Yes, technology is stealing our souls; but it's making it easier than ever to hear incredible new music.

Like Fulton Lights. Andrew Spencer Goldman writes, records, and releases his own music. His new album, The Way We Ride, is available as a pay-what-you-want-download and it's fantastic.

That we get to hear this album is all happenstance; Andrew was on a round-the-world trip when he met Melbourne's Royalchord; a few weeks later he and a sturdy laptop toured Australia.

The Way We Ride is an ambitious, fully-realised album; with Stones Throw hip-hop swagger, Ennio Morricone epic arrangements, Brainiac noise hooks, experimental folk a la Joan of Arc, and even space country. Disparate sounds, yet in Andrew's deft hands it's all cohesive.  

T.W.W.R. is a dramatic departure from the Fulton debut and Andrew's other work (Maestro Echoplex, John Guilt). "I'm not afraid of anything musically [anymore] - which is a great feeling", Andrew says. Read the full interview with this musical maverick here.

This unique, genre-defying album also boasts one of the freshest, funnest songs I've heard in ages, the low-fi hip-hop bravado High Plains Drifter tale, 'Everybody's Running from Something'. Dude. Thank God for the computers.
