I had the gentlemen from Thermometerometer out to my mansion in the Hamptons over Memorial Day Weekend so I could executive-produce one of their battery-powered outdoor jams.

Dan arrived armed with a contact mic’d football to throw in the ocean & a laptop full of mad FX to process the signal. David carted a supernaturally powerful Orange speaker, a strange oscillator from Britain & a delay pedal which allowed him to manipulate the fabric of time itself.

Gale force winds buffeted us at the ocean’s edge & the football refused to stay tethered in the breakers. Meanwhile, the contact mic was picking up more hurricane-whipped sand than ocean. Undaunted by the adverse conditions of the experiment, Thermometerometer recorded until the battery in the laptop died. I present you the audio document of this experiment not because of its perfection, but because it’s interesting to hear what can happen when two weirdos with a handful of electronic instruments try to wrangle the elements into some form resembling ‘music.’

Listen here.

The next day the wind continued & instead of making another attempt at recording the ocean, I had T-MOM set up in my little sister’s bedroom. Inspired by the spirit of Lil’ Miss Tibs, they recorded two truly sick bedroom jams. It quickly became apparent that bedroom jams had become droom jams, doom jams & finally Dume Jams. Keep an eye on this page for those massive tracks – I plan to release them as part of a Thermometerometer E.P. in the very near future.

We are very excited to announce an upcoming collaborative release between our boy, Speak Onion, and good buddy, Mercy Choir. These two have decided to work together and that the best format for them to collaborate would be for Speak Onion to record and heavy-handedly produce a few of Mercy Choir’s songs. We are expecting Mercy Choir’s psychadelic folk to sit interestingly, if uncomfortably, with Speak Onion’s rough, soundscape-y production style. Or perhaps, Speak Onion will bring nasty textures to Mercy Choir’s quirky compositions. Ok, honestly, we don’t know what’s going to happen, but we know these two madmen spent a Saturday together making sounds, and we’re pretty pumped up about it.

The final product will be co-released by us here at I.B.N. and the good people at Dead Language Records. Downloads will ensue.

Stay tuned for more updates! There are more pics in the Visuals section.

DANG!!!! There were some intense jams going down last night. Spatterface, Clairaudient, Speak Onion, Digit216, and Realicide ALL brought their A-game without a doubt. Many eardrums were shredded and many pizzas were eaten. Yum.

Were you there? Throw up a comment to tell all the trick-ass busters who missed out what it was like.

There’s lots of videos on our youtube channel and in the visuals section along with some pics of Spatterface.

Can’t wait for the next one. Thanks again to Digit216 and Realicide for coming out to play with us, and everyone who came out to check out our styles.

Stay tuned for more Immigrant Breast Nest activities, because we are blowing up Brooklyn Famous right now!
