more updated, with more of the lively yet spacious listening techno I've done on earlier Lush Q releases. For those of you who bought the first two volumes, I promise you volume three will NOT disappoint.
CLICK FOR INFOAs a small, quaint companion piece to the Lush Q Trax III album, Foamek and I have assembled a five track mini-split containing outtakes from the LQ3 sessions. Available only as a digital download EP for a mere five bucks! Comes with hi-res printable artwork and MP3s encoded at 320 KBPS. All material here is exclusive to this EP!
