Welcome back again.

First up this week, we have sneak preview of the upcoming album by Lapis, Barry Seroff's duo with former Little Ricky's House of Chankletas bandmate Stefan Paolini.

Though, don't expect LRHC from Lapis. LRHC was a kitchen sink melange of elements, while Lapis has a sharp focus. Restricting themselves to Barry's Flute and Shakuhachi playing and Stefan's piano, allows them to explore otherworldly places compositionally as well as the range of their respective instruments. Their classically trained expertise, and openness to wild and varied experimentation is presented on full display here on their upcoming record, A Path Toward Solace.

So, while await the arrival of the album, check out this track, Pull The Trigger.

Barry Seroff is also busy with his podcasts, this week's 3/26/09 is the fifth chapter of his Jackson Songs series. This episode is full of gorgeous playing, as the tension mounts. The end of the track has the sounds of the delivery nurse, and more of the hospital ambience.

Also new this week is the latest podcast from El Plan De Aguavodka, Running With Tape. Sounding like a vintage tape music piece from 60's or 70's, it full of bonks and squiggles. Finally we have the final episode of the Painful Leg Injuries' latest podcast series Subharmonic New Homeowner Blues with SNHB6. Next week, the PLI returns with the 32nd podcast series, Improper Fractions, a collection of generative compoositions. Until next week.
