Gabriel Vitel – New New World (2017)

Broque

• House 
• Orchestrated music 
• Remix
• Alternative dance 
• Electronic music 
• Crossover

Comment: Gabriel Vitel and Alec Troniq are back again after releasing The Aviating in 2015. The story is partly old – the duo`s music is still house paced and even one composition is old taken from The Aviating (Old Tortures) though it is newly produced by using the help by Dortmunder Philarmoniker. There is also up a video of the recording session. On the other side, the new outing seems to be more airy and full-fledged due to sampling instruments from an orchestra or orchestrated music. For instance, at the beginning at the title track you can hear the orchestrations of volatile violins which give the track a dynamic touch which may remind of the music by Arthur Russell at times. Some tracks used to be repeated due to being subjugated to remix process and other edit versions. Electronic meets acoustic in a flawless way while avoiding to be mawkishly bombastic. It is a very good listening session. The 6-track outing is a part of the discography of Broque.

Comment: it is said very exactly at the site of Kahvi Collective that the Lithuanian artist MigloJe is the master of drone in the discography of the imprint. Indeed, Perception is certainly a disparate case if to compare it to other issues I have heard so far. It avoids merry beats, easier synthesised progressions and picturesque compositions, it is being deliberately reserved and sealed in minimal droning and dark ambient aesthetic while arousing the listener's perceptions nevertheless. The structure of compositions used to grow slowly and stepwise. At times the aesthetic of droning is painted with loaded electricity and a wisp of more white coloured (orchestrated) overflows and some electronic effects, glitches, vague clicks and beeps and barely audible rhythms. Less is more and it will be approved eventually. As Malcolm Mooney of CAN once chirped in the beginning of the 70s that silence is an invisible conversation. It is a sublime drift between almost silence and sub-noise/microscopic noise. Of course, you shall have to add your perceptible appearances tightly correlating with them to the whole as well. It is an essential part of the perception. It may be a soundtrack for your nightmares. Highly appreciated in the perception of mine. Take enough time and silence to perceive it accurately. I guess in Lithuanian the title is as Suvokimas.

Bandcamp

• Free jazz

• Experimentalism 
• Electro-acoustic

Comment: first of all, these 27 minutes and some seconds additionally are sexy and puckish. It is played by a man and a woman thereby creating a sultry synergy between each other. Furthermore, the finishing part of the composition is quite eargasmic and ending with a powerful culmination. In fact, it starts off in the same manner. On the other side, it is prankish because of consisting of an improvisational set which in turn consists of an innumerable amount of chords and abrasive key appearances on the piano and the cello respectively as if played on a prepared instrument with an extended technique. I would prefer to call it modal jazz because both instruments used to progress in different directions to eventually meet each other in mutual areas in a quite agitated and frantic way. Like demonstrating the clash between the sexes. And thereafter getting together again. Like the human life supposedly used to be. That's cool, I mean highly ear-provoking even if it is quite austere and abrasive by its instrumental park. Musically it used to be a play with angularity and deformations where the chords will get partly broken and then repaired again. Intensity is a third component within the formula. And it is the basic cycle of the cooperation. The intriguing  outing is a bit in the discography of Pan Y Rosas Discos, a dwelling place for experimental music worldwide.

Neil Scrivin – Twenty Years On Ben Nevis (2008)

Rack And Ruin

Fonolith

• Ambient 
• Drone 
• DIY 
• Electronic music 
• Lo-fi 
• Dreamwave 
• Drone pop 
• Organcore 
• Mood music

Comment: just discovered that Blackpool musician Neil Scrivin`s both albums Twenty Years On Ben Nevis, and Tomorrow`s World are uploaded at Bandcamp, both of them are remastered and are available in tape format being now closely related to such Blackpudlian imprint as Fonolith. However, my intention is to review it as a bit in the discography of Rack &Ruin Records, a record label reflecting upon an interesting microscopic sonic space at the end of the 00s, and the beginning of the 10s. Rack & Ruin Records had been heading by the Englishman Dean Birkett from 2008 to 2011 whose taste was DIY friendly while experiment orienting. There was up enough noisy indie, peculiar folk-based issues, clumsy lo-fi and bedroom masterminds, warped electronic and deranged ambient-alike stuff. If to name only some artists I would like to denote such artists as Gnomefoam, starstarstar, Tropical Australian Stinger Research Unit, Zgress, Chad Golda, Patrick Hussey, If The People Were Paper, Tyson Brinacombe, Hipster Youth, Dog Bite, Cody England, Gnouli Monsters, Vincent Lillis, The Macadamia Brothers, Lean Horse Marathon, Frost Faire, dessktop, Andy`s Airport Of Love, Chimney Fish. This album of 14 compositions which will clock in at a 35 minute is a sublime drift within droning ambient coated electronic music where the listener can perceive dreamwave-tinged seeds to appear. It is almost (indie) pop music but I have to emphasise the word almost. It is being always admirable if electronic music is produced in dreamy mode (to do it one hs to surpass the mechanical, machine-drenched nature of it). In fact, such sort of sound would mostly get popularized some years ago after the recent release thanks to such artists as Oneothrix Point Never, M Gedded Gengras, Steven Hauschildt. All of that is the contemporary counterpart of Kosmische Musik where adorable vibrations and otherworldly beatific drones are followed by one another or superimposed on eath other. While listening to it you do not need nothing else for your fortune. It sounds like going backwards the past you could find the future from it waiting for you. Originally it was released in 2007 yet at Rack & Ruin it was released one year later.

Quote Unquote

Bandcamp

• Punk rock

• Psychedelic rock

• Agit-pop 
• Pomp rock

Comment: this 15-notch album is the second in a trilogy by considering such topics as access to quality meal (as the title hints at), possibilities to moving upward the societal ladder and disparities in power and privilege. And it is largely influenced by the election of Donald Trump as president. For Shane Natalie who is behind the project it is adverse event. I have no intention to consider the last mentioned aspect but the first mentioned aspects should be more balanced within a society. Of course, total equality as an idea is a sort of utopia because people are different by their abilities, intelligence and wishes and fortitude. We must have no intention to repeat the practice of Red Khmers through a million of corpses. Given that the state as an institution should be as thin as possible and as much be presented as it is needful for a citizen. In a word, the human being needs that basic needs as vitamin enriched food, shelter and solid education could be fulfilled. And for a talented and hard-working individual there should be possibilities to move forward both educationally and therefore socially. Yet do not forget a most important thing – a human being can still be classified as animal and his/her life is a tremendous fight. The societies are still in a latent state of war, i.e all human beings are fighting against each other even if there are the appearances of collaboration. Musically the whole relies on power pop/punk rock/college rock numbers while at times adding psychedelic spices with fingertip. I wish the artist would have added more madness and hystery and exaggerated energy to the music to add more credibility to support his message. At times it chimes in a way too sabbatical mode. The sensitive outing is a bit in the discography of Quote Unquote Records.

Comment: Hu Creix is an interesting artist at least it can be assumed while listening to this 10-notch outing. Unfortunately I have not had enough time to put spots on other releases by him. As the title says it is about sins as much or less as he used to sing and recite here and there. These are small things and habits on its own but important to him. Or giving a fuck to more murky themes like death and having no future. Indeed, most of the compositions presented over there are instrumental ones. It must be said it is an album of balance both emotionally and musically and even stylistically. From chugging electronic and indie tinged music to some gloomy ambient glimpses. For instance, the title track reminds me of Kraftwerk when the legends were to move forward from early motorik to tranquil electro and techno pop. Hydro Key continues with the same path while adding dub inflected electronic effects and spaced-out psychedelic music and cool jazz whiffs to the mix. Astonishing stuff. Great dub. It talks about smoking as well. The release is a part of the discography of Sirona-Records, the prolific French imprint. Oedine is a beatific, atmospheric progression based on a pitched-up, lengthy droning of a Southeast female voice and being backed up by calm rhythms and swirling electronic effects. The most blissful composition on it without any doubt. That reminds me of Holger Czukay's Canaxis 5 and a composition called Boat Woman Song. RIP Holger we miss you! At Shoot Me Hu Creix sings I look out of the window I hear the birds are singing but I don't care. Oh yeah, it sounds so elegantly arrogant and lofty and even absurd yet the result is all but absurdity yet it makes my face smiling. In a nutshell call it excellent yet deformational (pop) music.

Comment: I can remember for a conversation with Steve Bromley aka Gnomefoam through lastfm sometime in the beginning of 2011 when he told me about his brand new one coming soon on Rack And Ruin Records. Unfortunately sometime soon it would be announced about the ending of Dean Birkett led imprint. I can't remember anymore what happened to the forthcoming Gnomefoam's outing but it was very sad to know about the end of this imprint with idiosyncratic roster whom lo-fi and DIY aesthetic was the thing of honour. Good old times worth to be remembered at any time. Apparently Gnomefoam and Chad Golda are the only artists who are being active from the roster today. For sure, Steve Bromley's uncanny approach was something remarkable. However, much seems to be changed since then. I say immediately it is a great album wherein Steve Bromley's sound and intention is remarkably more grown-up yet at the same time still holding up playfulness. Furthermore, there are up an innumerable bunch of different faces to have appeared throughout the 13-notch outing. From more classical indie pop and synth-pop/electro-indie/indietronica and convulsive sampledelic pop to noisy rock and gospel and even spoken word induced spiritual, illuminated music. Regardless of the style the compositions are uncompromising and full-fledged. The gospel track called Uppers is one of the highlights of the issue. Lyrically it is frequently pessimistic and murky yet it seems to be Bromley's posture as an artist recently. At times it reminds me of Joy Division though indirectly. A sublime flirtation with the Grim Reaper, isn't? For instance, listen to such a track as Things Will Be Better (When I'm Dead) to understand what I meant. I'm very glad to be back enjoying his fascinating music.

• Italo disco

• Breakbeat

Comment: Fortadelis is one of those electronic musicians/producers who is adept to drift seamlessly between different styles while avoiding to result in either a cheap or a magniloquent result. In truth, it is positively magniloquent because of being partly a firework of gurgling electro, lofty chill out, acidic Italo disco, dusty New Age and atmospheric/psytrance inflected music. On the other side, Tomislav Ocvirek, the musician and synthesiser enthusiast from Zagreb, Croatia likes to convey more contemporary elements to the audible interface such as hypnagogic deep house, peaky breakbeat attacks, profound delay effects (dub) and solid ambient pop. So it can be admitted the artist is an old school musician by his choice on the music instruments while being contemporaneous with the kind of artists whose premise is to match the past with the present and make thicker the cultural layer this way. In fact, any of the aforementioned elements used to reflect the other ones on its own and vice versa. Moody meets cerebral. Yeah, I guess I am going to search for the synthesiser enthusiasts from the Balkan peninsula due to having full of potential because he is the second one I have discovered recently. The first was Abul Mogard, the drone/ambient wizard from Serbia who himself builds up the synthesisers. In a word, the result is a top tier and being issued on Jamendo.

Cuubik. – to James (2016)

Bandcamp

Trash Can Dance

• Alternative pop/rock 
• Dream pop 
• Lo-fi 
• DIY 
• Psychedelic rock

Comment: in the 90s there had been the vital indie guitar pop/rock scene in Estonia full of urge and naivety. Probably the most well-known ensemble was Röövel Ööbik, the first combo coming out behind the Iron Curtain to had appeared in John Peel show and had their own session. However, there had been existed such combos as ÖÄK, 1983, Dallas, Dreamphish, Bizarre, The Chance, Afternooning Plague Family, Bimini, Borax, FM Violet, The Choice, Jim Arrow And The Anachrones. In the 00s most of the collectives ended their tenure and new combos were more professional and unfortunately boring and lacklustre. Cuubik. is a contemporary group yet their soundscape sounds very authentic in comparison with the aforementioned era. The members of the combo call their sound fake indie yet it disorienting description. It is an instance of indie/alternative pop/rock at its finest and genuine meaning. It is more than a little bit lo-fi and DIY, it is a little bit dreamy, it is a little bit psychedelic and even employing electronic and dance-appealed sounds at times. I feel myself truly fascinated while listening to these slightly drowsy yet highly enchanting compositions. Highly nostalgic and refreshing at the same time. I do not miss the 90s but I am always ready to rememebr it with a positive word. One can find out a couple of great tracks from within it (Philosophers, Mindgame Mastermind, You and You). You can get a shortened version of the album on tape as well being released on Trash Can Dance.

Comment: this bunch of 13 tracks within the span of 63 minutes establishes a sonic universe filled in with disparate corners, ear-catching progressions and exuberant soundscapes where the listener can enjoy mellow timbres, elemental noises, natural sounds from our world, peaky glitches, creepy drones and elliptically iterative rhythms. At times you can perceive it as if vamped up of debris. As if a soundscape being collected from the bits of sonic junkyard. Ultimately it can be said there is a sort of bold line which unites all the details and minutiae with one another in a gentle way. Of course, the palette is even richer including such elements as hypnotic dream pop (Saloize iii), sublime IDM and glitch-tinged pop (Cetus) and profound ambient/space music (Sureste (Ciudad Inacabada)) which is a positive surprise in any cases. Behind the project is the Spanish musician Sergio Sánchez. This astounding outing is a part of the discography of Pan Y Rosas Discos from Chicago, Illinois, USA.

Art School Jocks – Art School Jocks (2017)

Quote Unquote

Father/Daughter

• Fuzz pop

• Alternative pop/rock

Comment: Art School Jocks is a female quartet from Atlanta, Georgia, USA whose music seems to be punk grounded at the first glance yet by going on you get realised it is platform for the chicks to move further to the indie scene. Ali, Deborah, Dianna, and Camille define themselves as existential basement pop band. It might be their most direct relation to punk music is bound through their critical attitude towards some racial and sex relation based concerns and even the footy sense of living pours out from the lyrics. It is sometimes said that the way to hell is pathed with good intentions. You can perceive that feel within it as well. Fortunately the pessimism is supported by solid guitar music coated with fuzzed-out vamps and dreamy glimpses. Given that this short 12-minute outing has been managed to set up a vivid and invigorating whole. The release is a part of the discographies of such labels as Quote Unquote Records, and Father/Daughter Records.

Comment: undoubtedly the first half of the 90s predicted what would be happening at the end of 00s and in the beginning of the 10s. By my opinion by experimental side there were many great experimental pop acts in advance but the most important ones were My Bloody Valentine with its Loveless which can freely be considered the most sultry guitar music ever made. It is the representative of perfect/ideal pop where tenderness was seamlessly intertwined with violet noise the music which is the candidate of your very deep dreams. I personally dreamed of Kevin Shields led combo's music for many years and when getting it finally it was bigger than my dreams used to ever be. Stereolab came from the tradition of C86 and jangle pop (from McCarthy to turning out into something very different. By the way, being partly influenced by MBV, and partly by krautrock-driven motorik beat, particularly by such artists as Neu!, and Faust. Yet the combo's idiosyncrasy come to appear and last for the coming decadences and artists because Tim Gane and Laetitia Sadier led distilled something wondrous from a range of diverse styles. From quite straightforward drone pop/organcore in the beginning to more sophisticated incantations through incisive electronic music, psychedelic pop and krautrock and bossa nova and French pop. The future had been presented through the past and present. Like the philosophical proposition that the modes of time cannot be existed without each other. All of that brought the combo forward as a main proponent of the so-called ideal pop. On the other hand, the combo's music justified itself as post-rock essentially rather than the bare stylistic label. If such styles as chillwave came to the terrain it was very understandable for indie people the task of Stereolab as a main linkage and premise to it. The Brazil-based imprint The Blog That Celebrates Itself brings to us a bunch of 15 compositions reflecting upon other possibilities for Stereolab which wouldn't and shouldn't have been realised for. For instance, singing songs with male voices and by employing more rough, lo-fi approach. There are represented such artists as Pia Fraus, Lake Ruth And Listening Center, Nax, Brilliant Beast, The Ludovico Treatment, Sexores, Blue Unit with April Zimont (Glowfriends), A Thousand Hours, The Death of Pop, El Camino de Los Caminos, La Suma de Todos los Tiempos, Waving Blue, Verstarker, Leisure Walks, and Perfectos Extraños. Great miscellany for a great ensemble.

Comment: it is great pleasure to spend time with this 4-notch one being issued on Soisloscerdos. Huesca EP 1 reflects upon certain temporal spans in the beginning of the 90s and the end of the 80s while the world was stoned thanks to dope and hypnotically rhythmic music. Oh yeah, it is a wondrous half hour full of wadded cadences, loose oscillations and something else yet certainly magic within it additionally. On the other hand, it is still music from today as one can hear more technical and neurotic approach to it. Beyond that, you shall have to pay attention to the subsequent part of the outing. In a word, it is electronic/dance music as a form of art.

Comment: music must be fun and ironic, ear provoking and intense, primitive and accomplished. It should unleash beast from within its nature while being ridiculous and serious at the same time. Vaatican Records has been a good platform for artists with the aforementioned description. Minimal and primitive yet intensely compelling sonic progressions are something up there to prove its power and perseverance through an uncanny point of view which does not calculate for nothing because it takes all possibilities for granted. Absolutely democratic and egalitarian yet at the same time being vanguard and innovative. In truth, pop music as an instance is not represented over there. There are represented a couple of artists with dadaist name whose music can be described as experimental electronic music and there is no need to desperately draw the line between the artists because the purpose of this 5-notch outing is to complement each other with audible minutiae. Furthermore, two tracks are up there as collaborative ones. Even as you hear as different sonic aspects as murky neoclassical progressions and glowering synth droning and quite primitive smouldering within the realm of electronic music as parts of the whole. As if getting information from a broken black box or from other dimension. That's fabulous and horrendous at the same time. In a word, get immersed in it to partake in this glass bead game.

Bandcamp

• Avant-garde 
• Electronic music 
• Post-industrial 
• Experimentalism 
• Improvised music 
• Experimental electronica 
• Celtic music 
• World music

Comment: Gavia EP is Cornwall-based Hanetration`s ninth outing (all the releases are issued as EPs) and clearly having either no pop ambition or any wish to provide something more clear-cut the UK-based artist continues to develop its profound and interesting soundscape while having clear connotations with the previous issues. It might be the relation is even stronger due to stark experimental approach through dizzying sonic effects and murky electronic scaffolds. In any cases you can find out some new elements from the brand new one of four compositions (for instance, drowsy yet suggestive bagpipe improvisations, “merry” piano chords and exhausted synthesised progressions) yet the whole effect coming out from it seems to be seamless and energizing. One can ask for Zorile of being either Celtic music or not. It is all but lengthy and boring – just 19 minutes in total. In a word, it is still an instance of post-industrial music yet it is going to add more playful and even joyful elements with the every next outing. Yet this merriness may kill an average man who thinks of it as an innocent companion with beer and superficial attitude. Staggering stuff.

Comment: just checked out to get more exact information of how many times Belarusian Vitaly Harmash aka I/Dex`s music has been appeared at Recent Music Heroes. Most of the albums by Harmash had been reviewed approximately 5-6 years ago and there was a certain reason to do it. For instance, by listening to this 7-notch outing you can get enough support to the cover print of consisting of the waves of oscillation. From granular ambient and sophisticated drone to sublime post-rock moments and ennobling organic electronic music at times running separately, at times running side by side. There are up many signals as intriguing shape-shifters to move on from one state to another. In fact, one can feel himself/herself to be tensioned in a positive way. The stunning issue is a part of the discography of Foundamental Network.

Pueblo Nuevo

• Electronic music

• Deep techno 
• Improvised music
• Alternative

Comment: these 894 seconds are imbued with sultry magic supposedly thought for consuming at the midnight though in fact it works out at any time of the day. It is a collaborative act between three Argentinian musicians wherein you can perceive minimally sequenced rhythmic structures and synthesised pads with sublime voices and fragile glitched-out bits. It can be said one is probably not able to discern the final part and the finishing part of the composition especially if you have been listening to it endlessly in a row. All of that seems to fade into each other seamlessly, it is like an aural shape of the perfect geometrical element as the ring. It is an astounding sci-fi lullaby for your uneasy spans to fall finally asleep. The issue is a part of the discography of the Chilean imprint Pueblo Nuevo. There is a big chance to meet it sometime at the end of the year again at least at Recent Music Heroes.

Daywand – Oblong Jokes (2017)

Restless Life Syndrome

• Dub rock 
• Improvised music 
• Experimental rock 
• Avant-garde
• Alternative 
• Electronic music 
• Neoclassical

Comment: as much as I have understood this set of 8 tracks is produced by a man called Dylan Anderko. Besides, as much as I have understood this is the first issue by such a fabulous imprint as Restless Life Syndrome being commented at RMH. However, I did not have figured out for a long time what kind of music had been running through my aural channels because all of that is studded with the incessant flow of turns and dodges and because of that the whole seems to be so volatile to get the focus on. It used to make it everywhere and therefore having no certain place and shelter. From dub inflected rough and slowed down rock chords and offbeat electronic whirlpools to smouldering synthesised electronic rhythms and cut-up vowel effects to organic concrete music sounds. Something Alive is certainly Anderko's the most poppy composition based on a fairly catchy hook. Is it going to live and get an indie music (minor) hit? Come On Down gives me a welcome hint to arrive after a while at such an obscure neofolk/neoclassical artist as Art Abscons from Germany. In a word, it is a tremendous wave of interesting sounds and compositions. Just keep holding carefully spot on it.
