NOW AVAILABLE

cubists - the sixth release from sonogram, the electronic project from crushed stars’ todd gautreau.

currently in heavy rotation on XM/Sirius CHILL and TOP 10 KDVS Sacramento

the most diverse sonogram release to date, tracks range from the ambient “certainly obscured” and “fell through mirrors” to glitchier fare “gateway drugs” and “studer.”
while downtempo tracks such as “soul brother” and “purple vinyl” sit alongside the more upbeat and playful beat-oriented tracks “the knack and how to get it” and
“anise gumdrops”.

then there’s the inspired cover of “someone to watch over me,” which is the first sonogram track ever to feature a vocal. originally conceived for a Mad Men remix project that was shelved,
all elements of the orginal recording were then abandoned and has been re-worked as a cover with vocalist mia forsett.

another sonogram release is planned for later this year.
