Ginnels - Mountbatten Class (2011)
/Power pop, Electronic,
Jangle pop, Alternative rock, Psychedelic rock, Shitgaze, Indie pop/
Comment: given that The
Smiths and My Bloody Valentine are being the juggernauts within the
modern/alternative pop/indie rock scene it can say the Irishmen can trash and
are able to rock our socks off. Ginnels, a Dublin-based project is a nice
exemplar of it – it oozes out much refreshing power and hortative energy to
give the listener a galvanized feel. More profoundly, the collective used to
shift in a modern rock landscape moving from power pop esque muscle
presentation and exuberant indie walkabouts with uplifting harmonic solutions to
more electronic drenched noisy templates (Kuwait)
and gritty low-key shoegaze (or just shitgaze) beams (Cold Legs) and even some Celtic ethnic music chips (Same Same, Cold Legs). There are up 8 tracks, though, all of them are
relatively short-running (the total time of 18.11). In a nutshell, the result
is straightforward yet convincing. Top notch.

Comment: Andy Nation,
Seamo Teare, and Simon Mathewson come from Southwest England to present a
smorgasbord of 12 tracks extending over 70 minutes in total. More concretely,
they have extracted some thought-provoking elements from different and mostly
peripheral musical genres to result in a mellow outlet. The listener can
perceive 60s acid folk inspired spaced-out trips, transcendent raga motives,
dada-alike vocal pastiches, knee-deep psychedelic music conjured aesthetic
freedom, 70s krautrock induced repetitiveness and high-pitched electronic
effects, and 80s post-punk-esque insolence and arrogance in full flight. By method,
however, the trio`s music can be considered rather jazz music because their
soundscape used to be in permanent motion and affording an innumerable amount
of disparate changes throughout. By kindred souls there can be drawn parallels
upon the likes of The Fall, Kemialliset
Ystävät, Gong, New Mystikal Troubadours, The Japanese Girl, early Kraftwerk
(especially the albums Kraftwerk 1,
and Kraftwerk 2), Ashtray Navigations,
Children Of The Drone, for instance. By the way, the issue was released under
Chinstrap, which is curated by a famous plunderphonics/sound collage musician, Ergo
Phizmiz. All in all, although the result is truly off-kilter, it sustains the
level throughout the course.
DannielRadall – To Make You Mine (Feat. Steffaloo) (2011)
/Poptronica, Chillwave,
Glo-fi, Funk disco, Remix, Alternative dance, Electronic pop/
Comment: Guadalajara, Mexico born DannielRadall`s 2-track issue
comprises the original track To Make You
Mine and Sun Glitter`s remix of it. However, the ditty embraces the feature
by Steffaloo whose sensitive female singing corkscrews against high-charm synth
glides and funky beats. DannielRandall does obviously draw inspiration from the
70s disco and 80s electro funk, however, merging it tightly with contemporary
cloudless chillwave-ish facets and wondrous glo-fi washes. Sun Glitter`s remix
is a low-charm version of it – it is more decelerated and subdued. In a word,
it does make difference!
