Comment: by analysing this handful of tracks while watching the cover print of this of depicting the lamp of a nightstand it can be said in that situation you can see many minutiae being otherwise hidden for us. Is there anything being hidden to our ears? Indeed, the outing needs more listening times allowing us to understand it to be a bit more than just a techno album. Indeed, it involves iterative rhythms and enchanting loops to introduce more experimental and abstract segments into it. One can even hear corrosive debris and metallic faintness looping atop and beneath. Furthermore, it is a fine example of how machine-induced applications and more organic sonic details are seamlessly mixed up with each other. In fact, the latter element is subjugated to the first one. The result is a part of the discography of EverythingIsChemical.

EverythingIsChemical

• Experimental electronica
• Electro-acoustic 
• Post-classical 
• Chamber music 
• Improvised music 
• Alternative 
• Glitchtronica 
• Avant-garde 
• Art music 
• Experimentalism

Comment: this handful of compositions is a consistent blend of rough electro-acoustic, rugged chamber music, and more sublime ambient and volatile electronic progressions. Musically it is intriguing to listen to it because electronic music is seamlessly mixed up with sounds of natural instruments. For charlatans I guess it would be a good fare to describe their view of outer space through the aforementioned elements, of how masculine and feminine genuine/primal matter will meet each other, of how energy will have been lead in a proper way. They might be right, by the way. You can not wave off odds and ends within it because it is the main ingredient to lift the whole up to the next level. A Smashed Up World is the final issue on it and being the right choice for it. The composition will expand epically due to fine-grained glitches and the dense orchestrated drone which is going upwards again and again. The outing is a mote in the discography of EverythingIsChemical.

Toothless - EICV7" No. 108 (2015)

EverythingIsChemical

Bandcamp

Mediafire

/Experimental pop, Indietronica, Leftfield pop, Post-pop, Art pop, Post-rock/

Comment: this 3-track issue consists of dreamy female vocal deliveries, crunchy glitched-out bugs in the middle of mid-range rhythms, and pitched-up and down sonic segments, and psychedelically swirling sonic effects and slightly mystical synth meandering over the scope, however, constituting the organic whole altogether. First of all, if to compare Toothless with someone then the project`s music used to have some similarities with such sophisticated, avant-pop artists as Stereolab, Flunk, Pram, and Broadcast (especially its aesthetic reminds of the last named project). Hopefully such sort of music will be awarded in the mainstream charts sometime in the future. On the other side, maybe it is paradox that something which could be tagged as “ideal pop” will never reach this honour because it used to be ahead of its time and current people`s tastes. Let`s see – until then you can enjoy this bunch of excellent compositions.

9.3

/Chillwave, Shoegazetronica, Post-pop, Alternative pop, Glo-fi, Dream pop, Experimental indie/ 
  
Comment: in fact, this musical project deserves its name with regard to highly blessed-out soundscapes, more concretely, having relevance on angelic vocal lines and delay-sustained guitar chords and steady rhythmic sequences, however resulting in magic stardust. Stylistically it drifts somewhere in between electronic shoegaze, and chillwave-y tunes. You can call it "post-pop" provided that I can`t see what would be the next thing after that. Great listening by any means. This 2-piece issue is released on Everything Is Chemical, an singles delivering imprint.

Derek Piotr - Virtual 7" No. 25 (2012)

9.2

/Experimental electronica, Noise, Avant-electronica, Abstract electronica, Experimentalism, Avant-garde/

Comment: Derek Piotr is a sound artist/experimentator from Poland (who has been residing in New England for a while) whose teacher has been Meredith Monk, for instance. His 4-track issue is an amalgamation of distorted and warped sounds where bass-heavy rhythms, susurrous noises, sublime vocal-based effects, and incisive, repetitive electronic aspects are seamlessly merged with each other.

Sally Paradise - Virtual 7" No. 8 (2011)

EverythingIsChemical

9.0

/Chillwave, Glo-fi, Shoegaze, Avant-pop, Experimental pop, DIY, Lo-fi, Electronic/

Comment: Montrèal is not only the birthplace of ice hockey and home city for Canadiens but also a cultural and musical metropolis for the rest of the world which has offered a loads of musical collectives like Bran Van 3000, Arcade Fire, Tim Hecker, Muhr, Gino Soccio, Akufen, Martin Tetreault, GY!BE (and its subsidiaries) etc. No doubt, Montrèal does have the potent lo-fi/DIY scene nowadays (listen to Hobo Cult`s compilations, for instance) and Sally Paradise is one of those discerning butterflies from there. Here are represented three tracks, which used to extend from bombastic chillwave superflight to lo-fi experimental pop and bubbling dada-near avant-pop. The first track Robert Smith On The Beach pays tribute to the Cure by name (as Robert Smith used to esteem MBV`s Loveless) ringing out like a spoiled yet majestic shoegaze instance. By the way, SP released a new album, called Aouu! at Bandcamp.
