Drainbow - Drainbow (2011)
Bandcamp
9.4
9.4
/Psych-rock, Stoner rock, Avant-rock, Sludge metal, Experimental rock, Drone rock, Noise rock, Fuzz rock/
Comment: Drainbow is a trio (Nathan Leach, Jacob Howard, Brad Coupens) from Phoenix, Arizona who fuses hirsute fuzz rock, some glowering stoner metal aspects, powerfully grooving surf rock (especially at Kate) and some threatening sludge metal glimpses into a frantic undulation of psych-rock on their 4-track debut release. Watt & SK resembles of the best days by Sonic Youth at the end of the 80`s. A great instance of sunburned desert rock by any means. In a nutshell, it is what obviously used to be called contemporary rock and roll music.
No Loli-Gagging - The Floor Is Now Lava (2011)
/Plunderphonics, Sound collage, Cut and paste, Breaks, Crossover, Freeformfreakout/
Comment: this album includes 15 (mostly) short-running notches which have been moulded by using cut and paste technique and approach, more concretely, mixing up a huge array of beats or so-called rhythm-based cores with shibuya-kei/J-pop vocal expressionism. On the other side it casts up good taste and more slicker attitudes. Indeed, at times it seems to be way too bulimic due to its high frequency at changing the sound pads and moods or just using very contrasty examples. I guess nobody is not ready to count the total result of samples exploited on the album. In a word, the floor is lava now.
Mequetrefe - Gobi (2012)
/Shoegaze, Crossover, Indie dance, Alternative rock, Dance rock, Psychedelic rock, Space rock, Post-rock/
Comment: Mequetrefe, the Spanish-based quintet had released an excellent album called Play Off in 2010 which crossed shoegaze-ish guitar washes with post-rock and space rock shades. This time all these tendencies are still represented there, yet, being coalesced with catchy dance-appealed propulsions and hypnotic, electronically tinged oscillations. All these elements are wrapped up in the 10-minute composition, called Kill All The Indies (indeed, similarly to Primal Scream`s Kill All The Hippies). Moreover, if to trying to compare it with someone else, however, it reminds a little bit of Sereena Maneesh`s self-titled debut album (2005).
