Comment: Aydio`s 4-track issue chimes like an one produced by a baggy/Madchester musician whose ambition was to create something a little bit different, however, having no intention to get rid of his/her old habits. More profoundly, intriguing guitar shapes, reversed effects, doleful glimpses and reverberating patterns skim its rhythm-driven and hiss laden surface which in turn having hints at burbly 90s indie dance music (as I previously said already), loose down-tempo frequencies. Indeed, the result is fabulous and fulfilled.        

Matteo Gomez – Nudoman EP (2014)

Unfoundsound

/Techno, Tech-house, House/

Comment: Matteo Gomez`s a handful of tracks is a delicate blend between techno and house propulsions which are embellished with some industrial inspired sonic bits at times. There are up two possibilities right now - the whole sounds like one track having no eyes and time to turn its head to the right or to the left side (if you are listening to it as an instance of muzak). On the other side, if you are listening to it while being in a more concentrate mood then you are able to perceive lots of nuances between these tracks. For instance, you can perceive those really hypnotic rhythmic hooks on the finishing track, and the lush motif progression on the starting track.           

Los Subwoofus – El23 (2007)

/Avant-pop, Leftfield, Noise rock, Experimental indie, Krautrock, Chill out, Electro-indie, New Age/

Comment: actually it is quite problematic to categorize El23 because of having hints at different directions and compartments. It is simultaneously poppy and cutting-edge thereby reminding of such combos as Stereolab, Pram, and Broadcast, for instance. However, Los Subwoofus` concept is generally a little bit harsher and more noise music reflecting and on the other side showing up more skidding chill out, filter-heavy house music, Latin influenced and New Age music drenched music (more concretely, talking about the ending track Un Tema). In detail, this 10-track issue does have flirtation with glistening analogue synth driven pop music, kraut inspired rhythmic power, howling and soothing space music edges, noisy climaxes, sampledelic insights, big beat and breaks centred cadence labyrinths and even adding hirsute scratches and hip-hop paces to the mix. Listen to it and try to catch this weird beast!

Ester Poland – Sleipnir (2014)

Wooden Sherpa

/Post-metal, Kraut-metal, Psychedelic metal, Epic, Experimental metal, Noise metal/

Comment: although Ester Poland`s album is tagged as doom metal it is actually a little more or than just doom metal. It can be considered an example of metal music played with the approach of krautrock. More concretely, the Finnish duo`s (T. Vatanen, and L. Väinölä) album consists of 4 long-running compositions (up to 20 minutes!) each of them can be considered a chapter on its own. The whole sounds truly epically due to massive and incisive guitar riffs, static drones, psychedelic noises, and epic moaning full of spellbinding power and paralyzing noise. Sleipnir is obviously one of the best metal albums in 2014 so far.        

Кровавая Соска & Колхозный Jazz-PUNK & vzlproj & ЭкшN & Fecvlt & Бригада Жестокого Романтика - Жанна Фриске Должна Сдохнуть (2014)

Popsakal

/Primitive music, Eurodance, Harsh noise, Digital hardcore, Conceptual/

Comment: indeed, this 6-track album is a conceptual one because of being inspired by the fatal brain cancer (glioblastoma multiforme) of Žanna Friske, a Russian pop singer and TV host. On the other side, by knowing very well hatred and misanthropic and anti-pop concepts of Popsakal Records it is not surprising at all to be resulted in mocking the singer in a serious way. Musically, it embraces different genres – from harsh digital hardcore to plundering gimcrack Eurodance pop snippets (which were so popular in the 90s in Russia) to mutilate it with pitch effects and creating a frantic, one sample based rhythm ridden track, and a hard rock riff based track. The album also reflects upon rage against the sluts and fondness for hinting at scatophilia in their compositions. In a word, this pill would be very devastating for Žanna.
