3:33- In the Middle of Infinity

The experimental beatmusic project 3:33 will be releasing a new album at the end of this month via Parallel Thought titled In the Middle of Infinity. If there was any time of year for an album like this, it's the end of October. That's when stuff is supposed to be creepy and stuff, right?

But seriously, while 3:33 does rely on looped rhythms to get its point across, it's a bit darker than most projects you'll find in this genre. 3:33 doesn't just deliver rhythms, but also toys with elements of dark ambient and drone across the 11 tracks on this new album. I'd actually say the 41-minute closing track is the most ambitious ambient piece the project has embarked on thus far.

Del The Funky Homosapien & Parallel Thought- "If Ya Don't"

Del the Funky Homosapien & Parallel Thought are gearing up for a new collaborative release in June titled Attractive Sin. Like usual, Del drops some personality-driven verses that bring extra servings of lyrics and character. Parallel Thought's production is solid, featuring a pretty airing organ that keeps the instrumental sounding a bit atmospheric.

Look for this LP on June 19th. From what I hear, Deltron 2 is supposed to be on the way sometime soon, too.

3:33- "C3"

From the looks of 3:33's album artwork, you'd think this project was some sort of rising black metal band. Well, if the previous sentence didn't already make it obvious, that's not the case. Still, the music 3:33 creates is undeniably dark, mysterious, and strange.

What 3:33 creates is beats. The drums are usually pretty overblown, and have a sort of fuzzy quality to them because of it. Count on some ominous tones to be hanging in the background of whatever song 3:33 creates, and some noisy samples as well. All in all, they sort remind me of Black Moth Super Rainbow, but with much darker intentions.

3:33's album, the First Thousand Days, is downloadable on Bandcamp right here.

Another thing: These guys have another release dropping November 1st! It's an album titled Live From the Grove, which is in reference to the Bohemian Grove.

It's not a live album in the traditional sense--you know, with an audible crowd--but the Parallel Thought label does guarantee this record was created there. A trailer:
