DOWNLOAD: Majeure - "Atlantis Purge" (MP3 EXCERPT)

The best thing about Zombi? When they aren't cranking out killer releases like last year's BV favorite Escape Velocity then the duo is splitting apart to make interesting music on their own. In this case, they are doing BOTH; Steve Moore and Majeure have combined forces on a split 12" for TRL.

Brainstorm is due on Feb 7th and features five total tracks, four of which belong to Steve Moore with the remaining 20-minute-opus on the flip belonging to Majeure (aka AE Paterra). Download a snippet of the Majeure track "Atlantis Purge" (which sounds like a John Carpenter composition or an outtake from Vangelis's iconic score from Blade Runner) above and stream "Enhanced Humanoid" by Steve Moore below. Preorder your copy in different colorways at TRL.

All streams and the album info is below.

Zombi

Zombi is back in NYC and will descend on Santos Party House on Dec 18th with Arp and Hours of Worship. Tickets are on sale. The show is one of two dates for Zombi and Arp, the other being Philly on 12/19.

Though Zombi released Spirit Animal on Relapse earlier this year, the pair hasn't rested ever since. Steve Moore has released multiple remixes for the likes of Maserati (RIP Jerry Fuchs), Jupiter, Arnaud Rebotini, and others as well as original compositions under his name and under the guise of Gianni Rossi and Lovelock (who was recently featured in the recent Chromeo DJ Kicks Comp). Meanwhile, AE Paterra has been driving to the hoop with Majeure, his solo project which saw it's debut, Timespan, on Temporary Residence Limited earlier this year.

Arp also provides music specially commissioned for "REPLICA" at the New Museum...

REPLICA, a collaborative performance piece by Daniel Arsham, Jonah Bokaer, and Judith Sanchez Ruiz, examines memory loss, pattern recognition, and perceptual faculties as they apply to the human body. The piece employs built spaces, objects, lighting, and other media to create the illusion of an expanded space through the use of video and/or still images. REPLICA creates situations onstage that could not veritably exist in physical space. This happens through the use of creative geography in video and built spaces, transporting movement to different locations that appear to be just outside the audience's sightline.

You can catch REPLICA on December 10th, 11th 17th and 18th, with related events throughout the month.

Hours of Worship will open the Santos show in celebration of a new EP, Into The Grass, out on on 12/4 via Ekleroshock. Hours of Worship also dropped a remix for Wildildlife's "Nervous Buzzing", which is available above.

Maserati are prepping to release a rarities compilation entitled Passages:

Featuring all four tracks from their blink-and-it's-gone limited-edition split LP with Zombi, as well as their remix LP (featuring The DFA's Tim Goldsworthy and !!!'s Justin Van Der Volgen), Passages is augmented with two previously unreleased tracks - the Moog-fueled meditative trance of Steve Moore's "Monoliths" remix, and the positively sublime emotional heft of "Do You Hear The Nightbirds Calling You?", all remastered from the original master tapes and packaged with eye-popping new artwork.

Also included on the Enhanced CD are two brilliant videos for "Inventions (Live)" and "This Is A Sight We Had One Day On The High Mountain."

That new LP includes the kick ass "Monoliths" as well as the previously discussed "Join Us, Mystic Sister / No More Sages" available for download above. Look for that LP to surface on merch tables during their stint with Mono which includes their dates at The Bell House (9/29, tix) and Bowery Ballroom (9/28, tix). All dates below.

Meanwhile, a member of Zombi recently signed with Temporary Residence and is prepping a new LP. Majeure, the nom de plume of A.E. Paterra, will release Timespan (featuring "Teleforce" above) on the label this fall with pre-orders kicking off on 9/1.

Full tour dates and those previously-mentioned videos are below...
