The new Slum of Legs album kills, emil.y! Omg I love it. Such densely layered weirdo post-punk! The synth and string arrangements are wonderful. I hope we get to see you perform someday, post-apocalypse.

I'm sure it's due to the name but it does remind me a bit of King Of The Slums who were a Manchester band from the late 80s who had a rumbling Fall-ish sound but with a fiddle player, and they were fab and I've missed them for a long time. Anyway the first track on the SoL album is fucking stunning and I love it

New Emma Phyzema on Bandcamp (mixed by Bob Drake), just had a quick listen, sounds good, I detect a bit of a Dannielle Dax influence.

Perhaps the most astonishing, seductive and compelling of Partch's works, Delusion stands as the Choral Symphony or Ring Cycle do to other composers: a culminating testament to a lifetime of "doing your own thing."
Like composer Conlon Nancarrow, Partch had to wait until late in life for his radical contributions to the arts to receive wide attention. With the 1969 production of Delusion he was "discovered", idolized, and gurufied, as a 43-tone-to-the-octave, ex-hobo, eccentric, maverick, iconoclastic instrument-builder, and a "philosophic music-man seduced into carpentry." Hippy hyperbole notwithstanding, Partch was a genuine far-out radical whose time has come. Again. "Sounds like this have rarely been heard before, at least not on this planet." Delusion of the Fury is a 72' totally-integrated, corporeal, microtonal, elemental work of ritual theater, incorporating almost all of Partch's hand-built orchestra of sculptural instruments. Using mime, dance, music, vocalizations, lighting, and costume, Partch presents two tales concerning reconciliation of life and death, one after a Japanese Noh drama, the other after an Ethiopian folk tale.streaming:http://ubu.com/film/partch_delusion.html

Really liked Redundance by Stian Westerhus on first listen: https://stianwesterhus.bandcamp.com/
Makes me think a bit of Robert Fripp playing with Ulver or Toby Driver? He's a very expressive singer. I gather that some of his previous work is just avant-garde guitar composition? I should look deeper into it.

the Special Interest is fairly compelling but it is another album that seems to regard melody as some sort of bourgeois luxury
that is probably more cutting than it needs to be as I am rather enjoying the sonics!
― imago, Monday, 29 June 2020 20:55 (four years ago) link
You mean the Sonics band or the sonics of the (latest?) Special Interest album?

Would Memnon Sa fit in here? I mean one could put the new record in a lot of different categories, but I think it's tunefully weird and can't stop listening to it?

Newish WaqWaq Kingdom is getting a lot of play at my house these days, this is the single and by far the most "normal" track on the record. Maybe better for deconstructed club, but I think it's a bit too tuneful.

Thanks Kate! I like how you're able to see the value of the expression while ruing the circumstances that brought it to the fore.
I dig this a lot, downloaded and listened to late last night. Reminds me of a strange mish-mash of the E-Saggila hard techno, near-gabber sound and the Nathan Micay record's queer anime preoccupations.
