Tommy Cash – Euroz Dollaz Yeniz (2014)
/Hip-hop, Rap, Sampledelic,
Urban music, Experimental-hop, Witch-hop/
Comment: Tommy Cash is
one of the most beloved and intriguing hip-hoppers/rappers from Estonia whose
debut album Euroz Dollaz Yeniz is replete with disparate hooks and gears but
anyway the 9-track issue`s core deviates from the ordinary hip-hop album due to
exploiting ominous witch house/drag house tectonic bass sequences and Death
Grips and Dälek influenced spaced-out delays and noisy echoes coming out of it.
On the other side, Tommy Cash`s chanting is coated with an exotic timbre and
accent which do embellish his buffoonish singing style which might seem a
little bit over the top at first glance. But please stay patient – you will get used to and at least you feel
it is a natural thing on its own. Additionally I recommend pick up another
Estonian hip-hop musician with similar aesthetic approach and range – rin la.
Enbilulugugal - The End Is Extremely Fucking Nigh (2014)
/Black metal, Noise, Brutal metal,
Doom noise, Hardcore punk, Leftfield, Noisecore/
Comment: I have always liked the coverprints of black metal, goregrind (and its subgenres) albums especially those ones of depicting dead livings and monsters. The recent one is impressive no exceptions – more concretely, the mutant comes out of a slot of the fallout shelter to apparently destroy slick politicians who arranged this bullshit. However, the most important issue related to the musical groups is their music. Enbilulugugal`s 9-track issue consists of brutal noise, doom, blackened metal and even some hardcore/crunk/noise punk woven sonic threads full of powerful energy, sweeping torrents of scream from the cancerous throat shred. On the other side, the artist`s aesthetics does not rely on chaotic improvised nexus but it seems to be thoroughly thought over to create more channelized and impressive attacks of sound. The album is finished off by The Bright Side, a cover version of the Poor Bastards` track with the same name. Especially recommended for listening before falling asleep. The issue is a part of the discography of a fabulous imprint, Torn Flesh Records.

Ergo Phizmiz - Some Folk Can (2014)
/Sound collage, Sampledelic,
Alternative rock, Dub, Electronic, Art rock, Plunderphonics, Experimental rock/
Comment: what else can be
expected from the plunderphonic/sound collage musician but interesting sound
slivers and startling mash-up intentions. Ergo Phizmiz`s 10-track album starts
off with pouring rock leaned riffs which later will be traded for different
kind of rhythms (from minimally designed to exuberant ones). At times the
concept is extended by dub drenched melodica ridden chords and shimmering
guitar playing which is a welcome variance with regard to the whole for sure.
It can be said Phizmiz pays partly tribute to dub influenced
post-punk/alternative rock music. In a word, this album seems to be wherein Phizmiz
turned into arty rock music faith (of course, it is a conditional statement
regarding his multi-faceted sonic frame). The album reminds me of some Dave
Keifer aka Cagey House`s compositions.
nonlips - A Collection Of Songs Recorded By The Flaming Lips (2011)
/Covers, Lo-fi, DIY,
Alternative pop, Indie pop, Psychedelic pop, Space pop/
Comment: Wayne Coyne curated combo is a lucky
one because of producing music what they wish themselves to create while the
albums are bought by thousands of people. The more time goes on the more
frantic their aesthetic approach seems to develop – they are an apparent avant-garde
combo within the major stream of pop music. There are up 17 covers with Lips`
songs reflecting upon Lips` psychedelic and space pop explorations and mellow
electronically tinged soft pop tendencies being so actual in recent production.
Furthermore, these artist represented on the miscellany add lo-fi and DIY
coloration to the pot. Let`s listen to it – it`s thought-provoking and chill.
It is a compilation where music is made by members of The Flaming Lips Message
Bored communities (2002-present).
