Rolling Psych/Drone/Freak Thread 2013
Rolling Indie thread 2013
rolling punk / non-indie underground 2013

none of those are sufficiently catch-all for my purposes

i want big things for this thread. i want the world

have fun

here is something I like that is recent:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=780ced41PJ0

i was trying to remember neung phak's name just this afternoon!

people tend to confuse them with dengue fever a lot

Full disclosure - I work with the band but... their next record falls into the catch all premise of the subject and is what some people might call a "return to form"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=oBQfd_EKuK0

love the guitar intro on that, sarahell

glad you liked it!

also, this - I posted about in the noise thread, but it fits fine here imo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6Y26fX_Uh4

yeah that moira scar is pretty awesome

this came out last year but I just heard it

https://soundcloud.com/tigertrap/sets/infants-giant-leg

that^ band broke up maybe two years ago, it was peculiar that the album came out all given that, but fair play

I put them on years back w/ (I think) The Mae Shi which was almost too neat a match really

I like the idea of this thread, but the problem with it is that, unlike pop, dance, metal and hip-hop, music like this is by nature unhappy being categorised and lumped in with other styles so it's gonna be a bit difficult. Still, I'll make a point of keeping up and posting :-)

The music itself is unhappy? It'll do what I bloody say. Not like genre is being forced upon anything - this thread is designed as a loose convocation of as wide a variety as possible of interesting or challenging music. The irony is that only your post ascribes any uniformity of character to potential inclusions.

*bookmarked*

haha, no it's more that dance music, for instance, thrives on being categorised under banners, whereas a lot of rock-based acts don't like to feel they're a part of any scene and I think fans themselves might feel uncomfortable with "ah this new band i just discovered is ripe for the rolling rock thread". maybe not, i dunno... it's where the rolling thread format breaks down for me. I miss outloud.fm.

Is this called the rolling rock thread? Embrace everything and trust that it will respond in kind. Not that it has a choice.

hen I get home I will check out those links :)

I think dog latin's mistake comes from the assumption that this thread is for 'weird rock' or something. Which, you know, would find a home here, but is not what this is about.

I am down with this thread.

*plonks myself on the sofa, looks through your mail*

anyone bring any biscuits?

Some tracks I loved from last year that I would have been blasting you all with in Outloud (RIP) but few if any other people got excited about:

LA Vampires and Maria Minerva - A Lover and a Friend (hipster housey)
Hiss Golden Messenger - Blue Country Mystic (folky, discovered from the EOY nominations)
Yori Horikawa - Bubbles (bubbly)
Discoverer - Personal Clone (bladerunnerwave)
Starring - the best (psych/noise covers of MOR hits seemed to be a thing this year)
Mark McGuire - Surrogate Channels ("Adrenochrome" was my Emeralds jam this year, but MMG's under-the-radar EP was also great)
Tenniscoats - Hikoki (twee post-rock odyssey)
Collarbones - Hypothermia (reminds me of that Autre Ne Veut song, not as catchy but still cool)
Sexy Fi - Pequeno Dictionário das Ruas (RIYL Latin American hipster shit, most "indie rock" thing on this list)
Philipp Matalla - Space Line (more of that space disco I feast on)
Astral Social Club - FRWRKZ RMRK (with Katy Perry!)
Thousand Foot Whale Claw - Phobos (deep space synths)

yeah I think this thread has some value for stuff that slips thru the cracks. like I've been wanting to talk about humanbeast for a while, but not sure where to put them? rolling noise/punk/indie/psych don't really fit what they're doing. they came out of the providence noise/experimental scene but like many have moved into more cold electronic beat stuff, I guess ppl call it fake techno now? dreamy/screamy. after doing a few tapes they've got a proper full length coming out this year, live show is great.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgM1eo2B2HQ

i like that infants stuff! (not surprising that I would, but ...)

I put this on the Latin American hipster shit thread, but I'm still trying to get a response to it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSWRgx8dATg

Basically sounds like poppier, more melodic, take on early industrial and offshoots (TG, Cabaret Voltaire, Psychic TV) to me.

i like that one rudi rockist!

Thanks, scott, I would expect you to like that, but I'm glad you said so. (I found that via Samantha Ann Carillo at the Albuquerque Alibi.)

i like that moira scar thing too posted on here. my brother played a show with those guys and he said they were awesome.

i REALLY like this but i don't know what you guys will think. a tape put out in 2008 but re-released on vinyl in 2012. i just love the sounds. every track is kinda its own thing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Qa23wo14hs

(so, not 2013, but i doubt anyone has heard it...)

I really like it too, scott!

Take that to the rolling macrodub thread.

I like it. We're both easy to please tonight.

if this is thread gets full of stuff like selma oxor and moira scar then relevant to my interests it will be

what's good with TRACEY TRANCE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4c_0-c0fRA

is there a song that involves burping?

i liked the one you posted btw

no burps, just joy. and weed.

Into this new album by Palmbomen right now: http://3voor12.vpro.nl/luisterpaal/albums/Palmbomen.html

It's kind of wavey, but weird in the right ways.

This seems like as good a thread as any for this...

Cool PR guy Howard Wuelfing got me into a show from a band Cinema Cinema this past week, which was super nice of him since I am pretty much retired from musical musing. But I wanted to give them a little hype because the group was pretty impressive. Playing a Monday night opening for a local and with only a handful of attendees, the Brooklyn duo - a bald, bearded, bad-ass guitarist/vocalist and a hyper-kinetic drummer (and they're cousins!) - acted like it was still a matter of life or death.

The group obviously digs Black Flag and it wasn't just the fact the singer/six stringer had a Flag tee on. Or that they apparently toured with Greg Ginn. Though those two factoids make me wish I could compare the band to someone else, it would be inaccurate given the frantic, riff-spazz-riff-spazz-spazz-riff style of the guitarist. To be sure, there are much worse bands to ape.

I picked up an EP and the last CD the band put out entitled "Manic Children & The Slow Aggression." You can stream the whole album on their website. The disc - produced by legendary DC producer Don Zientara at the legendary Inner Ear Studios and self-released - is not quite as good as the show was because Cinema Cinema stuck to the thrash-pop live. Frankly the slower, quieter stuff where he eschews screaming for singing pales in comparison to when the two guys just lose their collective shit. Fortunately they do that a lot more than not.

Here's the video from the album. Fortunately it's for an uptempo track (I think they know where their bread is toasted).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwQVFg3N3gY

Apparently the band will play anywhere they are allowed to plug in and they play out in NYC, Brooklyn and northern NJ relatively often. I recommend seeing Cinema Cinema if the description or recorded stuff is even a little appealing to you because they killed it live.

new shugo tokumaru has a great video, sweet handclaps, and excellent squibbly-voiced backing vocals (which remind me of nothing so much as the psp game loco roco):

http://vimeo.com/58022280

that video is hypnotic

my friend xander made this new video for a song from '11. that phone isn't just a prop, omnivore makes all her music w/ phones and a loop pedal. haunting? yeah.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5qsvinYzEM

whoa, this selma oxor song is the nuts!

you can download the selma oxor EP here

http://s3.amazonaws.com/valevergas-production/zips/15/Selma%20Oxor%20User%2069.zip

yes it's called user 69

it does not disappoint

if you want to support her mission you can buy it for 84 of your mexican dollars

http://selmaoxor.bandcamp.com/album/user-69

Damn. I got people to listen to this after the 2012 poll has already occurred. (Again, I obviously care way too much about these polls.) I listened to one other song from the EP and didn't like it nearly as much but I should check it out.

here's a non-EP single, it's pretty amazing imo

http://vimeo.com/44048515

I mean, just holy shit @ 2:42

yep, just listened to all of that, very impressed - great sonic detail amidst the bangin' tunes (and the tunes themselves don't always go the obvious way)

http://vimeo.com/58047877

"Play basketball with Fidel Castro" sounds like a pretty interesting feature of a live music performance.

Carl's, Jr! Yeah, I see what you mean though. It might be worth it to start paying more attention to underground Mexican and Latin American music generally. Club Fonograma seems like a good site, but I haven't made time to sift through it.

The song is from 2010 but the video is brand new, this guy is one of my all time favourites

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=E0Fqc9IXFe0#!

(It's a track by Mantler, he sings "it's not the words you love / it's the voice of the author / it's not the story spoken / but the impression furnished" with cool simplicity and I die a little)

i want big things for this thread. i want the world

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60tIfsIWd_U

eternal silences, infinite spaces, scared of breathing, rolling this is not a rolling thread two thousand and thirteen

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnzp81EZIJU

^^ love these dudes, check for 'arp navigators' on moon glyph, cool record

moon glyph is a mpls label, they are pretty cool

i like the dude on the last one's voice -- reminds me a little of Alan Vega.

i would be ok with this thread if it had a better name, any ideas?

rolling weird shit 2013

interesting stuff happens in the gaps between genres so stick it in here and see what happens

yeah i support a rename of this thread, anything succinct and inclusive is good

rolling 2013 no genre electroweed and french horn players union

Post-experimental pop-rock continuum.

rolling pop rocks killed mikey 2013

rolling not macho enough to be punk/noise but too weird for indie 2013

haha this thread is hard to define

but at the same time i think i'll know exactly what youtubes to post in it

Eh I dunno if there's a better name to be found, we all have an idea of what the thread is for. I have a category in my head I call "avant-accessible" but it looks pretty corny in writing.

if we agree to a name for this thread it will mean we no longer have a use for it

Katsu!

rolling pop katsudon 2013

That was a zen reference, but the food sounds interesting too.

this was my attempt at a non-lame thread name last year fwiw: rolling off to the forest 2012

rolling avocadocore non-nuum plucking sounds 2013

Lamp, I always felt bad about posting to your forestwave thread because I was never sure exactly what it was about besides "stuff that Lamp likes"

yeah the little voice in my head saying 'call it Rolling Avant-Garde 2013' or worse 'Rolling Art Music 2013' had to be rapidly gagged

reckon the zone of ambiguity suggested by the current title is what's needed, really

it's just ugly and sounds dumb though, i thought off to the forest was a v evocative thread title

i suppose i wanted a fairly functional, didactic title as my mood upon starting it was curt

of course, 'forest' has its own connotations - is there any room for interplanetary molotov-hurlers amidst the dryadic jamboree?

dancing with the dolphins 2013

idk I think (but who knows?) we're going for something broader than forest vibes this time, kind of a big tent for refugees from the forest but also JF's shambala, the defunct dilettantes, Outloud Crüe and divers other ILXors in search of a home.

rolling just ugly and sounds dumb aka YOUR MOM 2013

This thread has gotten off to a pretty good start. I don't think all the hand-wringing is called for, however normal it is.

Not that my opinion should matter much since I don't normally end up listening to much music that would fit into this thread.

that isn't true. if shiina ringo's chestnut chlorine semen thingy album came out now it'd have about 300 posts dedicated to it right here, 150 of which my own

Lamp, I always felt bad about posting to your forestwave thread because I was never sure exactly what it was about besides "stuff that Lamp likes"

it was kinda an attempt at zoning in on the post-hipster zeitgeist, rolling off to the forest was an attempt at kinda head-nodding towards various emerging trends while also repping for big knut hamsun whos novels seemed to be part of the thing as well. thread didnt really turn out to be good for much although i think it was the first place that 'new for u' showed up on ilx, small distinctions i guess...

anyway david markson, spiritual poverty, early 80s wastelands, 'gaspard de le nuit' and roxy music playing in the background of parties, no one owns a laptop anymore, the do not touch them cassette on forced nostalgia, eugene ludins and disparate scando landlovers all went by unmemorialized, willing to start afresh with something less ambitious and less vague maybe the sound of icebergs melting idk

"Rolling..." was one of my favourite recent ILM threads because of the clear sense of an underlying curatorial vision. But because that vision felt so personal, I was never sure whether the stuff I posted really fit in.

Alternatively: my understanding is that this thread is a big tent and doesn't preclude more targeted explorations of any particular aesthetic.

i just think having a nice name at the top would be nice but w/e

rolling off to the forest was m y favorite ilm thread last year even though i never actually contributed to it

on the experimental tip, you all should head over to my neck of the woods this weekend for the noisecapades. 5 minute sets on the ice.

"rolling phantom brain exchanges (are such fun) 2013" would be a good thread title

ha i like this

the only valid reason to change the thread title is that it is not sufficiently inviting to wackos who should be posting in it eg milton parker

yeti mike posted this on facebook today. and the thread title does say "rock" so...anyway, i thought someone here might like it. cuz you guys love ty seagull right?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcNY7yw_ZI0

ilx indie rock fans might like this album too. i'm trying to be nicer to indie rock fans. my friend rob put it out. greenfield, ma's finest record label, sedimental (rob put out the first stars of the lid album so he's got space rock cred). sorry, 2012, but you probably didn't buy it. vinyl only, i think.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vStWoF8tF8A

xp - i will text milton and tell him to post here ok?

yes plz

not a big ty seagull fan but that fuzz stuff is a treat

and me, apparently
also jon lewis

those are three pretty good reasons if i do say so myself
i would not have voluntarily read/clicked rock/indie/alt anything

and probably like a zillion other wonderful people who also would not feel partic compelled to click on rock/indie/alt first three words

I skipped it till I saw it mentioned on the end of year thread.

See?

really enjoying these Opal Tapes jams:
http://opaltapes.bandcamp.com/track/green-dome-bottomless

La Lechera, please come back to the rolling Afro-Latin thread (not that we're currently talking about much of anything, as usual). I was just kidding when I said death to indie cumbia. Sorry, don't mean to give off stalker vibes sending you anonymous suggestions to listen to the Zazen Boys. (Also, please send photos.)

Also, so what do you think this thread should be called? The best thing about this thread was its running spontaneous takeoff.

its like a rorschach test. the thread title.

who doesn't want to rock?

You didn't give off bad vibes! I voted for Potato Salad in the tracks poll because its name made me laugh every time I saw it.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see who hears the ringing batsignal coming from this thread. I think it should be called Potato Salad (not really)

That explains the mystery of the other vote.

this is so good

yeah i'm so down w/ that

how about something with "out" in the name, like "the rolling out thread"?

we should just take over this thread rolling molly ratchet thread 2013

ha

like the time travel idea best of all suggestions, has my blessing

either that or 'rolling counterforce 2013'

the escape from temporal constraints in ed's title suggests a similar musical excursion

xp so... can we do it? any mods itt?

can't read the whole thread right now, but was their discussion / narrowing of what this thread is actually about?

This thread is about Chinese classical music.

it is about apes and imminence

Potato salad

tamarins and the men who love them

I was blasting my favorite part of "Potato Salad" just as I drove past a bus stop with lots of high school kids a while back. I knew they would be curious. Who is this partly gray haired man driving around blasting that music?

Well, this is from last year too, but as long as I am talking about it:

Once this becomes the rolling time travel thread 2013 -> 1987 -> 1836 -> 3954, I feel like this can no longer be the rolling anti Team Tim thread.

speaking of world music - my friend did this mix thing that I like a lot

pretty awesome mix, lotsa good tracks in there

ATTN space/motorik/psych crew: Föllakzoid II

Ooh, I liked the other thing I heard by them (I guess that would be 'Föllakzoid I'), will check this out.

Also I need to clear some time to go through this whole thread, I've not really participated fully yet.

holy hell @ selma oxor, this is exactly what I want rn. been jamming the EP on repeat all day. QUIERO MAS

that föllakzoid record is awesome
love the neu! motorik drums

I made myself a little selma oxor comp, basically "lo que quiero", "mecsicko", and the EP. can't get enough of it.

xp

Omg she has a track called mecsicko?! That's one for the "songs you like on principle" thread <3

it's great

love this, ty

tuareg geeks is a really good band name

here's negative youth mexico, a compilation with an industrial strength selma oxor track, it pretty much smokes everything around it

I don't know. I like "Mexican Mexico." Pretty out there tribal guarachero.

yeah, there's good trax on there but selma brings personality to the party. switching effortlessly between party girl and gothy blood drinker, this steez is rare.

hitting the echo loop at the end of a scream is an oft-played card in the electro casino but that moment when she turns from scream to siren is some bewitching blackjack

So, MBV eh?

I've heard of 'em!

Thanks to goole for starting the thread, I had not been keeping up with R.A.E.D's last three albums

latepass thread on youtube rapper R.A.E.D. (riyl northern bleep, farrah abraham, suicide, tonetta)

I have no idea what's going on itt, but just scanning it I've already heard a bunch of great stuff. Keep it up, whatever it is.

OK, following the thread of Selma Oxor, who is (are?) awesome, has turned me on to Bam Bam. Which also seems great. Modern Mexican psych, or something like that.

bang bros were trying to break the record for most shows performed in one day by playing in 12 cities on 12/12/12... I missed the PVD show, did they end up succeeding? even if they only did 10 I guess they'd break the flaming lips' record.

The Dominique Leone one-song-for-every-day-of-2013 thing has broken my brain and needs as much exposure as possible: http://dominiqueleone.bandcamp.com/album/january

On the very slight offchance none of you have bothered with the MBV album, tracks 7 and 9 (In Another Way and Wonder 2) are pretty much as good as this thread's gonna get all year, IMO

'Moses And Melvis' (January 13's song) is just slaying me

whoa, wtf dominique

love the diachronic/internoise/island-of-misfit-death-disco slant of the thread, so I’m gonna run w/that f/a minute and add Colin Newman’s new-to-me melted-genre nod Troisieme from lol ’80. could prob. go in this threadbut it’s such a sweet mess of proto-techno stomp, martial guitar + drums from the ghost of Swans future, rinky piano plonking, sax lost in reverb, Fripp-ish guitar, and pop vox w/ hints of Bowie damage that it snaps in here w/out effort, so w/e: http://youtu.be/fNEkicBxe2o

-now back to your regularly fucked etc:

Profligate - Conditioning Trench (Outmode Remix): Not Not Fun recs should have their own corner office itt, and lately I’ve been digging Profligate’s techno-pop-alt-interzone-noise-bangers from last year’s Videotape EP. the straight toons are okay, but the remixes bring the broken wonder that nestles nicely w/ Mexican blood-sucking cheerleader anthems. Conditioning Trench in partic swings a manic, ominous bounce that attains the elusive toga party/suicide kiosk ratio alluded to by EIII: http://youtu.be/POr-dw5Bl7o

Profligate - Videotape (DJ mdmHEY Remix): starts off w/soothing factory churn, slides into atonal industrial techno, and then takes the last four minutes stumbling into melting-head ambient for all your dystopian needs. I’m sure there’s an electro-smog corner somewhere itt: http://youtu.be/SXMeZ_w4eFY

A-Z rules. everyone on earth should own that album. i love all his 80's stuff, but that is a serious album. its a work of art. he hit the decade running. it should definitely be as famous as any famous post-punk record. but i don't know if it is.

funny you should mention profligate, maralie from the aforeposted humanbeast directed a video for him

ooooh cool

as E3 mentioned in their apportioned thread, Pinkish Black def belongs in this thread, esp when they release a new album this year. EZSnappin, who knows them, tells me that the drummer has been taking cues from Jaki for the new stuff

so yeah, speaking of space rock w/ black metal vocals, was pleased to hear pinkish black copping that feel on "tell her I'm dead". PB get a lotta comparisons to suicide for some reason which I guess is gonna happen when you play repetitive fuzzed out keyboard shit, but just cuz you use a whammy bar doesn't mean you need to mention van halen. if suicide were desaturated 1950s rock filtered thru urban future shock then pinkish black is hi-def 1850s baroque shot into the milky way. there's something playful/cartoonish in the music, which is nice compared to the usual blacker-than-thou nonsense, and tho I get their cred w/ the metal crowd, they're jammed sideways between genre cracks and straining towards the sky like some silver apples/rainbow/hawkwind mashup, yup def time travelers and btw check out this reet vid.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7tR0zn3zo0

and thx imago, I was aware dominique was doing the song a day thing but got intimidated @ the thought of keeping up, yr post goaded me to dip in

didn't get too far but ava mendoza's skronk on "UB313" sure tickled my fancy

Pinkish Black are less Suicide now (not that it was ever huge, as Edward points out) or anything else in particular and more something entirely new. Definitely some heavier krautrock in the drumming but the keys and vocals are confidently carving out their own space and sound. If the live versions are anything to go by the new record is gonna be amazing, but I don't expect as warm a reception from the metal community. The vaguely metal bit of their mix of influences has been steadily disappearing over the past year, though they are still loud and intense as hell.

But take everything I say with a grain of salt. I've quickly lost any sense of proportion when it comes to these guys and am straight up cheerleading for them these days.

MOTHERFUCKER

Pinkish Black are the fucking NUTS. That song mangled me!

First album is on Bandcamp, broheem. Against the Door is a personal favorite

it's not a zillion miles away from being a much, much more fun (and bass-driven/choral) iteration of nu-Horrors

the album that got talked up a bit on here last year didn't really click w/ me but this track is cool. seems like everything the Beak> album was striving for, but in six minutes

side b of that album (last 3 tracks) is really special, much better than side a, enormous music. and 'against the door' hasn't even started yet!

Love seeing these guys get fans.

'against the door' was if I'm not wrong a whopping great Magma invocation, with more electronics. approval, lots of approval.

I think so, but I haven't asked them directly. The 70s signifiers like Magma, Can and Goblin are really strong in their music without them sounding retro.

yes. not to borrow so much as to refract.

well, the best thing about that album was that it felt like the *start* of something, as if they have plenty in reserve and having tested the waters are about to unleash the fucking kraken

and that it actually made me stop listening to dominique leone for half an hour. seriously, if nothing else gets released this year I think I'd happily subsist on his project alone. ah but then there's mbv, autechre.......2013 is shaping up brilliantly

just wanted to point out that covering stickmen w/ rayguns proves their hearts are in the right place

maybe if i put this here, someone will tell me where i should post it -- also, not bad!
Cyclopean is a collaboration from Burnt Friedman, Jono Podmore and Can founding members Jaki Liebezeit, and Irmin Schmidt.

nice!!

Cool, I really liked the last Secret Rhythms album so I'll check this out!

iirc Tuomas is the big Burnt Friedman fan round these parts but he will probably have no inclination to open this thread

William Bennett’s latest performance-art project Cut Hands surfaces in at least four different threads (world music, noise, mutant techno and DJ mix), so I’m dragging his increasingly prestigious mongrel squall to squat w/its kindred freaks itt. musically, Bennett’s bolting together ambient, industrial, world music and post-techno into a suggestive but too-restrained clunk ‘n drone, but I’m willing to entertain the possibility of advanced-level prankster trolling via Merchant/Ivory-in-leather-trousers mockery. conceptually, Cut Hands seems to be an intentionally overloaded bag o’ signifiers w/ the interpretive Ouroboros expected from a white “racist” provocateur reverently presenting so-quantized-it’s-gonna-crack “trad” Afro-tribal music alternately sprinkled w/ both skronk and schlock and framed in 19th-century dark-continent tripe that’s juggled w/ post-colonial critique (Cut Hands, ffs) and performance-theory gloss. the joke is essentially so all-encompassing that it implodes into synthetic sincerity, but these three tunes are cool, so w/e:

Backlash: http://youtu.be/6pTA3UfS-Yg
Shut Up and Bleed: http://youtu.be/wdakwL8cfNc
Bia Mintatu: http://youtu.be/1gZwk3ia7w0

I’ve been meaning to write about Portal f/ a while, so I’m gonna claim their new rec Vexovoid f/ the folk-atrocity gallery before it mistakenly finds its way to the rolling metal thread. all four Portal recs are great, and w/ Vexovoid Portal continue to furrow obsessively towards an elusive Jandek/Burzum/Merzbow continuum that drives them to vomit endless variations of lysergic sewer-metal. I think these kooks grokked a ruined map in Kerry King’s solos and used it to build a horribly misshapen template of groaning-collapse guitars, intermittent and asynchronous drums possibly from a Roland that's been smashed w/ a bat, and goddamn-the-sun vox that collectively power-ooze w/ meth urgency. Portal don’t “rock” so much as they lurch and sink and swell, concocting noise/psych/jazz/metal that’s arguably awful instead of avant-garde, but idgaf ‘cause this is the tr00 death-ambient shit-show that I need to spin f/hours to quiet multiple brain fevers.

at the risk of sounding as dumb as I prolley am, what is the inference of post colonial critique in the phrase 'cut hands'?

Posted on one of the Dead C threads, showing it how its done yet again!

at the risk of sounding as dumb as I prolley am, what is the inference of post colonial critique in the phrase 'cut hands'?

iirc hand amputation was employed by (some) Euro colonists to discipline African workers for failing to meet production quotas during the 19th and early 20th century. "critique" is prob. too blunt f/Bennett's MO, and while "Cut Hands" foregrounds colonial violence, I think Bennett generally portrays violence as a conduit to truth, and in this particular context as an essential if problematic ingredient to 20th-century African musical contribution (perhaps pushing against Adorno's views on jazz). in any event, I think he's more interested in fostering difference than ideology, making him more trickster than activist. my only ish w/the project is the sketchbook quality of the tunes, which are both too short and oddly stiff (w/drums that sound sampled and sequenced rather than played). I also suspect that Black Mamba's turn towards new age gloop is the result of an intentional play against type f/ added frisson, which is interesting but academic. IMO the entire project should've been built w/Backlash as the cornerstone, but atm noize is critical to my mental health, so grain o' salt etc.

Jon was wearing a Magma shirt and belt buckle last night, and Daron laughingly told me that "Against The Door" is their mini-Magma tribute. So a very astute observation.

new purling hiss... not into it

http://blog.irockcleveland.com/2013/02/19/play-me-mercury-retrograde-by-purling-hiss/

think I'm helping to put them on in a few months. do they bring it in the live situation?

when i saw them they were touring off that woodsist lp which was imo their worst release so they played a bunch of that... the material off hissteria or the s/t rips p hard but isn't as drugged out/crazy effects as i would have liked, at times they cand sound pretty classic rock bar band. the good moments were really good and i would catch them again

new track is way too dinosaur jr for me

i've never been into in the side of the band that's not blown out ott hard rock freak out though

i'm digging all the new purling hiss stuff

i would LOVE to hear a cleaned up 'run from the city'

is fake techno time travel? discuss.

http://freemusicarchive.org/curator/FMA/blog/The_Real_Scoop_on_Fake_Techno

new Hiss is solid, but i agree with flopson that they're best at blown-out-freak-out-ing.

Hissteria is an all-time classic hard rock/guitar record, imo

is fake techno time travel? discuss.

surprised to hear heavy influence of critically loathed breakcore/chiptune (names none dare speak) + liberal chunks of mutant techno, hipster house, Imminent Starvation/Converter, Space Streakings, Fuck Buttons, Mindflayer, Pan Sonic/Vladislav Delay, Shit 'n Shine, Brainiac/Six Finger Satellite, Not Not Fun, Heatsick, Dan Deacon, Black Dice, Dominick Fernow, Digital Hardcore, etc. (Harms inadvertently drags everything under the FT banner, but w/e.)

"fake techno" seems a bit #seapunk/#vaporwave f/shit that's been building f/ over thirty years, but at least won't give the purists a collective stroke like "hipster house" (not to badmouth stroke-gifting to purists). Mincemeat, Mutwawa & Humanbeast are entertaining enough tho & fit the thread.

yeah I like the fake techno handle cuz it short circuits the usual microgenre authenticity concern trolling and returns a brownout of non-aspirational definition by absence etc

EZ guess:

"fake techno" a kind of fuck-off notion analogous w/ the vehement olde tyme punk-rock disavowal of playing/enjoying/aesthetically taking part in rock 'n roll to psychologically demolish its accreted/ponderous traditions and clear the maximum amount of cultural space f /new endeavors (negativespacecore).

tl;dr:

my toxic-distillation-cartoon-takeaway from "fake techno": techno has an obsessive next-level/futurist narrative that's "progressive" but also a fucking drag b/c it's so conservatively maintained. this DNA-level code is an engine of sonic innovation, but also breeds cultish trainspotting fuckwad frenzy, curdles techno production into joyless, cold-war creepcraft, and at its very worst plays out like a perpetual-motion-Fleshlight-lubed-w/-Axe-dialectic-to-doucheville. you might say, then, that fake-techno-as-wave-manque is willing to pass on the fruits of techno's cultural capital for a license to royally fuck shit up, accepting the inevitability of general mockery, accusations of ineptitude and lack of recognition from the lol gatekeepers of techno proper (whoever the fuck they are, idk this is myth/#artdrone/making-shit-up-as-I-go). (EIII as we speak getting ready to disavow any mention of negativespacecore and wave manque.)

ps: I really like techno, but I'm an old way off the demographic chart f/ Mincemeat, so w/e. they're prob. just blowing shit up f/ laffs and good f/ them.

"Fake" seems like a huge cop-out. More like "I suck at techno, I'll just call it fake"

At least vaporwave n shit revels in its inherent shittiness

Fake Techno's a term I used to describe my music starting back a couple years ago. I was working with a lot of effects and feedback loops trying to approximate the structure and sounds of techno, and it sounded good but without drum machines, synths, music making stuff, it didn't really work. It wasn't noise but it wasn't techno so I decided it was the fake version of techno.

Dude no just keep workin at it or go back to yr feedback fx and loops (blaugh)

Or just call it industrial

Sorry, having an Andy Rooney moment :/

unmusic

mmm no hellhouse it's more like if u were to hear someone say "so... u heard about this 'fake techno' stuff?" they would not sound cool, and *that's* cool

yer both right imo

"Punk" seems like a huge cop-out. More like "I suck at rock, I'll just call it punk"

we might want to chill just a bit

always felt like imago wd like/wd've liked nøught, to get timetravelly:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYzc7T3A8ak

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYzc7T3A8ak

's okay it's fake criticism.

xxp

hey Fizzles, I already discovered them during a search for online reviews of Lapsus Linguae! Not much of their stuff around but it fucking rules, yes :)

Oh, are Nought not still going or is the "timetravelly" in reference to the thread title?

I assumed they would keep on gigging only in London and never releasing anything forever. I prefer to imagine that the one album that does exist doesn't exist as it was such a pale shadow of their live selves, so I guess that was a good decision in a way.

Please get a time machine and see their late 90s trio lineup live, before the first drummer broke his arm and the bassist/double-bassist was replaced by a hardcore dude and the album was sat on for years; must've seen them ten times in two years, counting the ever-growing length of Ignatius, longer longer every gig before the drill came in...

(At that point they were quite tightly intertwined with Camp Blackfoot, who I believe imago is aware of. Suspect there was some bad blood at some point though. I'm not who I was then either. And, sorry to wander in. I'm not really sure what musical essence this thread is a quest for, so it's been on my to-do list to spend a spare hour or two listening to all the youtubes until I work it out, but here I am just babbling away anyway.)

wait, so in a nutshell: musical dilettantism wrapped in a hyphen-heavy word blanket?

y

i didn't go to art school, this is not a language i speak :)

you're still talking about edward's post? idkwtf is going on in hellhouse's post but i'm surprised you can't parse edward's, and there is only one hyphen in it

ok this part is good & u should understand this: "you might say, then, that fake-techno-as-wave-manque is willing to pass on the fruits of techno's cultural capital for a license to royally fuck shit up, accepting [anticipating] the inevitability of general mockery, accusations of ineptitude and lack of recognition from the lol gatekeepers of techno proper"

I barely went to school let alone art school

Nought are very much still going, possibly better than ever - saw a fantastic gig just the other week, with Alex Ward (ex Camp Blackfoot) and his new project Dead Days Beyond Help. Timetravelly was the fact that Redrag is from some time ago, as you say. Don't think there was any bad blood as such, and the former Camp Blackfoot core have put together an excellent and vv strange CD of Camp Blackfoot-y new material to be released later this year.

stoked! camp blackfoot album is excellent, yeah. let me know next time there's a gig!

right because punk was a response to bloated boring rock and fake techno was a response to really great techno being released all the time

golden age of techno, fake technos just don't get it

the former Camp Blackfoot core have put together an excellent and vv strange CD of Camp Blackfoot-y new material to be released later this year.

ok I very much need to hear this! Glad to hear the other things in your post too.

I have now done approx. half of my homework of listening to the youtubes on this thread and I'm still not entirely sure I know what is and what isn't within its remit but I'm liking the noises. Think I might be liking what I thought "fake techno" meant before listening more than the actual "fake techno" so far but I'm interested to hear more.

For those who are like me and get behind on listening to the stuff posted here, I've put together a youtube playlist, so no need to click through everything.

I've included all things linked to on youtube in this thread, except La Lech's Cyclopean video, which doesn't show up for me, and the two Portal tracks, which have been removed.

Nice. I have listened to a bunch of things posted here (not all), but having a playlist will make it easier to just put some music on and see what jumps out at me.

this is a v. cool idea, so I've gone ahead and re-upped the P0rt@1 tracks under a slightly different guise (we'll see if this v. crude funny-nose-and-glasses gambit thwarts the sleepless rights managers at PL, or if YouTube p. much already has my DNA mapped and just scans my thoughts through the keyboard at this point).

this is one of my favourite weirdo discoveries of the year so far

http://muun.bandcamp.com/track/stained-glass

implodes, from chicago

http://vimeo.com/63088303

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S996mM-HBiY

love them!! ken camden is all around trustworthy imo. i like his solo stuff as much as implodes, maybe more sometimes? if you like this, see also white/light if you have not already. a+++

new record seems like a leap forward? transformed from umber murk gods to glittering space lords

I guess they don't need a narrative, I just really dig the production on this

If you're that interested, you should search also: bitchin bajas if you dig an analog space vibe. Woo Chicago!

I will check them out!

listened to some ken camden stuff, sounds like the shimmering production of his solo joint got grafted onto implodes' heretofore dank steez for the new record

totally
lotsa good stuff here https://soundcloud.com/bitchin-bajas/

i really liked the one bitchin bajas record that i heard, had quite a strong terry riley vibe to it iirc.

with implodes, i absolutely loved the first album and still play it a lot now. have given the new one a few spins so far and yeah, the sound is good, but aside from a couple of obvious tracks, none of the rest of the songs are really jumping out at me all that much at the moment. will stick with it though.

my new drone crush btw is golden retriever who i've been v slow in getting on board with, but they're a duo from portland who do really beautiful stretched-out analogue synth stuff. got a good soft sunny glow to them, it's like having an s.a.d. lamp in the room with you

oh wait, this isn't the drone thread duh

it's ok I won't call the cops

there's a drone thread?!

oh wait nvm i knew about that thread

I tried reading that thread once but it just went on and on

^take it to the groan thread imo

irl lol!

Speaking of psych thread, I just linked to the new album from my other favorite TX spacerock band currently working,: Sungod. Has some Floyd parallels, as was noted, but really does a neat melding of ambient and acid rawk.

Doesnt quite belong here but I figured Id alert you good folks to its presence since I quite like it so

Love this - Emeralds-esque retro synth party meets an 80s Kip Hanrahan/Fourth World/Terry Riley kinda vibe:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KJEAfSJH60

Feels like I've been spamming the board with this one, but it might be of interest here. It's a track off the Dustin Wong/Takako Minekawa collaboration that comes out v. soon. Highly pleasant!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHZNisAZwjU

Damn it, that's lovely.

this is NSFW or maybe anywhere else

http://vimeo.com/64564103

it's what I expected/wanted Frank Ocean to sound like. seriously fucking impressed

Thanks for the soundcloud link. I think all the touchstones you guys have mentioned make sense. But not my thing in the end.

Like many of my contributions itt, I have no idea whether or not this belongs here or on psych/drone, but this is kind of alright cool; Mexican band puts their demo on bandcamp, calls themselves experimental-drone-noise-psychedelic, but mostly just sounds like loud earnest instrumental garage rock, though this has a pleasing high pitched noise over top which kind of gives it a bit of a weird vibe:

http://espinosopez.bandcamp.com/track/damos-un-paseo

ah ok this is even more time travelly,: d'oh!

No idea whether this belongs on the Balearic thread, the beardo thread or some other non-existent thread, so I'm putting it here:

Sorry for the flagrant abuse of this thread btw

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqAi4DRORRM

Just listening to that Lucrecia Dalt album on Spotify. It's good! One for seandalai to hear methinks.

I had a dream that someone outside ILM was mentioning this thread--it might have even been in a book--but somehow in connection with salsa. Forgot to make note of it at the time, so it's all very vague now.

preview track from the humanbeast record. lifestyle music for penthouse dungeon enthusiasts and those east berlin nostalgia creeps I've been seeing everywhere...

https://soundcloud.com/load-records/humanbeast-chandelier

surprised it took this long to reach the hipster house section itt. Chandelier is cool but I was expecting more swagger from a humanbeast (ie: where the fuck is my noize, though it admittedly swings w/ soothing urban dreadcraft). idk, f/ fucked 4x4, I think these trax are p. sweetly debased:

LA Vampires + Ital – A Woman is a Woman: http://youtu.be/XwTgxTWpBUQ
LA Vampires + Ital – Tons of Love: http://youtu.be/PgrtnZvbRXk

(always thought Mr. Ital was pushing a PCP-based Dr. Moreau gambit to see how much funk and gospel he could rip out of house’s core in the same fashion as no-wave musicians attempting to strip the blues out of their rock [quite a bit, as it turns out, but to the predictably diminishing returns of all self-amputation sprees]).

while we're here, another mutant almost-post-house pick (sry f/old):

Doldrums – I'm Lost in My Head: http://youtu.be/frEQqPK5Gks

(prefer to think of this as veiled/mutant drum ‘n bass tbh, needs a Paradox remix stat).

have also been meaning to post a couple of the musicbox-kissed-with-a-hammer hymns warbling away in Maria Minerva’s last rec:

Maria Minerva – The Star: http://youtu.be/t87xcEu451E
Maria Minerva – Coming of Age: http://youtu.be/cDKYT6ZNl2E

(A+ f/ The Star, which glorps a handful of Residents over tweaked pop.)

putting this in time travel because this band totally made me feel like 1988
i went to see bitchitronics friday night, and the 2nd opening band was radar eyes, which is tagged all wrong in the link below -- not psychedelic at all by my standards, somewhat frosty/noisy cerebral rock might be a little more accurate?
it was my first time seeing them -- to me they kind of sounded like a hybrid of the church and the verlaines? i dunno. maybe someone else. definitely late 80s vocals. they're not new around here or anything, i just never saw them before. regretting that!
anyway iirc they played this song and i enjoyed it http://radareyes.bandcamp.com/track/dreaming-of-giants

i have a lot of time for the radar eyes album, nice lazy, garagey flying nun vibes

Love this, kind of YMO sounding cute synths.

Cantaloupe - Splish
http://hellothor.amazingtunes.com/tunes/186803

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o161ddNCiyg

Been listening to Justin Walter's new album (Lullabies & Nightmares), which has just come out on Kranky. Lots of super-nice synth loops and trumpety sounds, good ambient music to work to imo.

No idea where to put this because blues control has been ALL over the place, but I just picked up valley tangents today and it's all over the place in a good way. At least IMO. I found it in the "experimental" section ?! Pretty straight ahead jams to me. Recommended!

First two songs on Valley Tangents are my favorites

Track 4 on the These New Puritans album - V (Island Song) - has ended me. It's just so fucking special.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2013/may/30/these-new-puritans-popandrock?commentpage=1

Xp - Agree! The end of the first two songs was the point when i felt compelled type that post but the second side was good too, just a little more subdued.

Blues Control are such a genuinely odd band. I'd probably say that my favorite release from them that I've heard was A Full Tank but I'm not even sure I've listened to that the whole way through. My favorite track:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mT_p8Cc6-oE

haha im gonna be @ the toronto show, say whats up

ha! I'm not in humanbeast, but for future reference their feet look like this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zm9UTv4X3lI

that however will not stop me from saying lamp, whats up

whoa man a lamp is the star of that video it's all synchronicity & serendipity dont u see

I saw Guerila Toss once but the screechy four-year-old-having-a-temper-tantrum style vocals were just not doing it for me

yeah abrasion is part of the equation there but when she jumps around I start jumping around in sympathetic response and that always gets the party going... and not to get all muso about it but she's not just screeching randomly, there's a v strong & real adherence of the vocals to the krazy rhythms and that's harder to do than it looks, which is maybe akin to saying you simply MUST admire the delicate form of the person gently tapping a ten penny nail into yr ear

so yeah they're def not for everybody, maybe just me + sarahel

I mean I like foot village and black pus and captain ahab and a bunch of loud noisy shit, but something abt her specific frequency of screeching is v not for me

10kHz imo

6.5 MONTREAL - DRONES CLUB w ANGELS IN AMERICA, WERMAGGETERMITE WAGON

dude i'll be there tonight!

awesome! they are great live. supersweet ppl to boot.

ah you won't be there?

I wish!

show ruled, loved humanbeast

if lamp goes to the toronto show tonight and I can convince la lechera to hit the chicago date, that's a pretty good ilxor-to-show ratio.

did you pick up a CD, flopson? amusing typo on the security sticker, or at least it passed for comedy at 1am last tues.

nah i spent my last 5 bucks on a russian tsarlag tape

wait what am i supposed to do again?

Go see Humanbeast!

saturday night, humanbeast, and you

6.8 CHICAGO - SITUATIONS w ANDY ORTMANN, BOMB BANKS

where? i am familiar with andy ortmann, that's something. i'll think about it!

also what is a humanbeast?

they're pretty crazy, like heavy ass synth beats, occasional shreaking female vocals

like last night was a typical sparsely attended noize show, but i'd imagine they'd be even better in like, a super crowded dance party

I'd be going to the Philly show except OH WAIT THERE IS NONE >:[

i will consider it -- but i have to know where to go first. i found a video of a girl shrieking and doing some fly dance moves but no location for this mystery show.

they play philly fairly often due to profligate affiliation, think they were trying to squeeze out dates in order to make it to the west coast, but it does impair the ilxor-to-show ratio for this tour

but here are some more representative humanbeast samplings for LL so maybe I can get the stats back up, I can get you secret location and/or handshake if you wanna go

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgM1eo2B2HQ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zm9UTv4X3lI

this sounds pleasant, but v complicated
what do i have to do to learn the simple location of this show -- i promise not to tell anyone uncool

so what thread is it cool for me to post cloudy, vibey, instrumental rap beats on?

That sounds pretty good to me, Jordan.

i don't know but i'd like to hear them

LL yr email attached to your ilx webmail & such?

yup

Just listened to the first one, but that is excellent.

Run by KEXP DJ Alex Ruder, Hush Hush Records places a spotlight on the emotional and introspective sound known as "Night Bus," a multi-genre aesthetic that elaborates on the world of headphones, late-night travels, intimate encounters, and contemplative rides on public transportation. 

Let's get emotional.

This Quicksails album is a damn pleasant a way of realigning yr neurons, possibly the best thing I've heard on Spectrum Spools so far. Love that track just there, sounds like a devotional synth jamming with a percolator full of hot mud.

http://www.fluid-radio.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Kwaidan-make-all-the-hell-of-dark-metal-bright-album-cover-1.jpg

If anyone's after some sinister heavy drone music, the new Kwaidan album is really amazing. It's one of the guys from Locrian and one of the guys from Zelienople plus some other Chicago bloke. Really abyssal sounds, like peering into the deepest of wells and feeling like the darkness down there simply has no end. Album is called Make All The Hell Of Dark Metal Bright. Sorry if that image is a bit big, but it's got a really lovely cover too imo.

okay, I just dropped a 100-track playlist into the Spotify thread that may be of interest to fellow freaks itt. mutant/fake drum 'n bass through a techno/industrial/noize prism, starts off v. tastefully and then degenerates w/ a steady hand into pointless, obsessive and delightful beat-smashing. hours of future-primitive anomie f/ yr inner Mr. Humongous.

Man, I am so into Selma Oxor right now! Also, this is one of my favorite tracks of 2013 so far (idk what, if any, "rolling" thread that it would naturally belong to so it's going here)

^^^ love this. the track was prob. digitally hatched, but its evocation of elliptical analogue skew administers a hypnotic dose of imperfection (yesterday found myself subscribing w/ terrifying enthusiasm to unregistered's Spotify playlist of hiss anthems).

i've been listening to this a lot and i like it. i just realized it reminds me of the wicked farleys (and yeah, the swirlies)

so this is where ppl are talking about humanbeast? i'll have to check in here more.

yeah this new humanbeast alb is pretty epic

Just found out about this from a post over on EMF. Polish post-rock, but not all stiff, to my ears, like so much of that stuff.

http://stararzeka.bandcamp.com/album/cie-chmury-nad-ukrytym-polem-cd-instant-classic

First track is mostly pretty gorgeous so far and should push lots of the right buttons for folks on this thread.

I have been listening to that Stara Rzeka album today and it is fucking incredible.

I should listen again. I lost interest at some point. Kind of not the best moment to switch over to it since I've got DJ Q playing. Uh oh Team Tim infiltration. (Though maybe DJ Q occasionally belongs on this thread?)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeUurGprP6M

There's a pretty good album of punky improvised music right here on this Bandcamp page by this Argentinian band called Ricarda Cometa that's free to download and worth giving a whirl if you like that sort of thing (amazing cover art too, I should really post that on that other thread). There's a bit of wonky kumbia going on, lots of scratchy guitar & drum kineticism like they've been listening to the Ex or the Dog Faced Hermans or someone, some of the whole Beefheartian jazzified guitar scrabble makes me think of Joe Baiza or Eugene Chadbourne. All kind of low-key, but plenty of fun nonetheless.

Wow, it's well worth doing a GIS for Hideyuki Katsumata who's the artist that did the cover art for that record. I don't know them at all but there's some stunning drawings there.

brooklyn is time travel central tomorrow, both selma oxor and humanbeast/russian tsarlag are playing shows

phemale is opening for the latter which is I dunno watch this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HHf93Vj2cs

hellhouse and I will be at one if not both of these shows ^

This has been mentioned in few other threads but doesn't seem to have been mentioned here (and it seems like it should be): that Troller record is really incredible. Didn't think I'd enjoy as much as I did. Pretty spooky. Ethereal, floaty female vocals. Dark and slinky synth grooves. Killer album cover.

http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h204/misterpinnacle/omgvinyl/troller_web_small.png

I have been listening to that Stara Rzeka album today and it is fucking incredible.

Wow, I totally second this. That Stara Rzeka album is out there. SO FUCKING GOOD.

despite the disingenous "anything goes" I feel a bitb naughty posting norwegian MORish synthpop around here but I wanted to regoster that I have been enjoying about half of the annette gil album. Touch Me Feel Me, aka If You Wanna Win Wins's Heart SAMPLE GOBLIN:

http://pitchfork.com/features/update/9189-yamantaka-sonic-titan/

I love that band.

They are my freoinds so I'm biased but yeah what a great fuckin band

Yeah they are fantastic

Prefer them live to on record (so far) but I will definitely be checking out the new album.

Hey EIII, Humanbeast got a stellar review on Resident Advisor:

http://www.residentadvisor.net/review-view.aspx?id=13457

right on, it's a great record. tiny mix tapes liked it a lot too: http://www.tinymixtapes.com/music-review/humanbeast-venus-ejaculates-into-the-banquet

they did a 4 hour performance at the RISD museum a couple weeks ago which I thought I'd wander in and out of but they were pretty darn captivating, wish I could've stayed for the whole thing

man i don't know why at first i thought i was really repulsed by this music but i can't stop listening to blanche blanche blanche - wooden ball, on nna tapes... anyone else heard it/have thoughts? hard to tell which song is most representative cause the songs are short and have really fast transitions but this one has a youtube video and is called ted talks lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9ptUVhs1UU

I was on the fence until the YEAHHH @ 0:49

this is my possibly favorite electronic track ever and i don't think it was even officially released, made by an acquaintance around 2002-3. i uploaded it to youtube because i don't want it to die on my hard drive (or those of ~5 friends)

video uh oh i am having a fantasty posted is cool, nice lead guitar

yeah apparently that dude recorded the entire album himself

Torn Hawk aka Luke Wyatt has f/ the past year been grinding away at the parameters of lo-fi bedroom-psych, releasing roughly 900 tracks that gyrate between v-wave, outsider/hipster house, noise, instrumental hip-hip and ramshackle krautrock contraptions for L.I.E.S., Beer on the Rug and I'll put 90% odds on Not Not Fun w/in six months. his best work atm is opiate-laced motorik rambling heavily scented w/ v-wave’s urban anomie (+ occasional psych guitar thrown in f/ full genre demolition):

Torn Hawk - Shock Tape: http://youtu.be/iduOpG1yxN4
Torn Hawk - Mark of the Hound: http://youtu.be/CUqYTxURVAk
Torn Hawk + Karen Gwyer: Gauze (Sped): http://youtu.be/GnbpS2LKI4E

(i)as hard as I try I just can't get angry about this(/i)

needs at least another ten minutes of idiot rhymes and synth blurping. feeling rather cheated by the lackadaisical commitment to a truly appalling aesthetic.

torn hawk is cool

just good music to have on, u know

^

yeah, despite having a moniker that sounds like a Napoleon Dynamite reference, a lot of Wyatt's material is p. chill w/out being too twee. simmers nicely in the background.

outsider/hipster house

you should be banned for this tbh

don't worry it'll have a new name next week

Next week it will be called hellhouse.

do we need to get Simon Reynolds involved or

when will this brave nation produce a cross-pollination of the hellster house and hipsider aesthetic it so richly deserves

be the change Edward, you're our only hope

eh I'll prolly just go to this

Friday, November 8
Machines With Magnets
Pawtucket, RI

Profligate (NC)
Humanbeast (PVD)
Father Finger (PVD)
Mincemeat or Tenspeed (PVD)

sounds cool.

fyi re: loathsome genre fabrication (from the hipster house thraed):

So according to that Huerco S. article, this is called Outsider House now?

just passing along the awfulness f/ yr entertainment

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysQZX2AfoNE

not to derail this thread or to ignore the fine work that Hellhouse/E3/everyone is doing in here, but bumping this thread seems to be a good way to get imago's attention so

have you ended up listening to Micachu's album from last year, Never? What did you think of it? Because I'm listening through it for the first time (both artist and album) and I am p enthralled. I will probably listen to it again right away. Lots of looney tunes weirdness and crazy left turns but, like, less precious then that implies...

I have and I love it. One of the most significant artists working in Britain. She and Conman Mockasin are leading the DIY psych vanguard imo

Especially adore Holiday, Heaven, Fall and Nothing - wonky bliss the lot

Got a few things to post here when I get home, actually

Hahaha fucking phone. CONNAN Mockasin

ahahahahaha omg that BLANCHE BLANCHE BLANCHE is amazing

holy shit I have a new favourite band http://www.thefader.com/2013/10/08/stream-blanche-blanche-blanche-fisted/

will probably have to get both that album & the one from march.

All this looks great; I haven't forgotten about Jute Gyte, I have high expectations for that album

Have you heard the new Melt Banana yet? Is it any good? Spin was streaming but I got too busy tp check it ouy

Not heard new Melt-Banana but their studio stuff will never live up to their live show so I don't really bother

Purchasing that BLANCHE BLANCHE BLANCHE album from earlier this year, btw. So stoked to hear it all.

Oh my fucking god.

I guess I should have seen it what with there being someone called Sarah Smith in the band, but we might finally have an American Cardiacs

http://www.boingboing.net/2009/08/28/drudge-siren.gif

as much Beefheart as Cardiacs, really, but incredible

gonna cautiously bump all this now. seeing fuck buttons get all the traffic does horrible things to my constitution

have been slogging thru the Jute Gyte archives looking f/ more oblique guitar blasts outside of Discontinuities. Senescence, Isolation and Impermanence all deliver, Verstiegenheit and Young Eagle are v. good but more conventional (poss. transitional) ~black metal~, but his “first” guitar rec Old Ways (2008) is a notable shot at max saturation through the timeless thug-craft of brutally compressed Vitamix guitars smothering a sputtering drumbox + default yelling at listeners (a delight f/ meth buffs who slam Filosofem as tepid pop confectionery). Kalmbach’s IDM recs from the same period are relatively polished + polite and I’d like to think that his My-War-era-BF-mangling-Contrary-Motion-in-the-Port-Authority-men’s-room production is an entirely deliberate noize/metal venture but ymmv:

Teeth: http://jutegyte.bandcamp.com/track/teeth
Peace: http://jutegyte.bandcamp.com/track/peace

Yeah I'll have to delve into those. The man is so prolific but I won't hold that against him.

The same can be said to your contributions here which I'm going to have to chew through at some stage!

going to spend some quality time w/ the Gerogerigegege thread (they only have 97 releases, shouldn't take v. long)

haven't listened to it all yet, but sounding good so far and they're great live - the devil album's finally out (comprising James Sedwards from Nought, Ben Waller from the Country Teasers and Sophie from Wetdog - on bandcamp here.

was really enjoying this until 'Girls Want You' which is one of the worst fucking things I've heard in my entire life. YOU'RE SO FUCKING CONFRONTATIONAL & TRANSGRESSIVE

take some drugs, think you're the goddamn velvet underground, toss off that abomination. hey it got its reaction though! it WORKED!

just got to this. must admit I don't hear it like that. it's definitely a continuation of the country teasers schtick of using the reductive/vicious inane to create cold disgust, holding the listener up to the morally repellent. that makes it sound more virtuous than it is - there's nothing virtuous here, which I always assume is the point. how acceptable it is as a method is a different matter, and saying "if you're saying there's nothing virtuous here, in what sense can it be called good?" opens up areas of aesthetics/moral responsibility of art that I tend to fudge, and which is probably getting a bit abstract or academic anyway for something which could probably rightly be termed puerile.

think the music generally sounds great tho (including on that track). sparse, bleak, hard.

it's also now in my head you bastard, which regardless of the rights and wrongs of the track, isn't exactly what I need, especially as when songs get in my head I tend to murmur the lyrics to myself in places like the supermarket, rising to low-level bawling when cycling into work.

actual lol @ s.e.e hipton's outsider house, whats realer than reel-to-reel?

theres lots of good stuff itt though, thanx bros. contributions for time and space: danse noir EPs, that (old-ish?) pete swanson record on type which seems kind of completely rad and 'club of no regrets' on forced nostalgia.

Something like Kreibabe by Foetus achieves brilliance by placing its horrifying moral perversions in the mouth of a narrator who is thus able to give them vulnerability - to psychologise them. This track is the sexual equivalent of a Hitler rally recording and is too much for me. I guess it's impressively, gnostically unpleasant.

haven't been keeping up but I wholly endorse the devil (the band as well as the interdimensional being)

xp

the last time I was at Silent Barn I saw USAISAMONSTER roughly twenty years ago so I may take yr suggestion

ed schrader's music beat also on that bill, they're always value

sarahell OTM re: Cellular Chaos rec

dunno if anyone else on here is/was a Luttenbachers fan, but there are definitely riffs, tones, flourishes on the Cellular Chaos record that are reminiscent of The Void/Cataclysm era Luttenbachers

saw a weasel group in NYC the other week, S, and it was excellent.

the devil could be AOTY for me

yeah, I think it's really good.

not saying this invalidates your reaction but it's probably worth noting that this is a Kool Keith cover

btw Discontinuities takes imo a bit of time to warm up but by the third track all it does is melt face. Good find imago.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXgFpJRC3g4

crude: latter period scott walker atom-smashed into the the, but female

very, very good

still listening to her other stuff on youtube

mother of satan this is calling to some fairly deep & dark parts of me (greek cypriot holla)

always nice to see Monotonprodukt mentioned! but I only bought the 30y reissue last year and now there is another remaster for me to spend money on? how does it sound?

(tbh I've only played the 30y++ vinyl once on my not very good record deck and then I put it on my shelf to look nice while listening to the mp3s I had already, so I can't really say how that one sounds)

also I like fake technos, bring on all the fake technos. maybe it's time to resuscitate the imaginary fake techno project I had in my head a few years ago before getting sidetracked with doomed cohabitation attempts...

idk this sound like redundancy, the reissued 07 sounds fine but konrad whatever gotta get his korn

if you're gonna post diamanda on halloween c'mon

litanies of satan is fucking mindmelting. such an incredible discovery, ty ilx

the first one I posted is "wild women with steak knives" - the litanies of satan b-side

yeah I'm listening to the second one :P

it's good for getting rid of pesky roommates

xxxp

n/m the Monotonprodukt vinyl is from last year’s reissue which I now see is the third version of the rec since ’03 (I’m sure he has a Blu-Ray version in the pipeline, let’s not besmirch his compulsion).

APS, if yr living situation goes down the shitter you can always turn to the dependable glowing void of a DAW f/ all yr companionship needs (p. sure ~fake techno~ is the official aesthetic of professional shut-ins + freaks, don’t ask how I know this).

(E3 OTM, lol at The Divine Punishment as creep nostalgia)

awww The Plague Mass CD was one of my first gifts to my now-ex. I think I reclaimed it after we broke up. So good!

Osasto, rolled a few times down an embankment:

Basic House - B.G. Feathers: http://youtu.be/ZVwlB3qv2qs

been digging this la machine record, they were one of the great bass-n-drum combos providence coughed up in the late 90s

castle face reissued one of their cassettes and it's like the dub album chrome never made

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCIVeBpOAt0

in other ancient cassette reissue news, rumor has it that evil acidhead, john mcbain's unearthly collaboration w/ ugly american greg chapman, will finally be released after 20+ years in the phantom zone

Connan Mockasin is back! His new album Caramel on Spotify. Um...I don't know how to describe him beyond 'fucking incredible wrong-sounding psych beauty' and that you have to hear him. First track is probably even weirder than anything else he's done

New BLANCHE BLANCHE BLANCHE also on Spotify, it's gonna be a weird evening :D

Mockasin was ok. BLANCHE BLANCHE BLANCHE is fucking amazing amazing amazing music amazing

I think Wooden Ball shades the new one, Breaking Mirrors, but for a band to have released two albums this good inside a year is frankly astonishing

'86 -> '13 from Not Here/Not Now:

Swans - Coward: http://youtu.be/36sfWXKk1JE

4X now, like a goddamn junkie. peerless punishment.

so many v. obv postpunk influences interlaced in here, but I keep circling back to the two-fisted keyboard kraft + meltdown vox of live Suicide and their commendable efforts at befouling NYC:

Liz Harris/Jefre Cantu-Ledesma collab Raum is nice and gauzy:

Been really kicking off on the goats for the last couple of days to this track by Forebrace. Feels slightly like a demented version of the Taking of Pelham 123 theme.

somebody explain splittercore 2 me. is it real? I want to believe.

E3 I know u have heard gabber + its sundry ultra-bpm hyperkore krokodil-shooting-anthem progeny b/c I recall blessing u w/ said festering musical misery via magnetic tape approx 70 years ago. which aspects of 2013's arrested ultraviolent nihilistic never-employed pornogore-fanatic jugend hatchlings are giving u pause? splittercore is magic we can all share.

xp

L.I.E.S. gets clowned on ILX due the ~hype phactor~ but I have never had to mingle irl w/ any of the other quite probably horrible ppl who listen to this music so I will agree w/ you on the Shadowlust.

i thought ilx loved l.i.e.s? or do u mean like lex (lol)? some of the techno stuff is too boring for me but im not super into techno anyways

eh, it’s standard low-level bobbins cru carping about the elevation of noise and its corollary ~the degradation of groove~ together purportedly making the material sound like shit on sound systems + difficult to mix w/ standard techno fair. also, annoyance w/ the hype factor/crossover appeal that grants the artists greater coverage than veterans who don’t have a novel noise angle, which I’m sure is true but IDGAF. tbf I enjoy the label’s tunes more as lo-fi psych jams + I don’t have to mix this racket into crowd-moving sets.

ugh fare

most of the stuff posted here between september and october is blowing my fucking mind. thank you all.

well "most of the stuff" i guess is about 5 bands/albums, but still that's a lot.

i'm familiar with BBB, but I hadn't heard any new stuff from them since they kinda updated their production value. i'm into it though.

well gabber was v well-defined w/ a geographical ground zero (rotterdam) + (in)famous practitioners of the art + labels and such, whereas based on its brief wikipedia entry and approx 1000 mp3 compilations on archive.org for all I know splittercore is a genre hoax perpetrated by a single overcaffeinated 4chan manboy

don't even get me started on extratone

in other news I can't listen to blanche blanche blanche without vacillating tween "this is pretty cool" and "this should only be listened to in dorm rooms" but I guess seeing them tonight w/ guerilla toss will help me make up my mind

Doctor C on Cardiacs springs to mind tbh

Repulsively dud. Idiotic prog-wacky for the lower sixth.

harsher judgment than what I had in mind but yeah overly busy stuff like the cardiacs and sleepytime gorilla museum has never particularly tickled my pickle

I mean frenetic as a style marker is a valid raison d'etre but if we're gonna fuck ya better bang me like a rabid rhesus monkey and not a hummingbird w/ goddamn protractor wings

omg wut!?

math is fun and other shibboleths

yeah i still can't figure out if i like em either... lj love doesn't help lol

way back in the dark ages of gabber there were already 1000-bpm cornball fux vying f/ the prestigious wet merkin prize f/ crippling onanism, so this particular strain of teen stupor has been around f/ a while. also, we may have shot past the point where ephemeral microgenres require anything more than self-referential authentication (p. sure no one glomming onto "splittercore" is waiting by the phone f/ Wenner's approval). idk, yr right in some old-media sense, but the youths on Bandcamp are cranking out new tags by the crate and it's less hoax than wager (the ghost of shit future will see you now).

I'm all ~cantankerous yelling at cloud~ since I've updated to OSX 10.9.

def need to revisit the Sungod + Troller recs.

I've been hearing about the new ssleeperhold album. Is that worth listening to?

gonna check out L.I.E.S. affiliate steve summers tonight at the annual PVD weirdbeat event known as xanadont

I don't know much about most of the Holodeck releases but that Troller record is def in my top 5 of the year.

The Demdike Stare Testpressing 3-part 12" series from this year seems relevant to this thread and I haven't seen them mentioned. They are amazing.
