Damn Robot! - Jasurp (2012)
9.2
/Post-rock, Experimental rock, Ambient rock, Epic/
Comment: Damn Robot is a duo consisting of the brothers Mark, and Tim Honey who in turn have associated themselves with such groups as Good Weather For An Airstrike, Inachus, and Oceanus. Their 12-track issue is up there at the base of beatifically flourishing and eruptive guitar walls and pronounced drum sequences which now and then are varied with pleasing female singing by Alex Fawcett, lofty orchestrated vapors, more ambient-soaked gliding, programmed beats, some electronic effects and haphazardly appeared spoken word snippets. On the other side, there are some exceptions either. For instance, The One Who Knocks is managed in a way to embrace the elements of profoundly haunting soul music backed up by discrete electric piano-relied chords. By its majesty Pulp would be proud of it, for instance. In a word, it is an ordinary example of a post-rock psyche existing recently. Very good listening indeed.
Indian Wells - Night Drops (2012)
9.2
/Alternative, Indietronica, Electronic pop, Epic, Downtempo, Leftfield, Chilltronica, Glo-fi, Chill out/
Comment: the Italy-based Indian Wells is a synth-relied artist who loves sophisticated yet somehow soothing rhythm patterns mixed up with stepwise ascending ethereal motives and glacial whiffs. Nevertheless, the music seems to be an instrumental and quite anonymous one therefore allowing for the listener to find out her/his own corner somewhere. Of course, there are some moments where Indian Wells stands for more brooding sounds and incisive bits. In addition to it there are up some snippets revealing the artist`s fondness for tennis game as similarly as its name hints at it.
