D'EON - MUSIC FOR KEYBOARDS (2012)

2012-03-15T22:39:00.002+01:00

Descarrega / Download

d'Eon drops a mixtape of instrumental keyboard music entitled "Music For Keyboards, Vol. I", ahead of his upcoming album "LP" on Hippos In Tanks. Over the past few months, d'Eon has uploaded instrumental tracks to YouTube, collected from 2003 - 2012. The classically-informed keyboard tracks contrast the pop-oriented songs on the upcoming "LP".

Formed in the early 90′s, d’Eon’s music is a product of two sides of a brain at war with each other, contradicting each other. Notes and rhythms and lyrics playing against each other, making each other obsolete, trying to make the others look bad. Femininity trying to outdo masculinity, acrimony trying to overtake sweetness.

Taking cues from such disparate influences as sound, rhythm, notes, and harmony, d’Eon makes music that is audible to most listener’s ears. In a rare, unprecedented hybrid, d’Eon not only puts musical notes together, but also places rhythms on top of the notes to create a thrilling combination of music and percussion. Another unique quality in his or her productions is the use of snares, claps, kicks and hi hats, but also more exotic percussion such as rimshots, toms and cowbells. This unconvential and innovative use of “programmable drum machines” to accompany not only keyboards but also vocal melodies is what sets d’Eon apart from the crowd. It is obvious that this young man or woman has a bright future in panhandling, heroin use, and attaching him or herself to a fanatical right-wing cause.

01. Lacrimosa
02. Cube

Named after a song of Squarepusher, these three young musicians of French and Swiss origin play a music style which is hard to define. Thinking one is listening to jazz, the music suddenly mutates into semi-electro. One just managed to filter out a melody when it disintegrates into coarse, metalic splitters. Rock on the one side, on the other minimalism à la Steve Reich, and in the midst an highly willful trio which has been plugging and playing away in virgin soil the last five years: a genuine discovery.

“The music by the Swiss band Plaistow is often dubbed “post jazz”. However, what Plaistow actually does often defies genre definitions and could be anything from minimalism to improvisation.”

"I would have preferred to sing the blues in any small bar full of smoke than to spend the nights of my life scratching into language..." (Alejandra Pizarnik)

My whole existence, I have been intently studying earthly life. In your books and music I have drunk fragrant wine, I have sung beautiful songs and played numerous instruments, I have hunted gazelles and monsters in dark forests, and have explored so many different trains of thought... Beauties as ethereal as clouds and mist, created by the magic of your poets and geniuses, have visited me in the dead of night, and have whispered in my ears alluring tales that have set my brain on fire. In your books, I have climbed to the peaks of The Himalayas and Mont Blanc, and from there I have seen the sun rise and have watched it at evening flood the sky, the ocean, and the mountain-tops with sad gold and crimson. I have watched from there the lightning flashing over my head and cleaving the storm-clouds. I have seen previously unvisited primeval jungles and forbidden forests, desolate fields and barren landscapes, the gloom and splendor of nature, virgin springs and breaking waterfalls, hidden caves in the wadi, haunted cities and forgotten ghost towns, heard wild howls and soft breezes of laughter, visited mysterious shrines, abandoned graveyards and secret hideaways for lovers. I have heard the wondrous singing of the sirens in the silence of the night, and the distant strains of the shepherds' pipes at sunrise; In my darkest dreams, I have even touched the bloody wings of sly devils who flew down to converse with me of life after death... In your books, I have flung myself into the bottomless pit, performed miracles and slain, burned towns and executed innocent witches, preached new philosophies, died and was resurrected... Again and again. Your books and music have given me almost infinite wisdom. All that the unresting thought and novel creativity of man has created in the ages is compressed into a small compass within my demonic brain. But I despise your worldly wisdom and the temporary blessings of this tragic world. It is all worthless, fleeting, illusory and deceptive - like a schizophrenic mirage or a Tibetan mandala. You may be proud, wise, charismatic and self-confident, but death shall nonetheless wipe you off the face of the earth as though you were no more than unconscious rats burrowing under the floor, and your bewildered successors, your allegedly splendiferous history, and your beloved immortal geniuses will burn or freeze together with the earthly globe. (Anton Chekhov, 1889; Wings of an Angel, 2011)

"...Es una definición subyugante, narcótica y ralentizada del hip hop que no descolocará a quien sienta algo por otros satélites de Tri Angle como Clams Casino o Balam Acab, o tenga a AraabMuzik o Jamie xx en la biblioteca de iTunes (aunque estos últimos suelen manejar más BPM y producciones menos líquidas), pero que revela rasgos propios, bien definidos, y augura un futuro imponente. Por suerte, no habrá que esperar demasiado para ver cómo da el estirón porque Leary ya está trabajando en más material para Tri Angle, un sello en constante expansión, en el que cada suma a su catálogo descubre nuevas órbitas alrededor de un mismo foco de luz: una relectura del hip hop, el R&B y las producciones de ritmos desde el otro lado del espejo."

Slow to Love by Doe Paoro

"Here’s the thing about soulful music that makes it unlike any other: when done well, it inspires a certain … state of mind. Call it a Mood or maybe a Funk if you’re prone to that sort of thing. The point is, by definition, “soulful” music sparks contemplation. Past actions, future actions or moments of inaction, it doesn’t really matter. Once in this state, it’s tough to do anything but listen and muse, listen and muse. And whether we care to admit it or not, being held captive in this manner can be a little bit delicious.

Fred called it and now we can confirm, Doe Paoro’s new album Slow to Love is delicious. In her blog, Sonia Kreitzer hints about how she got here (some heartache, some writer’s block, some lessons learned), but in her songs, she practically bares it all. Slow to Love is about a personal breakthrough, and I always love a good story about breaking free.

The story itself is pretty brief and covered in about half an hour. Most of the time I just sat there and shook my head, marveling over how she suffered, how much she overcame. Actually, I don’t know how much, but it sure as heck felt like there was some suffering going on. Don’t be too intimidated, though. The songs aren’t all heavy and intense, like “Born Whole” or “Can’t Leave You” might imply. Somewhere in the middle, Kreitzer lightens up and treats us to a couple of upbeat songs with “Trying to Impress” and “Body Games.”

Upbeat or not, we like it all – the message and the manner in which she delivers it. As the artist herself describes it, Feral Wailing pretty much hits the nail on the head.

Slow to Love is available for stream and purchase on Bandcamp. Find 27 minutes in your day and give it a test run." (Desiree - The Muse In Music)

"...De aires musicales más jazzísticos, con una estética que remite a clubs de otra época y noches melancólicas de verano viendo pasar la vida en el barrio, “4va N A Day” es puro soul, en el mejor sentido del término. Su premisa conceptual es el relato en primera persona de un día cualquiera de su existencia, con sus altibajos emocionales, sus arrebatos de nostalgia, sus reflexiones creativas, sus salvoconductos religiosos y espirituales y sus problemas cotidianos, pero siempre planteado con un tono positivista, humanizado y esperanzado. K.R.I.T. nos sumerge en su mundo y nos lleva en volandas, con un ejercicio de producción perfumado con grandeza e inspiración desbocada. “Yesterday”, “Boobie Miles” o “Package Store”, con sus aires de soul noir; “Me And My Old School Guitar” o “Insomnia”, que definen el crunk crepuscular; o “Wake Up” y “The Alarm”, inabarcable rap de duermevela, son algunos de los argumentos a los que se aferra este disco para desplegar su enorme talento. Lo tendrá difícil el hip hop en este 2012 para sonar más elegante y estiloso." (David Broc - Playground)

15 Bygones by Temple Songs

"For those not au fait with what Duck Tapes is here we go: we get an artist to put some tracks on a tape, decorate it, and sell it on. Oh, and we only really tend to make one copy of it, ever. And we’re bringing it all to an end.

As the final ever release on the label, it’s only fit that it ends with an artist that we’ve been after for a long time. Jolan is one of the most sickeningly talented people that you’re ever likely to meet, and seems to write hundreds of songs a week before burrowing them away like some kind of squirrel, never to see the light of day again. His album 15 Bygones came out recently, and has been committed to one solitary tape to commemorate the death of this lattle, home-spun label. Our hope is that this will convince Jolan to let the world listen to a couple more of his weird pop music, that we’ll have a few more jams like Perpetual Birthday to enjoy" (The Pigeon Post)

PARIAH CAREY - RHIZOME EP (2012)

Rhizome EP by Pariah Carey

Rhizome EP is the prequel to Rhizome LP. It is the setup for the events that will unfold and become the story Garghul and his freedom fighters. It is the brief introduction to Dr. Rah-soo, an all to familiar character who's origins will later become revealed.

Rural Idaho, 2158 A.D.
A symbiotic fungus, calling itself simply the Fungus, grows on plant roots, called rhizomes, and begins thriving on the potato crops of Idaho. Its symbiotic relationship with the plants is mutualistic. The fungus has evolved, however, and now has a way to attach itself to human brains. While much less mutual, its ability to overthrow the human willpower is astonishing. The Fungus begins its new reign of power with the local farm people, and then moves its way into the minds of city planners, police officers, governors and the like.

Chicago, IL, 2161 A.D.
The Fungus has taken over nearly 80% of the world's population. Chicago has become its US base of operation, with other control centers in Hong Kong, Jerusalem, Cairo and more. With control of the Airforce it has become easy to transport new "recruits" to the Fungus control hub for instruction and job placement. Dozens of women are enslaved, trapped in hospitals around the city, where they are used for breeding purposes. A small group of underground freedom fighters, led by the shrouded warrior known as Garghul, has concocted a plan to free to the female captives, hoping to begin the topple of the Fungus empire. A local scientist named Dr. Rah-soo has also begun working with the group to find an elixir to combat the fungi's effects. With Garghul and Dr. Rah-soo helming the rebellion, the underground finally has hope for survival and reclamation of their world.

So many brilliant artists and friends helped inspire the creation of this EP and concept: Hear Hums, Libraries, Golden, Com Truise, Rory O'Connor, Eric Parson, Matt Keen, Kirsten Frazelle, Giancarlo D'Alessandro & David Smith. Shouts out to Tommy Mikey, Ryan Hemsworth, Nate McKee, Julian Wass, Sam Ray, Dylan Ettinger and Matt Sage for always being willing to listen to demos and samples and keep me motivated. A final huge thanks to Philip K Dick, his novel Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?, and the film-adaptation Bladerunner for a lot of the visual and thematic inspiration.

Worry Toobs by Balue

A short album recorded during the final months of 2011.
Its best with headphones.

"Would be a shame to be lost among so many bands who attempt lo-fi." - matineeashell.net

"Denver’s Balue is making their high elevation dip down to the coast…at least for the 5 sea salt coated pop rock tracks of Worry Toobs. Seriously if I were to guarantee some music for some joyous listening today, this simmering set of songs by Eli Thomas would be it."
- pastaprima.net

"They combine plinky guitars, that are a bit tinny at times, but surprisingly pleasant; melodic pitter-patter drums and pockets of silence, tinged by the sound of waves and suchlike. It’s quite nice really, and makes me want to sit on a beach, drinking a pinacolada, watching the sunset."
- scenenotherd.org

"A dreamy ode to grunge, psych and pop."

"His leisurely distorted guitar and sunset sweet lyrics perfectly capture the essence of the beachy coastal lifestyle."

bell hooks by BBU

Are you ready for a transmission straight from the streets of the Windy City? You better be, because today Мишка is happy to present bell hooks, the brand new album from Chicago's very own BBU. Picking up more steam with each passing day, this four piece is primed and ready to burst onto everyone's radar. After hearing their feature on The Hood Internet's debut album, we knew we had to do something bigger with BBU. Joining up with Mad Decent along the way, the momentum behind the bell hooks project got even stronger.

Epic, Illekt, Jasson Perez, and DJ Esquire are the creative force behind BBU (short for Bin Laden Blowin! Up or Black, Brown, and Ugly, depending on the day), and they're committed to making socially conscious rap that doesn't sacrifice an ounce of fun. Pulling sounds from all over, including the rap of their childhoods and also the rich juke culture of their home city, BBU have truly created a soundtrack to their artist-activist lifestyle. From the impetus behind the title (the nom de plume of feminist writer Gloria Jean Watkins, in case you ain't knowin') to the poem that opens the album, BBU aren't afraid to speak their very unique minds. But these nimble wordsmiths make sure to keep the energy sky high across all of bell hooks.

Featuring beats by Stefan Ponce, Montana Macks, The Hood Internet, and more, bell hooks is packed to the brim with politics and personality, whether it be on the juking fringe anthem "Outlaw Culture", 90s music paen "Kurt De La Rocha", or the double time dense rhymes of "Cormega." These 17 tracks have also got guest verses from Das Racist, GLC, and the whole thing is mixed by DJ Benzi. It's a thrillingly unique rap release that sets the bar high this early in the year. If you're in the midwest, be sure to go celebrate its release this Thursday at Schubas in Chicago. If you can pull yourself away from listening to bell hooks that is. Listen and download below, and check the full tracklist after the jump!

Love Sex Machine by Love Sex Machine

Songs about love

Recorded, mixed and mastered by Love Sex Machine in the MCPDS studio.

"Centrándonos en el debut de Love Sex Machine, puedo decir desde ya que se trata de una de las sorpresas del año, y el primer álbum metálico que me ha volado la cabeza. A pesar de su ridículo nombre, de su risible portada y de desconcertantes (cuanto menos) títulos de canciones como Killed With A Monster Cock o Vagina Curse, estamos ante un trabajo que hay que tomarse muy en serio si uno no quiere acabar humillado, vejado o triturado, incluso todo a la vez. Porque Love Sex Machine duele, es un impío monolito elevado a horribles deidades perdidas en la memoria de nuestra especie, es la sodomía cuando los látigos dejan paso a la lija. Algo que comprobarás cuando comience Anal On Deceased Virgin y su riff te salte todos los empastes de la boca. Partiendo de la la inclemencia abrasiva del sludge, Love Sex Machine han sumado a su propuesta los característicos, todopoderosos y ultramundanos riffs de Meshuggah, dando como resultado una obesidad sonora cuya comparación más acertada sería encontrarse en mitad de un terremoto y una explosión termonuclear junto a una estampida de elefantes. Todo ello mientras un mono colocado de speed te desgarra el ano con una taladradora industrial y suelta alaridos apocalípticos en tu oreja. A pesar de hacer de la lentitud y densidad asfixiante sus coordenadas de partida, la banda gala es capaz de compactar la mayoría de temas en metrajes que no superan los 5 minutos de duración, ya que de no haberlo hecho la OTAN hubiera bombardeado Francia por desarrollar armas biológicas. En todo caso el resultado sobre tu córtex cerebral es el mismo, y al terminar los poco más de 30 minutos que dura el álbum te sentirás peor que después de recibir una paliza de campeonato. Lo que hace soberbio a este álbum es que a pesar de hacer saltar todos los sismógrafos de aquí a Tokio y provocar espasmos esquizoides en 9 de cada 10 oyentes, a la vez despliega una pegada y gancho que lo convierten en tremendamente adictivo. Absolutamente imposible no llorar con placer malsano ante estigmas sangrantes como Fucking Battle, Plenty Of Feelings o Killed With A Monster Cock, que te obligarán a hacer headbanging como un poseso, aunque probablemente contra tu madre o una pared. Como los colores y las gamas cromáticas son cosas de hippies amanerados, no esperes aquí versatlidad ni matices, ni falta que hace. Love Sex Machine no dan cuartel, respiro ni tregua alguna, tan sólo una blitzkrieg sonora, despiadada y de una densidad cósmica. Tómalo o déjalo, da igual, ellos saldrán victoriosos de cualquiera manera." (Ecos de R'Lyeh)

BODYGUARD - SILICA GEL (2012)

Descarrega / Download

"It’s not like James Ferraro doesn’t have his detractors, but part of the deal with him is that he’s got a definitive goal in mind, and he’s attempting to reach it in a very public way. That means there are gonna be some misses, some hits, and some genuinely bizarre shit that no one can explain. When he released his Bebetunes project, it mostly felt like a semi-interesting experiment by a super-smart dude trying to grapple with synthesizing everything he hears on the radio into his own distinct style. His newest project, Bodyguard, takes that idea one step further. Fleshing out his interpretations of radio tropes (autotune! Balloon noises! Bass so deep that it quakes!) with the help of a band. Predictably, there are a couple moments that fall flat, but that’s alright. It’s not like you’re paying for this. There are highlights too. On “Raiden – Blue Lights #NZT – 48,” Ferraro reaches dizzying late-evening-in-LA excess: repeating crystaline synths and the aforementioned overwhelmingly heavy bass with detached vocals for seven-and-a-half minutes. It’s dark and sleazy and borders on excessive, but it also seems like the pinnacle of the ideas he’s been exploring lately." (The Fader)

“Detaching Realities” is a series of compositional jazz interpretation of when life has a intense surreal/abstract feel of being detached from reality during and post panic attacks, anxiety attacks, obsessive/compulsive, Bi-polar and depression disorders. The opposite end of emotional spectrums of being not being balanced: happy/sad, nervous/calm, hyperactive/lethargic, angry/calm, weird, quirky, non-sense etc.

Coming Home EP by Arbor Glades

Arbor Glades is the most recent addition to the Flagless fold. Centered on the songwriting of lead guitarist/vocalist Andrew Duval, the band find a meeting point between Duval’s South African upbringing and the humdrum nooks and crannies of Montréal’s sometimes somber and frosty atmosphere. The result is a moody, jangly pop-rock with touches of surf and soul. (Flagless Records)

Caníbal by Señorita Uva

"Señorita Uva son cuatro individuas/espectros/mujeres/uvas/teenagers/whatever que se encontraron en algún momento de 2010, en algún punto del ciberespacio. Poco romanticismo, pero, ou yeah, rockandroll. Un poco antes: Sara sabía que Sandra tocaba la batería y sabía que Sara tocaba la guitarra deseando ser Allison Robertson. Habían tenido grupos con vértices comunes y una noche -aleatoria- regresaban al búho en Cibeles (blablabla). Querían una nueva visión conjunta fuera del puto patriarcado de la música que llevaban dentro. Pero necesitaban más- Faltaban más, dos o quizás tres. Llega Ágata. Siempre ha querido ser PJ Harvey, y aunque puede colar como british, prefiere cantar para añadir parecidos. Aquella época el bajo y coros eran dominio de Vane. Ya todas juntas -armonía- suceden los primeros ensayos de versiones, viendo hasta dónde llegaban. Continúan con la progresión natural y componen sus primeros temas, llegan los primeros conciertos, se conocen y se aman. Pero el amor a veces no es suficiente, y Vane- inserta aquí cualquier drama de drogas y sexo que haga la biografía más interesante- separa caminos. Pero las chicas no quieren recrearse en la melancolía y la añoranza, y pronto empiezan a buscar a la nueva responsable de los graves. Viene Ana, y supera todas las necesidades y expectativas del resto del grupo. We love Ana. Ana se mimetiza entre las Lady Grape. Y voilà, nace Señorita Uva tal y como se puede observar hoy en día."

Extra Patience (After Sebald) by The Caretaker

Available for free for a limited time. Extra tracks taken from the soundtrack of the Grant Gee film "Patience (After Sebald). The source material for 'Patience' was sourced from Franz Schubert's 1827 piece 'Winterreise' and subjected to his perplexing processes, smudging and rubbing isolated fragments into a dust-caked haze of plangent keys, strangely resolved loops and de-pitched vocals which recede from view as eerily as they appear.

“In movimento” (2010, autoprodotto/Sub Terra): le voci come immagini intrise di un'attesa continua scorrono come in un film in bianco e nero in questi solchi brevi e intensi come una poesia minimale. La musica è sospesa e incisiva, fatta di suoni e rumori spesso lontani, avvolta in un'aura di sogno. Quasi dimenticata.

Sedici minuti violenti, sporchi e vitali, messi nero su bianco in soli tre giorni.
Sedici minuti sufficienti per trovare vie di fuga da dove siamo finiti, senza rendercene conto. Il peggio è qui, ora.
Sedici minuti senza fronzoli, senza esercizi di stile.

Sedici minuti legalmente scaricabili e duplicabili grazie alle licenze Creative Commons.

"The Simple Carnival is not so much a band as it is the pop brainchild of Jeff Boller, a Pittsburgh-based singer/songwriter/musician who plays all thirty or so instruments on this EP, the second in a series.

It sparkles with a late-seventies AM pop radio feel: sunshine pop-influenced harmonies, soaring melodies, tack piano, handclaps, and vintage keyboards dominate. Jangly guitars make several appearances, but any trace of a fuzz pedal is curiously absent." (Free Music Archive)

UNA AUTÈNTICA JOIA. INDISPENSABLE!!!

"Ethiopia revisited! While compilations of music of Ethiopian heritage are flooding the market, Imperial Tiger Orchestra offers a unique sound combining modern and traditional inspiration. .. The Orchestra's repertoire consists of revamped remakes of songs from the golden age of Ethiopian music, traditionals standards and latest Addis productions: a powerful horn section, deadly percussions and relentless keyboards provide a merciless and efficient instrumental reinterpretation and improvisation based on original vocal songs. Preserving the natural beauty of melodies and Ethiopian sound while exploring uncharted territory, playing with textures and dynamics, adding distortions and noise to complete beautiful pieces, the self-proclaimed counterfeiters embrace dark hypnotic rhythms, obsessive basslines and grooves from electronic music. Far from any purist notions, the musicians surprise and delight with traditional Thaï "phin" guitar mixed into traditional ethiopian "kebero" percussion. Just one example among many others. It's groove experimentation, it's improvisational heat." (Imperial Tiger Orchestra myspace)

"Some say this album is a return to the style of Long Hair's first two albums -- and those people are probably referring this album's relentlessness -- but, in LH's own opinion, this is more dense and creepy than the earlier stuff. Instead of fighting the hiss, hum, buzz, and unwanted background sounds, LH finally learns to embrace them. This album needs to be listened to in its entirety, at whatever volume you feel to be appropriate." (Forty-Seven Records)

Ya hace cuatro años que empezamos con el grupo.
Por fin el año pasado nos decidimos a sacar nuestro primer disco con la discográfica independiente los Enanos Gigantes, y la distribución de Pias Spain. Lo grabamos en analógico en los estudios Brazil de Madrid. Fue producido por Fino Oyonarte y masterizado por Nathan James en los estudios The Vault de Nueva York y en el colaboraron Los Planetas, Triangulo de Amor Bizarro, Klaus&kinski…
Lo presentamos en Coruña llenando la sala Leclub, en la Rock Kitchen de Madrid, en la Sala 8 y medio de Murcia y en la Apolo 2 de Barcelona en una fiesta organizada por Scanner fm. Las críticas en la Rockdelux , Jenesaispop, Muzicalia, Radio 3… no podían ser mejores. En verano tocamos en varios festivales como el Jack Daniel´s de Barcelona, el Low Cost de Benidorm o el Festival do Norte en Vilagarcía de Arousa con unas críticas muy buenas. Fuimos uno de los pocos grupos españoles que tocamos en el Primavera Club 2011 en Madrid y Barcelona. La Rockdelux y la revista Tendencias nos entrevistaron en su mes de diciembre y volvimos a salir en recopilatorios como el de Indie Spain Magazine, y en muchas listas de lo mejor del año entre las que destacan varios 5º puestos de mejor disco del año en revistas, blogs y radios ( Astredupop, Indiecalling, Howpopisnow?,Numero 0,Perdiendo mi eje (para quien además de quinto mejor disco nacional fuimos el mejor disco gallego), Indie Spain, Esto es Música, Retroalimentación, Ultrasónica, Revista DOT…). Finalmente agotamos las 1000 unidades pero aun se puede descargar en nuestro band camp, donde llevamos casi 4000 descargas.
Ahora mismo estamos ultimando nuestro segundo disco en el que habrá diez nuevas canciones pop, minimalistas, distorsionadas, oscuras y de amor grabadas por Roberto Mallo y producidas por Rodrigo Caamaño y nosotros mismos." (Franc3s)

Verdad by AtletA

"AtletA  do not introduce themselves as an evolution of the extinct 12Twelve, but with a marked and different personality. All the renewed energy and musical background of Jose Roselló and Jaime Pantaleón can be appreciated in their new proposal wich combines electronic, progressive and symphonic psychedelia.

Roselló´s electronic contributions together with the celestial guitars from Pantaleón, are nothing more but the starting point of this record with a soundtrack and free espirit soul.The duo experiment with synthesized sounds and loops in a risky and original way, and they so under a highlighted HI-Fi sound, typical of the 60´ and 70´.

¿David Axelrod? ¿Jean Claude Vannier? ¿Osanna? ¿John Carpenter? ¿Alan Parsons? ¿DJ Shadow? ¿Chemical Brothers? AtletA’s curriculum invited to  optimism  but the final result turns to be amazing. “Catedrales” (Aloud music/Atleta Records,  2010) is an instrumental innovative work, different from anything ever published in Spain. Later came the so called “Spiritismo” (Boa, 2003) and “L´Univers” (Acuarela, 2006) both recorded by Steve Albini, thus they became the first Spanish band who ever worked with him. Tours, hundreds of shows, some of them in European Jazz Festivals like Manchester, Istanbul or Athens. They have also played in other renown festivals such as Sónar or Primavera Sound. An undisputed reality, the scenery was orphaned after their farewell. Without hurries and without taking responsabilty of 12Twelve, their two thinking heads (Jaime L. Pantaleón and Jose Roselló) appart from his alter egos Cuzo and Faraón, they´ve developed a new eletronic rock project which enables them to continue developing original ideas, always ahead of their time."

&amp;lt;a href="http://observerdrift.bandcamp.com/album/corridors"&amp;gt;Corridors by Observer Drift&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;

This is my first full length album. I wrote all these songs in a period of about 8 months. I recorded/produced all these songs on my own at home. So as you listen to it, pretend like you're hanging out with a punk friend of yours from high school, listening to the album in his messy room, because thats exactly where the album was created. I feel like each song is unique and displays a different side of my personality. I hope that when anyone listens to this album they experience a sense of adventure and nostalgia. The lyrics in this album are heavily based on 3 main things: Dreams that i've had, Important people, and memories of my very young childhood (more specifically, memories that I am able to relive through watching home videos and flipping through old photo books) If you are able to connect with even just one song from this project, that would be just swell, my friend.

"LOUP started in early june 2010. This duo was born to play with Rangda (Chris Corsano, Ben Chasny and Sir Richard Bishop) at Grnd Zero in Lyon on june 8th 2010. I (Sheik Anorak) was supposed to improvised with other musicians from Grnd Zero as an openeing for Rangda, but instead I asked Clement to start a new improv/free jazz duo. And then LOUP was born.

LOUP can be considered as an avant-garde free jazz duo. The meeting of jazz background (Clement Edouard) and noise (Sheik Anorak). LOUP is beyond jazz and beyond noise, something like a link between comtemporary music, free jazz and art....something like"comtemporary art/jazz"." (Audition Records)

Washed Up by I Heart Hiroshima

New recording available around recents shows including the Australian dates with Gang of Four.

From Brisbane... birthplace of The Saints & The Go-Betweens comes three piece - I HEART HIROSHIMA. Susie (drums/voice), Matt (guitar/voice), & Cameron (guitar/voice/art)... where it's at... shared vocals and a microphone. Bottles and cans, just clap your hands. Connecting the wires. Making the right incisions. Joining the plots. Caressing shadows of the flickering lights. Plunging into the light off the side of the road. City streets declare a musical lineage converging in the guitar's angular striations, like bastard urchins and youthful inventions touched by tender aggressions.

Un Mal Día (lo tiene cualquiera) by Las Buenas Noches

"Rubén Alonso (cantante), Miguel Brieva (guitarras), Daniel Cuberta (batería), Daniel Matas (piano y cuerda) y Camilo Bosso (contrabajo) han grabado este segundo disco, Un mal día lo tiene cualquiera, en el estudio La Mina, un chalé de Espartinas (Sevilla) que se ha convertido en la cuna de la mayoría de los nuevos grupos de música independiente andaluza. Bajo ese humor surrealista que les emparienta con sus convecinos Pony Bravo (“el hombre del tiempo… ni un poco me ama ni un nada me odia, cómo ese hombre sabe mi nombre”), Las Buenas Noches es un grupo de folk y rock que asimila de una forma extraordinaria toda la música de raíces, impregnando su sonido de trazos andinos y africanos con instrumentos poco habituales como el dobro, el cuatro venezolano y el charango. Si bien las piezas breves (La plaga) son las más atinadas, en el álbum sobresalen las canciones en las que la instrumentación cobra protagonismo (Crimea, La jungla). Cierta herencia de Radio Futura (Oda a la seguridad), no exenta de costumbrismo, y en definitiva, folk imaginario, para uno de los discos más destacados de lo que llevamos de 2011."

oso leone / live by OSO LEONE

"Oso Leone son de Palma de Mallorca y lo forman Xavi Marín y Paco Colombàs (guitarras, voces y percusión) y junto a ello se une Ruspell (rhodes, piano, sintetizadores, programaciones). Su primer trabajo “OSO LEONE” se ha grabado íntegramente en La Casa de Música y producido por Ruspell (Jaime Rosselló), que se fijó en este dúo durante su actuación acústica por las montañas de Deià y puso toda su confianza desde aquella primera grabación. Empezaron siendo un dúo de canciones muy simplificadas, pero cuando las hicieron sonar en estudio decidieron añadir componentes sutiles y con sentido, que hacen que las canciones se asienten sobre una base sólida con momentos psicodélicos cautivadores. El resto del grupo en directo lo componen Eusebio Alomar (bajo), Marcos González (guitarras) y Jonathan Mills (batería, percusión).

Así es Oso Leone, delicadeza y una tendencia progresiva que atrapa. Lo que en los primeros segundos suena a folk puede llegar a levantarte de la butaca. Dos voces melódicas que empastan con el amor eterno. La temática de sus canciones se aleja del hermetismo y deja libre la imaginación; relatos fantasiosos capaces de abstraer y de situar al oyente en parajes idílicos de naturalezas salvajes."

Ahora, también es el nombre de una serie de compilaciones anuales de música independiente hecha por hispanos en Latinoamérica, en España y en otras partes del mundo -como por ejemplo EEUU- donde la comunidad hispana es muy numerosa. Estas que encontraréis aquí, son algunas apuestas para 2011, ya conocidas en sus países de procedencia y que merecen la máxima atención también fuera de ellos.

Plástica quiere facilitar la difusión del gran patrimonio cultural común -en particular, el musical- que, entre todos, seguimos incrementando.

Todas las canciones que aparecen en este volumen han sido amablemente cedidas por sus autores e intérpretes. En la mayoría de casos, son canciones inéditas, compuestas para la ocasión; en otros, revisiones de sus propios temas. Los derechos sobre las mismas pertenecen a los distintos artistas, que las comparten bajo la licencia que corresponda en cada caso.

Muchas gracias a todos los músicos implicados en este proyecto. Algunas bandas quisieron estar pero, por plazos, les fue imposible hacerlo en esta ocasión. Esperamos que ésta sea la primera de una larga serie de compilaciones, que muchas bandas nuevas se sumen a la iniciativa y que los ya presentes en este disco repitan en el futuro.

Muchas gracias también a otros medios digitales que nos apoyaron e inspiraron para llevar adelante esta iniciativa y que participan activamente en la construcción de un patrimonio cultural hispano, cada vez más rico y de alcance más global.

"One night in suburban Detroit, a twelve-year-old Rosie Thomas lay sleepless in her bed, obsessively dwelling on what she perceived to be her lack of life purpose. Then, well after 2 AM, it suddenly hit her. She sprung out of bed and raced down the hall. “Daddy, Daddy, I know what my mission in life is,” Rosie exclaimed, poking her father. “I just want to entertain people.” After 3 albums on Sub Pop, These Friends of Mine was release through her own lable, Sing-A-Long Records. The album includes appearances by friends Sufjan Stevens, Damien Jurado, David Bazan (Pedro the Lion), and Denison Witmer. On February 14, 2012, Rosie will release her first full-length record in four years, With Love. Thomas makes her return to the studio with a band featuring David Bazan (Pedro the Lion), Blake Wescott (Damien Jurado), brother Brian Thomas, Sam Beam (Iron & Wine) and Jenn Wood (The Postal Service)."

Post Rock is Not Dead by Pan

Pan is:
Brandon Edwards- Drum

Nate Stewart- guitar
Ryan Hutchens- bass
Eric Jones- keys

performers:
Tony Lee- Drums
Austin Larrimore- Bass

Written and Produced by Pan.
Recorded, Mixed, and Mastered by Jack Beasley at The Mill.

“Pan's debut EP, Post Rock Is Not Dead, in its three songs, offers something of a mission statement for the band. The title itself is telling. Pan shows a real effort to move its instrumental songs as far from self-serious austerity as possible. The band keeps things upbeat with aggressive guitar melodies not too far removed from punk-metal bands like Strung Out, and a dance-rock lilt in “Seeking (The Sea King)” that suggests Ratatat. The panoramas this band paints don’t languish in a gloomy grayscale, but splash bright colors across the canvas.” (B. Reed - free-times.com)

Los Steaks "Something Special" by DHR-020

"Son un cuadro, un mural, algo muy colorido, pintado con descuidados trazos donde la inocencia y el descaro se cogen de la mano, donde se funden lo agradable y lo incómodo, el POP y la NO-WAVE, Dostoyevski y los Beach Boys. Guitarras fender, percusiones tribales y melodías infantiles desestructuradas en un mismo plano donde la tensión y los grises entran en forma de reverb y delay, coros efímeros y exóticos arreglos caseros formando un curioso equilibrio.
Es algo auténtico, sin artificio y cercano… actitud, efervescencia y curiosidad.
No es música de fiesta ni banda sonora de un secuestro en un oscuro zulo… es tensión, tensión sin pretensión, arte popular hecho en casa sin medir el alcance de lo que puede llegar a transmitir.
Nada más y nada menos… Los STEAKS." (Discos Humeantes)

dream sequence by alyosha's dream

"This is “one of those” I saw on /mu/ and I actually enjoyed. Dream Sequence is an experimental hip-hop debut by Philadelphia musician Alyosha’s Dream. One of the first things that we have to get out of the way is that this actually was not an easy listen. The textures in this record are complex and took me a few listens to really take them in. The concept of the record is that it “starts of somewhat normal and takes you into increasingly strange territory as it progresses onward.” That it does.
I actually like to think of there being two “parts” to this, the “normal” (With a very loose use of the word) being the first six tracks, and the odd half being the rest. In fact, starting with the track “Recent Nightmare,” the music gets noticeably darker. Really, it’s when the whole thing gets really interesting. Not to say the first half of the album isn’t good, it just doesn’t quite capture my attention like the second half does. The beats and textures get much more complex and interesting with the second half, and even though it was stranger, more experimental, and dare I say, avant-garde, I found it much easier to listen to.
Mind you, Dream Sequence is definitely not for everyone. If you don’t usually listen to experimental music, this is definitely not a very good place to start, because it’s definitely gets to be a little “out there” a few times. If you’re not into having to re-listen to something to better understand it, you might not like this. But if you’re the kind of open-minded listener that has a good attention span and an affinity for cool soundscapes and textures, this is definitely something to check out. A couple of the tracks in the first half of the album are kind of uninteresting at times and drag on a little bit, but the fantastic second half more than makes up for this, so I’m giving it a solid B+."

Até porque quem escutou o Anteluz e o histórico Ruído, conhece bem aquela voz sofrida que se sobrepunha as 3 guitarras que a Alice se desafiava a criar e reger. Porém, o hiato sonoro entre Ruído (2007) e Canções de Apartamento, seu primeiro disco solo, cultivou certa curiosidade sobre qual destino se focaria o talento de Cícero Lins.

Ao cortar seu sobrenome, Cícero também lapidou os ruídos de guitarras e passou a andar mais solto, acompanhado apenas de seu violão e utilizando do suporte de Paulo Marinho (bateria) e Bruno Schulz (acordeon/piano/coro), para 3 anos após o fim da Alice e dezenas de discotecagens na noite carioca depois, lançar suas canções de apartamento ao mundo e novamente se sentir na correria de uma banda independente e sofrer para saber a opinião das pessoas e da imprensa sobre seu novo filho.

Climático, o disco é feito para se ouvir com atenção, deixando ecoar no ouvido e virar docemente a trilha sonora do seu dia. É brilhante. Uma viagem ao interior de uma mente que parece expressar-se perfeitamente em letras sentimentais, melodias densas e vocal tristonho. Por vezes, soa como as cantigas melosas de Milton Nascimento, a sensibilidade triste de Rodrigo Amarante e até como a pseudo-rockeiragem de Caetano Veloso. Ao mesmo tempo, você sente pulsar aquele timbre, passagem ou composição que a Alice usou para conquistar fãs até hoje." (Rock In Press)

NUREYEV - LA LEYENDA DEL ESQUIMAL (2012)

1. William C
2. Ciudades Griegas
3. Un Domingo en Santa Pola
4. Portobello
5. El Último Día del Año

"El primer EP de Nureyev (una mutación en español de los ya míticos Silent pasados por el tubo catódico de El Niño Gusano al que homenajean en su propio nombre) son cinco temas de pop cristalino perfectamente ejecutado. William C. cosido a base de dulzura acústica y meticulosos guiños es un tema redondo donde la voz atrapa la melancolía de la letra en cada fraseo. Ciudades griegas con un tono más épico nos recuerda a bandas como los nunca bien reivindicados Deneuve o incluso los oscenses Kiev cuando nieva y cuando el bajo se mezcla con los ambientes sintético el panegírico para el recuerdo de los hombres mosca, para los alambres y las bombillas es tan evidente que a uno le entran ganas de levantarse y aplaudir mientras grita "Vámonos, estamos a tiempo". Un domingo en Santa Pola es un levísimo extracto del imaginario naif pasado por el filtro donostiarra que tanto calmó las tristezas de los jóvenes en los noventa. Pero con un poco más de mala leche, claro. El tiempo de la inocencia ha terminado porque los mejores se han marchado. Portobello, con su potente beat nos recuerda quién está detrás de Nureyev, con su pulsión británica y su energía imparable, sonríe, algún día te llevaré a Londres y todo lo malo habrá sido un sueño. El cierre del disco, con El último día del año, añade un poco de sal psicodélica a la receta, de la ansiedad anfetamínica de las nuevas olas para cerrar una grabación sorprendente, cargada de referencias pero todavía original. Un debut, el de Nureyev, donde el espíritu de Sergio Algora sobrevuela como un ángel de alas de cristal, es una agradabilísima realidad surgida de la inagotable cantera del pop aragonés cantado en español, con unas letras cuidadas, en esa línea familiar que une a Pulmón con El Polaco y nos hace tragarnos la lengua justo en mitad del bosque."

"although finlander jonna karanka has been slowly leaking out little kuupuu jewels for six years now, somehow it’s taken just that long to materialize her first ‘proper’ album. maybe it has something to do with the time she’s devoted to her beautiful artwork, or her time spent in a highly impressive string of other bands, included HERTTA LUSSU ASSA (with ISLAJA and LAU NAU), ANAKSIMANDOS, AVARUS, and many others… but, you know, i always figured kuupuu music didn’t have much to do with ‘time’ anyway. it’s music from another reality, to put it bluntly. a beautiful place no doubt, but somehow totally other. you could call this music a lot of things, all without really saying much… post-everything? pre-birth folk? bedtime acid-art? naive avant-garde loop witchcraft? maybe something like a thousand memories & vague images folded into each other and spooled out infinitely like a sloppy film loop… the sound of tiny bioluminescent insects systematically devouring an urban cityscape in hyper-speed, while just as quickly slithering neon flora entwine the metallic gray remains, only to then be gobbled themselves by a leaderless army of pulsating micro-robots. got that? now play backwards in slow motion… surreal might just be an understatement…" (Free Music Archive)

Sternenlied

"Sternenlieder" ("Songs of the Stars") is an homage to the magical, yet free worlds and spirits that some childlike minds are possible to create.
A requiem.
A sad looking back.
An entreating call for times when a lonely snowflake was turning into music;
when creatures at night were standing beside your bed, scaring - but anyhow familiar to you!
"Sternenlieder" is dedicated to the utterly beautiful stars, where some of the children's souls travel night by night...

COSEPH JONRAD - FIAT MILLION HITS

COSEPH JONRAD 'rrriooo' from Coseph Jonrad on Vimeo.

"Ralph Cumbers is a busy man. Already this year he's released a glut of great records - Inner Space Break Free as Bass Clef, two cassettes under his alias Some Truths, a collaboration with Ekoplekz (Ekoclef) and a whole raft of CDRs as Coseph Jonrad - all through his own label Magic & Dreams.

Now he's giving away yet another. FIAT Million Hits is another under the name Coseph Jonrad, and it's available now to download from his website.

Previous Coseph Jonrad tapes have been track-by-track remixes of entire albums that Cumbers "obsessed over as a kid". FIAT Million Hits is a slight shift in emphasis - instead it's a remix of the first album he ever got, a compilation that came free with his family's car. Particular mention must go to a gorgeous droney take on Al Green's 'Let's Stay Together'." (The Quietus)

04. Ludger Hennig - retro forensic version
05. Mokuhen - poisson silence, Oki
06. Francisco López - untitled#279
07. Herzog - naufrage (remix)

"A compilation always looks nice as project, to join together people around one idea or thematic, it has also this obvious promotionnal aspect and purpose. In the present case, starting from the will to establish a collaboration between and "improv" label (Insubordinations) and an "electronic" one (Tsuku Tsuku Grammofon) we agreed on the concept of reworking one of the diatribes's albums.
Then what about the result ? What is its interest ?
At the end we have in our hands a journey into electroacoustic music, colored by the acoustic and improvised energy of "complainte de marée basse". It is pretty curious to ear how each musicians used the original material with very different concerns, according to their own usual practice. Some use them as "field recording", others work with sorts of "dub" remixing technics, some turned totally the sounds into their worlds without any attempt to keep a trace of the sources. And none of this sounds wrong, but in every case establishe dialogs between the reworks and originals, showing each time another vision of the role or value of "recorded sound"." (insubordinations)

"Aurora is a second full-length album by Nice Wings, Icarus! – post-metal\progressive rock band from Kiev, Ukraine. This time tunes sound far more confident and sometimes – experimental, and we`re not talking about tracks timing.

Formed in February 2008 by Yuriy Nagorniy (guitar) and Yuriy Kasyanenko (drums), NICE WINGS, ICARUS! played their first live show ten months later, with Sergiy Zaika (guitar), Vadim Matuzenko (bass) and Daniil Grudzinskiy (violin) being the official members of the band as well. They shape their material during 2009, bearing influences from TOOL, ENVY, PELICAN, ISIS and some other bands, but never imitating someone’s manner or sound." (Clinical Archives)

"Tom Cary son verdaderos creyentes del lema "hazlo tú mismo". Un trío formado en 2006 por Francisco Verdugo, Pablo Garrido y Marcelo Moreno procedente de Málaga, que gracias a su sonido y actitud se han convertido en los últimos años en uno de los proyectos más interesantes del underground español. Poderoso, percusivo, mutante, crudo, eléctrico y abrasivo son algunos de los adjetivos empleados para describir sus directos y grabaciones.

Tras ganar la mayoría de los concursos noveles nacionales con en su primera demo, Steve Albini produjo su primer álbum, "That's right! Clean your soul" (Anewlabel / Pias) en 2008. A finales de 2009, editaron "Grace of the pure hearts" (Miga / Popstock), una recopilación de caras B y rarezas de su primer periodo en el net-label granadino Miga. En diciembre de 2011 presentan su 2º álbum de estudio, [Miga45] "Las Hidden Logics", un sorprendente álbum en el que la banda asume todas las tareas de grabación y producción, exceptuando el trabajo en las mezclas del gran Paco Loco.

Durante los últimos 3 años han realizado más de 100 conciertos en diferentes puntos del globo entusiasmando a los amantes del rock en estado puro. Han actuado, con notable éxito, en festivales de la talla de South By Southwest SXSW (Austin, EEUU) en 2009 y 2010, Rock al Parque 2009 (uno de los festivales más grandes de América Latina, que se celebra en Bogotá, Colombia), Primavera Sound 2010, Monkey Week 2009 y 2010, el FIB Benicassim 2006, Festival FFF Ecuador (Benicàssim, España), FNB 2009 (Caracas, Venezuela) o la Bienal Europea 2008 (Bari, Italia). En 2010 realizaron shows y gira conjunta con Sonic Boom de Spacemen 3 y fueron banda de acompañamiento de Damo Suzuki de Can y teloneros de Psychedelic Furs y de Starlickers dentro del ciclo "Meet the residents".

Algunos logros objetivos para una banda que parece empeñada en esquivar el radar mediático y las tendencias para seguir dictando sus normas, diversión y frescura." (Miga Netlabel)
