Comment: if you feel yourself a bit dejected then the recent issue’s minimal nature might be suitable for you as a remedy. Not only this aspect is substantial with regard to the roughness of the outing. You could imagine a post apocalyptic vision, for instance, the moments after the mighty outburst of a super volcano wherein the lava is getting to harden slowly and all will be clearing and brightening around the immense epicentre. Undoubtedly it could be a wonderful glimpse. Indeed, there are up some hopes about the situation to be getting improved. The buildup of the issue supports all the aforementioned words because of being adeptly expressive. The first tracks of the debut album Ритуал (Ritual) by the Ukraine-based combo Вежа Хмар (Vezha Khmar/Veja Mar) draw solely on raw drones of low frequency as if it had been recorded with the assistance of a grimy cartridge. Later on, however, the situation is imbued with brighter sounds, for example, with vowel hovering and vibrato-laden droning. Furthermore, the more the issue is coming to its finishing point the more you can perceive exalting emptiness (or is it broadness?) oozing out from everywhere. I does not foretell us a new beginning at that point but the new beginning has already existed out the re for a while. Musically it is a drone album with vague hints at ambient/illbient and succumbed psychedelic music yet there somewhere around you could discern the ghosts of post-rock, post-folk and doom coming closer and then fading away at a time. In a word, the result is striking and impressionistic in its sublime roughness. This great issue was initally released on Mariupol-based imprint Bloodhead Production.

Comment: just breath in and be ready to start off listening to this 7-track issue though there is not much happening at all. It is based on shrill guitar twanging and intoning by a slacker musician called Chris Bading from Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. By mentioning his slacker side I meant only his aesthetical, primitive approach. Otherwise Chris Bading is highly prolific I guess you have no time to enumerate all his issues at Bandcamp, for instance. It could be said the recent whole chimes like being played as one homogeneous piece. However, having gotten many listening times behind I would compare it with some kind of acoustic session by an archetypical grunge man wherein the listener can discern more colours rather than just being a monochromatic flicker. At times his attitude is being more relaxed, at times being starkly desperate and emotionally strident. As we know very well the premise of one sort of art is to be spawn across the spiked way with tears, sweat, and pain. As a result of psychosis and the instability of a state of mind. In a word, it is a quintessential home recording example where the guitar and enterprising will are needed to demolish the prototypical blueprint of masculine man with guitar. Yeah, it reminds me of a sweet span of time in the end of the 00s when such artists started to appear to the limelight. The issue is a part of the discography of Eye Machine Recordings.
