The Moscow Coup Attempt – Recidivism

Top marks for best band name in this entire issue of RC! But what about the music? The pseudonym of LA composer David Whitacre, TMCA deliver über-chilled gothic-tinged ambience. Dark and eerie and very intriguing. If you want to try before you buy you’ll find a free MP3 download of a track called Sprout and the Bean on the official website. The album, meanwhile, collects B-sides and remixes and is the follow-up to 2005’s The Failure of Shortwave Radio. It’s download-only and is available at iTunes and most other online stores.

Corrections:
The name is Derek Whitacre.
"Recidivism" is remixes and b-sides from "The Failure of Shortwave Radio"(2005) and "Insomnia"(2006).
The album cover pictured is from "Insomnia" and not "Recidivism."
