Room 205 with Daedelus

We’re pleased to premiere Episode Seven of Room 205 with Daedelus. LA-based electronic musician, Alfred Darlington (a.k.a. Daedelus), will be celebrating his 10-year recording anniversary with the new album, Bespoke, coming out this month on Ninja Tune.

Throughout his prolific career Daedelus has released singles and EPs for Brainfeeder, All City, Magical Properties, Alpha Pup Records, Warp, and Stones Throw. He’s regarded by many as a producer’s producer and a musician’s musician, frequently collaborating with fellow artists and audiophiles to explore new sounds and techniques in the realm of electronic music.

For his Room 205 episode, Daedelus wanted to re-imagine our space as a Victorian-era séance. So, with a bit of help from director Michael Reich and set designer Tamarra Younis, that’s exactly what he did.

With genuine kid-like enthusiasm we present the first installment of Room 205: Episode Seven with Daedelus. “Scaling Snowdon (Slow Climb Version)”. The second and third installments will be available April 11th and 18th respectively.

On Giving Up by High Places

Visual art plays an important role in Mary Pearson and Rob Barber’s collaboration. The two make video projections for their stage shows and create their own album artwork. In this way and others, High Places challenge the conventional parameters of a rock band and instead give us a multi-sensory aesthetic partnership that continually defies expectations. Today we’re excited to present “On Giving Up”— video #2 from the band’s recent visit to Room 205.

Hold by La Sera

La Sera performing “Never Come Around” at Room 205.

After touring the world, releasing a handful of well-received records, and starting the label Wild World with her Vivian Girls band mates, Katy Goodman played in the short-lived dream-pop band All Saints Day and released a hard-to-find self-titled 7″ of spectral pop tunes. In February 2010 she began working on fresh material for her new side band, La Sera. According to Goodman, the project’s inspiration springs from an attraction to ethereal choral vocals and pop hits of the 1950’s. Indeed
