Memotone – Bad Panda EP (2011)
/Post-rock, Organic electronica, Experimental electronica, Art pop, Crossover, Sampledelic, Post-psychedelic, Experimental indie/
Comment: this 4-track EP offers a smorgasboard of synthesized breaks, colourful whiffs and instantaneous awakenings arching broadly over it (made up of chiming synths, piano snippets and circinately clanking xylophones). Recommended for fans of DJ Shadow, Four Tet, and Mice Parade. Music is made by William Yates, a solo perfomer/multi-instrumentalist from England being active since the mid of 00`s.
The Golf Sunshine Company - The Leper's Colony Has Drifted Away (2011)
Bandcamp
8.3
/Hip-hop, DIY, Lo-fi, Psych-hop, Avant-hop, Urban music/

/Hip-hop, DIY, Lo-fi, Psych-hop, Avant-hop, Urban music/
Comment: a frenzied psych/lo-fi/hip-hop issue from Oregon, USA. It obviously seems to be a nihilistic, rusty, and abrasive, and amusing trip taken to come over to the unidentified realms of DIY. It is at times noodling, at times stuttering, at times being based on catchy loops and repetitions.
Richard There - If the world calls, please leave a message (2011)
/Singer-songwriter, Dada music, Weird folk, Alt-folk, Spoken word, Experimentalism, Avant-folk, Neofolk/
Comment: no problems with locations. Richard comes from there, actually from There. Very simple indeed. As "simple" as his soundscape used to be. He is a part of the avant-garde group/movement Apskraft, representing proudly its off-the-kilter ideology and peripheral attitude. More concretely, he is an idiosyncratic singer-songwriter in his eccentrity, loving to bake from introspective fingerpicked acoustic folk to electronic buzz-laden guitar music to dada-ish spoken word snippets to experimental robo pop a la Kraftwerk to darkwave/neofolk a la Lycia or Death In June. In a more "usual" approach, his script reminds of the likes of Bill Callahan and John Fahey. Above all of that can be figured out for some off-the-kilter cover songs. In the first place, these are just some vague comparisons to be for. Do not forget about that!
Yutaka Hirasaka - Colors (2011)
Totokoko
8.8
8.8
/Folktronica, Organic electronica, Musique concrète, Experimental folk, Laptop folk/
Comment: a nice folktronic album from Japan. Reversed loops, melodica-relied snippets, half symphony-loaded backgrounds, and floating water around there. At times it will evolve into a highly lofty one (for instance the track number 6).

Voyageurs - Freak Cave (2011)
/Psych-rock, Blues, Garage rock, Psychobilly, Alternative rock/
Comment: Voyageurs is a combo coming from Fayateville, Arizona, offering already their fourth album. Actually it is the vast quantity for the band embarked on in 2010. More concretely, Freak Cave is a highly synergic amalgamation of psych-rock and rock and roll, psychobilly and abrasive garage noodling, slight whiffs of space rock and blues. In comparison with their earlier albums it seems to be a bit less psychedelic and spatial, though. However, it is an eminent accomplishment indeed.
