dUASsEMIcOLCHEIASiNVERTIDAS - SADITREVNiSAIEHCLOcIMEsSAUd (2011)
9.1
/Free jazz, Avant-rock, Smooth jazz, Crossover, Psychedelic rock, Space rock, Experimental rock, Jazz rock, Alternative, Krautrock, Improvised music/
Comment: this project with the lengthy name and album title hails from Portugal providing a sprawling blend of free jazz and rock improvisations which in turn do range from spacey explorations and powerfully overdriving dodges to over-the-top guitar sections and noisy walls, acute brass interventions and heavy drumming torrents. In fact, on the other side, all these rough patterns are sometimes toned down with silentful contemplations which in turn are supposed to be the platforms for further brisk shuffles and incisive appearances. So the band do follow the closed circle formula so characteristic for some compartments of experimental music.
Brick Mower - Box Turtle flexi 7 (2010)
9.3
/Indie punk, Psychedelic rock, Art punk, Acid rock, Power pop, Alternative rock/
Comment: there is up a couple of tracks by Keansburg, New Brunswick-based combo Brick Mower (great name indeed) who do fuse incisive, a little bit acidic power pop propulsions and suggestive punk mixed indie aesthetics into a crafty, poignant whole. In a word, it is an instance of art punk, more profoundly, a way of how punk should be produced and performed.

Kago - Boonus EP (2012)
8.8
/Alt-folk, Punk folk, Singer-songwriter, Indie folk, Folk indie, New Weird Estonia/
Comment: Kago is Lauri Sommer (born in 1973), an Estonian poet, writer, and musician who has been releasing albums since 2003 on a small Estonian independent (folk, lo-fi, indie, experimental) label, called Õunaviks since 2003. Prior to Kago, LS had involved in various dada, ethnic, experimental and punk-defined groups. However, Ibipaio is the fifth issue of him which additionally to the physical format does include a small mp3 compilation of bucolic songs supplemented with pristine guitar handling, some treated distortions around it, though, the opening track is up at the base of the vintage chords of a keyboard. The lyrics above it used to be melancholic and contemplative ones seamlessly interlaced with surrealistic turns and eminences. The only shortage is related to the unit`s shortness. However, if you would like to enjoy the aesthetics of Kago forward while having no money or there are some reasons otherwise not to posess the main album then you could download Kago`s third album Monumentalnõi Holodilnik (2007) or his dadaistic side project (with Villem Valme) Tuljak`s Soos must vöö (2006) at the Records site.
