Ana Bogner – Multiple Proportions (2015)




  • Singer-songwriter 
  • Art pop 
  • Drone pop 
  • No Wave 
  • Avant-garde 
  • Experimental pop 
  • Minimalism

Comment: Ana Bogner is an artist from Berlin, Germany whose 4-notch outing had been released on Headphonica. By listening to it I can imagine she is a previous punk who has made many further steps on to land in that uncanny, deeply inside twisted whole. She used to sing in a decelerated mode about her demons, blurred surrealistic dreams, internal battles regarding life and love being backed up by sparse throbbing drones, lone guitar chords and sporadic field recording snippets. Musically it is all but multiple in its general variation and proportion. By kindred souls there can be drawn parallels upon such names as Lydia Lunch, Jarboe, H Stewart, Ludus.

The Organdicks – Music for Drooling Idiots with Trendy Beards (2003)



  • Electronic music 
  • Alternative 
  • Experimental pop 
  • Primitronica 
  • Minimal synth 
  • Dada music 
  • Breakcore 
  • Electro

Comment: if you hear the artist name Organdicks for the first time I guess you may think of it either as a stupid one or an act with intention to provoke. Provoking whatever, provoking whoever. Lots of frantic beats with acidic fringes and internal drones, loose thematic developments being strengthened by some iterative motives chiming like an old school game (Salivating Acid, Chin Melting sounds like playing a lighter version of Bomberman). Although this 14-notch release was issued 15 years ago on Silo the stylistic meaning of it may have been changed into a poppy one. Into an artsy poppy one adhered to conventional sonic patterns while undermining it at the same time. So it is a love-hate case, the course of living one's life. In a softer version, it is just a case of reflecting pop music tendencies through a refined tongue-in-cheek attitude. Give me some dada! Give me some gaga! And the year of 2003 had been a happy span to me. The life was more wild and spontaneous with fewer regulations. The world was not so polarised and un-natural, there was much hope in the air. I have had no problem to put it into my personal context.

Demons That Drove – Bakteria Type 6 (2007)




  • Noise 
  • Avant-garde 
  • Experimentalism 
  • Post-industrial 
  • Abstract 
  • Non-music 
  • Drone

Comment: this 7-track outing is something reflecting upon something being truly unique and primal and dangerous – the bacteria. Krister Bergman aka Demons That Drove has paid tributes for them. You can hear whistling drones and cicada-alike chiming and sporadic noisy outbursts like sonic filament of the bacterial nucleus code of Type 6. Of course, it is interesting to know what does mean every sound you can hear from it. Is it a certain characteristic of the bacteria or does it hint at a specific activity? These microscopic beings with puzzling taxonomy have been and probably still are the biggest threat to the race of human being. The antibiotics do lose effectiveness due to an over-consuming. However, the pattern of many bacterial and viral entities is visually stunning. Noise-Joy has been the domestic imprint for those depictions for years.
