29.12.2022-IGGY AZALEA The End Of An Era (Bad Dreams,2021)

 


   With beautifully braggadocious lyrics and a sharp delivery, Iggy Azalea celebrates the good, the bad and the ugly of her twenties with her third album, The End of an Era.

28.12.2022-HUNDRED WATERS The Moon Rang Like A Bell (Owsia,2014)

 


    All over its darkly shimmering second album, Hundred Waters shows a new ability to pull listeners' strings. Think of musical intensity as an instrument to be mastered — twisted and pulled in different directions, not just dialed up or back. More than the electronics that take a front seat on its second album, The Moon Rang Like a Bell, that intensity is the primary element separating the band's new work from its earlier songs.

25.12.2022-PUBLIC MEMORY Wuthering Drum (Felte,2016)

 


   Despite a crowded field, Public Memory's Robert Toher mostly succeeds in creating a dark electronic landscape that is his own—and slightly claustrophobic at that.

24.12.2022-FIDLAR Almost Free (Mom+Pop,2019)

 

If you're looking for the good ole' garage punk/grungy Fidlar, fair warning -- you've come to the wrong record. Almost Free takes quite a few steps away from the records prior and basically gives us a Cali-sound made for getting high on the beach and wasted at music festivals. Forget the head-banging and moshing, this album's for those who want to piss the night away in a hammock or chair, and wake up the next morning wondering what happened; so in short... it's classic Fidlar. However, while the musical style's sure to leave fans scratching their heads, peer a bit deeper and you'll see their signature's very much there -- it's just, well, diluted and funkier than ever.

23.12.2022-SUPERNOVA 1006 Unique World (Sierpien,2017)

 


     Supernova 1006 originated in 2014 as duo: Andrey Yukhovich and Anton Korchevsky in Khabarovsk (Russia). Anton left the band in 2015 and was replaced by Elizabeth Dolgikh. It is now those two, from St. Petersburg, who present us a gem that might be the perfect fusion of post-punk, cold wave and shoe-gaze.

21.12.2022-EDDI FRONT Marina (Not On Label,2016)

 

   If Edith Piaf had been born in 1980s Brooklyn, she would probably sound something like Eddi Front. Formerly known as Ivana XL, Front’s debut LP Marina is a complex, whimsical album recalling songstresses like Cat Power or Tanya Donnelly: ultra-feminine yet also incredibly powerful. Front’s voice drifts over twinkling piano and delicate acoustic guitars to achieve an effect that is both husky and dreamlike.
