Comment: slow down and go further. Slow down and show up your inclination for new conquers within the sonic art. Your very inclination for developing an area wherein minimalism meets dark hued and deeply immersed ambient and majestic post-classical buildups full of less and more remarkable shades and distinctive borders. Of course, additional elements are also represented to be added to the mix (some field recording and glitchy compartments). Moreover, you can follow classical drift between noise and silence, between an existing and Nothing. Aside the metaphysical point of view it might seem like an endless iteration within a set of determined particles yet I have to admit the impression of the whole exceeds the set of its particles due to existence of synergy between the different parts of the whole. The word "between" does mean a gentle following one part or section by another because it is focused on horizontally parallel moving. The gentle outing is a part of the discography of an imprint, Petroglyph Music.

FailedSitcom – Of Life's Declivity (2010)

Daydream Generation

• Lo-fi 
• New Weird America 
• Free folk 
• Freak folk 
• Weird folk 
• DIY 
• Electronic 
• Singer-songwriter

Comment: this bunch of 11 short-running tracks represents a modern folk scene called New Weird America being seminal throughout the 00s. At the end of the decade one of the juggernauts of this style Animal Collective went into clear-cut poppy electronic music so you can see influences coming from the previous years before it. Audibly there are up plucked strings mixed up with sublime male singing, mellifluous glockenspiel chords and sweet electronic progressions. Its rustic and simplistic approach reminds of music under such DIY-based platforms as CLLCT, Daydream Generation, Quixodelic Records and Rack And Ruin Records. By famous kindred souls this Sam Durkin's outing can be compared with CocoRosie, and Vashti Bunyan. Much has changed since then but we can remember for it with bittersweet nostalgia. Its lyrical message can be pessimistic but musically it is a pleasing experience. Get his another issue, called Her Blameless Mystery as well on the same link.

Comment: Alternative facts are something related to the term "post-truth" being emerged out after the last presidential run in the USA. Of course, it is primarily being used against Donald Trump though its practice could have harked back to the beginning of political practice I guess. In other words, some governors tend to be authoritarians, many of them are governed by bureaucracy and financial power though faking out as if the representatives of their nation. I have no exact idea is it either inspired by Donald Trump or about making politics or democracy they pretend for in general but it is said in a very critical way anyway. By my side, the media is totally fucked up and the best way to handle this is just to ignore it. It is filled in with propaganda and half-truths, the so-called alternative facts. Some of the visionaries like Stephen Hawking, and Elon Musk are talking either of rubbish things or annoying trivialities of which you did know before or topics which are clearly unreachable or hypotheses which cannot be verified. You are sleeping you do not want to believe. This 11-notch consists mainly of remakes and remixes of Alternative Facts, the first two of them are instrumental ones (at least in my music player) and some tracks do have a little in common with hip-hop and rap (that`s OK in the face of monotonousness). For example, Google Knows (both versions). The outing is a part of the discography of blocSonic. Behind the project is New York-based Regenerated Headpiece.
