Chinese Cookie Poets – ■ (2014)
/No Wave, Experimental rock,
Free jazz, Avant-rock, Improvised music, Electro-rock, Alternative dance/
Comment: Chinese Cookie Poets is a Rio De Janeiro, Brazil-based combo who has issued some albums with a spicy touch of No Wave and improvisation based templates. This album hints at black square which was a symbol spawned by the geometric abstract art pioneer Kazimir Malevich. This time CCP`s 13-track issue crosses more evidently than ever before experimental tendencies with dance rock propulsions full of synergic impulses and vivid incantations. Bold bass lines are interlaced with electronically drenched noises and elongated impulses over there. One of the best albums in 2014.
Deepfunk – Mistakes Are Blue (2014)
/Krautrock, Electronic pop, Synth pop, Alternative/
Comment: by listening to
this couple of tracks it reminds of the Krautrock legend Kraftwerk because of
exploiting those slowly meandering harmony progressions and mid-tempo
electronic synth cadences. Furthermore, it can even say it is somehow epic and
majestic despite (or thanks to) its mechanical shell. Indeed, there is up a
refined relationship between sublime rhythms and beatific melodies which
revolve in a spiral way returning and fading away again.
w.x – Certain Species (2011)
/Experimental electronica,
Ambient, Avant-electronica, Drone, Electronic pop/
Comment: this 3-track
album starts off with swaying and beeping synthesised effects, microtonal sonic
fabrics, industrial-tinged dizzy echoes and hypnotic ambient-alike hovers atop
(quite reminiscent the aesthetics of an early period Kraftwerk). Upon it the
release goes on in the same direction filled with majestic droning, oneiric
noises and semi tones which are there to win over eventually. It is quite
simple but mind-blowing by a producer from Winsconsin, USA.
Tomas Nordström – Untitled (2004)
/Electro pop, Alternative
dance, Techno pop, Robot pop, Covers, Chiptune, Autotune/
Comment: The Swede Tomas Nordström`s 2-track issue is
based on cover versions (Kylie Minogue, and Kelis). Minogue`s Slow is airy and natural thanks to Chill`s sensual yet self-confident vocal
delivery. The robot pop meets soul music. This should have reached a hit
status. Kelis` Milkshake is a remarkably
more autotuned and chip bomb loaded fresco. I like those primitive yet fairly catchy
sonic templates beneath the vocal lines delivering a dynamic touch to the whole.
In a word, it is a highly commendable issue from the year 2004.
