27.09.2025-DAUGHN GIBSON Carnation (Sub Pop,2015)

 

INDIE ROCK

   Carnation finds Gibson settling his delivery into a groove suggesting all manner of indie-minded crooners. You’ll now hear a lot in common with Matt Berninger of The National (“Heaven You Better Come In”), Mark Sandman of Morphine (“I Let Him Deal”), Chris Isaak (“Shatter You Through”), even hints of New Romantic balladeers from The Smiths and Spandau Ballet. This is both the album’s blessing and curse: Gibson weaves his breathy drawl and gravelly melodies in and out of this processed backwoods haze to the point where meaning becomes mumble. For an LP with instrumentation that so regularly sounds beautiful, it’s a little disappointing that Daughn Gibson’s identity is one constructed from obscurity. The devil on Carnation isn’t in the details, but in the lack thereof.

   Is this the end of the Neofolk - era or just another page?

23.09.2025-PALMA VIOLETS 180 (Rough Trade,2013)

 

INDIE ROCK

   Palma Violets are a young band who've already received ecstatic acclaim from the most excitable parts of the English music press. They sound like rock music probably entered their lives with the Arctic Monkeys, and they’re still thrilled by it.

21.09.2025-DEAD TEXAN The Dead Texan (Kranky,2004)

 

AMBIENT / POST-ROCK

     Stars of the Lid's Adam Wiltzie presents a collection of drone compositions that he considered too aggressive for his parent band-- which means they range somewhere between a whisper and a shout.
