Post-Avantist - Vasiform Rima (2012)

 Dystimbria

9.1

/Harsh noise, Avant-garde, Experimentalism, Non-music, Psycho-acoustic, Acousmatics/

Comment: wow, it is cruel and burningly hissing. You can imagine it as if My Bloody Valentine (or Mr. Shields) were a bigwig of the harsh noise scene. The whole issue consists of one lengthy, 19 minute composition which functions like a sonic nightmare full of high-registered chords and quite static penetrating impulses. It can be considered an example of the imagination about harsh noise in the classical sense of this word because of including loads of drifts between the washes of brutal noise and silentful spans/or silence. More concretely, these minutes can be compared with the likes of Hanatarashi, John Wiese, Dror Feiler, Kanin Krusete.   

FranzSnake - All`s Well (2012)

Mayoware

9.2

/J-pop, Shibuya-kei, Electro-house, Mood music, Lounge music, Bubblegum techno, Robot pop, Easy listening, Chilltronica/

Comment: this handful of tracks make you feel very happy and truly blissed-out - at times FranzSnake`s topic is to mix up suggestive electro house/robo house with J-pop/shibuya-kei seeds or just having a spot directed toward the rotation of moody guitar riffs and soothing synth chords and restrained paces. Or contrary, offering up more bubblegum-ish rhythm sequences. However, Mikakuzino Fantasia is the summer track of mine (there is also another version of it). The release can be compared with the likes of Fantastic Plastic Machine, and Pizzicato Five, for instance.

Last King of Poland - Follow Lonely Roads

Sanmi - Piano Explosion (2012)

Black Square

Lastfm

8.9

/Piano music, Modern classical, Experimentalism, Conceptual, Instrumental music/

Comment: Sanmi is the nom de plume of Kyo Yanagi from Nippon who used to operate on the piano throughout the course of 5 tracks. Indeed, it can be considered piano music, though, played on in a very experimental way. It involves austere and poignant arrangements where fluttering chords and hammering phrases are conjured up to create a lot of moods and lot of changes. Everything will change at the time of this trip.     

Dingle - Bitches Get Glitches (2012)

Robo Robotica

Robo Robotica

8.6

/Harsh noise, Avant-garde, Non-music, Experimentalism, Freeformfreakout/

Comment: this 3-piece issue is abrasive, threatening, provocative and politically incorrect. The whole includes howling noises, frantic throbbing, ingurgitating signals and thick resonating sonic massives. Now and then it is variegated with phrases about "love of fuck", thereby as you have already figured out it is not thought for children. And it is out of pop for sure. 

MeDo`s Little Trap - Medicine Sound (2012)

La bèl
Lastfm 

9.2

/Baroque folk, Singer-songwriter, Indie folk, Folktronica, Dream folk, Folk indie, Art pop/

Comment: there are up 4 tracks which are filled in with warm guitar twangs and harmonious vocal and some vowel effects, being genuinely intimate and contemplative (the most eminent track it the title track). At times it chirps like an instance of doo wop vibes and providing more electronic and programmed seeds. The whole is issued on La bèl, the Italian qualitative music label.

árbore - Apenino & Raro (2006)

Bandcamp

9.0

/Free folk, New Weird Europe, Weird folk, Indie folk, Experimental folk, Drone folk, Avant-folk, Freak folk, Sound art/ 

Comment: àrbore, the Spanish-based musical project provide 9 notches, all of them are instrumental and genuinely experimental progressions. In addition to treated guitar-based outlet a wide array of instruments are proudly represented there. For instance, arpeggio-laden guitar chords are accompanied by melodica-based drones and glockenspiel-based subtlety can be found from there. Furthermore, the whole starts off with sophisticated sound art-esque developments which can be categorized "abstract" if to regard folk-tinged things in narrow sense of this word. On the other side, àrbore`s sound does not follow the common understanding of folk music at all thereby rather being a solid representative of the New Weird Europe scene.
