Theodor Zox – Pastels 1-4 (2004)

Thinner

• Techno 
• Minimal techno 
• Tech-house 
• Deep house 
• Electro-house

Comment: this is so good...this is so good how these minimal techno, tech-house and electronic propulsions are up to change incessantly places with one another. Ultimately the whole chimes like a seamless mix for late hours on a Friday. You can see a formula behind it but the formula is set out to be susceptible to changes and abandon the presumed hard core. One can perceive exquisite vibrations which constitute the glue to hold all that stuff gently together. The issue is a bit of the discography of Thinner, the legendary imprint from Germany.

Maicamia – Crazy Moon (2016)

Bandcamp

• Slowcore 
• Alternative rock 
• Experimental rock 
• Avant-rock 
• Post-rock 
• Indie rock 
• Angst rock

Comment: it has always been great fun to arrive at musical groups from Montrèal, Quebec, Canada. Maicamia is an anglophone group led by female voice. Do you remember such artists as Hrsta, Thalia Zedek? Do you remember such a group as Low? Do you remember such a group as Dream City Film Club? Do you know what will happen if to merge all these elements with each other? The result is a band called Maicamia. This is an irresistible blend of angst, angst, and once again angst. Angst is over there to get materialised and to cover a listener with a heavy and suffocating shell. With the very purpose to seal all the shit surrounding a human being. It consists of rough, slowed-down drumming as if being transmitted from a wicked rehearsal room and there are up shrill soul-stabbing guitars and enchanting chants of a female voice (by the way, the opening track is titled ironically Lambourghini Diablo). All of that is reflected on the cover either. It is possible that depression as a state of mind could be truly beautiful in art and it is a case. Holy shit. I have nothing to add to it.

The Walla Recovery – A Star, a Star (2015)

Noisetrade

Bandcamp

• Indie pop/rock 
• Alternative pop/rock 
• Conceptual 
• Chamber pop 
• Xmas songs 
• Baroque pop

Comment: they say they (as a quartet) are cello folk combo from Texas, USA. By listening to this 13-track Christmas song miscellany the statement is a partial-truth because they exploit additionally keyboards and guitars as well. Of course, the expression “cello folk” may frighten an indie music lover. It might be he/she starts to think about some rigid classical music oppressed artists or sombre Apocalyptica, or something like that. However, by listening to these fabulous new arrangements of Christmas songs and smooth permutations in chords and volatile solemn easiness it reminds starkly of Sufjan Stevens (and his set of Christmas songs being released some years ago at Noisetrade). In a word, beef up your mood with these 51 minutes on 25^th December. In fact, it would function at any time. At least the experience of mine proved it. And Jesus would like it.

Jorge Grela – Expande (2016)

Pueblo Nuevo

• Ambient 
• Musique concrète 
• Electronic music 
• Alternative 
• Field recordings 
• Glitchtronica 
• Avant-garde 
• Soundscapes 
• Experimentalism

Comment: it is nice to be back again at the discography of the Chilean imprint Pueblo Nuevo. The artist comes out from the capital of a neighbouring country, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Jorge Grela (born in 1970) provides a set of 19 minutes where one can perceive emotions filled noises, wobbly soundscapes, catchy glitches, and bouncy sound effects. In a word, let's call it emotive ambient music. The result may not have been so appealing without exploiting recorded sounds from the streets and from nature. Thanks to it the soundscape seems to be fairly expansive and broad and made open. Here it is being sophisticated and exuberant. One is the effect of another. Stunning stuff.
