Aye Me, Moore Heart New Transcription (A Warren Defever Mixtape)

Though Warren Defever remains permanently busy with His Name Is Alive and mastering work, he’s also been on a tear with Ian Masters of Pale Saints under their long running ESP Summer banner. Last year saw the official release of Kingdom Of Heaven, a work built on a reimagined cover of the 13th Floor Elevator song of the same name via the Disciples label. Alongside that came the Remain Alone cassette and zine comp, featuring Defever and Masters alongside other Disciples artists covering more 13th Floor Elevators tunes, and Even The Cracked Let In Some Light, an experimental mix by Nick Davidson (Magic Roundabout) featuring music by the duo.

And even still, Defever found time to drop this ecstatic and incantatory humdinger off at AD’s digital doorstep. Aye Me, Moore Heart New Transcription, a mix which spans the globe and time, folding together ancient gospel, blues, gamelan, and more. Tracklist and more info below.
