[Stream] Where.Are.We: “Green Demon”

After releasing the first single a couple weeks ago, Where.Are.We has just dropped his entire new record, And Who Are All These Mystics?. Most of the 13 tracks are new material, but the record does contain almost everything from his Superplexed EP, released back in December of 2010. But, that was a great record and mostly overlooked anyway. Here’s a new cut, and then go listen to the whole thing because it’s one of the better records to come out of Atlanta this year.

[Mp3] Where Are We?: “A Letter To The FDA”

Where Are We? is the moniker of Chris Brooker, who happened to record, mix, and master Red Sea‘s Weird Problem, a record I’m still spinning relentlessly. Last month he released his own work, the Superplexed EP, which showcases impressive musical range in only a seventeen-minute span. At moments there are chill grooves utilizing samples, at others sharp song-writing that rocks out, and sometimes it even seamlessly blends both. I highly recommend you check it out for yourself as you can download the record for free at his bandcamp.
