Comment: B. Toriyama embarks on this 4-notch outing with wobbly synthesised chords and atmospheric layers in the vein of dub music. In truth, later the distinctive categorization will get a bit watered down by using also techno and downtempo reliefs, however, the spaced-out layer continues to emit through the other stylistic appearances. At Cloud the artist comes back to a deeply soaring inner space by interweaving dub and techno and even near house knots into a 9-minute apparition as if depicting a phantasmagorical plateau at the bottom of the ocean. Yeah, it is deep and minimal. The same can be admitted about Sauce which in truth is a bit more vivid and flaring due to those hypnotically loopy synth fadeouts. Yeah, the listener can imagine slowly swimming monstrous creatures coming out from the shipwrecks. All in all, it is an example of music for your dormant fantasies by allowing you a fantastic space engine for to travel to places of which you could never reach physically. For only thanks to the art one can cross his/her mundane and mortal borders. Music is obviously the fastest way to do it. Here it is. The solid issue is a part of the discography of basic_sounds.

Comment: this set of 23 tracks might be considered an instance of excessive luxury today because it could be a content for three albums at least. Musically it embodies the mighty hydra whom two new heads had grew after one was chopped off by the legend. In the recent audible case, the more you listen to it the bigger the audible snowball is growing for the listener. Psychedelic and surrealistic texts being inspired by the beatniks are supported by different kind of stuff, from frantic rhythmic configurations and trebly decelerated trip-hop (if it can be embedded in the term anymore) to eerie, film noir-esque samples and smouldering sonic effects to massive and rough guitar riffs. Lots of oldie music templates get involved in that and thereby it abandons its temporal lines. By shifting swiftly between different eras it will provide the immunity against possible Zeitgeist related platitudes and commonplaces. Are you tracking me? Are you tracking me? By its method and timbre and attitude in general there can be drawn parallels upon the likes of The Fucked Up Beat, and The Caretaker. Additionally to English you can hear storytelling in French, and in Italian. This is a kind of tribute to Crammed discs` serie Made to Measure. The mind-provoking umbrella – consisting of such projects as Gestalt OrchestrA, Parrhesia Sound System, Chromatic, Ubuntu Sound Antisystem, and Wild Worm Web – is located in Montrèal, Quebec, Canada, one of the main centres within the innovative music scene worldwide. The issue is a part of the discography of Le Colibri Nècrophile.

The Late Virginia Summer – Sundowning (2007)



  • Lo-fi 
  • Indie 
  • Cowbell indie 
  • Post-rock 
  • Field recording 
  • Musique concrète
  • Crossover

Comment: soon RMH will celebrate the 10th year anniversary. When I started in January 2009 the first comment was made about Leafes' In The Mountain's Belly being issued on Swedish imprint Redstarcommunity. The Late Virginia Summer's 11-notch outing comes out of the same label and it is also a lovely lo-fi case, however, in the vein of indie and post-rock mixed case. I would like to call such sort of music cowbell indie because you hear glockenspiel chords in the middle of the lightly churning guitars. At times it is variegated with sounds coming out from the nature - from a meadow, from a forest, at times the course is a bit changed by adding droning sequences and lofty orchestrations and a little electronics to the mix. A positive point of the release is due to no sterile production. As it was mentioned above it is a lo-fi apparition. In a nutshell, get it, enjoy it.
