When we put out the "Broken Pieces" comp last month, one of the most common questions we got in response was "who is this Rock Hyrax guy and where can i get more of his shit?"  Well, folks...ask and ye shall receive!  It's a few weeks later than usual, but here we have this awesome 7-track EP from New York's Nate Dorr a.k.a. Mercurial a.k.a. Rock Hyrax called "Dissolute Lichens".  This record blends complex micro-glitch beat work with a tapestry of samples, field recordings and wandering melodies into a unique sound that reveals more layers with every listen.  Been bumping this for the last week and it's really solid stuff, so check it out and let us know what you think!

Listen to "Sickbot" and "Emergency" from the Gravity Halo "Broken Pieces" compilation after the break:

Well friends, we're 8 months into this Gravity Halo undertaking and so far, so good.  We're steadily gaining readership, hits and most importantly, we're putting out a TON of great music by some really talented artists and giving them a platform for their music to spread across the globe.  Now that's not to say that we've reached our goals or even a comfortable resting place because there's lots more room to grow, but it is a great time to put together a release that sums up what Gravity Halo is all about.  Thus, we present to you our first compilation/mixtape - "Broken Pieces".  These 14 tracks run the spectrum, from awkward's ambient noisescapes to Acidburp's lush, progressive breakcore to Mumkai's neck snapping beats to Sendy's epic sound adventures and Rock Hyrax's intricate micro-glitch - the styles vary drastically, but the connecting threads are clear.  These are all incredibly skilled independent artists that are driven by their love of making tunes and that's apparent in every second of this record.  

Enjoy the release, spread it around, repost, reblog, re-fuckin-tweet, tell some dude on the street...let's do this, people!
