Terrible Terrible - Get The New Computer (2015)

Jamendo

Bandcamp

• Alternative pop
• Indie soul
• Hypnagogic pop
• Art pop
• Chillwave
• Experimental pop
• Chamber pop
• Glo-fi
• Electronic
• Dream pop
• Doo wop
• Indie rock

Comment: I am very convinced to assume that New Jersey, USA based combo Terrible Terrible is one of the best acts I have ever found at Jamendo, the France-based free music platform. Jack Browning, Mike Tarnofsky, Steve Kelly, and Mark Bucci have issued a couple of releases (Fail Better, and Get The New Computer) under the French imprint though their very first issues Hteet Gnillup, and Pulling Teeth can be found out at Bandcamp. Get The New Computer is not about machines unless they are talking about very sensitive machines because their music is thoroughly soulful, poignantly dreamy and replete with lush arrangements wherein crafty electronic undercurrents are inseparably mixed with Tarnofsky`s daydreamy vocal delivery, shuffled rhythms and artsy guitar handling.  All of that is saturated with something of a hyper-realist feel as if an interface to amalgamate baroque pop with glo-fi/chillwave touch, to mix up slowcore with hypnagogic attitude. If one wants to go back in time then she/he could hear doo wop drenched easiness and effortlessness in harmony structures. If you are searching some more known artists to draw parallel within it then you could find out some similarities with such projects as Atlas Sound, Gravenhurst, Grizzly Bear, Beat Detectives. In a word, it is an absolutely flawless effort.

Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde – Stained Glass (2013)

Sirona-Records

• Post-punk
• Neo-progressive rock
• Alternative rock
• Synth rock
• Electro-rock
• Crossover
• Dance rock

Comment: this notch takes on a borderline of such styles as post-punk, progressive rock, symphonic rock, electro-rock/synth/dance rock. To add all these elements into one melting pot at a time it is not very ordinary even today at the time of postmodernist approaches and practices wherein different styles are crossed and recontextualized into something familiar yet different. All the compositions are instrumental and could be quite contemplative (Let It Burn!). Many patterns of synths, many patterns of guitars, many patterns of rhythms are interlaced with each other into the organic whole. It is the one-man-project of Maxim Khorsun from Simferopol, Crimea peninsula, Ukraine which is occupied by the Russian Federation at the moment.

Math - Nature EP (2006)

Poni Republic

Bandcamp

/Indietronica, Lo-fi, DIY, Electronic pop, Singer-songwriter, Folktronica, Alternative/

Comment: Math is the project of Kevin Steinhauser whose 7-track issue is an amusing travel through a spectre of diverse sounds, naïve aesthetic and a huge amount of fantasy. It is filled with the laugh both in a direct and indirect sense. The issue had been produced in the mid of the 00s when such sort of music was quite ubiquitous to be issued for the listeners. More profoundly, electronic propulsions and digital hisses and concrete music noises are mixed up with the twangs of folkloric instruments (mandolin) and glockenspiel chords, however, all of that it subjected to the DIY/lo-fi aesthetic. You can be sure many bands worldwide were then greatly influenced by the positive energy of Animal Collective. It is nice music from the Providence, Rhode Island, USA being issued under the then-Hugo Chavez ruled Venezuela based label Poni Republic. The point is that a cultural bridge is much easier to create for than doing it though political/diplomatic channels.
