Deerhoof - The Runners Four

http://www.mediafire.com/?75lx0z1a9jz

I know that there are probably only a few of you that don't already have this, but if there is anyone here that hasn't given The Runners Four a good full listen or 3, please do.  If there is any one group that has changed me and reinforced everything that I find good in music and in people it's Deerhoof, and this album is absolutely perfect start to finish. 

[pinkpiche]

They have hundreds of splits.  They are all quite hard to find on the internet. Oh yes, and tell me if all the names are on the 'altered states of america' album. They all came named audiotrack 01, etc, so I had to rename them all.

Yup, they're there.

If anyone's interested I have the aforementioned Converge/Agoraphobic Nosebleed split : The Poacher Diaries.

[a pack of wolves]

That's a really good split, the Converge side is probably the best though. Some of their best material, My Great Devastator is one of my favourite Converge songs and the whole thing flows together really well. I love all the Cube samples AN use though, and Glass Tornado is an excellent tune.

Since a lot of people seem to have that one to throw up, I'll give you this:

My first contribution. Songs on this album are anywhere on a sliding scale between Folk and Noise.

Amps For Christ - The People At Large

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediafire.com/?1tj8xnjeme1

Henry Barnes has strolled around another mysterious and wonderful bend on his shining path of inspiration. Whereas the folk experimentation of the 2001 Shrimper release Oak in the Ashes seemed unified by loopy spoken word, The People at Large (5 Rue Christine) is a protest album decoded from gaseous historical ether. The awkward "Bug" and "Tethered Ball" do retreat into that same basement poetry, and a few of the album's stylistic tangents are too opaque to engage listeners not on the Amps for Christ payroll. ("Use Use Use," for example, is a mess of distorted ranting and backwards noise.) Barnes is a scattershot genius, so bizarro burrs like these are to be expected. But The People at Large's main thrust uses to great effect the ghostly lilt of folk tradition to try reconnecting the shattered cultural and social bonds of a world in chaos. Tara Tikitavi takes lead vocal for a version of the Scottish traditional "Prince Charlie Stuart," while Barnes himself whispers his way along Ireland's "Morlough Shore." Meanwhile, a sitar tingles through "Tsaress," "Tarsit," and "Claremont Raga," threading the album with the sounds of a culture that's suffered from demonizing and callous ignorance. A plucked banjo leads Barnes through "AFC Tower Song"; over a bed of thick distortion, he reworks an old folk ballad to ruminate anew on 9/11, personal loss, and out of control American consumption. The album's clutch of tasteful instrumentals isn't as direct, but "Midianite Prelude," "Banjo Hymn," and even the two different interpretations of "Old Lang Syne" -- of all things -- successfully contribute their earthiness to the album's meditations on the dangerous state of humanity's unions. A bundle of both homemade and store-bought, acoustic and electric instruments tinkle throughout The People at Large; its liner notes contain calligraphic poetry dwelling detachedly on war, spirituality, and government. "The guy in the house is a bully," AFC writes at one point. "That guy in the house wants to hurt you." It's in this way that Barnes and his collaborators filter their protest and anger through the creativity that's always defined Amps for Christ. On The People at Large, the underpinnings of history and mystery bind the troubles of the present to a musical timeline of discontent and mourning.

[icanstopandstart]

"The impenetrable Nicholas Szczepanik suggests that his album ‘Astilbe Rubra’ is a “collection of ideas/directions I plan to study and explore.” While this suggests some sort of work in progress, the album appears much more complete than many other noise discs of his cohort. The shrill mechanism of the opening strain on “Tire” tease the ear into preparing for a harsh noise experiment in the Whitehouse tradition, though this soon subsides into an admittedly disturbing yet passive doom like some Miklos Rosza score; as if sucked, in the end the frequency distorts until it blinks out, leading to the clatter of “Bringer”, an atmospheric soufflé of room noise and a brooding, heavily-reverberated guitar, sci-fi effects strangely fitted to a graceful sustain. Including his email address in the scant liner notes, Szczepanik invites listeners to inquire about his indeterminate methodology. While it is no secret that popular noise releases need no raison d’être (nor do many have one beyond the sound itself), this seems a reasonable, if not necessary presentation, as there is something strangely awry on this disc, as though some secret pattern is illustrating itself. In fact, the disc relies almost entirely on aesthetics, as the radioed chatter of “Convivencia” bleeds into a stunning drone, then water sounds and field recordings of birds, wind, and children: there is no motive or motif to be easily deigned – a sticking point hard to accomplish in a genre so heavily indebted to malaise. Like the Half Makeshift disc, the clarity of production here is incredible, most notably in the shower of glass on “Echoes”, leading to a beam of diamond cut vibration which leaps from even the flattest speaker to numb yr spine. As a fine reprieve, the pure drone of the expressive “Merci Manu & Sophie” clears the palette before the motley sculpture “Delays – Interference”, a piece of manipulations and concrète sounds turned out behind a last minute veil of transistor fury. “Shimmer” closes the disc pitting a mid-paced blast of guitar feedback over a dubby plod of imaginary piano, a Zen repetition replying calm beneath the chaos. The disc comes labeled with a fancy, cut paper sleeve (Small Doses never disappoints with their packages); limited to 104 pieces. Recommended for those in search of a challenge."

Hey people, I thought we agreed to use Mediafire and only Mediafire from now on? This "You cannot download more than one file at a time. Please finish your current download first or upgrade to sendspace Max™ to enable multiple, fast, top priority downloads" shit on Sendspace can go to hell. The file I'm grabbing from Sendspace is well under 100mb...

Seriously, people: mediafire.com

(But keep up the awesome work.)

[De_El]

I seem to remember some people having trouble with Mediafire, and consequently not using it even after the Great Shift, particularly E.Spaceman. Don't remember what the problems were, just that they existed.

[MusicScribbles]

Mediafire tends to get buggy for people sometimes. It might look down to one person while another is happily up/downloading a file. Sendspace and others are really quite reliable, but Mediafire is faster and things tend to stay up a lot longer. Also, there is no maximum file download limit. The big plus with everything else is that they tend to have less server issues and can take larger files. Otherwise, Mediafire is excellent for the amount of music being posted to this thread. It makes it easier for greedy audiophiles to get caught up on the latest page in the thread.

[imagist42]

everything else can take larger files

This is the only reason I have used sendspace for quite some time.

[Liz]

If you can't use Mediafire, anything but Sendspace is good. www.badongo.com has a 1GB limit per file and has pretty good download speeds (much better than Sendspace or Rapidshare), but I don't know how reliable it is since not many people use it.

[Jackie Blue]

www.senduit.com is a good, simple alternative as well.

Mountains in the Sky - Accipio

An old man hums for two bars until a looped-backwards chorus of children sing, accented by plucked harp, and followed by a giant, majestic horn that was probably lifted from some album about some time when Julius Cesar or at least Frank Sinatra came into some place and did something awesome. Descending, vaguely jazzy chords are introduced while the chorus of kids becomes more pronounced and the horn continues to sound. You get the feeling that a wondrous “Event” is taking place, and you’re privileged to be amongst the few who get to enjoy it.

Meanwhile, Back In Communist Russia... - My Elixir; My Poison

Got into these guys through Felix_'s last.fm, trippy post-rock band from Oxford (Oxford, England in case there's another one in a colony somewhere). The vocals are basically some girl with a hot voice reciting really fucked up spoken word stuff. It's quite compelling.

Here's a really wordy record review from drowned in sound:

Meanwhile, Back In Communist Russia.. are like the morning after an abortion, or the minutes before a one night stand - your make-up smudged, tights laddered. Gruesomely sexy, like the taste of salt on your lips, liquid dripping from your fingertips and the look of sweet satisfaction on your demon’s face as they pull your head up by your hair. I think I like this band more than I should.

'My Elixir:My Poison', ‘The Russians’ second album, offers us more of the same from debut ‘Indian Ink’ but less of the same than anyone else can muster. Emily (cigarette-smoking vixen) pours her monologues over the top of James, Tim and Ollie’s intense frantic score of guitars, drums and keyboards, which come together like an orchestra of hundreds, high on dirty crack.

Arresting is the best way to describe this record. Listening to it I become incapable of moving much further than my own brain; imagination taking over as soon as the distant wayward beat of ‘th5’ pierces through the membrane of my skin and deep down into my ears. The record commandeers the stereo, holding you prisoner until the last beat fades and the rebel group tell you are free to go. The blind fold comes off and the sun acting as a torch, comes out of hiding and highlights all the corners of your world that 'My Elixir:My Poison' has just cleaned out of vermin and impostors.

‘Your eyelashes echoing the crest of the moon’

Emily’s volatile monologues (poetry readings/ diary entries/ suicide notes scrawled on skin with knives) leave you wondering if she is stable or broken. They are beautifully incoherent, not really forming a linear story, instead musing on some thought wave or sadness, her half-whispered half spoken voice sooths you, but is still intense without histrionics.

I’m finding it hard to describe each track as a single entity as you barely notice that one song has ended and another has begun. More like the whole album is one story. Tempos move like waves, like someone’s anger or adrenaline.

It feels like the whole thing was recorded in a damp basement, demons shouting from the corners, like in a dream. But one of those dreams you wake up from feeling better, like you’ve discovered something or your mind has been woken up by something fragile and poignant.

[Jackie Blue]

Those of you who like Amps for Christ should really download that Gowns album I put up a few pages back, as half of Gowns is Erika Anderson from said band.

death in june's essential works as chosen by douglas p. (death in june)
proto-neo-folk, martial pop, industrial acoustic jams.  fascistic gothic hits.
i hope you like it.  it's very self-serious (song titles: "rose clouds of holocaust", "fields of rape"), so do some research into the man/the group and its symbols and subtexts if you get a chance.

this and the sol invictus post, as well as the of the wand and the moon albums i put up earlier, should serve as a kind of neofolk primer.

Blectum from Blechdom - The Messy Jessi Fiasco

Balancing their good taste for placements of audio snippets with the creation of fuzzy, scattered breakbeats is Blectum from Blechdom's odd, warped sense of humor. In the midst of more serious music they have been known to break out in boy band karaoke and wear a jump suit built for two. Kevin Blectum and Blevin Blechdom met while attending the all-female Mill's College. Blechdom was to fade out to Blectum's music, but when the two found their sounds matched with one another's, a duo was born. The duo was in the right place at the right time, as California's IDM community was beginning to blossom and be nourished by media attention. As part of the Tigerbeat6 camp, they have joined a roster that includes Kid 606, Cex, and Lesser. They have released albums for Deluxe, Kit Clayton's label Orthlorng Musork, and a lathe-cut 10" for Dial Records.

[Jackie Blue]

I'm very divided on Meanwhile, Back In Communist Russia...

The music is decent, and the couple times they turn the guitars on, above-average.  But the spoken-word vocals almost exclusively sound like they're being read from the diary of an angst-ridden teenage goth girl.  The imagery is amateurish at best, and sometimes painfully banal.  I'll refer again back to the Gowns album as an example of how to do the same thing in a much better way.
