Portland's Matt Carlson (Bonus, and sometimes Parenthetical Girls) and Jonathan Sielaff (Au) recently released a CD-R under the moniker Golden Retriever via Roots Strata. It's sold out.
Once you get past impeccable cover art, you've got five astral tracks made with synthesizers and bass clarinet. While Golden Retriever employs much more ambient/drone than say Sliver or Grasshopper, the project is in the same family of organic wind and brass instrumentals throwing a stick into the well-oiled spokes of genres that usually rely more on nob twiddling than valves or reeds.
