Pneumatic Tubes

Jesse Chandler, the keyboardist and woodwinds player for Denton, Texas band Midlake and alt-rock mainstays Mercury Rev, also releases solo music as Pneumatic Tubes.  The artist dropped an album of dreamy indie rock last year featuring Slowdive's Rachel Goswell called "Sunfrost" that i totally dropped the ball on.  It's a lush and gorgeous piece of work, but feels like a far cry from the upcoming "A Letter from TreeTops" LP, set to release letter this month via Ghost Box.  The new album is a kaleidoscopic mix of psychedelia, kosmische, and library music that feels like like looking through old, faded Polaroids.  Both albums are worth your time.  Download "Sunfrost" here from the artist, and pre-order "A Letter from TreeTops" here.  In the meantime, go here to listen to a montage of tracks from the new record.
