Apskaft Presents: Rolling Stone 500 (2010)



9.0

/Conceptual, Weird pop, Alternative, Avant-garde, Noise, Covers, DIY, Lo-fi/

Comment: this set of 12 tracks is connected to some titles of the Rolling Stone magazine`s choice of the 500 greatest pop songs ever. Behind these cover versions are musical groups and artists related to the avant-garde collective Apskaft. The course veers away from decent alternative pop numbers to more nihilistic lo-fi and noise approaches. Very exciting indeed. The label`s other compilations are worth to be recommended for either.
