Archipelago - On post-derearrangement (USA 2009)
Another 'beautiful noise' record by ARCHIPELAGO: On post-derearrangement. It's similar in style to Professional Talking.
Archipelago - Professional Talking (USA 2009)
"Ours is a three-piece. I go by Stitch and I play a sp404, a kp2, couple other delay pedals. I sing sometimes and play the sax and sometimes keys. Leif David sings and uses an akai headrush e2, a 2 second digitech delay, and some other delays on his vocals. 'Hogroast' Y. Land plays guitar through a whole mess of things that change depending on whats working at the moment. Again, lots of delay on him too. --- The recordings (...) are live takes recorded into my macbook via the internal mic, all done within in the past month. Leif and I have been playing around for a year or so and were joined by mr. land in July. --- We will soon be releasing our material on cassette through the Portland, Oregon label 'Gnar Tapes & Shit'. They are sincerely rad dudes. --- Leif and I previously played together in a band called Gratitillium. We also play folk tunes (he plays banjo and I play clarinet). --- We think of Archipelago as noise. Sub-categorization could go on (pointlessly) forever. Our musical influences are varied to the extent that grouping our sound with any influence would be a convolution to the understanding our music. We encourage anyone to listen and make genre assumptions for themselves. That is a main reason we decided to release this free over the internet. --- Personally, a main influence is the notion of 'derangement of the senses', cultivated and sought after by Brion Gysin, William Burroughs, and generations of noise musicians to follow. Brion Gysin's noise experiments set the wheels in motion for me to be able to make this type of music. --- http://www.myspace.com/archipelagopdx has some other stuff to enjoy." (S. H.)
ARCHIPELAGO are from Portland, Oregon, USA.
I think their music could best be described as psychedelic noise rock, though the 'noise' on tracks like 'tubes issued' e.g. is rather some kind of 'beautiful noise'. Excellent production, very clear sounding. Enjoy!

15. TRAUMMASCHINE - Angelica Filanda - 5.30
16. TAPIO OKSA - Sammon Sirpaleet - 3.06
The purpose of this sampler (and this blog) is to show how many great unrecognized very creative bands/artists are out there in the WWW – bands that are doing their own thing, unimpressed by the mainstream plastic pop world ...
I hope that at least some of those musicians will get the recognition they deserve ... at least in the digital world.
Since I started homemade-lofi-psych in January this year there were 137 posts; nearly 60 different bands/musicians were introduced to you blog readers.
HLFP 03 may serve as an appetizer. It features some of my personal favourite tracks by musicians, that were featured on this blog since I posted the last HLFP sampler...
(HLFP 02 "EMBRYO THOUGHTS" – though there is one exception: dANIL, who nevertheless is featured under another name on this blog as solo artist and band member of ORANGE, SUPER KING AND THE FIRE ACTION and CAPTAIN FARTFISH AND HIS CAREFUL MUFFINS)
... and that are NOT yet featured on the first two samplers. Therefore the title: "NEW KIDS ON THE BLOG".
Whoever will download HLFP 03 has the chance to come to know those bands and listen to one of their songs – and if he likes what he hears he may check out the original post with the complete album that song is taken from...
BLOGGERS: Feel free to repost this sampler, but please tell me about it, and please use the original links as long as possible!
The first and second Homemade-Lofi-Psych Samplers are still available for download:
Enjoy! And Merry Christmas!

Shalloboi - Down To Sleep (USA 2008)
Tyler Ritter, guitar player and singer from the Chicago band SHALLOBOI, sent me this recording to share with you - and I really love it. It's fantastic; do yourself a favour and download this gem!SHALLOBOI sound like a crossing between SIGUR RÓS, MÚM and MY BLOODY VALENTINE and MOGWAI. So if you like any of those bands CHECK THIS OUT!
"Down To Sleep" was recorded from August 2005 to March 2008 by Tyler Ritter on 8-track cassette machine in Chicago, Il and KaNSAS CITY, Ks.
Personal: Tyler Ritter: g., voc., loops, perc., toy xylophone, glockenspiel, piano, organ, bs, 6-string bs / Stefanie Goodwin: dr., voc., perc., glockenspiel / Billy Speer: cello / Hannah Trobe: cello (on "to the sky") / Christopher Gagnon: violin.
"this newest release was culled from a cycle of 25 songs that were recorded over a two and a half year process and feature some more fully fleshed-out string parts incorporating the use of violin for the first time as well as stefanie goodwin's transition to the use of live drums. the songs are almost purely droned based with a few exceptions and the guitars more heavily textured. all effects (except for guitar effects) were archived with the use of large spaces serving as echo chambers..."
