Sunburned Hand of the Man - Three Lobed/WXDU Day Show, Hopscotch Music Festival, King's, Raleigh, NC (2014)
/New Weird America, Live
session, Drone rock, Krautrock, Space rock, Avant-rock, Psychedelic rock,
Experimental rock, Improvised music/
Comment: it is a great,
27-minute live session by the cult Massachusetts combo Sunburned Hand of the
Man whose music reflects upon the interplay between noise and silence, between
“natural” instrumentation and processed electronic sounds. It is a perfect sort
of relaxation music due to outstretched droning, spaced-out guitar drenched
trajectories, motorik rhythm engines and delayed crescendos and resigned
incantations made up by Greta Svalberg. The result is a spellbinding trip
through sonic magic. In addition to it I recommend listen to the likes of
Vibracathedral Orchestra, Natural Snow Buildings, Ashtray Navigations, Kemialliset Ystävät, and Children Of The Drone.
LFC & FCao – In Memorian (2012)
/Experimental rock,
Improvised music, Dada music, Doom rock, Psychedelic, Noise rock, Avant-rock,
Blues, Space rock/
Comment: these 24 minute
minutes are saturated with blues drenched carcasses which in turn are
embellished with knee-deep psychedelic organ solos and heavily down-tuned or
tortured vocals (it is actually moaning on its own if to express it straightforwardly)
and bold bass gears. On the other side, it can be considered a kind of jazz
music played with the instrumentation of other styles. Thirdly, all this
out-of-pop stuff spawned over there is obviously inspired by a provocative, dadaist
weltanschauung. The project comes out of Brazil being a part of the asschoes
blogspot (unfortunately it does not function anymore with the loss of many download links ). Superb shit indeed.
Ayane Fukumi - High-Octane Dancecore (2014)
/Mash-up, Breakcore,
Sampledelic, Plunderphonics, Remixes/
Comment: 18-year old Ayane
Fukumi`s 22-track issue embraces mostly original tracks and some remixes and covers.
Fukumi used to remix such juggernauts as Ludwig Van Beethoven, and Pink Floyd.
However, by its approach the artist outlet reminds of a superficial and bulimic
mash-up issue replete with a vast amount of dodges, well-known artist`s samples
and trashy noises and “accidental” ding-dongs. The release is a part of the
discography of Underground Core Collective, a relatively new record label from
California, USA which appeared in 2014 for the first time.
The Easton Ellises – NightWavs (2014)
/Dance rock, Post-punk, Alternative
dance, Electro-indie, Punk funk, Synth rock, Alternative pop/
Comment: The Easton
Ellises is a Montrèal, Canada based duo of Alexandre Dionne (previously known
as Stereomovers), and Simon Roy who have gained popularity with such issues as EP One, Black Love (single), and Dance
It, Dance All, and EP Two. (mostly related to a Portugese record label, enoughrecords). Their
music is an inseparable blend of electronic pop, synth pop, post-punk, post-disco,
and alternative pop, though in general Dionne-Roy`s sound could be added to the
compartment of the so-called post-punk revival music because most of the movement`s
related bands used to blend exalted bubble gum-alike beats with catchy guitar
hooks and emphatically arrogant singing. The recent issue comprises 4 tracks
all of them reveal that arguments about the death of suggestive melodies and
rhythms regarding the nowadays musical groups are just vain attempts. Because of having those elements represented throughout the issue their temporary bombasting approach turns into something appealing. Indeed, I do not
bear any arguments against their aesthetics. It is pure enjoyment ready to
penetrate into your inner world.
