The most psychedelic black metal you'll ever listen to. The first one is probably their best and most accessible, the second is their latest work.

I've only heard Scenes From Hell, but could not for the life of me get into it.  Heard nothing but good things about Imaginary Soniscapes though, I should probably check it out

Hold Tight! - "Cant Take This Away"

Code: [Select]

http://holdtight.bandcamp.com/album/cant-take-this-away
Some dude on punknews.org posted a generic sorta "hey guys, check out my band" post, and for some reason I bothered to actually click through and have a listen.  For the first time in my history of using that site, shit came up trumps.  This is a really awesome, well-written, catchy, well-recorded album from an unsigned band. 

RIYL: Fast, melodic pop-punk/melodic hardcore in the vein of Lifetime, Kid Dynamite, (old) Rise Against, Bouncing Souls, Latterman etc. etc.

Honestly, this could be the most excited I've been about discovering a new band, it's THAT good an album.

[ImRonBurgundy?]

I've only heard Scenes From Hell, but could not for the life of me get into it.

I'm not really into it, but I do love the fact that the very beginning of one of the songs sounds like the beginning of the Ghostbusters theme.

Aura Anthropica - Nocturnal Low

Minimalist dubstep, but not in the Distance sense... Techno-informed, but not in the Peverelist sense... Kind of a little bit of the best of everything. Meticulously made stuff.

CoH - Z-Rated

Closely aligned with the Industrial Records people, Ivan Pavlov's latest. Contains material from an aborted Coil collaboration, if I could only remember which tracks were... In VBS, unfortunately. The CD version was sold out when the listing went up, which happens with a lot of really cool experimental stuff (happened to me twice before with new Keith Fullerton Whitman tapes).

Uncompromising sound artist Ivan Pavlov, aka CoH, releases his latest body of work in a special edition for France's Rotorelief label, housed in a stunning and unique pop-out digicase CD design. While relating to the release of Takahashi Miike's 'Zebraman 2' - a low budget Japanese superhero farce - 'Z-Rated' also doubles as a compilation of rare and previously unreleased early material dating from 1992 right up to 2009. If you've followed CoH's records over those years, you might know to expect the most advanced computer music and dynamic digital sonics sculpted with an innately playful, and eternally baffling sense of composition, an aesthetic which has marked him out as one of the worlds foremost and distinctly individual electronic musicians. Inside this disc you'll find two tracks from 1992; the almost Raymond Scott-like zaniness of a previously unreleased and untitled composition recorded at the Dept. of Acoustics, University of Nizhny Novgorod, made without a soundcard and mixed through the internal speaker, and another equally nutty ''92 track apparently recorded in an "attempt at sonic humour". Further in we find two versions of a track commissioned by Coil's Jhonn Balance for a project called 'Star Shaped Individual In Society' which never actually materialised, besides his meditation on the Japanese martial art Aikido. Fast Forward a few years and there's his awesome extraction and abstraction of The Beatles on 'The Dakota Strawberries' from 2004, besides a tribute to Mika Vainio and Jimi Tenor's 'Kocmoc' taken from his explorative 'Electric Electric' 12" on Mego, and again, plenty more artifacts of utterly inexplicable and completely compelling electronic music. Heartily recommended!

Distance - Skys Alight / 1 Regret

A new single from Distance on the Autonomic imprint run by dBridge and Instra:Mental. To be perfectly honest I'm unsure of how these two haven't come together before - sure, Distance can get pretty brosteppy but at his most subdued he's pretty sympatico with the Autonomic style. Cold, cold steppers.

Autonomic's exceptional taste for the techiest riddims around finds Distance killing it on their latest plate. While his tracks are always built to the most exacting specs, we've always been after more than the halfstep thing from Distance, which is why these two productions are such a blessing. 'Skys Alight' ups his game with the craftiest swagger imaginable, setting proper tech-stepper patterns and highly affecting bursts of Autonomic-standard synths. On the flip '1 Regret' sets augmented Photek-style drum syncopations against a backdrop of warehouse-ready bass snarls. Both cuts are as solid as anything we've heard from the label yet, and highly recommended to fans of T++, DBridge, or Instra:mental.

Seven - Sinister / Abduction

More traditionalist dubstep for you. Traditionalist in that it's quite dark and has fuck-all to do with dub music!

Solid dubstep tools from Seven on Black Box. The choice cut is 'Sinister', an uptempo roller punctuated with skull-splitting snares and ghostly rattling percussion to suit the midnight rave vibes, while 'Abduction' is more on the big intro, build-and-drop halfstep tip, bearing a mammoth subbass heave and super crisp percussion. One for fans of V.I.V.E.K, Vex'd, Hatcha, or Youngsta.

Halp - Leeks

Really not sure what to make of this - The Seclusiasis imprint looks to mostly deal in Philly-bred Street Bass (DNAEBEATS, Dev79, etc.) but this guy is kicking it in true Skwee style, with a little more widescreen in the sound. The Coco Bryce remix caught my eye, but the rest of the EP caught my ear.

Haz - Above the Tree Line

This was an impulse buy I'm not sure if I regret. It's sort of post-rocky without the po-faced regalism of so many post-rockers, but it's not exactly electronic either. Seems to be mid-tempo, slightly uplifting instrumental rock with some pervasive electronic elements. There's something about it that sneaks up on me, I feel like I should skip to the next track but somehow I just keep on listening to the end.

House of Jezebel - Love & Happiness

Fuckin' Voyage Direct and Night Slugs are hammering a secret love of house music into my brain. What am I going to tell my friends? This is just as awesome as you'd expect coming from these guys. Did you know that Rush Hour (from which Voyage Direct springs) is actually a venerable House-oriented record store? I sure didn't!

Tom Trago's Voyage Direct series serves a truly awesome take on the oft-sampled 'Love & Happiness' soul classic from House Of Jezebel aka Legowelt. Before checking the sales notes we could have sworn this was some long-lost original House classic coz Legowelt's production is just SO vintage sounding! On the flip there's an instrumental, but seriously, what's not to love about that vocal?! Check the sample and fall under its spell... Well recommended!

Martyn - Left Hander / Shook Up

Martyn's been around the block a few times, first as a house/techno head, then as a house-leaning dubstep guy, and now he's back to house/techno with a few rhythmic tricks pinched from his middle years up his sleeve. Clever boy.

Man-like-Martijn Deykers slinks into motion with two outright killers on 3024. Remarkably, this is Martyn's first solo 12" of 2010, a year in which he dropped a crucial Fabric mix and expanded his label's horizons to draw blunted and Techno sounds into the fold. With 'Left Hander' he cuts in from a broken house angle, sharing certain rhythmic traits with Altered Natives while firmly retaining his feel for soulful, classically-informed Detroit melody in grand style. On the other side, 'Shook Up' goes one step duttier, dragging the drums down to a gruffly accented swing while sly strings, twinkling keys and fluttering synth motifs imagine some infectious fusion of mad effective South London and Detroit disciplines. Basically, this 12" is lethal and your turntables want it, badly!

8bitch - Equinox

Lots of buzz around this lady, used to be a TV personality in Eastern Europe or something, now she's supposedly dating Rustie and putting out singles for Starkey's Slit Jockey imprint, and now Seed. Pretty cool that she's going with the boutique labels when with her heat she could easily get a Warp or Planet Mu contract. Check it out.

n 2010 there's a been a fair flurry of interest around London/Glasgow's 8Bitch. With an inclusion on Mos's 'Adventures In Dubstep' comp and tracks offered on the promising Svetlana Industries, the Slovenian ex-pat has established herself at the leading edge of electronic UK club music. 'Equinox' is her debut proper, a four-track introduction to an energetic and confidently abstract sound. Bass serves only a functional presence, as all the propulsion and bristling energy generally comes from the mid and upper echelons, as with the glitching textures and tweaky space melody of 'Orpheus', or the angelic R&B vox and bustling tribal drums in 'Hathor'. Again the rapid-fire rhythms of 'Astarte' seem to jit so hard it feel like they're gonna evaporate with sheer excitement and the glistening 'Isis' highlights just how sweet her melodies are to the ear. Unfortunately, 'Equinox' is limited to 250 hand-numbered copies for the world, so get in quick because we think this might be one you'll kick yourself for missing.

Slackk - Theme EP

Numbers finally drop the rampant 'Theme EP' by underground lynchpin, Slackk!!! If you've had your ear to the ground then Slackk's productions have been unavoidable, regularly turning up in the sets of Marcus Nasty and Jackmaster. After years hosting the awesome grimetapes.com, his own productions arrive at a deadly conclusion of ruffed-up tribal House and Eski memes hitting squarely between the eyes of Grime and Funky. The label understandably compare his sound with the fury of classic UR tracks like 'Riot' or 'The Punisher', but there's also a distinct seam of sussed Chicago jack in there too, referencing the likes of Tyree's 'Video Crash' or Steve Poindexter's 'Work That Mutha F*cker'. Essentially it's their raw and direct effect that warrant those comparisons, from the oozing sewer synths and riddimic ructions of 'Theme From Slakk' to his outstanding "Eski-House" tribute to Wiley on 'Fire Flies'. This guy doesn't f**k about, and his debut is one of the most scintillating dancefloor efforts we've heard all year.

Dikta - Hunting For Happiness

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediafire.com/?hspxeoyf9m3lunx

In recent years, lyrics have taken a backseat in musical ventures. Most listeners are more than overjoyed if a band lays down a clever pun, witty lyric, or a deep thought now and again. At long last, a band is reawakening an ages-old beast. Iceland's Dikta is finally bringing story-telling back to music. While a few bands of late seem to be grasping desperately onto the idea of a concept album, Dikta has their arms wrapped tightly around the one-song, one-story concept. Each track on Hunting for Happiness tells a completely different story, yet always finishes what it starts. The fact that the music is pretty fantastic, though not visionary, only makes the record that much more enjoyable.

Some of the passages might be a little more musically-intellectual than others, but this is by no means an inaccessible record. "Chloe" is probably one of the most easily-enjoyed tracks on the record, as it contains plenty of crunch, bounce, and vocal aggression that should satiate any listener. Herein lies the true beauty of Dikta: They are artistic without being snobby, intellectual without being elitist, inventive without being weird. "This Song Will Save the World," in title, may seem overly pretentious and self-absorbed, but, when backed by lilting keys, down-played horns, and a supreme vocal swagger and warm guitar tones, it comes off as nothing but a great ballad, with no sense of grand self-importance.

Dikta is musical magic. They never stammer, never take a poor step, and manage to combine so many of the small things which make music interesting. Slap all that together and you get one of the most intriguing albums of the year, a forerunner in the race for top honors, even if there are more astonishing musicians in the world. If you've been in a musical drought, find a new Dikta ride and pick up Hunting for Happiness.

Borko - Celebrating Life

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediafire.com/?nd8nktinnd5j4nq

Like many Morr Music artists, Iceland's Borko straddles the line between homespun electronic pop and post-rock deftly, combining glitchy beats, winsome melodies, and quirkier flourishes like brass and xylophone into comfortable-sounding, but never boring, music. Celebrating Life recalls the work of Borko's fellow countrymen Mśm, although his tenor vocals give his music a more grounded feel than Kristķn Anna Valtżsdóttir's fairy tale soprano had on albums like Yesterday Was Dramatic -- Today Is OK. Borko's sound is also more wide-open and active than some of his other, more precious contemporaries, and his fondness for big rock drums and urgent guitars -- especially on the album opener "Continental Love" -- suggests a more whimsical Mogwai. Celebrating Life isn't without precedent, but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. Borko has a real gift for emotive melodies, especially on "Spoonstabber," which sounds like a post-rock torch song, and an equal talent for engaging arrangements; Celebrating Life's centerpiece "Sushi Stakeout" builds from watery electronics to shoegazing guitars, takes a detour into intricate prog rock, then finishes as delicate folktronica. While most of the songs follow a similar formula of beginning with small electronic structures and growing into larger, rock-dominated sounds, Borko's playfulness goes a long way towards making the album unique: the saddest-sounding song is called "Ding Dong Kingdom" and borrows from the chorus from Lionel Richie's "Hello," but none of that lessens its yearning. Best of all is "Hondo & Borko," which closes the album with an utterly joyous mix of groovy basslines and gentle brass that starts off mellow, then tips with a rollercoaster rush into bittersweet but jubilant guitars and rollicking drums as Borko lists some of the things that make life great (including drinking, ice cream, and children). It's a sweet finish to an album six years in the making.

Eberg - Antidote

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediafire.com/?mcxrditmeom1xoy

While Iceland may be in the middle of a freezing Northern ocean, warm and bright electronic lo-fi pop music is radiating from Reykjavik from musician Einar Tonsberg, also known as Eberg.  His laptop his muse, Eberg’s style has captivated indie music mavens in the UK and avid watchers of the famed television show “The OC”, along with citizens of his home island country. Somber sometimes, soaring at others, each song on his newest album, Antidote, defines his new, matured with age style. “The Right Thing To Do” has got a steady movie soundtrack style beat and an interesting vocal tone, a bit dark but empowering nonetheless, a la The Postal Service. “Reykjavik” is a charming, vocally driven song, reminiscent of some of Sufjan Steven’s tone and style. “No Need To Worry” culminates Tonsberg’s maybe unintentional, but clear musical reference to the work of the late Elliot Smith. Tonsberg departs from Smith’s, Stevens’ and The Postal Service’s style to create a newer, modern, and pleasing adventure of an experimental album.  While some songs are laborious and avoidable, for the most part, Tonsberg leads the listener on a worthwhile journey through his mind and music. With 3 albums under his belt and an ever-evolving style, Antidote, Eberg’s latest album, is an album to be listened to in its entirety, without that larger auditory struggle that many records entice. And now, with new management in the UK, Eberg is sure to hit the high life of indie subculture sooner than later.

Hey everyone, do y'all know Nobunny?

If not, enjoy!

From AllMusic:

Always clad in a fuzzy (and mildly psychotic-looking) rabbit mask...Nobunny is a one-man pop-punk onslaught whose simple, infectiously hooky tunes and lusty outlook have earned comparisons to the Ramones, Hasil Adkins, and the Cramps...Nobunny is the alter ego of Justin Champlin, who was born and raised in Tucson, AZ, and relocated to San Francisco, CA. Champlin first made a name for himself as the drummer with garage punks the Okmoniks and later co-founded the Sneaky Pinks, a two-man punk-pop party machine. With Nobunny, Champlin streamlined the concept of the Sneaky Pinks by paring the consistent lineup down to just one person.. Sometimes working solo and sometimes backed by a constantly shifting group of musicians, Champlin has been performing as Nobunny since 2001...

http://www.mediaf!re.com/?zbmus9ugiwtu0p2Nobunny's newest and quite possibly my favorite album. It has more polished production than previous efforts (Actual drums, oh my!) but the songwriting and musical variety are level above the others. Highlights include "Ain't It A Shame," "Blow Dumb," "Breathe" and "Pretty Little Trouble."

Yeah, that new Nobunny album is pretty choice

Cannot recommend that Channels album enough.  J. Robbins is the man.

Thanks for the Nobunny links. Been hearing a lot about them lately and wasn't sure where to start with him/them.

Welll, regardless, I am very grateful for the service you provide us, despite my frustration at the temporal impossibility of enjoying and digesting all you offer

Seconded.

Thurston Moore: Two Trios

First is a live set recorded on 11/11/2010 at the Chapel of the Holy Innocents at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, NY. The trio is Moore and Bill Nace playing guitar and Chris Corsano on drums  in a single, continuous, improvised set just shy of 50 minutes in length. It starts quietly, electronic creaks and beeps bubble and skitter over softly scattering snares and cymbals. Slowly but surely the set becomes more manic, more unhinged. Processed, pedal heavy high end guitar noises becomes more insistent: a distant, mangled siren call, the cheeping of robotic sparrows, an undulating metallic hum and the methodical, plodding drumming of Corsano all become almost hypnotic. The set trades off, some moments of spooky calm, others of skronking, noisy mayhem. About halfway through a wall of static shoots through the sound and ushers in the second act. It starts off full of low end menace and mutilated radio static, delves into near drone-like territory, slowly builds into something massive and vicious, a snarling tangle of roaring static, pulsating feedback, desperate air-raid siren calls, lumbering, thudding drums buried beneath. Finally things shift again and it sounds like a field recording from a inside some insane garage with never before seen power tools whirring away, chewing up metal until in the final minutes the machines start to collapse, belts fly off wheels, gear and cogs slip and grind until, at the very moment of total collapse, everything is reigned in and in a bubbling, pinging woosh, it ends. Easily one of the best live performances I've seen this year!

Next is "Courtney Love Killed da Cobain" again featuring Moore and Bill Nace on guitar this time with Paul Flaherty on alto and tenor sax. Similarly awesome, perhaps a little more out of control than the above set. Somehow Corsano's methodical drumming had a propulsive effect and drove the piece above forward. Here there are no boundaries. It certainly doesn't suffer for it but it's a very different listening experience. Three tracks in increasing length (3:38, 24:23, and 40:45)  making it a good 15-20 minutes longer. It's brilliant but an exhausting listening experience. Flaherty's sax pierces and jabs, skreeing over searing high end guitar feedback and chugging, pummeling low end reverb. The soundtrack to society collapsing, perhaps? Completely brilliant!
