Comment: this bunch of 13 tracks within the span of 63 minutes establishes a sonic universe filled in with disparate corners, ear-catching progressions and exuberant soundscapes where the listener can enjoy mellow timbres, elemental noises, natural sounds from our world, peaky glitches, creepy drones and elliptically iterative rhythms. At times you can perceive it as if vamped up of debris. As if a soundscape being collected from the bits of sonic junkyard. Ultimately it can be said there is a sort of bold line which unites all the details and minutiae with one another in a gentle way. Of course, the palette is even richer including such elements as hypnotic dream pop (Saloize iii), sublime IDM and glitch-tinged pop (Cetus) and profound ambient/space music (Sureste (Ciudad Inacabada)) which is a positive surprise in any cases. Behind the project is the Spanish musician Sergio Sánchez. This astounding outing is a part of the discography of Pan Y Rosas Discos from Chicago, Illinois, USA.

Art School Jocks – Art School Jocks (2017)

Indie pop/rock

Comment: Art School Jocks is a female quartet from Atlanta, Georgia, USA whose music seems to be punk grounded at the first glance yet by going on you get realised it is platform for the chicks to move further to the indie scene. Ali, Deborah, Dianna, and Camille define themselves as existential basement pop band. It might be their most direct relation to punk music is bound through their critical attitude towards some racial and sex relation based concerns and even the footy sense of living pours out from the lyrics. It is sometimes said that the way to hell is pathed with good intentions. You can perceive that feel within it as well. Fortunately the pessimism is supported by solid guitar music coated with fuzzed-out vamps and dreamy glimpses. Given that this short 12-minute outing has been managed to set up a vivid and invigorating whole. The release is a part of the discographies of such labels as Quote Unquote Records, and Father/Daughter Records.
