FEATURED DISPATCHES

Latitude/Longitude and Radio Ruido

Two new seven-inch singles from free103point9's Dispatch Series: Vital Weekly calls Latitude/ Longitude's "Solar Filters" and "Mother Evening" "gorgeous alternative pop songs." The Wire says, "a unique landscape of electroacoustic experimentalkism, in a herky style reminiscent of the jollier members of the Los Angeles Free Music Society or even very early Climax Golden Twins." Radio Ruido has a new 2x7" called "False Rosetta," an homage to numbers stations, the spy stations with voices reading coded numbers. Signal to Noise calls it, "intensely lonely...slow processions that lead into the eternity of space where all radio waves ultimately go."
