Comment:
approximately 10 years ago I discovered such projects as The Hirundu,
Clinker, fydhws, Joxfield ProjeX, Keshco, Two Lane Phonebooth, Tinyfolk, Hox
Vox, Enrique Ramirez, SFIAS, iron like nylon and many many other DIY
and lo-fi combos through lastfm of which template then was fairly
satisfying because you could follow your own radio stations being
created by the music you had enjoyed before and a particular search
for music by following the tags. Furthermore, you could add tags to
music you had been listening to and there were up fan groups for
different styles, movements and combos. London, the UK-based Clinker
(Reg Verney Trio, and Opera Dog are/were related projects by the
membership) is a partnership between the Peter Jordan aka Pete Da
Clinker (some of the issues are released under this moniker) and
Tomoko Matsumoto whose music is an embedment of a wide scope of indie
music, not particularly based on the whole thread of albums they have
issued by themselves so far but also on albums as well. 16-track yet
40-minute only brand new one
Dr Goon Phase is a good example
of it veering away from psychedelic pop sensations and
hypnagogic/dreamwave dodges (
The Box Is Open, the favourite of
mine comes out from these hazy pigeonholes) to doo wop voice centred
ditties to more kraut-induced more or less electronic propulsions and
even free jazz-y (at
We Can`t Know, Know More), and exquisite
bongo drum propelled chants (
Lion in Wait). In truth, they do
away with more (guitar) noise-intoxicated numbers though it may be
disputable at
Done By Three. At least it is an artsy and
gentle krautrock-infused noise pop example. In a nutshell, the outing
is a fairly one though the favourite of mine remains still
Good
Trip, Bad Trip (2011), a fascinating blend of space rock, art
rock, and krautrock.
