Comment: in
fact, indie compilations may be boring and dull but it cannot be
assumed about French imprint Beko DSL and especially about this
18-notch outing. There are up such artists as Tan Dollar, Ender
Belongs To Me, Ela Orleans, Colours, Black Vatican, William Cody
Watson, Happy New Year, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Jani/Jussi,
Collatone, Krusht, To The Happy New, The KVB, Michael Parallax. There
is represented a smorgasbord of sounds and styles and an immense
amount of crossovers between them. At times more straightforward and
noisy, at times more languid and dreamy. At times more electronically
employed, sometimes more guitars brought to the focus, at times more
vowel effects brought forth thereby echoing back to the golden days
of a new wave of the New Weird movement in the 00s. Yet there are up
a couple of brilliants over there – Happy New Year's hypnagogic
cover of Iggy Pop's
The Endless Sea, and Ela Orleans 's
Beat
Goes On (live at Budokan) which strives to be successfully
gravity-free. In a word, get immersed in an idea of indie music of
how it would have perpetuated in the beginning of the 10s.
