LISTEN: Carl Stone’s ‘Baroo’ Out Now

Carl Stone’s incredible new album, Baroo, is out today on Unseen Worlds. In his trademark way, Stone—a pioneer of computer music and live electronic performance—shatters pieces that seem pulled from archives of soul, salsa, and psychedelic pop and reassembles them into new shapes that move like rapid rivers and sparkle like jewels. “I have always been searching for a way to articulate the intangible area between the recognizable and the unfathomable, a feeling perhaps informed by some long-abandoned experiments with psychedelics,” he writes of the record. Hear it now, and see Carl at Big Ears 2019.
