nach zwei gefeierten eps veröffentlicht jackson phillips a. k.a. day wave sein langerwartetes debütalbum the days we had. headcase aus dem jahr 2015 mit der durchbruch-single drag überzeugte sofort mit dem träumerischen surfpop, der nachfolger »hard to read« legte noch eine schippe drauf. inspiriert von den gesangsharmonien der beach boys auf der einen und den songstrukturen von joy division und den frühen new order auf der anderen seite, nahm der sänger und multiinstrumentalist die ersten skizzen ganz analog an gitarre, bass und schlagzeug auf.
jetzt folgt also die erste lange platte von phillips musikalischem soloprojekt. obwohl phillips sich selbst als seinen größten kritiker betitelt, hat er das album nur mit unterstützung des toningenieurs mark ranken fast im alleingang eingespielt und produziert. so entstanden elf wunderschöne songs mit gitarrenbasierter melodieführung und voller elektronischer tiefe und wärme. live wächst dieses soloprojekt zu einer band. zusammen mit seinen musikern erzeugt der kalifornier mit seiner weichen und gleichzeitig sehr eingängigen stimme und seinem lässigen charme eine zauberhafte stimmung. die melancholisch-melodiösen songs zünden sofort, wenn phillips und seine jungs auf der bühne stehen.

final chapter return with an ep of deftly crafted house jams from sean dixon, that each tip their hat in the direction of chicago.

flying saucer attack’s self-titled debut album, released in 1993, was commonly known as ‘rural psychedelia’ – an apt description for the rough-hewn soundscapes they crafted. these bedroom recordings made a virtue of the otherworldly, hissy mechanics of four-track cassette-to-vinyl duplication. pearce realised that you didn’t need to layer 16 guitar tracks in an expensive studio to make a big noise. recording directly on to a four-track resulted in a thick, distorted, abrasive sound that suited his needs perfectly.

rihanna’s 2006 album a girl like me back on 180 gram double vinyl

reissue

- gore-tex city- is varg s new album, and third in his nordic flora series, marking a further and deeper sweep of his elements. stealth dance floor assaults are layered with lobotomised, spoken word meetings in malls, and free-form electronics pepper acou

this ep s lead track comes in form of a deep dub techno aesthetic at an adequate 128 bpm while not neglecting warm and melodic elements. “box drop” stands in the tradition of höppner s interest in musical detail rather than blatant functionality: aside from his recognizable kick drums and basslines nick lays out plenty of harmonic layers and effects such as string arrangements, leading synth pads, now trickling then rotating sound patterns, making this cut as elegiac and frisky as it’s muscular and straightforward.

earth is the third opus of foudre! a telluric drone quartet composed of frederic d. oberland (oiseaux-tempete, the rustle of the stars, farewell poetry), romain barbot (saaad, i pilot dæmon), grégory buffier (saaad, autrenoir), paul régimbeau (mondkopf, extreme precautions, autrenoir), featuring electric chimeras by christine ott on ondes martenot.

zwei jahre nach seinem hochgelobtem debütalbum tremors legt der ehemalige wahlösterreicher sein zweites album vor. mittlerweile lebt sohn in los angeles und dem neuen album hört man die wärme seiner neuen heimat durchaus an. erneut hat er das album in reinen nachtschichten erarbeitet - dieses mal in einem studio im norden kaliforniens. die 10 songs sind zuversichtlich, direkt und fokussiert. vorsichtig lockert er die beschränkungen auf und baut in jeden track neue musikalische elemente ein, durch die gesang, melodien und rhythmen noch besser zur geltung kommen.

vinly only, evan baggs releases his debut ep from binh’s time passages

come with us to a place of solitude where silent winds and barren landscapes have captured the hearts of many admirers but reject their controlling touch. a rejection of life, of death, and everything in between. this place is everything, it is the soul, but yet it is the nothing. a piece of that place has been brought to you once again. to some it will be an adventure but to others it will remind them of the journey taken so long ago to a place where rules did exist, no labels would fit, and no love could be found. frozen and empty but still the soul thrives. we call this place antarctica. where the soul thrives, and only the nothing lives here.

volume 2 continues to wander through the 80 s world of stranger things, floating between the sweeter moments which temporarily blossom amidst the danger and decay as the series comes to an end.

london-based producer keyboard masher has been flying out a no-nonsense brand of disco-infected grooves since 2010 on their own km editions label. devoid of hype and placing the emphasis on the music, the eighth installment in this crucial series of seductive late night jams packs in more boogie than you can shake a particularly funky stick at. -ferry home- strikes an irresistible 80s note with its live band undercurrent, while -i m still qualified- slinks down into a more sultry mood before -twin magjik- heads skywards on a bed of twinkling synth tones. sweet disco tones don t come fresher than this.

after “theory of strings (part1)” ennio colaci and fabio della torre present the second part! the first track of a-side is the one who gives the title to the whole project, - theory of strings-, a dubby groover with a funky and psychedelic feel in the vein of a more coloured and dirtier studio 1 or soundhack. the -feeling good vibe- keeps going relaxed and chill with the smart up and down mood of the track -forty degrees- while on b side minimono get drier, minimalistic and more mysterious with the subtle after-hour jam of rewind. this strong effort by fabio and ennio ends trough the cinematic atmosphere and the romantic piano notes of the gentle but raw closing act -still mine-. mind the strings!

the album is inspired by the music of eric dolphy and john coltrane, indian raga and african polyritmic structures and evolves around the story of paddy roy bates, a british major and pirate radio broadcaster, who founded the micro nation principality of sealand two months after the death of coltrane

the formula was simple: marry bubblegum and soul to the absolute sincerity of an enthusiastic child, cross your fingers and pray for airplay. but while the youthful sums of that formula may have grown up and walked away from their illusions of stardom, their permanent records remain. by 1973, michael, tito, jermaine, marlon and jackie were as hip as kids could get—household names, with lunchboxes, coloring books, a saturday morning cartoon, and an alpha-bits cereal commercial pushing the j5 brand onto any kid with television reception. their impressive run of four consecutive #1 singles playing on both pop and r&b stations cemented their appeal to both whites and blacks, prompting mgm to launch the osmonds as the safer (read: white) alternative. and parents? well michael had that wrapped up with his impossible-not-to-love mini-james brown thing. even their song selection straddled both sides, with “zip a dee do dah” and “abc” for kids, and contemporary standards “standing in the shadows of love” and “my cherie amour” for the older crowd. this extreme marketing and merchandising juggernaut created the kid soul explosion. a decade removed from our acclaimed home schooled compilation comes a fresh batch of talent show titans. with enterprising parents, neighbors, and teachers turning play dates into recording dates, groups like magical connection, little man and the inquires, and five ounces of soul emulated the jacksons, who’d made grade-school stardom appear easy as abc. afterschool special: the 123s of kid soul contains 19 tiny tunes ranging from bilingual d.a.r.e. anthem, to james brown bio, to young love and life beyond the playground.

golden parachutes is a unique, collaborative musical effort comprised of stewart walker (us/berlin) and touane (italy/berlin). following five years of collaborative live-performances and techno releases through stewart’s persona records imprint, here the duo has decided to co-mingle their influences from afrobeat and progressive jazz into a boundary-free exploration. liberated from the constraints of repetitive, pounding kick drums, they unveil a new sound of timbral fluidity built-up from live and sequenced instruments. more than just music, their innovative approach delivers 43 minutes of consummate aural landscapes that pull the listener in head first. as the title ‘into the dark grey morning’ suggests the album takes you on a sweet atmospheric journey where melodic washes of colour and light flicker illumination into the dark clouds of monochromatic noise and reverb compositions, evoking fresh beginnings in electronic music... like a light at the end of the tunnel. as level records third long-play release, ‘into the dark grey morning’ is an unexpected turn away from the labels normal tendencies. with it’s live-instrumental melodies layered over sweeping electronic backdrops the album dips deeply into progressive rock waters and surfaces with a contemporary krautrock sound, logically delivered by a label from düsseldorf, the birthplace of krautrock music.
