気晴らしのスペクトラム / Kibarashi no supekutoramu

I have copies of my new (albeit not-quite-released) album The Spectrum of Distraction (official release date January 17 2012) available now on the Broken Spine Productions webstore for the Europeans who’d like to save on international shipping (North Americans can order it direct from Robotic Empire).

If you’d like to read some more about the album and sample a few tracks from the Complete Sessions (available as a download with the CD — almost 6 hours of music) you can do so here on Pitchfork, Exclaim, and The Post Rock (Deutsch).

And here are some photos highlighting Matt Smith‘s delightful illustrations:

In other release news, my (other) new solo album Closure Axioms is now available from Miskatonic Sound Lab and Nadja‘s The Bungled & The Botched has been newly re-issued on CD by Consouling Sounds (it’ll be in our webstore later this week).

And lastly some tourdates:
