Myles Coyne - I Love You Mom (2012)

Mine All Mine

8.7

/Anti-folk, Lo-fi, DIY, Singer-songwriter, Alt-folk/

Comment: "homesick blues", singer-songwriter/folk songs. Just a guitar, harmonica, recorder, and hotblooded/or even hysterical singing. The set of 7 tracks involves lots of energy around there which at times used to evolve into more synergical moments and frantic outbursts. The ending track Chapter Three used to run on piano drops, however, being more contemplative and profound than the rest of the songs. Very beautiful, being the outstanding glimpse on it for me. In conclusion, not bad at all.

9.4

/Reggae, Dub, Crossover, Psychedelic, World music, Experimentalism/

Comment: just three pieces which take on reggae and some World music-confluenced progressions and outlets. Furthermore, psychedelic influences used to be strong and profound reminding of peripheral dub rock sounds either. You can compare it to the likes of Primal Scream, or Asian Dub Foundation, for instance (Sinai Express). Or on the other side, sultry yet gloomy Mariachi-alike themes are shuffled with tabla rhythms and vinyl crackling (Baraka). The last notch Al Moussaouri meanders on rough, resonating bass chords and dusty reed organ-induced vibes and quacks. In a word, the issue having created by Ahmed Moussa is truly viable and consistent.

Ergo Phizmiz - Music For Your Party (2012)

9.4

/Plunderphonics, Experimental electronica, Electro pop, Sound collage, Cut and paste, Experimentalism, Avant-garde/

Comment: Ergo Phizmiz, one of the most eminent plunderphonics/sound collage artists is back with his brand new one. There are up 6 tracks which used to extend from propulsive, rhythmic electronica and emotionally gushy, bubbling electro gears and ominously sounding samples to spoken word snippets and orchestrated outtakes shuffled around. Catchy and convincing on any scales.

9.2

/Urban music, Hip-hop, Rap/

Comment: there are up 6 notches which are about hip-hop and rap through and through. Intense yet gritty mc-ing is backed up with more or less sultry backdrops, more or less undulating synth floatations- samples and soul and funky-soaked vibes. In a word, Joey Ribbs demonstrates his proficiency to select and manage the samples.

Kyoto - Lo que vuelve para vengarse (2010)

9.4

/Shoegaze, Progressive rock, Art rock, Alternative rock, Experimental indie, Space pop, Psychedelia, Post-rock, Avant-rock/

Comment: Kyoto, a Zaragoza, Spain-based collective pushes off with dizzy cosmic and shoegaze fused guitars-drums-keyboards. A truly eargasmic moment by any means. The following pieces used to continue with the controlled dizziness, more concretely, rocking off with acidic keyboards and intriguing female timbres and singing in Spanish reminding a little of Electrelane. The ditties are characterized by lush textures and murky melodies, spatial gliding and suggestive harmonies. Or endlessly longing interludes like Hasta La Eternidad headed by harmonica-induced motives and drifting ambiances around it. A fabulous issue indeed. In a word, it is our progressive rock, a qualitative next step after Pink Floyd.
