Summertime's End - Light And Colour (2012)
8.9
/Chamber pop, Indie pop, Electronic pop, Baroque pop, Alternative pop/
Comment: these 10 pieces are moody revealations introduced with the chords of a piano and backed up with chiming synths, galvanized guitars and mellow vocal lines. It is a little melancholic and sad like the end of summertime, though, on the other side, having managed to be full of hopes and refreshing air. Throughout the course some tracks reveal themselves in a little bit simplistic, cheesy way, the other ones used to be more treated, sophisticated contemplations. However, the eminent tracks used to be Light And Colour, Airport Dreams, Until Blue Skies Return, and There`s Room On My Trolley For Two.
Drugstore – Gaia EP (2012)
8.8
/Psytrance, Acid techno, Electronic pop/
Comment: Drugstone`s album is an example of how psytrance-loaded thudding is successfully interlaced with the oscillations of electronic pop and angular techno vibes resembling of the ones having dominated in the beginning of the 90`s. Half of the whole is made up of remixes. In a word, it is interesting and intriguing.
Pilesar - Pilesar`s Ugly Children (2012)
9.2
/Noise, Krautrock, DIY, Avant-garde, Sound collage, Avant-industrial, Experimentalism, Sampledelic, Psycho-acoustic, Acousmatics/
Comment: Pilesar is being known due to his lo-fi and primitivistic oeuvres for creating of which he used to exploit microphone, broken effects pedals, voice and some other instruments. He has issued a batch of releases under his own label, called Chameleon Dish Archives. This time he represents the brand of Zeromoon. This time his new album is filled in with 11 dazzling patchworks consisting of unbridled noises, dissonating cut-ups and lopsided rhythmic patterns. The whole veers away from obscure noise music and ghastly psycho-acoustic visions to more krautrock-loaded propulsions and early industrial vibes. Very exciting indeed.

Derek Clegg - Life Unfolds (2012)
8.6
/Alt-folk, Indie folk, Singer-songwriter, Folk indie, Americana/
Comment: The Chicago-based musician Derek Clegg is back with his brand new one. Indie folk/alt-folk business as usual though including some exceptions. This 8-track album is built on lush guitar twangs and chirps and chiming yet dolefully mannered vocal undertaking which is turn are spiced up with some keyboard chords and half-orchestrated pictures.
Certain Death To Salamanders - Certain Death To Salamanders (2011)
8.9
/Blues rock, Psychedelic rock, Instrumental rock/
Comment: this 4-piece issue is about instrumental blues-loaded rock and roll showing up its groovy muscles and cartilages. More concretely, it used to chase relentlessly upwards and downwards most of the time while being finely psychedelic. If you like The White Stripes, and The Black Keys, the bands who have paid tribute to the Black cultural tradition in the USA this band may be your choice either.
