Circuitree Records is back with the part 3 of 4 in their Universus compilation series.
Universus Vol III takes the campaign in a new direction, with more artists–13–and a greater variety of styles. The prevailing theme? You guessed it: The description-less “post-dubstep” (Remember when I sheepishly described Mount Kimbie as post-dubstep? Hint: there is no such thing as post-dubstep. Or dubstep.)
Circuitree is letting us share a highlight track from the mix – a hi-fi heater with FlyLo-esque soundscapes from Aligning Minds.

Brasky had the chance to pelt Cameron Bird from Architecture in Helsinki with a few questions before their show this Thursday night at Crowbar.
It’s been more than a decade since you’ve started – what’s the biggest change in your attitude to your music?
Cameron Bird: “I don’t know that there’s been a huge change at the core. We are still the same people with the same attitude. It’s more how our music has changed with experience. We have gotten more and more into arrangement and production with each record.”
Does being Australian have a big influence on your sound?
Cameron Bird: “Without Doubt. If you make honest music, it will always have an element of your surroundings in it. The geographic isolation of Australia means that we are less worried about where we ‘fit’. “
Which albums have been piquing your interests this year?
Cameron Bird: “Metronomy’s ‘English Riviera’, Cut Copy’s ‘Zonoscope’, everything that Johnny Jewel makes.”
Bird Watching?
Cameron Bird: “Too many great memories. Touring in the U.S. is the best. I only wish we had documented our experiences more.”
Your last three albums were 67, 30, and 12 respectively on the ARIA charts. So, your next one should place in the negative. Break out the champagne. Did you ever expect this sort of success when you began?
Cameron Bird: “We never intended to play outside of Melbourne. The band was just something we did for fun. People liked it so we kept recording songs. Somehow it’s been able to sustain itself!”
Short, but sweet. Be sure to catch Architecture in Helsinki’s delicious indie-pop dancey-ness this Thursday. Sure, they’re Australian, but no one’s perfect.

Just when I thought I had my sexual orientation figured out, resident musician and general misanthropy enthusiast Victor Florence has to go and ruin it all with his lovely voice and flowing melodies.
Born in the eighties, or nineties, or something, Victor is actually 48 years old by heart. When not typing on type writers, being leased by Seaworld to serenade penguins, or impregnating women with his voice alone, he can sometimes be found at coffee shops or studying at the University of South Florida.
So, go and grab his newest EP here: Autumn by Victor Florence.

Brasky.org is proud to present Bedroom Beats, the first installment of Florida Indoors, a free compilation series setting out to showcase creative electronic music around Florida. Our inaugural mix proudly serves up 19 tracks from artists living in or originating from Florida. Some of these tracks are being released for the first time. Headlining the compilation are nationally recognized artists Machinedrum (originally from Orlando area) and MillionYoung, Miami’s chillwave maven.

Here are some recent album covers–notice anything unusual?
Unless you have that rare recognition disorder that plagued Dudley from The Royal Tenenbaums, you have probably noticed a lot of similarity here. 45 degree angles, convergence to a vanishing point, natural horizons, collaging, natural images used as fills between lines, some color coincidence… Pick any two and you can find a remarkable amount of similarities (even the first and last – mostly dissimilar, but nearly identical dusk backgrounds).
Update – Carlos (aka Navigateur) found another one (my alarm is almost real at this point):
Double Rainbow?
Being the average American idiot, I assumed it all had to mean something. So I decided to investigate patterns between the album titles, putting on my best Da Vinci Code paranoia complex:
- Painted Palms – Canopy EP (2011)
- Tame Impala – Innerspeaker (2010)
- Ladytron – White Elephant (2011)
- Goose – Synrise (2011)
- Hushpuppies – The Bipolar Drift (2011)
- Datahowler – Live (DJ set) (2011) – reader submitted, 9-22
“Painted Palms” contains all the letters in “Tame Impala”. Also….
Also….
Shit.
I’m at a dead end. But like any unfounded belief, if we combine efforts and keep looking, we’ll find evidence of what we assumed to be true. So, help! I’d be interested to see if anyone can find more album artwork that seems to fit into this phenomenon.
Regardless of the absence of any substantial coincidences, there’s a VERY good chance that my observations correlate with the imminent enslavement or extermination of mankind.
You heard it here first.
