INEVERYROOM has evolved from experimental pop into textual compositions exploring live and sampled sounds. In 2010, Lands & Peoples and INEVERYROOM created a split cassette that got Pitchfork’s attention. Shortly following that, Local Baltimore label, Friends Records released a self titled 7-song cassette and digital download. For their microshow they were inspired by healing and easy listening, R&B, carnivals, textures found in nature and their friends in Baltimore.

Sometimes I am not sure what’s going on with Amy and Chase’s music. Part mad scientists part Brian Eno/Daniel Lanois. It’s completely genre-less. You just don’t know what you are going to get – but you keep wanting more and never wanting it to end. And that happened last week when INEVERYROOM, unfortunately, played their last show.

I recently worked in the studio with Alex from A Cat Called Cricket. Over the past few months we produced a transitional EP that will be bridging the gap between their last record and their upcoming record due out in 2012. These songs are heartfelt and while great on their own didn’t really have a place on the upcoming record. So while this isn’t really a taste of what’s to come, it’s a different side of A Cat Called Cricket. It’s a perfect autumn soundtrack. Crack the windows and let the cold air come in and enjoy my favorite track from the EP, Atlas, complete with cellos, handclaps and organs. Also enjoy a killer remix of When Leaves Fall (available as a free download on the Beechfields’ site after you purchase the EP).

If you haven’t already picked up a copy, be sure to buy one on the Beechfields‘ site and soon on iTunes!
