The Smallest Bones - Cross Mountain (2010)

Bandcamp

 

9.4

/Post-rock, Experimental indie, Dream folk, Folktronica, Indie folk, Art-folk, Folk indie, Post-pop, Alternative/

Comment: this is a blissful experimental indie/post-rock release which used to talk to you without words and syllables /except the secong half of the last track). More profoundly, it is filled in with highly harmonious guitar progressions-arpeggios and ascending, a little haunting chords which in turn are embellished with slight dust of concrete/street sounds and silentful rolling of synthetic marimbas and flourishing electronica ultimately having a vast amount of power to enthrall the listener. Behind the project is Julia Kotowski who is being known as Entertainment For The Braindead in the first place. The fabulous result indeed. 

Hazardous Guadalupe - H.G (2003/2009)

FMA

Spleen Coffin

8.8

/Improvised music, Psychedelic folk, Free folk, Psych-folk, Avant-garde, Experimentalism/

Comment: it can be labeled as an instance of freaking folk and improvised jamming which consists of the squeaks of undecipherable instruments, psyched-out guitar twangs and trance-induced drumming thereby drifting somewhere in between 60`s psych-folk and kind of 00`s New Weird and on the othe rside between acoustic primitivism and more treated vistas. Indeed, this 11-piece outlet is a gritty aspiration to search for some genuine synergical borders. Anyway, If I think of the kindred souls of the group such bands as Vierivä Viiksiportieeri, and Uton come to mind. 

Split - II / Colateral Soundtrack (2011)

  

A.M.P-RECS

9.3

/Ambient, Soundscapes, Minimal, Experimental electronica, Epic, Dystopbient, Conceptual/  

Comment: a pair of lengthy ambient tracks which used to soothe and release the listener`s blocked-up mind. Sometimes it chirps like being closely related to some dystopic, horrible places, on the other side it sounds like being an intimate state of mind during the endless space trip. The compositions do include more abrasive aspects (hisses, microscopic noise, feedback-laden bits), however, thus successfully variegating the moods and soundscapes of the release. The second track is a more loop-based and fine-grained propulsion which in turn contains the epic dimension. This mesmerizing result is issued on the Mexican experimental label A.M.P-RECS.    

[Teaser of the day] Wouter Bruys – This is Guitar Music

Eric Delay - Four Moments (2012)

Fuselab

9.0

/Experimental electronica, IDM, Ambient techno, Downtempo, Mood music/

Comment: Eric Delay aka Silent Cuts (born in 1986) is a musician from Ulyanovsk, Russia who offers up four sonic episodes which will be finished off at the length of 11.30. More concretely, it is a honest, lush blend of gritty brain techno rhythms and downtempo vibes, lambent IDM progressions and tropical electronica. In a word, this is a set of masterfully produced tracks indeed. 

Wrong Way Home - Weedway (2009)

Black Mess

9.5

/Dystopbient, Avant-techno, Industrial techno, Abstract electronica, Industrial illbient, Dark ambient/  

Comment: this 5-piece issue starts off with the kind of abstract, underwater techno which will be followed by more misanthropic, industrial-soaked notches which are full of evil-sounding frequencies, out-of-Earth vibrations and glitch-hued dystopic thudding. However, it conjures up lots of elusive, otherworldly objects of the perception. Amazing drift indeed.
