Dead Drums - "Machu" + NOVO

Caleb Moore, also of Lands and Peoples, recently sent me over a new track from his ambient pop project Dead Drums. This quick new jaunt is called "Machu".



"Machu" finds Dead Drums exploring a more beat-based path, but not without the youthful exuberance and blissful sonics found in his more hazy soundscapes. Speaking of, Bathetic still has a limited number of Fashion Defense/Human Hair, get it here.



Caleb plays Saturday night at Windup Space, as part of the always amazing NOVO Instrumental Festival. Look for recordings of this show and more to surface here too.

NOVO Instrumental Music Festival

A new musical festival in Baltimore gets going today, and continues to run throughout the rest of the week. The NOVO Instrumental Music Festival will take place at the Windup Space.

The festival will be a five night event, each paying tribute to local music of the word-less variety. Each show will run you five bucks, with the exception of tonight's show which is free. A fifteen dollar pass is available that will grant you access to all five nights.

The lineup is worth noting throughout the week, but the standout night has to be Friday with Jason Urick, Microkingdom, and Notendo rounding out the bill.

Get the full schedule and each night's lineup after the jump.
