Hi all,
 
Here's what we have coming up this week:
 
Tonight's Inside Track is Incisivi Tribolazione III N IV, the second album from Carrboro-based artist Clark Blomquist’s under the moniker Tegucigalpan. Originally from Clearwater, FL, Clark has been living in Carrboro for a long time and he’s played in local acts of note like Waumiss, The Kingsbury Manx, and Spider Bags (among many others). Similar to last year’s Fifth of SheIncisivi is broken into two seemingly disparate halves. The first 6 or 7 tracks are off-kilter bedroom pop songs that recall Clark’s days in Waumiss, while the second is darker and more inorganic, demonstrating Clark's taste for dub and techno--with just a dash of Suicide thrown in for good measure.
 
Monday's Outside Track features Bronze, the new album from Hen Ogledd, an experimental folk group primarily composed of Richard Dawson Rhodri Davies. Taken from a live performance in 2015, and featuring three additional musicians (Dawn Bothwell, Laura Cannell, and Jeff Henderson), the recordings here cover a ton of ground over their two sides. There’s electronics-augmented free imrpov , skronky jams, pounding noisy electronics, and sparse ballads. All of it’s cemented by an attention to detail to dynamics and texture and a really strong sense of synergy between the musicians. None of these musicians have a conventional approach to playing their instruments, and the way they come together on the album feels like an invitation to the listener to join them in the joy of _expression_ and discovery.
