So Aether Everywhere is curating a Kranky Label Showcase this weekend, Saturday the 29th at The Bakery (North end, near the corner of Archibald and N. Winooski) and i highly recommend anyone who’s a fan of the Kranky Records sound (you know… hazy, ambient, slightly menacing, a tad sad, always inspired and engaging… that sound) to attend. It’s going to be good.

Here are some sound bites to wet your appetite:

Boduf Songs – “There’s a thread of unease running through these eight minimalist reveries, a hint of supernatural dread, and yet also serenity and loveliness. They are so quiet that you really have to listen—no car CD, this one—but once you do, you are drawn in to a mysterious other space. ” – Jennifer Kelly (Dusted)

To Kill a Petty Bourgeouisie – “The Patron’s best moments. “The Man With the Shovel is the Man I’m Going to Marry” slowly evolves from a soothing synth pattern into swirl of chattering drum machines and effect-heavy layered loop-cannons of Wilhelm’s tiny voice. On “Long Arms”, buzzing samples and distortions give way to a swelling march that recalls the spacey-headed crescendo rock bands.” – Pitchfork

Ben Vida & Greg Davis – Now a Burlington resident Greg Davis will be playing with long time friend & collaborator Ben Vida (Birdshow, Town and Country)

“Vida has concocted a rich, febrile soundscape populated with buzzing, droning, scything strings, wheezy harmoniums, distant voices and the chatter of insects.” – BBC Music

“Davis is a Carpark vet and a former Keith Fullerton Whitman collaborator, a computer musician with a varied background in classical guitar, jazz, hip-hop, and improv.” -Pitchfork
