Comment: in recent days Chicago, Illinois, US-based artist Bryn Martin aka Bryyn (also being known as the frontman of Pinkle and the Polygons) issued a couple of albums. In Hiding is a crystal clear folk album which gets inspiration from the best sources of an American music history and tradition. It is not the first album by him. Vice versa, he has been a highly prolific artist during the last decade for cheering us with more and less whimsical electronic tinged folk releases. As I said already it is a crystal clear issue yet it does not mean he does not employ electronic devices and effects for his own sake. All these instruments are up there to have been measured out just as optimally and poignantly as it is needed to conquer one's senses and heart. The listener can breathe in and out in a free manner because all the music seems to come directly from an effortless cloud, from liberated uncivilised terrains, from somewhere we used to subconsciously longing for. It is idyllic, it is rustic, it is picturesque. There can be drawn parallels upon such an artist as Sufjan Stevens yet it is not a serious objection to assume it as being one of the best issues in 2017. The outing is a bit of the immense platform of Jamendo.

K4mmerer – Pixeled (2016)

Jamendo

• EDM 
• Electro pop 
• Electronic pop 
• Ambient pop 
• Dance pop 
• Post-disco 
• Hi-NRG

Comment: K4mmerer has been an unbelievably prolific artist since 2008 having released 36 issues on Jamendo. Pixeled is one of them amongst the whole drifting subtly between gentle ambient pop and more crispy electro pop and straightforward electronic dance music rhythms imbued with highly galvanized frequencies. Fortunately the listener can enjoy a more broad picture in comparison to the one described above so the result is multicoloured and effective ultimately. It makes highly sense. Mostly it is instrumental, at times the artist exploits found sounds (indeed, birds are chirping). It is a balanced drift between your dream centred sensations and body related impulses. I truly feel myself fascinated by those sublime jazzy progressions and irresistibly dreamy synthesised chords being followed by the aggressive beats at Faulty. In a word, it is a post disco album in the pre apocalyptic world. Given that it is an instance of prefix pop in a fascinating manner.

Tana – H (2009)

Les Diks Qui Sautent

• Improvised music 
• Avant-garde 
• Experimentalism 
• Ambient 
• Micronoise 
• Leftfield 
• Electronic music 
• Freeformfreakout
• Epic 
• Spoken word 
• Electro-acoustic 
• Ambient noise 
• Space rock 
• Avant-rock 
• Experimental rock 
• Post-psychedelic electronica

Comment: this 12-track issue can be considered an example of improvised music but for sure it is way too wide umbrella to get into a more detailed contact with it. You can hear undetermined sounds from different angles full of effects and various timbres and differing intensities. From rough metallic clanging and burbling electronic noises and gloomy smouldering beneath the upper music layers to extended guitar riffs and explorations of the instrument`s inner life and refined electronic glass bead games to more light-hearted and exalting psychedelic ambient progressions which may sound downright poppy with regard to the first mentioned aspects. The issue will be finished in a very fine epic key with Blanche. In a word, it chimes like a witty barbaric sonic attack in the midst of polished pop music instances yet being enormously more intriguing and interesting. The enchanting issue is a part of the discography of such an infernal platform as Les Diks Qui Sautent. We don't forget it's hellish discography, we will back to it soon.
