The Gumbo Ya-Ya's - On My Mind

Björk - Live @ Great Hall Of Science, Queens, New York, USA, NY (02-12-2012)




/Electronic pop, Art pop, Singer-songwriter, Avant-folk, Live session, Art folk/

Comment: Icelandic diva Björk`s gig includes 19 tracks, most of them are taken from the album Biophilia (2011) which was produced by exploiting more or less conventional instruments (tablet computer, using a system of applications, Tesla coil, harp, sharpsicord). Although there were performed some of her most known compositions (Hyperballad, You`ve Been Flirting Again) most ones were related to her late period issues. The stylistic range was wide – extending from grandiose electronic pop to more harp-driven, Borealis-sheeny folk progressions. As we already have figured out Björk is an event irrespective of how she is involved in. Listen to it and let it to overwhelm you.  

Rickolus – Coyote and Mule (2010)




/College rock, Indie rock, Americana, Shoegaze, Alternative rock, Chiptune, Electronic pop, Primitronica/

Comment: Richard Colado aka Rickolus` 6-track issue embraces contrasty facets by stylistic consideration. It starts off with a spaced-out, shoegaze-y tumult which will be softened into organ-driven college rock and gentle Americana glimpses in next compositions. However, the last tracks are already measured in electronic terms. The finishing one Fantasy and Lips is fairly startling because of taking on a primitive, doleful progression by revealing the artist`s love against chiptune/tracker music. The issue is released on Noise Horror, an American tape label providing shelter for such combos as Chappaquiddick, Felipe Casey Cardona, Dairy, DOTH, no one, Dream Love, Critter, and Scram Brothers.              

Giorgos Stefanou - Internal Sonic Pathway (2008)




/Microtonal, Abstract, Experimental electronica, Musique concrete, Electro-acoustic, Avant-garde, Experimentalism, Acousmatics, Glitchtronica/

Comment: Greek composer Giorgos Stefanou`s album consists formally of two blocks – the first of them is called HrznHue, and the latter Abstract Concrete. However, musically the whole chimes in a restraint way, based on subtle acoustic and electronic explorations which are spiced up with diverse sounds (digitally harsh sonic shards, majorly austerely presented glitch-y bits, more fathomable concrete sounds). Frequently this 8-track issue seems to be barely holding on within earshot or just providing mere, blurredly marked soundscapes. The release is issued on Petcord, a record label for a more sophisticated kind of electronic music.
