Warchalking – Diplomancy (2013)

Daydream Generation

Bandcamp

• Indie rock 
• Alternative rock 
• Blues rock 
• Psychedelic rock 
• Americana

Comment: there are up 13 tracks clocking in at a 40 minute being released under such platform as Daydream Generation being closely related to another platform, Quixodelic Records and now defunct CLLCT (oh yeah, I miss all the music being ever released under CLLCT). The platforms have been existed to bring varicoloured music to the world. From alt-folk/indie-folk to New Weird America and space pop to lo-fi and DIY-tinged experimental pop. Unfortunately I have not yet listened to Warchalking`s two previous albums before it but there is said it embraces the drums and a bass guitar for the first time. Before it the project was just Kris Baranovic, a man with an acoustic guitar. A first thing you can perceive on it this is power (read: electricity) added to the mix though you can clearly perceive acoustic guitar induced stumming on it. At times it is Americana-tinged, at times it is the sort of adult oriented rock, at times it is psychedelic, at times it is blues rock coloured. It is a nice listening.

The Bordellos – The Bordello underground tape vol 5 (2017)

Bandcamp

• Drone rock 
• Alternative rock 
• Indie rock 
• Psychedelic rock 
• Garage rock

Comment: for me, any of The Bordellos` subsequent issues is a special event. This is the fifth tape by the St Helens, English-based combo and one has no chance to get disappointed. And having had no chance to get disappointed with regard to The Bordellos` aesthetics so far. At Temperature Drop [wa12 radio session] it starts off with a slowed-down organ droning accompanied by the lyrics chanted by Dan Shea reminding slightly of Mozza`s own. Indeed, we`ll crumble into dust. That`s the fact. All the thing depends on a certain person`s strength is he ready to reach new goals or is he obsessed and be morbidly overwhelmed. In other words, it a man`s fight with his/her own. Take in Prozac, take in Xanax. On the other side, at Sun Storm [Brian vocal] chimes like a version of a decelerated Jason Pierce providing hints at Ian Curtis either. I'm A Man [version 1] is a wild mix of decimating garage rock and Tex-Mex tendencies being obviously the most challenging track within it. I guess there are up not enough tracks in the world being driven by harmonica, and in this case the instrument is very furious. It is followed up a tranquil ballad called Autumn Grey. But you should not be suspicious altogether – it is a ballad of The Borellos` on its own terms. In a nutshell, it is a short yet multi-faceted issue which seems to be a honest outing because of following the human nature. 

More Material ‎– Snow Owls For A Better China (2004)

NORTHAMERICANHARDCORE

• Hardcore 
• Screamo 
• Alternative rock 
• Electro-metal
• Technical metal 
• Alternative metal 
• Harsh noise 
• Trash metal

Comment: it may be a sort of indie rock but it is certainly in the terms of a record label called NORTHAMERICANHARDCORE. More profoundly, it is based on aggressive guitar riffs, anxiety fuelled vocal and screaming mixed lines, incisive electronics and slightly haphazard drumming around it. It is not fake, it is lively true. It starts off with a math rock tinged pattern to progress slowly into something harsher and suffocating. In fact, I cannot resist such sort of thrusting yet somewhat controllable dementia. Indeed, a listener can often perceive mechanical patterns behind this tumultous firework. The final minute is only dedicated to penetrating harsh noise. There are up 5 tracks to be clocked in at a 20 minute. The overwhelming issue is the 26th release in the discography of the imprint.  

F600 – Dos Puertas y un Puente para una Banda Sonora (2016)

Pueblo Nuevo

• Electro-acoustic 
• Avant-garde 
• Improvised music 
• Experimentalism 
• Post-industrial 
• Techno

Comment: if to compare F600`s previous issue At Home Like a Tourist (2015, Pueblo Nuevo) to his recent one the new one is a little bit different case. At At Home Like a Tourist the listener could enjoy dub techno, ambient, electro pop, dubstep, and electro pop patterns but the recent one is wrapped up in electro-acoustic reverberations and incisive digitalized sounds. Indeed, it is also a rhythmic case but it is definitely different. It is a sort of abstract techno if the rhythms start to take shape. At times the sounds are boosted with thick, low frequency-ranged drilling synths. By the way, the album consists of two long tracks with total extent of a 32 minute. Similarly to the artist`s previous issue the recent one is a part of the discography of Pueblo Nuevo. 

Nunun – Inner (2017)

Acustronica

• Post-rock 
• Indietronica 
• Experimental rock 
• Ambient rock 
• Improvised music

Comment: after a span of five years and the album Seven Mirrors the duo Nunun (Cesare Discepoli – guitar, effects, and Massimo Discepoli – drums) are back again with a 32-minute issue called Inner. Partly it is improvised music, partly it seems to be a determined outing wherein one can enjoy spacey landscapes where shaky sounds of the drums and drum kits are mixed up with volatile synthesised strings and over-driven guitar chords. Of course, it is just a main line on the issue but one can discover more templates which used to describe the release. Murky moods are variegated with more silver-tinged lines, slowed-down compositions are to be replaced by more fast-paced numbers. The issue is a part of the discography of Acustronica. A solid issue.

Lokom – Nyctalope Ponies (2016)

Abstrakt Reflections

• Post-dubstep 
• Electronic music 
• Experimental electronica 
• Alternative 
• Rhythmic noise 
• Techno 
• Drill and bass

Comment: this bunch of tracks is an intriguing combinations of refined rhythms and airy layers atop as if a whiff coming out from outer space to remedy our existential pain and physical finiteness. Despite its rhythmical complexity and bass frequencies it can be said it is beautiful and even beatific. Even rhythmical noise impulses and extended sway between the stereo channels at Symbiose Anatomique are appealing features. Its harshness is not repulsive at all. Tiny glitches, drilling drones, signal-alike physical perceptions, microscopic noises, electronic effects are up there to add an extra colour to the melting pot. And it is an intriguing melting pot by any means. By rhythmical side it is mostly an interface to fuse together post-dubstep and drill and bass tendencies. Emotionally those yearning echoes do impose a hefty impact upon the listener. The issue is a part of the discography of Abstrakt Reflections.
