* Matt Moody, well-known in the bearded world as bassist and lead throat for local shamble-jammers Hands Down Eugene, has gone and made a record of his own under the moniker A Country Gentleman, and called that album Pardoned. Not a lengthy departure from HDE's Beatlish charms, but with an intimate bedroom-recorded feel. Yeah, you can go download it for free. [Bandcamp]

* So that really incredibly well-done video for local ambient duo Hammock we posted the other day? Well, that song ("Breathturn") is from their new album , which got a nice (OK fine, 7.3) review from Pitchfork that includes this very Pitchforky line: "It's intensely visual music— you really get the sense of shapes shifting and forms moving." Well done, local ambient duo Hammock. [P4K]

* Thornton, the band that became Waves on Waves, whose fliers you might have seen above a toilet or two around town at some point, have started a Kickstarter campaign to press their early-Aughts album Had a Sword onto some vinyl. They've got $1240 and 51 days to go. [Kickstarter]
