.....Life Coach
2011-01-17 17:44:00 Phil Manley, founding member of the pioneering DC-trio Trans Am, and in-demand recording engineer (Alps, Arp, Mi Ami, Moon Duo, Wooden Shjips) has recorded his debut solo album. Life Coach , a title inspired by Tony Williams Lifetime and Charles Bullen?s Lifetones project, is a dynamic collection of instrumental songs composed, performed, and recorded entirely by Phil. While there are reflections of Phil?s work in Trans Am, Oneida, The Fucking Champs, and Jonas Reinhardt that a listener familiar with those bands will notice, Life Coach is more minimal and adheres to the structures of German rock of the mid 70?s that has long inspired Phil, specifically the free-spirited and loose arrangements, the propulsive "motorik" pulse, and the sonic textures or "Klangfarben" (translated "sound colors"). German analog recording technology had reached its zenith in the late 70's. This coincided nicely with the careers of such artists as Neu!, Kraftwerk, Harmonia, Cluster and Popol Vuh. German re...

Ambient Post Psychedelic Neolith
2011-01-13 17:33:00 In a short blurb for yesterday?s mix tape I made fun of Ian for how horribly he described a band. I need to make a point of saying that Ian has been consistently awesome in recommending me music over the tenure of our friendship. He?s got pretty good taste! One of his most recent successes was turning me onto Woodsman. I think he initially sold me on their album Collages because it contained a track called ?Dikembe Mutombo.? Their psychedelic space/post-rock sound is right in line with what I find myself most frequently listening to these days. As if by some divine force, I received a copy of the band?s new EP Mystery Tape in the mail last week. Excitedly, I tore into it. ?Beached? begins the record all gauzy, druggy and tribal with a the band?s two drummers keeping themselves impressively restrained. Heavily processed voices rise and fall around delayed and reverberated guitar flourishes and a steady bass line. ?When The Morning Comes? exposes the band?s pop sensibilities. It?s no...

2011-01-12 17:07:00 From the four corners of Avalon did gather the keepers of the flame of doom, drawn together by the power of Thee Riffe to save the world from the evil powers of Emo...or something like that. Groan are the latest in a long line of bands to straddle the doom and stoner camps and inject it with a lethal dose of trad metal. The most remarkable thing about them, however, is that as they were recording the album they barely even knew each other and live spread across the country like lost souls in search of a band. Files were sent backwards and forwards via the power of the internet and slowly an album took shape that pays tribute to, not only the recording skills of those involved, but also the sheer class and level of professionalism in the song writing and performances that transcends the disparate nature of the band and gives them every illusion of being a band who have paid their dues in the clubs and toilet circuit of the UK.

So think some nice harmonies, Lo-Fi beats, awesome melodies all drenched in a fuzzy sauce. Others would call it Freak Folk, Psychedelic, Indie Trash Pop, or something like that... Probably all made in a dark basement somewhere in Mashaltown by two guys named Joel and Nicholas, who started this band in 2009, to have some fun.

2011-01-10 20:09:00 Little anonymous fuzz guitar rudiment blowdown from ex-Snake Apartment guitarist Ryland Wharton (also the man behind the excellent Skulltones and Twonicorn labels). As King Blood, he lays down eight instrumental four-trackers rendered over a three-year period, nothing but guitar, bass and cymbal to keep time, and in that space the artist gets real, with simple themes repeated in a noisy, low-rent, yet meditative space. For as thick as these vibes get, the music itself is not necessarily aggressive, which is why these big, billowing songs sound gentle and bluesy and introspective, even in the overblown treatment most of them receive. Early Wooden Shjips or the Purling Hiss LP (and above all, Les Rallizes Denudes) would be good signposts for this album, but without the obvious psych moves like wah-solos and acid burn motifs, or the heavy drumming to keep time; King Blood wants to get you down by volume, and in that it is a drifting, uncompromising, diffuse and very loud success. 100 c...

Gongs Of Hainuwele
2011-01-10 18:59:00 Upon hearing Harappian Night Recordings it is common for people to assume that it is a collage of field-recordings from a varied cast of inhabitants from the non-industrialised parts of the world. Such is the rich depth, vitality and authenticity of the recordings. The music and sounds however are created entirely by one man, Dr Syed Kamran Ali. He has such an instinctive feel for putting seemingly incongruous sounds together and such audacious irreverence in utilising any instrument or object from around the globe he can lay his hands on that what he creates is unique. The real miracle however is that his attention-defecit scatter-gun one-take approach so often works. It?s an anarchic buzz of ideas constantly usurping each other. Duelling ouds, whirling mizmars, screeching jouhikkos, tapping finger harps, rumbling monosynths, groaning harmoniums, a fist full of khene, talking gamelan lila derdeba popping giving a bent backed Dante's ring hell or like an Egyptian civilian army shit...

Fuzzy Punk-Rock
2011-01-10 17:52:00 Somewhere snugly in the middle of the rock and metal spectrum stonerrock has carved itself a hazy little niche of its own. The strange thing about it, of course, is that not many actual stonerbands like to be tagged that way. Well I'm not a creative musician looking for an artistic identy nor an uptight reviewer hoping to score scene-points. So I use the S-word when I like to and concerning this record I state that stonerrock label is all over it. From hyperfuzzed guitars over the raspy but intelligible vocals to the lyrics chiefly dealing with sex and fun. So according to any inclusive or exclusive defintion you can blog these cats are stonerrock. Now, we've got thatout of the way and generally speaking it's a good thing.

2011-01-08 08:21:00 New Qbico timez! This time around our little shipment contained a hat-trick of vinyls from the Neokarma Jooklo camp in various configurations and I think this is my hat-trick of reviews for the collective?

The Brotzmann style reed assault particularly needs to be heard to be believed, with all kinds of crazy, strangulated tones flying out into the cosmos while the drums keep pace admirably.

It's like psych/space and stuff
2011-01-05 19:19:00 Do you like the Ozric Tentacles? Korai Öröm? Both? Definitely check out Hidria Space folk, then: in the best tradition of the aforementioned two bands, this is ethnically-tinged psych/space-rock that manages to stay energetic and entertaining through the length of the album. As a matter of fact, I find Symbiosis more engaging than any work I've heard from either the Ozrics or Korai Öröm; and while I'm not the world's biggest fan of space-rock, that's still pretty high praise even from me. With this kind of music, I usually find that things get too repetitive and monochromatic after a while. But on Symbiosis, what appeals to me so much is the varied instrumentation and melodies that keep things interesting. There's a lot of Middle-Eastern influence, and even the occasional hint of a more Far Eastern melody, and often it comes from the actual instruments in addition to the writing: sitar, didgeridoo, and some really great marimba and vibraphone accents all serve to enrich the mus...

Sure, neo-psychedelic acts like Naam and La Otracina have successfully incorporated extreme metal influences on their latest releases, and Boris has long been able to bridge the void between indie psych and heavy doom, but none of them have nailed it like Blue Aside do on their debut EP, the first in a series of conceptual pieces from this self-described ?concept band.?

2010-12-29 11:32:00 Establishing themselves as an unholy collision between the still-nascent Pink Fairies and the legendary Fugs, the debut album by British free-festival favorites the Edgar Broughton Band almost literally re-created the spirit of their natural territory -- a muddy field full of sunbaked hippies -- with eight more or less epic tracks that, though their inspiration has long become the stuff of ancient history, remain essential listening to all but the most jaded ears. All maniacal cackle and frenzied riffing, the band's first single, "Evil," and the brutal bellowing of "Love in the Rain" are the most conventional numbers in that they were certainly written as crowd-pleasing stompers in the days before "Out Demons Out" established itself as the Edgar Broughton Band's all-consuming anthem.

2010-12-29 11:27:00 Ultralyd can be said to operate in a sonic landscape that has as much in common with modern contemporary music as wiith drone metal. While their vinyl only release ?Renditions? on The Last Record Company label in 2009 and their contribution to our recent ?Twenty Centuries Of Stony Sleep? compilation can easily be described as belonging to the former, ?Inertiadrome? introduces a more rhythm based, rough edged sound. What you get is an instrumental album of ensemble playing, practically free of soloing, largely driven by Olsen´s relentless drumming and Brandsdal´s monster heavy bass. Hana and Møster´s unorthodox guitar and sax treatments are filling the gaps while a bleak and futuristic sounding production gives it a distict sense of doom.

2010-10-28 20:30:00 It's surprising that even still we regard pictures as being discrete little rectangles of visual experience, which to certain extent of course they are, but the more fundamental problem is with how narrow our conception of photographic reality so often is, habitually confused with mere resemblance and not the multiple, discontinuous overlay of memory and presence we actually live. Gerald Slota's work is inherently photographic, it conjures an interior reality from the materials themselves, in this case old negatives bought at an estate sale. Something about it reminds me of Roger Ballen, which might seem a bit unlikely given how different this is in terms of both style and execution, but the knowing primitivism of his "drawing" on the negatives, the brittle, fevered intensity of the resulting images, suggests something of the same private world Ballen works with, a haunted psychological landscape, albeit one arising from the "lost time" of the photographs and how he works them.
