10.04.2024-SOL SEPPY I Am As You Are, Pt.1 (Not On Label,2018)

 

DOWNTEMPO

     Not quite as incredible as her debut, but she still manages to evoke some incredible complex emotions with these simple but unique compositions and melodies.

09.04.2024-DEWOLFF Strange Fruits And Undiscovered Plants (REMusic,2009)

 

PSYCHEDELIC ROCK

   Psychedelic-hardgroovin-funkyrock-n-rollin-hotbluesdrivin-hellhounding-supersweet-sixties-explosion! DeWolff is a three-headed teen-rockmonster that crawled right out of the Mississippi mud to shake, rattle and roll the world with some raw, psychedelic sixties bluesrock. Armed with a screaming Hammond-organ, a muddy, howling guitar, thunderous drums and a soulful voice, these three Wolfmen take you back to those wonderful 60s and 70s, when bands like Led Zeppelin, Cream, Pink Floyd and Deep Purple ruled the world of rock ´n´ roll. DeWolff released their debut album "Strange Fruits and Undiscovered Plants". DeWolff is an absolute live-sensation: their partly-improvised songs sometimes last more than 15 minutes! It´s got style, it plays loud and it plays with soul and passion: that´s DeWolff? Truly an excessive TRIP IN TIME!

07.04.2024-LES SAVY FAV Let's Stay Friends (Frenchkiss,2007)

 

ART PUNK

     Essentially, this is a band who manage to conjure an anthemic chorus out of the unlikeliest material – songs about abduction (the pseudo-disco of “Patty Lee”), sex with female showjumpers (single “The Equestrian”), and the Black Death (“Raging In The Plague Age”). Vocal contributions from the Fiery Furnaces' Eleanor Friedberger and nu-folk Zelig Devendra Banhart are buried in the mix alongside members of the general public – the band set up a phoneline and taped fans singing into the ansaphone.

05.04.2024-SCHOOL OF SEVEN BELLS SVIIB (Vagrant,2016)

 

INDIE POP

     VIIB is an excellent, joyous album which never gets overwhelmed by the circumstances surrounding its creation, and shows School of Seven Bells moving on to the musical afterlife at the peak of their powers. SVIIB is not so much a tombstone as a monument to the things we live for in the first place.

02.04.2024-LAUREL HALO Quarantine (Hyperdub,2012)

 

AVANT-POP

     Veering from claustrophobic sci-fi dioramas to meditative synth drones to nakedly expressive confessionals, Laurel Halo's Hyperdub debut is unified by an underlying perspective and personality that commands attention yet still leaves plenty to the imagination.

01.04.2024-JENNIE LOWE Ghost Tracks (Not On Label,2020)

 

INDIE FOLK

   

 "What strikes at first is Jennie's carefully laid - almost naked - vocals on a gorgeous reverb. A genuine instrument that goes from whispering to declamation, almost like calligraphic technique, striped, powerful and fragile at the same time. A splendor that perfectly conveys the rainbow of emotions embedded in these songs: trust, distrust, abandonment, hope, envy, fear and disappointment, love - and its absence."
