Connexion Bizarre, one of the finest out-there electronic music hubs on the internet, has reviewed Thermometerometer’s debut record, Who measure’s the measurers?.
Click here for the review.
About Who measure’s the measurers? CB says, “Flips, clicks, drones, buzzes, pops and even glitches are thrown together and have things done to them that they could never have imagined in their wildest nightmares…” and “‘Who measures the measurers?’ retains far more accessibility to a general audience than most projects this avant-garde would manage to…”
Accessibility? Ok, if you say so!
This comes just in time to get the people ready for the latest and greatest T-MOM offering, to be released this month, Overcoming Adversity City. It will dagger your ears.

Watch this space! A new Thermometerometer joint, “Overcoming adversity city,” will be dropping from the back real soon. Delayed because Dan broke his foot in a pot-hole and needed to focus on trip-hop for a while, Thermometerometer is now in the final stages of the process which results in your having brand new electro-spew to cram in your ear-holes. “Overcoming adversity city” has the hot tracks! It has the hot beats & wrecked bass noise! It is swaggering! Famous people who have heard it already say it could very well be the newest Thermometerometer record ever! GET READY.

I had the gentlemen from Thermometerometer out to my mansion in the Hamptons over Memorial Day Weekend so I could executive-produce one of their battery-powered outdoor jams.
Dan arrived armed with a contact mic’d football to throw in the ocean & a laptop full of mad FX to process the signal. David carted a supernaturally powerful Orange speaker, a strange oscillator from Britain & a delay pedal which allowed him to manipulate the fabric of time itself.
Gale force winds buffeted us at the ocean’s edge & the football refused to stay tethered in the breakers. Meanwhile, the contact mic was picking up more hurricane-whipped sand than ocean. Undaunted by the adverse conditions of the experiment, Thermometerometer recorded until the battery in the laptop died. I present you the audio document of this experiment not because of its perfection, but because it’s interesting to hear what can happen when two weirdos with a handful of electronic instruments try to wrangle the elements into some form resembling ‘music.’
The next day the wind continued & instead of making another attempt at recording the ocean, I had T-MOM set up in my little sister’s bedroom. Inspired by the spirit of Lil’ Miss Tibs, they recorded two truly sick bedroom jams. It quickly became apparent that bedroom jams had become droom jams, doom jams & finally Dume Jams. Keep an eye on this page for those massive tracks – I plan to release them as part of a Thermometerometer E.P. in the very near future.

We’ll be celebrating the launch of Immigrant Breast Nest and the release of our first 6 releases with a sweet FREE show on Saturday, April 4 at Coco66 in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Yeah! It’s going to be amazing, with sets from IBN artists Speak Onion and David B. Applegate (Magical Penis Thief and Headless Nameless). We’ll also have CDs available of Thermometerometer’s Who measures the measurers (IBN001) and Speak Onion’s Metabolor (IBN002).
We’re incredibly lucky and happy to be joined by great friends, Xrin Arms and Rokhausen. The night will be full of truly incredible sets, so definitely try to come out. Check out the flyer for the details. See you all there!
Amid clouds of sawdust, Thermometerometer recorded these four tracks live in a Queens, NY furniture factory. Inspired by the skeletal rows of unfinished furniture & the constant urban clatter pouring in from the street, T-MOM explores a more experimental zone: dust-covered squelches & throbs, drones & screams resonating throughout the immense space. Thermometerometer captures the life of the factory and lays it at your feet.

Thermometerometer gets shapes. All kinds of shapes. Immigrant Breast Nest brings their first release, Who measures the measurers, to you, all full up with the kind of shapes that make you scratch your head or do a dance. If you looked at it through a giant microscope, you would see some doom shapes and get a disease! Drones, bonks, throbs, flips, slaps, and screams propel this record onward, or sometimes backwards. Along the way, Thermometerometer poke and prod inside some sounds looking for the next noise or beat that will fit into their messy basket. They are building one thing out of another thing. From the driving hard rhythms of Centrifuge Party to the abstract noise of Trapezoid at best and the drone screams of Dunejam, T-MOM are tossing out some weird junk for your ears.
