Gilles Aubry & Tomoko Sauvage - Apam Napat


Improvisation over dragging waters.Hell yeah.

Bastard Noise - Skulldozer



Man Is The Bastard Noise would be a more appropriate name for this release concerning early power violence elements with noise preludes and harsh vocals.Well,you should not consider a back to the basics noise turn but closer to Rogue Astronaut (yep,female vocals are back).In the other hand,the power violence core is the same you smelled last time in a Gilman gig.

The Skull is back.For good.



30.11.11

Metalux - Fluorescent Towers


Charming bits of synth propaganda for children combined with deranged creativeness.For children and mosquitoes.Keep adults and domestic animals away.

Oldschool towers.Fluorescent Towers.



Jonathan Ulliel Saldanha - The Earth As A Floating Egg


 


Auto-applausing,ethereal mash up of glorious moments with neoclassical twist.Or just informative electronica,or smashing midi sounds.Whatever.

Carefull with that Egg .

Hunting Rituals - Junkyard Hymns



Supersonicabstractpsychedelicnoise.

Junk

Good Stuff House - Endless Bummer


Mike Weiss and Matt Christensen hired the ex guitarist of Souled America,Scott Tuma in order perform an endless haunting ritual full of droning reverb jazz tones and broken piano sections.

It's NOT a bummer .



29.11.11

Bones Of Seabirds - Sacrament






I always trust releases from Small Doses.This time is a liitle bit different synth work with fuzzing drones and marvelous mellow ambient contrast ranging from ultra dark to shinny happy noise scapes.November is the month,Ryan McGill is the man.

Lay your hands and reach for the Sacrament .

1.11.11

Moods - The Sanctuary In You






Pick your meditation cassette.Move people .

Monks of the Balhill - Lost and Hide Side






Colourfull sax,dusty guitars and infinite synths collaborate with a glimpse of jazz tension to make pillow fights looking like fian gasps of air during prenight sessions.
You have to hit the replay button some more times to feel their mighty innocence.

Look for your Lost and Hide here .

31.10.11

Tree Of Life OST


A script that Thomas Hobbes would write at the time he turned into atheism and a score that shows how easily Claude Ballif influences can transform to a mainstream musical journey.

Perhaps many of you will find your sincere melodies.Here .

The Opera Glove Sinks In The Sea






Opera,sea,theremin,violin,scripted poems and a chubby lady.Looks like you found your perfect  afternoon fantasy straight from the midclass neighbourhood gutters.

Despite the first impression,miss Merner escapes from her pleasantville character and creates droning atmospheres with a spun of wicked childish mystic.She manages to gather all of her dentist room fears and explode meaningfull ambient figures you would not have the courage to imagine.

Sink


25.10.11

Empirical Sleeping Consort - I've Got Tears In My Ears From Lying On My Back Catatoning Over You,Dear.





Well,there is something much powerfull than black.And this time is all about grey.
Annotations causing industrial nighmares motivating quirky drones.Sleeping process with additional uncommon stress and punding eyelids are the main ingredients.

Choose your favourite cup,pour your grey matter and lay on my back.





24.10.11

Hanging Coffins - The Black Plague in Mono No.2





Somewhere between trash can punk and cheap organ music,Hanging Coffins are lauphing their lungs out with post reverb technics and semi macabre music.Floating psychedelic sounds,comprehensive agressiveness dealing with vocals from the deep.Underwater fun for sure.

 Filtering hope with Black Plague.


25.9.11

Franck Vigroux & Matthew Bourne - Call me Madame (Good News From Wonderland)


Range from field recording to post punk cuts,glitch glimpses and jazz orientations,this duo's complex self-esteem guides to a whole new level of experimental epicness.

From point A to point ihavenoidea execution,sharp production and some vintage electronic nostalgia,their vinyl cuts will please your Madam .

23.9.11

Burning Witch






Nothing much to say about the mighty Witch.Formed after the break up of Thorr's Hammer,they managed to brought up to the fold something disturbingly unique.
Putting their metal character aside,they combined sludge,doom and black aesthetics through their mystic lyrics.As a result metal fans didn't appreciate,only crust punks were thrilled at their gigs.
No,you can't bang your head or raise your crippled horns up.You can't sing along or whisper with flat out smiles.You are witnessing some nihilistic beautiful and you are thankfull.

One of their limited shows was recorded in Seattle 6/4/96 and with a pack of demo versions you can find it here.



18.9.11

Composition Of The Sensibilities Of Melted Knowledge






It's really unpredictable what James Ferraro will attempt next.Especially on this tape.As far concerning of the genre known as skaters related,the family of Composition of the Sensibilities of Melted Knowledge drives the meaning of psychedelic drone to a whole new level.

A great collage of lo-fi dark drones combined with unaware pauses and psychedelia snors haunting vocal-like sounds.Exotic guitar parts,full of reverse fun.Pure fan .

12.9.11

Snow Lark on the Temple Mt. Doom






With true persistance to gloomy atmosphere and ghostly-like precision,Stéphane Rohner and Alison Scarpulla captured undertone fears and present their version of dark psychedelia.
The Guardian and The Moon.

Cardboard Sax - Non Tech In The Pleasure Dome






Lo-fi production,hideous electronics and out of control saxophones created by members of Uneven Universe,Body Morph and Wolf Eyes.
Let the Pleasure Dome flow.

Andorkappen






Describling himself as a solo inhuman voice project,Andorkappen uses mainly his vocal chords and some of his twisted sense of humour.Walls of power electronics combined with harsh improvisation defy a painfull but at least enjoyable ride.
Wait for the Brutal Knights .

8.9.11

Lietterschpich - I Cum Blood In The Think Tank


8 membered noise-post punk-dub ensemble,not for the faint hearted.Delivering Throbbing Gristle and Merzbow textures with shrieked vocals by the time crushing drumming prepares you for innapropriate fun.Enter the Think Tank and watch their documented stuff .

7.9.11

Niggas With Guitars - Ethnic Frenzy







Maybe the first use of the "n" word with charm.In the vein of analcunt humour but with great range of alien invasion sounds,these guys make most of the synthbased psychedelia projects look like white trash.
The perfect soundtrack for lusting dreams with a touch of giallo drones.Feeling frenzy alright?

Eric La Casa - Maison.House II.V


Jean-Luc Guionnet accepted the La Casa invitation,brought his saxophone and made some tea.And some great improvisation.Step right in Maison.House II.V .

En Echo


Thank you mr.Manoury.

Prehistoric Blackout


One thing for sure,Taylor Richardson adores his synths.And tapes.If you are ready for dreadfull psychedelic drones and dreamy soundscapes,don't hesitate and Wake Up Dead .

6.9.11

Geeshie Wiley






Delta blues and primal gospel have been brought to mainstream attention due to Mr.Lomax and some bald guy's samples.Geeshie Wiley would never make it that far.Macabre themes combined with vocal discomfort are organising a morbid blues standoff.Only six tracks have been recorded before her final dissapearence.So,drag your love and make a statement "I'm gonna cut your throat baby. I'll look down in your face".

Cut.




Blowhole - Guerilla Jazz


The notorious Blowhole managed to fill the gaps between noise rock,free jazz and lofi garage.Energetic and complex,fast paced guerilla action without remorse.
Beware.

5.9.11

Spine Scavenger






Packet full off analog synths and modular sounds,Aaron Dilloway never stops to amaze me.Nothing common with his previous work on Wolf Eyes or even his solo effort,he redefines the meaning of ambient noise.

Meet his Pigs and Weighted Ghosts.Akuma is the key.

Stefan Kushima





Great duties on psychedelic chaos and ambient compassion.A true gentleman,Stefan Kushima provides over the top guitar driven noise greatness without denying his lo-fi amusement.
Touch .



Pig Heart Transplant - Hope You Enjoy Heaven


Hate dragged bliss and no leftovers for Jon Kortland.His creation craves the likes of Bastard Noise,Halo and Swans.Trust him.

3.9.11

FCKN'BSTRDS - Κut Lul


It could be nihilistic punk but no.Mutant noise factors crushed to elementary school's aesthetics.Make your coffee without worrying about stains.You can can curse now.

1.9.11

Upsidedown Cross


Formed for pure fan,consisting of members with experience from Dinosaur.Jr,Anal Cunt and KILSLUG,Upsidedown Cross managed to create something between sleazy psychedelia and sloppy(very sloppy) sludge.Highlight,the whining,cranky vocals from Larry Lifeless.


Come on,put your emm photobombing face on and experience the visual and the audio

Black Mass Of Absu - Looting The Tomb Of Aramathean


Grime black noise delivered from Mr. Ski Mask,known for his duties with Ostomy.If you are sick of unholy kalt pandas,here you are.

Asva - Presences Of Absences


Nothing like the previous releases but in a good way.Forget terms like "droneheavywickedshit".This time is all about organ.And bass.And organ again.
Ethereal melodies and hollow vocals coming from the bright side of What You Don't Know Is Frontier combined with minimal riffage,deliver subconscious addiction to bird flacks.
Wings found .

Jellowaste


“I was sick of bad music being disguised as good music, like in bands like Cradle of Filth. So I made good music disguised as bad music”

You heard the man.Inject the demo .

Pina Bausch ost






Slide your chairs,fight with water,reform your hug and spot the exit.Follow the instructions .

31.8.11

The Cherry Point & Andorkappen live @ L.A


Night lens,short skirts,what a boogie night.

Chen Santa Maria live @ Montclair






Extra terrestrial oscillating noise.Forget bicycle runs over cop cars and listen here .

Krupskaya - CloudsOverPripyat


Never a fan of gender mixtures but these guys deliver some really exceptional powerviolence stuff .

moshing buttons,yes.


Girly night,dancing night.And some spoken words .
