Karl Ekdahl Feature on the Baltimore City Paper

The Baltimore City Paper has a great article on Karl Ekdahl and the Moisturizer. You might remember the Moisturizer from this post featuring video of the device. The following is just an excerpt from the BCP article, be sure to see it for more.

"'I want to present a box to people, and the knobs will have names on them that people have never seen before," he continues. "And not do that to be funny, but because those knobs have never existed before, so I had to make them up. And I think that's much more interesting, or much more challenging. Right now, there are a trillion and one pedal businesses out there, and they're all making another fuzz box. And that's not really interesting. Because there's so much out there. What I'm aiming to do, generally, is make new things, or things particularly broken or erroneous. I don't think the world needs another distortion box not from me anyway.'"

Updated Postcards Released

via the BugBrand mailing list:

"Hi all,

In the last bug-mail I mentioned that newly updated PostcardWeevils would be arriving shortly...
Well - they're now here!

Description & Shop
On the Blog

I am very happy with the update - the overall feel and appearance have been nicely improved.
Better dials - better line-output - better presentation -- but, of course, maintaining the same wondrous sonic world of the previous version!
The only slight down is that the price has also had to rise a bit due to improved parts and a slightly longer construction..

The first batch is available now - further batches are likely towards the end of August.
There are also just a couple more BoardWeevils currently available too - again, further batches sometime in August.

Cheers & best to all!
