Das Hobos - Memphis Buchloe (2012)

Camomille

8.9

/Experimental folk, Funk rock, Indie rock, Blues, Roots music, Dance rock, Soul, Alternative/

Comment: this set of 7 songs is a refreshing drift between folk-y and blues-y moods, between acoustic and electric, though, all of that is channelized in its own way by this German trio, called Das Hobos (also known as Rhythm Police, the indie version of Leroy Schlimm, Frank Nägele and Tom Simonetti). For instance, Harlem Master is still an indie-tinged, more concretely, a little indietronic jam. However, my favorite track is 888 which sounds like a modern version of American Primitivism tightly mixed up with Bowie-esque funk grooves and soul vibes In fact, the same can be said about Toy Of Toy. The issue is released on Montrèal-based label Camomille Records, headed by Vincent Fugère aka Muhr.

Bandcamp

9.7

/Post-rock, Alternative, Epic, Ambient rock, Avant-rock, Cowbell indie, Experimental rock/

Comment: believe me, it is a formidable album full of crashing crescendos and otherworldly beautiful passages. You know I like post-rock, though, generally I do not have faith in post-rock anymore. Yet, by listening to this 3-track (in total it is wrapped up in 56 minutes) it reminds of the experience I got in a day 12 years ago by listening to Godspeed You! Black Emperor`s Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven (Kranky). More profoundly, majestic structures are interlaced with (so-called cowbell) indie-tinged bucolicness which in turn are adorned with repetitive noises and sublime electronic effects. Only some issues on Future Recordings had had such impact on me. Moreover, there is impellent density between static and dynamic structures and elements which provides impulses to convert its power into rock and ambient appearances. As you have already figured out it is emotionally thoroughly evocative and shaking. In a word, it is an instance of rock music spotted on the absolute.

Lolishit - Delicious Lolicore (2010)

Lastfm

8.6

/Lolicore, Noise electro, Hardcore techno, Breakcore, J-pop, Primitronica, Anime/ 

Comment: this batch of 6 pieces consists of heavy breakcore and J-pop and anime mixed sounds full of profound bass terror frequencies, electro-tinged drills, and rapidly changing moods and infantile babbling. In a word, it is genuinely tight, chaotic and messy where it is quite problematic to find out the centre of this propulsion. On the other side, why should we?

The Brainhole - 2332 (2012)

NoEcho

9.1

/Synth rock, Abstract, Hip-hop, Avant-electronica, Alternative, Experimentalism, Techno rock, Industrial rock, Electro rock, EBM/

Comment: Krzysztof Kłubo, and Dawid Portasz do mix together noisy electro(nica)/EBM with more or less rigid and hirsute industrial/techno/synth rock templates. Sometimes the listener can perceive slight nu-metal and demented hip-hop appearances at the maze of beats and synthesized layers (Liquid Spice, and Scorch, respectively). However, this 12-track album will be ended up in the vein of abstract, repetition-heavy hisstronica (Spectre of Albion). Indeed, this galvanized, undulating notch is produced radically otherwise in regard to the ideology of the release (except The Reverend Ascends which is a fascinating dub and electronica blended monster). This stylistically provoking album is issued on an experimental label, called NoEcho Records.
