Lackthereof - Retrospective 1998-2008

--- Quote from: Allmusic's about section ---Lackthereof , the nom de solo project of Danny Seim, came into existence in 1997, several years before Seim became part of the eclectic, Portland-based indie trio Menomena. Initially, the project embraced a spirit of electronica-tinged experimentalism, sounding something akin to the eccentric work of John Maus; Lackthereof's later work became more spare and folky, nodding to artists like Bon Iver and Bonnie "Prince" Billy. In the early days of the project, Lackthereof's recordings were relegated to CD-Rs; six of these discs were recorded from the project's birth up until Seim became engrossed with his work in Menomena. A few years down the road, Seim was picked up by FILMguerrero for his seventh Lackthereof release, Christian the Christian, which was released on that label in 2005. Lackthereof's second full-length on FILMguerrero, My Haunted, was released in the spring of 2008. It was followed a few months later by another full-length, Your Anchor, which was released on Barsuk Records.

So, here it is, a band i first time heard at a concert ROCKHAUSEN, here in Chisinau( capital of Republic of Moldova for those who dont know) on 3rd Octomber. Boys are really great and i can hardly choose some words to describe the music they create. Enjoy!!!!

Rubycone - Pictures For Susceptible Housewives

genres: post-metal, progressive, instrumental, post-rock


--- Quote ---The first thing that a casual listener will notice about Rubycone’s debut album is its rather original title and the matching, Fifties-style cover artwork. Then, even a cursory look at the track list will reveal titles reminiscent of a Frank Zappa or Canterbury album. Rubycone displays a sense of humor that, by and large, seems to be sadly lacking in the world of prog (with very few notable exceptions), and not extremely frequent in that of so-called ‘alternative’ rock either. The actual listening experience, though, may turn out to be a disappointment for those expecting some sort of quirky, avant-garde storytelling. In fact, “Pictures of Susceptible Housewives” is a wholly instrumental album, and the only vocals heard come in the shape of voice-overs. This is not incidental: when the band finally found a stable lineup, they decided to eliminate vocals, which had caused numerous problems in its previous incarnations. The album was conceived as a series of sonic vignettes strung together by a common theme – loosely based on the effect of consumerism on ordinary people. However, its instrumental nature makes it difficult to see the connection between the concept and the music, unless the listener has a very fertile imagination. Unlike some works of ‘impressionistic’ classical music, the various tracks are not really descriptive of the various situations suggested by the titles. Anyway, in spite of these misgivings, it was a bold move on the part of the band, and one that can lead to interesting developments if pursued further. Musically speaking, Rubycone occupies that grey area between classic/traditional prog-metal and hard-edged, eclectic prog a la King Crimson. The prog-metal inspiration shines clearly through in the second half of the album: in the slashing, crushingly heavy riffs and machine-gun drumming of the likes of Cry Baby You Are a Machine and Don’t Stop Michael. Echoes of King Crimson are instead evident in Children & Funny Earthquake, especially in the guitar tone. Most of the tracks have a rather complex structure, alternating slower, mid-tempo sections with hectic riffing and spiky, shred-like lead work – perfect examples of this are, besides the ones already mentioned, Vikings Love Horses, featuring some tasteful, Spanish-flavored guitar licks alongside the riffing madness, and the drum-powered Fisherman’s Story. As the whole album runs at 41 minutes, the tracks are short and to the point – the longest, album closer When the Rain Is Over, I’ll Say to You Hasta la Vista, is for more than half made up of sound effects (rain, thunder and lightning), plus a snippet of dialogue from the “Terminator 2” movie, before launching in a full-throttle metal cavalcade. Given the nature of the music, the short running time definitely works to the album’s advantage. There are also a couple of mainly acoustic tracks barely over 1 minute, Midnight Broken Heart and the funnily-named Porcupine Tree Alone (which, incidentally, does not really sound like the titular band), both functioning as a sort of interlude. As can be expected from such an ambitious album, the musicianship is excellent throughout, though the individual tracks can be surprisingly accessible. Unlike other bands playing a similar strain of music, Rubycone avoids clubbing the listener over the head with their technical wizardry, and the outstanding production values make it possible for each musician to be heard and appreciated in his own right. It remains to be seen if the band will choose to pursue the path of instrumental music or will instead decide to throw some vocals into the equation – which might drastically alter their sound and general impact.

For the most part, this is an entirely acoustic album, mostly featuring songs that appeared on earlier albums (quite a few from my favorite BB release, Somera Sol). "The Right Time" ended up being re-recorded, and is now the title track on his latest album, "Punk Rock Guilt". Recorded over a period of three days in 2006 (hence the title).
