Comment: Nac/Hut Report is a duo from Poland who are inclined to make up mighty noise experiments with electric guitars and processors and effect blocks. More detailedly, this 8-track whole which was released on the imprint Crunchy Human Children is about crushing guitars and crushing with guitars. Additionally, by crushing one's humble music experience and understanding of music like a bug. As if desperately pushing a set of 20 guitars through a couple of broken cables though on the other side providing more softening patches against it, indeed, one can hear at times lofty, a bit orchestrated progressions and at times arousing female singing. Of course, by describing it in the way it seems like a description of Glenn Branca and My Bloody Valentine's music (especially Loveless, of course). It is like having a violent intercourse with a beautiful lady. Some days ago I watched a documentary about a British female serial killer, Joanna Dennehy who used to cut herself while having it (her first unfortunate victim was a Pole). Blood(y) lust, isn't? In a word, the result is the impressive studding on a border of artsy guitar experimentation, and shoegaze-y and dream pop glimpses. Furthermore, by seeing all these immediate yet deceptively hectic tectonic shifts one can compare it with such a sort of magnificent extraterrestrial moving and formation as if it were conceived by mimoids and symmetriads respectively written in at Solaris by Stanislaw Lem. Yeah, superb by its content, moody touch and format.

Comment: by listening to this 11-track outing by Ego Dome on Dusted Wax Kingdom I started thinking of the effect of postmodernism as a contemporary phenomenon. That everything used to be appearing in one, and vice versa if to express it roughly. On the other side, if to follow a philosophical principle that something to be established first of all must have borders, without the limits there will exist nothing. Its multiple nature is strength and weakness on the same coin. Music may be a phenomenon which is partly above and beyond the aforementioned contradiction and/or obstruction. More profoundly, what are the characteristics of a very solid album today? Given that many contemporary albums provide strong impressions during first listening times, however, later their impact will fade away. By listening to this New Hampshire, US-based artist I can hear piano ballads, folktronic developments, suggestive scratches, velvety ambient plateaus, chilled-out and trip-hop mixed spans, acid/nu jazz-inflected chopped rhythms and calm cool jazz-esque woodwind instrumentals. However, we need another criterion to separate the chaff from the grains of wheat. This can only be synergistic power which is going to sustain a thrill for further listening times as well. I feel the issue is going to realise that goal.

Comment: this batch of 11 tracks inflicts simultaneously some sort of pleasure and some sort of detestation. The latter used to associate with the nowadays mainstream dance music called EDM. I do not stand for sleazy dullness and rigidity without any humorous sentiments in music and that is all one can find out from the style. It is like dancing on speed although one's body stands on the verge of a collapse. Like moving from a grisly nightmare into a choking hangover. Before it the most horrendous music was related to such an event as Love Parade in Berlin, Germany. Those cheesy techno and trance mixed vibes were even worse. Some braindead did produce aural zombies. On Histoire Naturelle, the French singer-songwriter's sophomoric outing, one can listen to 8 originals and 3 remixes which ultimately constitute a mixed feeling. Usually those rhythmic structures are very similar to one another as if the artist is employing one and the same preset. New Age-y synths do work at times. Singing is arousing, guitar sounds are pristine yet providing no sense and giving no rest as well. It does not take me higher though Greenland is the favourite of mine due to its variety and suggestive atmospheric trumpet progressions in the background. Great track. However, regarding the artist's success at Soundcloud and on the other side the recent mainstream situation within the dance scene I guess the possibility to conquer bigger venues in Europe could be highly possible. Good luck.
