The Dropout Cats out Oct. 19

the alchemist — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 17:47:24 +0000

Without getting involved in the eternal debate between “cat people” and “dog people”, we are pleased to announce the release date of our rare German maestro One in a Googolplex’s new full length release “The Dropout Cats”. You’ve heard the future pop, tribal, 8bit folk of single “Seven Lives and Tasty Mice/Just Like You”. The full album will include those two gems along with nine other tunes that advance and expand the OIAG sound. Without giving too much away, the closest we can come to describing the greatness of this album is to compare it to a collaboration between the Gorillaz, Candy Claws, and The Shins with production by Apparat. In other words, it’s One in a Googolplex!
In the tradition of our latest releases “The Dropout Cats” will be available as a limited edition CD, a digital download, and as a limited edition cassette.
Here’s the tracklist:
1. What Is Your Name
2. Just Like You
3. Celeste
4. The Dropout Cats
5. Seven Lives and Tasty Mice
6. Monolith
7. Our Haystack
8. Infinite Beauty
9. Duplex House
10. Leap Into My Fervid Arms
11. I’m A Bear

Weddings out today

the alchemist — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 15:19:19 +0000

As Mikey from Blackbird Blackbird put it “the wait is finally over. AAP is One of the best, brightest, and somehow deepest artists out there. Give this song a listen and get stoked on his upcoming album (which I have heard myself and is of the freshest, most freakishly trippy, beat-heavy, and experimental instrumental hip-hop nature).” The disc and digital versions are out today and for one week only we have the limited edition of the CD on sale for 8$.
We’ve changed the site a bit and added a shopping cart. All should go well but drop us an email if you have any trouble ordering.

Consider this Christmas in July! Here is a little 3 song EP of covers by I and I, Eric Sarmiento and Kalpana and Illus Ocean. I and I gives an interpretation of Swedish troubadour The Tallest Man On Earth’s excellent song “I Won’t Be Found”. Eric and Kalpana’s version of Radiohead’s “House of Cards” is a cool summertime jam to soothe the sun baked soul and Illus Ocean does a 10cc inspired take on Alchemists’ own The Pistol Arrows “Tangled and Strangled”.

You are invited to Weddings

We are excited to announce that on August 24th we’ll be releasing new artist Atlantic at Pacific’s rad debut “Weddings”. It’s full of hazy shimmering beat driven beach music that is as much akin to Eno’s ambient work and Boards of Canada as it is to recent “Chillwave” sounds from the likes of Washed Out. We’ll be featuring some Atlantic at Pacific material here as we lead up to the release date. For now, here is the cover featuring an awesome image by holgabot.
