Longtime editor of Minneapolis-based publication self-titled, the site that's been altering your algorithm since 2008, Andrew Parks is taking listeners on a dual trip through their powers of musical curation. Between introducing their new shows Oscillation, where listeners can expect "a complete disregard for release dates and a stark-raving-mad survey of new and old music," as well as the newly minted self-titled presents: DJ Pure Moods, unveiling Parks' ambient DJ alias and the announce of the site's new sister publication, self | centered, there's a lot to watch out for from the self-titled camp this November.

Known for reworking and perfecting new material on the road, Animal Collective spent a few weeks at Drop of Sun studio in Asheville, NC rehearsing and jamming before their end of Summer tour.

And with a new album on the horizon, there's no telling what fresh ideas could be percolating.

Constant Shapes
It’s rare for a push notification to lead directly to a forest clearing. These improvisational jam session ebbs and flows, awash in shimmering synths, yawning pads, and field recordings mimicking the natural interplay of sounds meandering through air, or being carefully divided through the subtle movement of wings and water. Reminiscent of Wolfgang Voigt’s inorganic bucolic masterpiece Pop, these ambient compositions could dupe a well tuned Turing Test despite being little more than 1’s and 0’s. Tune in for Constant Shapes weekly Monday radio show at 4pm EST.

Some stations come through crystal clear, with discernible grooves, vocal samples, and rhythms, while others relish in the reverb and shoegaze-y terrain that often act as a foundation of Willner’s work. Tune in Fridays @ 5pm EST for future installments of A 7-Part Odyssey.
