Gamardah Fungus – Night Walk With Me (2013)




/Drone, Space rock, Post-rock, Epic, Dark ambient, Experimental rock, Improvised music, Avant-rock/

Comment: Gamardah Fungus is a musical project from Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine whose 5-track issue is a spellbinding example of how to explore inner and outer space per excellence. Musically and sonically it embraces loads of aspects which in turn will constitute new elements and crossovers for the listener`s privilege. At times it sounds as if the wall of sound were invented by Jimi Hendrix because of those nervous guitar riffs represented there are tightly coated with spaced-out milieu and sublime noises. Furthermore, space rock explorations will meet with jazz-y woodwind pipe improvisations thereby exemplifying the feeling of how the extension of outer space would have had its trace and pace (arguably having it so far). At times guitar drenched improvisations and extensions (due to rich usage of delays and reverberations) are embellished with discontinued concrete sounds and spoken word whiffs thus amplifying mysterious feel on it. Subsequently I can assume the result is transcendental and beyond time. By kindred souls I recommend listen to such artists as fydhws, Tont, Tore Elgaroy, and Glenn Branca. The issue is a part of Hidden Vibes, an excellent Ukraine imprint dedicated to issue post-rock, modern classical and ambient music.

A Veil Of Water - Reminder (2013)





8.8

/Classical music, Post-rock, Crossover, Modern classical, Piano music/ 

Comment: the Norwegian A Veil Of Water`s soundscape is composed of piano-tapped chords just following to each other in the mode of changing keys and moods (at times being doleful, at times providing more speedy and a little jollier spans). These 13 pieces constitute soothing feelings getting traction to epic, ascending post-rock overdrives and even outbursts now and then. The ending track Ad Infinitum is the welcome exception regarding the whole on the strength of a suggestive motif of the orchestrated bleed which is a little itchy within the epic concept.

So I`m An Islander - Woodwork (2012)




9.1

/New Weird Denmark, Chamber folk, Folk indie, Experimental folk, Weird folk, Indie folk, Dream folk, Modern classical, Mood music, Neoclassical/

Comment: this one-man-project hails from Aarhus, Denmark being the nom de plume for Søren Nissen Jørgensen, who originally comes out of the small town of Augustenborg located on the island of Als, Denmark. A more curious fact is that Jørgensen`s some song titles are written in Southern Jutlandic, a dialect of Danish. Jørgensen`s debut album consists of 14 pieces which will ultimately be ended up at 51.50. Consequently it does mean there should be enough room to progress and extend through ghostly but thoughtful piano chords and either sparkly indie folk or halcyon orchestrations gliding across blissed-out,
gravitation-free meadows to slightly luminous points far away. More generally, the album can be considered an example of organic drift between chamber and dream (boreal) folk tendencies, (modern) classical templates and neoclassical ripples. Frequently his audible (and imaginable) aesthetics reminds of Oskar Hallbert, an eremite living in the woods of Sweden. The album contains an array of teasers. In a word, Jørgensen is a country boy being faithful yet slightly modifying and interpreting his roots.

Linear Bells - Le Cavalier Bleu (2012)



9.4

/Dystopbient, Ambient drone, Minimalism, Experimentalism, Avant-garde, Soundscapes/ 

Comment: this set of 3 long-running compositions is produced by David Teboul aka Linear Bells from Naoned (Nantes), Brittany, (the territory which has been culturally and ethnically occupied and oppressed by France over many generations) whose album An Island (issued on the Swedish tape label Zeon Light) is being one of the top notches in 2012. However, this time he turned over 180 degrees to take more on discrete space-related effects full of dark-hued and shadowy fringes and corroded resonances. By nature the album is genuinely pessimistic giving no hopes and light-hearted glimpses for next days. It sounds like a broadcast transmitted from an abandoned junkyard of history reflecting still upon the fucked-up dreams and hypocritical life of human kind having had once before the torrent of malignant radiation annihilated it all. The release is to be one nick in the long array of the aesthetics once conceived by Luigi Russolo who warned us from possible consequences and tremendous side effects coming out from the industrialization process.
