Comment: the US-based artist CRANK STURGEON's almost a half-hour performance at a villa in Augsburg, Germany makes me think of it as an example coming out of a compilation of noise and electronic music compilation by an imprint, Sub Rosa. It chimes like an installation or radio play executed by a very early electronic musician. I have listened to it twice in a row and the second round was a quite different experience in my perception. First it sounded like a communication act between aliens who deployed their station behind a junkyard somewhere at a very remote distance full of slagged-down glitched-out sonic bits which may hurt you if you get really into it. Something which you are not able to decipher off. At the very rear part of the composition one hear zombie-alike moans as if a possible perspective of depravity and deprivation regarding the human race. By the way, the issue being released on Attenuation Circuit includes the live of this performance at Youtube made up of thrift store electronics, clothes of supermarket aesthetics and incongruous practices.

The Hirundu – Git Biscuits 2: More Git Biscuits (2018)

Pitch And Putt

Bandcamp

• Electro-funk 
• Lo-fi 
• Funk 
• Outsider music 
• Alternative dance 
• DIY 
• Electronic music 
• Funk rock

Comment: The Hirundu (from Blackpool, the United Kingdom) is an oblique DIY/lo-fi act which is being underrated so far. They started creating music after seeing a Happy Mondays` show on TV in 1987. Later, at a time onward the combo would have been continuing as a one-man-project led by Johnny Crewdson. However, he has preserved the quality and quantity of The Hirundu by magnifying obsessively new stylistic slots and reshaping mental impact. As I said being underrated so far because they started creating bedroom-tinged psychedelic vanguardian pop a decade earlier than Ariel Pink, for instance. Both aforementioned artists used to reject the concept of time and any stylistic tags and a sustainable amount of humor within it. For the beginners I recommend listen to No Preservatives (1989), and Uneasy Listening (1994) which are stylistically quite different from one another yet related to one another by uncompromising zeal and experimental intent. One could listen to the discography through the artist`s own site Pitch And Putt and Bandcamp. To illustrate the project one can imagine as if Captain Beefheart, Bruce Haack, Jack Smith, Delia Derbyshire, Cabaret Voltaire, CAN, The Fall would have met at a remote crossroad for to start a brawl. Git Biscuits 2 is a 5-track part of the Biscuits trilogy either providing steeply broken funk (rock) with lulling feel or immersing in more synthetic, air-reduced and spasm-filled sequences as if doing away with clear-cut rhythm (although Johnny Crewdson does), however, the veiled rhythm oozing out of the structure propels it forward. Yeah, its greatness reminds of an exploratory branch of the 90s electronic music full of erratic playfulness and frantic aspiration. Last but not least – I was already unfortunately thinking of getting a year without any release by The Hirundu but at the very rear part of the last year there would be released an issue called Tantalus. In a word, keep going on by both sides.

System Morgue – Voies (2017)

ΠΑΝΘΕΟΝ

• Post-rock 
• Avant-rock 
• Experimental rock 
• Darkgaze 
• Ambient rock 
• Post-metal 
• Progressive rock 
• Doom metal 

Comment: this 3-notch outing is a part of the Russian imprint ΠΑΝΘΕΟΝ (otherwise Pantheophania) which has issued such artists as Tim Six (btw, the founder of the imprint), Somniorum, EugeneKha, Alineko, Desolated Horizons, Creation VI, SiJ, Free Tibet, Dvory, Nemertis, XPAAM among others. Voies is an instrumental outing with epic heights reaching guitar flow and undulating cellophane-alike hisses backing it up. Guitar is the central instrument which is played with varying accents at times getting impulse from post-rock and ambient rock, however, more ominous growling loans obviously a bit from within post-metal/doom-laden metal and darkgaze. It might be proper to call it progressive shoegaze because the former element cannot be rejected from one's listening experience. In mid-2018 the artist abandoned the name and had continued under the name Accasari.

Randomajestiq – Deepmove EP (2004)

Comment: behind Randomajestiq is a musician called Vladimir Hropov from Gomel, Belarus who has been active in creating music since the beginning of the 90s and later on exploring many electronic genres and also crisscrossing them into the mix. Deepmove EP is a fabulous drift between an active and a passive, between the rhythms and laid-back atmospheric swirls, between robots and a human being, between cerebral and a body dance. All what is just said it is a bit artificial construction because if you let it go freely you just perceive it as an organic, undivided one. By the way, the issue is a part of the discography of One.

Velvet Blue

• Hardcore 
• Post-metal 
• Experimental metal 
• Avant-metal 
• DIY 
• Drone doom metal 
• Progressive 
• Improvised music 
• Freeformfreakout

Comment: these 13 tracks clocking in at a 20 minute are issued on Velvet Blue Records filled in with galvanized guitar-induced monoliths, rattling hi-hats and quirky threads dominated by sheer electronic effects and unusual drumming times and instrumental deviation all along. The more I am getting into it the more I realize the artist's intention just to manipulate with metal-related heaviness rather than serving it as the purpose. The listener can perceive how the aforementioned genres are disintegrated and pulverised for the sake of playfulness and artistic fun, for the sake of sonorous entertainment and artistic madness. The Convoys can be considered an exception of excelling at hardcore punk. Another exception is The Nothingness by doing away with the gravity of experimentation and heaviness of metal. Just to start off and fading into nothing as the title refers to. Thirdly, the issue is produced by exploiting DIY attitude and lo-fi approach of which artists are predominantly penchant for sonic experiments. This one is the case. Volatile handling on a guitar and rejecting demarcated stylistic borders reminds of another Brazilian maverick called Lucas Pastina aka LFC.

MOMUS – Timelord (1993)

Ubuweb

• Singer-songwriter 
• Alternative pop 
• Synth-pop 
• Alternative dance
• Art pop

Comment: as we know very well Nick Currie aka Momus shares his six albums (1987-1993) with us via Ubuweb being once released on a famous indie imprint, Creation Records, being also home for such seminal innovative indie rock luminaries as My Bloody Valentine, and Slowdive. Later on, it got home for Oasis but that's a different story (and not so crucial by the impact). In hindsight, Ubuweb is definitely a proper place for his churned-up oeuvre. In principle, Momus goes around like an ominous, academic version of Pet Shop Boys on one side dissecting borderline themes (or at least these ones the politically correct West is ridiculously supposed to have no talk about darker, seedy sides of the human being), sarcastic lyrics yet full of embarrasing sincerity, and on the other side being backed up by witty orchestrations and poignant synth-backed rhythmic treatments. The background of the issue was related to his relationship with a young woman of Bangladesh descent, Shazna Nessa. Obviously by the case the issue sounds to be more doleful, yearning and plunged in incantations of looking backwards and then forward. Given that as his swansong on Creation, it also fits to the thoughtful mood. Moz once sang /Life tends to come and go/That's okay/As long as you know/. Great.

Comment: at times life used to happen to go in the way one's preferences get set in by certain musical qualities and ingredients. Regarding my personal account The Conet Project: Recordings of Shortwave Numbers Stations and Leyland Kirby's project The Caretaker and their disciples The Fucked Up Beat set the pace. More profoundly, Brett Zehner, and Eddie Palmer behind the latter project did have even a bigger impact upon me due to controversial, conspiracy-trodden titles and uncanny spoken word snippets and volatile experimental electronic music even though over a dozen of albums The Fucked Up Beat did trudge along the one and the same trajectory in principle. That's OK, that's even normal practice, however, inside all of that would result in something which can be considered frantic, overwhelming and providing stark new spark and strength. To the uttermost extent and top regarding sonorous and emotive and subconscious content. Always different, always the same. Even if it may be tagged as easy listening or moody music with some reservation an emotionally churned-up, twisted perception is always hidden inside the fabric. At some point Brett, and Eddie decided to foray into a bit different compartment by beginning create music under the name CLOUDWARMER. By my opinion, the decision of them was to incorporate new stylistic elements to the blend – for instance, one can hear even some frenetic (experimental) rock/noise rock/No Wave knots/guitar juxtaposition to be resolved into nonexistence and nonsense in a good sense. Oh yeah, heaven knows we will be dust. In a word, it is an awesome whole of 75 tracks being strikingly rare by its quality, intent and singularity.

• Twee pop

• Electronic
• Free folk

Comment: first of all, I can admit that Polyester Tea is almost as good as Betelmire's second (chronologically first) issue called 606 MPH (2005). 606 MPH is just pure gold by a female singer-songwriter from the Northwestern part of the United States who had used a cassette machine to record music composed on low-end electronic keyboards, an ukelele and her compelling dreamy singing to charm listeners with stunning melodies and blossoming harmonies. In hindsight, this restricted range of instruments seems to be somehow an inspiring soil to get the utmost result from it. To have drifted between electronic and acoustic, between familiar songwriting and uttermost vanguard pop experiments. Crossing the line with decency and credibility. Undoubtedly the span of time she had been surrounded by was truly fruitful and tumultuous – a musical movement called New Weird (America) was on full sway and on the other side Beach House through their obsessively droning minimalist indie songwriting lighted up a way to be followed. Additionally one can perceive muscles of twee pop. Thirdly, I can remember for then strong DIY scene, one of which platforms was CLLCT, a platform for recording bedroom artists. I can not remember anymore maybe Betelmire was a bit of it is as well but by her musicianship and attitude she could have had a perfect match. Let's mention some outstanding songs on Polyester Tea – Bird & Bee, Bedroom Unreality, Normandy Park, Auburn, Hidden Track (Lullaby). The issue is a part of the discography of Rain Above Records. Thank you, Betelmire for punching your unforgettable trace into my soul and mind. Good night, sleep tight.

Mikael Delta – Elation (2019)

Inner Ear

Bandcamp

• IDM 
• Modern classical 
• Post-classical 
• Electronic music 
• Kraut-techno 
• Ambient techno

Comment: this bunch of 12 tracks is something which can be entitled as a threnody to classical experimental techno and intelligent dance music and post-krautrock acts which had been operating with different patterns in rhythm and composition in the Ruhr valley at the end of the 90s and the first half of the 00s. Kreidler, Mouse On Mars, To Rococo Rot, Schneider TM etc, all those groups whose members' subconsciousness was obviously imbued with the legacy of Neu!, Faust, CAN, and Kraftwerk yet on the other side their very own time and space happened to be some decades later at a further point of development and understanding in experimental sound. Mikael Delta is an experienced musician from Greece who adds even more lushness based on vowel sounds and atmospheric upper tones to be juxtaposed with Teutonic rigidity and iterative machinery. The fabulous effort is a part of Inner Ear Records.

Leyland Kirby – We, so tired of all the darkness in our lives (2017)

Bandcamp

• Modern classical 
• Post-classical 
• Ambient 
• Electronic music 
• Art music 
• Epic 
• Contemporary classical 
• Hauntology

Comment: Leyland Kirby is one of the most enchanting composers today, especially thanks to the project The Caretaker which is a platform to unite oldie ballroom music elements with modern aspects and technology in a haunting manner. We have a loads of the so-called modern classical composers worldwide who either mingle piano music with electronic music and ambient or turn it into ambient music with electronic flavours. However, there is the one and only Leyland Kirby whose solo project has been managed to differentiate between past-driven flashbacks and contemporary classical music though the task is not easy at all to show up. Elements of hauntology are still represented over this course with the windy progressions of ambient music and a loose, rather exhaustive rhythmic backbone. By having visited a graveyard some hours before the experience of mine thereafter places the music to the right place (especially after seeing two graveyards of women who recently are gone being slightly older than Leyland Kirby). It is somehow somber and haggard under its burden of experience of time and space, past and present, upcoming decay and knowledge of having no knowledge at least. The last part may be a person's first explicit premise of living. On the other side, an instance of original music and art in general is certainly something more stately and autarkic in its entirety and independence. That mystical spark is an immersive melancholic flow through an artsy, classy form of music. Great stroke indeed.

Ataque Escampe – A alma (2019)

Bandcamp

• Krautrock 
• Art rock 
• Space rock 
• Avant-rock 
• Experimental rock 
• Cinematic 
• Dub 
• Indie rock 
• Alternative rock 
• Noise pop 
• Soul

Comment: Ataque Escampe comes out of the region of Galicia, Spain being physically and culturally nearby Portugal and Portuguese, respectively. My first meeting with the combo did happen through an imprint, Aregueifa which purpose was to promote music from the aforementioned region. Since then, a decade on, quite much has been changed in the sonic palette of the combo. From an alt/indie folk template into a quirky pop touch like the recent one happens to be. This handful of compositions starts off with an evergreen cinematic touch which then goes on churned-up guitar/noise pop convolutions to ultimately progress into an artsy scope, more profoundly, showcasing hints at spacious dub and exquisite kraut and experimental rock explorations on space and soul (indeed, the word "Alma" used to be translated as soul). One can hear bright guitar hooks and elaborated guitar electricity and transcendental echoes and effects wrapping up the rhythmic backbone. Additionally, one can hear either some sort of outlaw vibe in the vein of spaghetti western or ennobling anxiety in singing and aching and shrieking and intoning as if coming out of Outer Space – from our lovely Outer Space. That's simply amazing. Very pro by any means due to all the aforementioned elements are seamlessly integrated and spiced up. One of the best releases in 2019. Perfecto.

Aboombong – AGNOSIS (2019)

Pen & Mallet

Bandcamp

• Ethnotronica 
• World fusion 
• Ambient drone 
• Experimentalism 
• Modern classical 
• Avant-garde
• Krautrock 
• Minimalism

Comment: this batch consists of 3 tracks of different longitudes from a 21-minute one to a 10-minute and an 8-minute one. Aboombong is a project by a mystical musician J.C Thorne who is also related to such combos as Psychic Enemies Network, ¡para!helion, The Jonny Cats and Anxiety of Silence and some other groups one could find out on Pen & Mallet site. Musically aboombong is the most prominent project of him having based on mystical droning, ethnic drumming and skewed ambient progressions. However, many other stylistic elements can be found from there. Similarly to the previous ones AGNOSIS is an astounding issue by playing on iterative hypnotic rhythms of ethnic and kraut-induced motorik which are interspersed with exquisite electronics, high octave singing relied on sole and multiple voices and spatial vowel layers. One of the spans is filled in with airy progressing piano chords which ultimately develop into an immersive cathedral drone which is also suitable for listening in Christmas time. Indeed, the predominant milieu is solemn and epic as if have spent time in an old, weary cathedral (it adds some awe and a bit ghastly feeling to the mix). Top notch in 2019 and other times. No doubt about the fact at all.

Memorymusic – Up (2019)

Pan Y Rosas Discos

• Improvised music 
• Fusion 
• Jazz 
• Post-rock

Comment: this patch of 5 tracks is composed and arranged by a guy known behind nom de plume Memorymusic – keyboards, production; Ujstin Echno – electronics, album artwork; and Tommy Carroll – drum set being released on Pan Y Rosas Discos, an imprint from Chicago, Illinois, USA of which purpose has been over the years to promote cutting-edge music of jazz, improvised music, experimental rock, electronic music and synergistic crisscrossing between them. By adding to it a conceptual measure frequently, as in the recent case, more profoundly, memory and relentless passing of time and permanent changing, it adds some kind of extraneous theoretical dimension to music or just keep amplifying it in an unusual way. An album is something one can listen to at any time the outing is always physically over there yet one's perceptions may change (remarkably) over the years. However, emotive elements within it do work as steady anchors by letting threads in one's memory even if you later would forget about technical minutiae of the album – some sort of polyphonic and modal music by each of them starting alone and then growing stepwise together and into a seamless one. Lonely bouncing piano chords, scruffy drumming, faint electronic accents and dusty keyboard strands used come together sometime, I mean being decelerated by playing music in a laid-back and thoughtful manner. Reminds of a little bit Tortoise but having premiered in a more academic manner.

The Jerusalem Mules – Pulling Out of the World (2019)

Death Roots Syndicate

Archive.org

• Americana 
• Singer-songwriter 
• Roots music 
• Blues

Comment: it is obviously one of the most austere releases I have heard so far under an immersive imprint, Death Roots Syndicate. The group consists of Matt Borczon, and Steve Brown who together play old time music with raw punk energy. A navy sailor cigarbox guitar and a cookie tin banjo used to conjure up rotely running tunes emitting a highly blank glimpse coming out of the eyes of the players. As if a slave playing in front of other enslaved ones at those few idle moments. There is no the aforementioned raw punk energy in direct sense though on the other side it is certainly something about blues as a musical style and tradition has handed down its tortured ideological tradition and tough standpoints to a subsequent contemporary artist. Thorough simplicity and the feeling of transience. As if a reflection of people being trampled down by unrighteous ones but ready to stand up again and again. Nice.
