Moongazing Hare - The Sunderland Wreck (2012)

Comment: behind this handful of compositions is David Folkmann Drost from Denmark. His album consists mainly of lengthy electro-acoustic infiltrated folk appearances embellished with angular, resonating droning, obscure vibrations, and uplifting buzzing. Furthermore, the release includes lots of hints at neofolk, faery jangles, and pagan flute whiffs thereby keeping up its otherworldly and genuinely dreamy and mixed aesthetics.

Jeff Morton & Darcy Jean - Western Mourning (2012)

Panospria

8.7

/Post-rock, Art rock, Experimental rock, Experimental, Drone, Ambient pop, Electro-acoustic/

Comment: this set of 3 tracks used to be a peculiar composition of droning synths, guitar fingerpicks. At times these drone elements used to be mild, at times more rough, though, mostly represented in a blended way. More concretely, these bleak and minimal Casio keyboard-based elements are variegated with more lush guitar motives and amplified echo channels. Maybe it sounds surprisingly but it reminds of some albums by Durutti Column. In a nutshell, it is a pleasing outlet.

Comment: Decktonic is the nom de plume of Christian Montoya, a New York-based electro music producer. He has said he created it with KORG DS10+ and Nanoloop for iPad. At the time of creating process he was inspired by the work of Henry Homesweet, KODEK, Cheapshot, ???, HarleyLikesMusic, Anthony Seeha and Disasterpeace. However, his 10-track publication involves the elements of rusty, angular electro and more bouncy club-induced propulsions and even infantile-near primitive electronica (though, it is highly amusing and funny) and tracker music/chiptune bits and grains. These sultry synth chunks and acid techno inspired hooks are highly enjoyable. In a nutshell, the more you listen to it the more you like it (as it used to be so usual case in this way). In general, it is as well as his previous, debut album Dark Mode (2011). Actually it is even a tiny bit better.

Comment: the album with an epic name involves lots of slow paced yet noiseful progressions and mesmeric guitar walls and psychedelic flickers. But not only - Punching at the Meteor conjures up ghosts rather like an instance of demented psych-folk/blues music full of repetitive guitar gears and overdriving rasping effects. And additionally cosmic rock sonic effects. Is it krautfolk? Obviously it is. And this handful of tracks is a solid and uplifting one worth to be enjoyed for many times in a row.
