We have a brand new album out! It’s called DEATHLESS, by Small Craft. It’s ambient drone and the CDs selling fast, which is weird, because it’s ambient drone. Small Craft just played some shows in Seattle, Portland, Oakland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles in support of the album and will be playing shows around Washington, D.C. in the not-so-distant future.

Jeffrey Prosser
Jeffrey Prosser, a D.C. graphic designer and integral part of the Washington, D.C. experimental music scene as both musician and promoter, passed away on April 3, 2015. He was an exceedingly sweet and generous man with many friends across D.C.’s various music and arts scenes and beyond. Shortly after his death, two memorial concerts were organized in Adams Morgan and Fredericksburg, Virginia. Now, some of his musician friends have put together a compilation in his honor, titled Thirsty and Miserable, a phrase Jeffrey was particularly fond of.
The compilation features twenty-one artists (twenty-two for the downloadable version) who knew and loved Jeffrey, featuring both locals and musicians from farther afield. The artwork includes designs by Jeffrey, including art for flyers he designed to promote shows around the DC area. Proceeds from sales of the compilation go to Bread for the City, a charity selected by the Prosser family.
Jeffrey released a pretty amazing EP under the moniker Keep through Fuzzy Panda as well as an individual track the first Hydrophones compilation.

Small Craft – Monuments
This album should be played over headphones or large speakers, loudly, to enjoy fully the waves of feedback and reverb. It contains recordings of chainsaws, a woodchipper, the Ojibwe language, synthesizers (hardware, software, and iPhone), and piccolo bass.

Hydrophones
Hydrophones is our first compilation.
The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration Vents Program has made public a series of underwater recordings of whales, ships, unknown sounds, and even earthquakes. Using only those publicly available samples, Keep, Michael Hendley, and Beau Finley each created their tracks.
