Horaflora SE Tour and New vinyls/cassette
Hi friends, fans, and foes! Yes, I subscribe some foes to my mailing list simply to irritate them! The rest of you may unsubscribe simply by replying with "unsubscribe" in the subject.
So, hope all is well with everyone, I'm writing to announce a short SE tour that I'll be starting on Sunday in Carrboro, NC and which will see me all the way through to Orlando, FL in 10 short days. Full tour schedule below!
Before getting to that, I'd like to take the opportunity to reflect on 2011, which was a great year for Horaflora; I went on a total of about a month of touring (not including upcoming) to some new places that I hadn't been to or played before (Seattle, Portland, Olympia, DC) and some spots that I hadn't been to since the bike tour of 2008 (Philly, Providence, Boston, and NYC).... In addition to all of that, I played 2 incredible festivals: Savage Weekend in Chapel Hill, and We Are Guest Talk Free, $10 in Boston!
Much of the touring was to celebrate and promote the several new releases of mine that came out this year: a split 7" record with Bromp Treb SoundSystem on Yeay! Tapes, a new cassette on Nefarious Activities that's so new I haven't sold a single one yet, and a very short (5min total) split cassette with Julia Mazawa on Ratskin Records.
I was hoping to be able to announce a new full length LP, my first non-split vinyl release, on Crazy Iris Records, and may have copies available on tour, but it's all up to the post office now! The new album is entitled "Craterellus Cornucopiodes" and features a slightly different mix of THIS net release on Install records, as well as a new studio work that mimics and reflects the A side but with completely different instrumentation and recording techniques, stay tuned for an official release announcement soon!

New 7" split!!!!
New 7" split with BrompTreb!
A: Horaflora - glibbertonne
B: BrompTreb - readinessmax
Both sides are rollicking, rolling, experiments in beat manipulation that compliment each other through a rhythmic wormhole that cannot be explained in words, and even the sound of said wormhole itself is quite difficult to grasp full hold of!
BrompTreb spins his reels of ragga-esque drum treachery through a broken meter bound in noise-tape lashings and a gruff patios calling for a true readiness on the part of all comers, dance on a wobble-leg of doubt and you'll surely fall to the fire!
Horaflora revs up the rolls for a twisting digital escapade, only to settle in for a tripping, lunging, lurch throughout the gearshift continuum that takes in auxiliary debris through the grill and sifts it into a fine mist and back out the trunk before a final cliffside donut sees him drift away down unknown lanes...
Fabulous sleeve designed by Sightlab that sees both artists rendered in a curious (player) piano-roll/IBM punchcard font that's been laser cut into the sleeve, offered sweet relief by individually selected pages of national geographic inserted behind the front cover and custom made rubber stamped release info:
Grip this From Horaflora or BrompTreb (west and east coast)

Some News
I'm headed out on a couple tours shortly, late April will see me touring with Pete Von Petrin up to Seattle, Olympia, and Portland, and then will be on the east coast in May to play the Savage Weekend Festival in Chapel Hill with about 30 other bands, and am currently attempting to fill out my May calendar with shows from NC up to Mass and all around there...
