Galeria Discos – Memorias EP (2014)





/Tech-house, Club dance, Deep house, Remix/

Comment: this 3-track issue is a decent one thanks to techno and house rhythms mixing and roomy and lush synthesizer based drawings atop. The first track Hervor is a solid example of deep house music – incorporating a soulful touch and velvety vision to it and Memorias on the other side is clearly a tech-house issue. There is also represented M.A.L.A remix of the last one merging predominant tech-house elements with some deep house glimpses. The issue is released on a Medellin, Colombia based label, Monofònicos whose discography includes many superb music issues. It is very recommended for those people who like sapid club dance music.

The Late Virginia Summers – TLVS (2006)




/Lo-fi, Ambient, Cowbell indie, Drone rock, Post-rock, DIY, Live recording/

Comment: Redstarcommunity is a Swedish record label having been existing since 2001 and having the discography of 22 issues so far. TLVS was 11th release which consisted of elemental crackled noises, graceful glockenspiel snippets, spaced-out drones, ambient music inspired reverberating soundscapes and improvised noodling here and there. Emotionally are outstanding those moments when epic guitar chords are put into delayed loops while being accompanied by sublime glockenspiel fabric and droning bold cello keys (Almost Asleep, Part One). You Are What Gets Me In Trouble was recorded in live at The Nanci Raygun in Richmond, USA. Grossly, it is a lo-fi sort of post-rock/experimental indie approach produced by Joe Morgan & Nathan McGlothlin.      

Abisales – XDCS (2013)




/Post-rock, Experimental rock, Power pop, Art rock/

Comment: The Còrdoba, Argentina-based combo`s instrumental 5-track issue is an enchanting listening time because of involving an innumerable amount of key changes and mood shifts throughout the course for the listener`s pleasure. More concretely, restless at times even roaring guitar patterns and riffs are cunningly varicoloured with cinematic keyboard based vignettes and sonic effects. Indeed, power pop meets art rock in a tumultuous yet picturesque way. Imagine yourself walking in the forest in a cold winter day while sun is arising and making the clouds appearing yellowish orange.           

Alarm Pressure – CON (2008)




/Psychedelic rock, Free jazz, Improvised noise, Synth rock, Leftfield, Improvised music, Experimental rock, Drone rock, Acid rock, Electronic/

Comment: Alarm Pressure is a duo (Den Mitchell, and Nick Acorne) from Kharkiv, Ukraine whose 8-track debut issue was an amalgamation of acid drenched sustained noises and synth improvisations abundantly filled with many key changes and moody dodges. At times natural instruments are traded for fully electronic progressions. May be it is not correct to name it a branch of rock music at all because of having obviously inspired by free jazz and improvised noise either. The LP can be compared with the Chicago-based experimental jazz scene (Isotope 217, Chicago Underground Duo). The result is fascinating and suggestive.
