Pigeons & The Insane Porridgemakers – Le Voyage (2009)



  • Psychedelic rock 
  • Noise rock 
  • Avant-rock 
  • Free jazz 
  • Experimental rock 
  • Dada music 
  • Freeformfreakout

Comment: by watching the narcotic and dreamy mixed cover print of this 12-track issue it can be admitted it is a fine introduction to the outing. Indeed, it is full of psychedelic plateaus, the snippets of free jazz and airy lounge boogie jamming and other insane approaches both by lyrical and sonic side. All the lyrics are sung in very Russian and the content of it it mostly phantasmagorical and surrealistic. I guess if such an album were produced approximately 80 years ago the author of it would be Salvador Dali, or Joan Mirò or somebody from the Russian Futurism movement. However, the aforementioned celebrities are indirect authors as are the forefathers of the Dada art movement and Italian noise artists like the brothers Russolo because the influences of them are clearly discernible within it. More profoundly, it is a discourse between madness, and order, between correlated elements, indeterminacy and incontinence (in many ways it can be thought). The issue is a part of the discography of a legendary Moscow-based imprint, Clinical Archives. The favourite track of mine is the final piece St. Abbas because it is predominant by the shrill and slamming bass plateau being introduced by spoken words and surrounded by loose sonic effects. Fabulous outing. 

MOLNAR⎮TAKACS⎮kettenegy (2016)


  • Improvised music 
  • Experimental 
  • Avant-garde
  • Noise rock 
  • Experimentalism
  • Avant-rock 
  • Art rock

Comment: Zola Molnar (guitar), and Rajmund Takacs (bass) from Hungary do explore something stunningly noisy being at the same time also exhilarating. It is an artsy splash between calm arpeggios on a bass and a guitar to cross over the borders of sublime noise music. Fine improvised snippets and varicoloured timbres are up there to be merged into three accomplished compositions. It can be said the result as a whole is certainly much bigger than the sum of its initial parts. In other words, it is surprising to get a fine outing made up of a bass and a guitar only. Very cool by any means. It is probably one of the most weird title of an album being ever represented at RMH.

Emicaeli – PoPs (2016)



  • No Wave 
  • Alternative rock 
  • Indie rock 
  • Experimental rock 
  • Avant-rock 
  • Math rock 
  • Avant-prog 
  • Hardcore 
  • Art rock 
  • Ambient rock 
  • Post-metal

Comment: in principle, it is a sort of punk rock. Something which does have similarities with it. In a refracted and deformed way, though. One can perceive the energy of it, madness of it, compulsion of it though all of that is magnified through powerful lenses of more artsy approaches. More profoundly, hardcore meets math rock meets progressive fragments meets post-metal meets whatever. It chimes like a perfect mirror or ironic comment to reflect the decay and shortsightedness of human kind. It is a final glimpse of a deranged mind. Indeed, it is your pop music, do not hesitate it. It is the group`s fifth issue. In a word, the result is a staggering mind fuck being issued on the Brazilian imprint Sinewave.

Feminine – Lorelei (2016)



  • Indie 
  • Alternative pop 
  • Indietronica 
  • Art pop 
  • Experimental pop 
  • Electronic

Comment: I am very pleased to be back at the discography of La bèl because the Italy-based imprint has always been inclined to surprise with something having never been within its discography. Feminine's Lorelei, the 10-notch issue, is a stunning listening experience due to crystal clear sonic plateaus on one side being saturated with electronic glitches and sublime noises and some oppressed droning on the other hand. A Ghost Too, the composition featuring Laura Loriga, includes the shrieks of seagulls. If you are going across an empty field being surrounded by cold wind and dust you are feeling the impact of the song more remarkably. It is somehow eerie and appealing at the same time. All the whole is epic and artsy at the same time. Make indie great again.
