Comment:
Santosh is a Canadian Santosh Lalonde whose 18-notch outing reveals many facets
with his own idiosyncratic touch. First of all, it is subjugated to playful,
frenzy aesthetic algorithms where the definition of a genre is dismissed.
Indeed, all one could hear from there is somehow transgressive and keen to
destroy and extend beyond the stylistic boundaries. Although the issue is
excessive it is not redundant. Maybe the title of the release loans you an
additional hint. Let’s take some tracks to be analysed. Don’t Send Me To
Hell chimes like a macabre, desperate country song as if one being totally
drawn out of the context to a degree you cannot take it seriously anymore.
Fantastic is a downbeat punk funk composition, which is exaggeratedly cheerful
as if mocking about a contemporary human type, who is enslaved by political
correctness, loans and idiotic TV shows. On the other side, these monkeys are
enslaved by other monkeys having no different quality in fact. Morally they are
even more inferior. That’s the moral of the case. By listening to the next song
Funny People and all of that ultimately reminds of Lalonde`s compatriot Bruce
Haack whose electronic pioneering many decades ago was similarly frantic and
staggering and frequently transcended stylistic borders. At times it seems to
sound like funk or hip-hop or indie rock or music hall or comedy yet blurring
remarkably the borders of the aforementioned compartments that one startles to
say something definitive about it. In a word, the result is overwhelming and
needs to be listened many times before to get spotted on the artist`s precise core.
Highly recommended. The issue is a part of the catalogue of Vancouver-based
Peppermill Records.

Comment: Geysers is the one-man-project of Alexander
van der Linden whose 8-track issue is a dreamy indie and electronic blended
issue, which probably 15 years ago could have been labelled as a new sort of
dance music to be emerged. However, electronic music embraces an important part
within the nowadays indie artist's aesthetic therefore understanding of the
genre borders has been changed in the middle of music reviewers. The recent
issue involves synthesisers only with intriguing yet moody undercurrents
(catchy orchestrated swathes and rainbow-coloured carcasses). Furthermore, one
track is followed by the other ones without disruptions between them. In a way,
one does listen to one very long track as a party set. It is very likeable to
enjoy those soulful vocal hovers at top of all of that (for instance, at Borders,
and Kaleido Star). Let's dance because of having such a classy issue and
because Morrissey is having birthday today (Kevin Shields did have it
yesterday). Happy birthday! The issue is a mote of the excellent
Netherlands-based imprint 2419 Records. At the moment it's one of the most
important issues being released in 2016.

Comment: this is a cute issue, a sublime drift between
dreamy insights and a more buffoonish singing manner and some vocal trickery.
In a word, the French singer Ottilie used to rehash the chanson music tradition
in a modern appearance being accompanied by acoustic string instruments and
Parisian street accordions. As you can see I have had only a few words to describe this beautiful issue. However, it is very nice by any means. The issue is a part of the catalogue of
Acoustic Firework, and Jamendo.

Comment:
Slimm and his debut album Bobo is related neither
physically nor aesthetically to the Swiss producer DJ BoBo who got headlines
and was billed as a top tier within the Eurobeat/Eurodance scene in the 90 and 00s. In
fact, Slimm is Jacob Skogursson, an Icelandic musician whose 8-track issue has
been managed in the way to mingle found sounds,
ambient pop, New Age-y synthesizers and artsy indie
vibes and static post-rock frequencies with one another. First of all, it is
fairly delightful to enjoy the prevalent elemental, even idyllic touch within
the blend. On the other hand, all the sonic aspects are precisely surfaced as
if following an exact scheme in front of them. However, the scheme is
sophisticated enough the listener has no chance to get bored. That's all - now
it is your turn to listen to this relaxing outing.
