Enko - Dush (2010)


Bypass

8.7

/Experimental techno, Avant-techno, Breakbeat, Abstract techno, Dub-tech, Lo-fi/

Comment: An Ukrainian techno-biased gearhead and rhythmic alchemist goes on his way, in this case exploring the fringes of breakbeat space infected with a strong hit of experimentalism, including lots of pitch effect-aesthetics, elemental layerings, strongly rumbling side channels and cosmic loops. However, it is an example of progressive music of the 21th century. By the way, at times the samples of real bass guitar are exploited for and dub undercurrents and lo-fi-backed pace combinations will be showcased.

Bendle - Tattered Tongues (2008)


Bandcamp

9.0

/Eccentric pop, Avant-garde, Doo wop, Dark folk, Avant-pop, Non music, Experimentalism, Musique concrete, Weird pop, Darkwave, Noir/

Comment: Bendle's effort is a kind of invisible, wraith-alike monster in nowhere man`s land somewhere filled in with vanguard-ish sonic ruins and having impressive while seamless drifts inbetween experimental pop music and just experimental music (experimentalism). By the way, are you loving the sound of Robert Wyatt for instance? Well, in this case you apparently will love this 15-track issue as well. The year was then 2008 and while listening to some murky moments and watching the symbols (triangles, unusual serif typefaces) at the coverprint, might it be the album was a case about witch house/drag music already?

Birds Build Nests Underground - Cold Dreams (2009)

Mediafire

8.7

/Dystopbient, Illbient, Sound collage, Plunderphonics, Avant-garde, Lobit, Film noir, Repetitronica, Hauntology, Acousmatic, Experimentalism, Musique concrete, Microsound, Sampledelic/

Comment: Eeehh...it is an idiosyncratically off-kilter set of two tracks by its formal stand, the last of them running over 33 minutes. The album is "just" about malignant ambient music, near-experimental jazz snippets and a lush repeating film score sample gear, having lots of phase changes over its course. All the sound of a duo is wrapped up by a mighty, hiss-backed mist.

Rebery - Rebery (2010)


Bandcamp

8.4

/Shoegaze, Goth rock, Darkwave, Crossover, Experimental rock, Alternative, Dream pop, Electronic/

Comment: Imagine a strong bound between shoegaze, post-punk, and darkwave, more concretely, a sheer connection between the likes of Slowdive, Lycia, and the Siouxsie and the Banshees. Yet, it is a brainchild of a duo from Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
