If you value your ears as much as most of us should yet inevitably don't, Gira Gira is probably a record to veer as well away from as Sonisphere. If on the other hand you enjoy having your inner ear tubes and shoots battered about like a gleaming Wimbledon tennis ball, Drum Eyes , featuring DJ Scotch Egg, a couple of drum kits (two eyes, two sets of drums, duh) and enough Japan-via-Brighton noisecore to make Rolo Tomassi quake are almost worth prepping the hearing aids for. Whilst Gira Gira signifies 'bling bling' in the quartet's mother tongue, there's [...]
![Mincemeat Or Tenspeed - Strange Gods - Skin Graft Records [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2095476_lg.jpg)
" No synthesizers, samplers, sequencers, drum machines, computers, musical instruments, or ulterior motives. " Such is the message pasted onto Strange Gods , the new album from Mincemeat Or Tenspeed . Is the declaration/warning really needed? Nah. It's obvious from opening track "Hulot" that Strange Gods has more in common with electrical current than "proper" music. Mincemeat Or Tenspeed ride waves of feedback like surfers scaling a giant, white-hot crest of pure manic energy, soaring [...]
classic video alert! DJ Scotch Egg 's classic chiptune symphony was released in 2007 but still a really wild piece the video was directed by Steve Glashier [via Plastik ]
I ventured West last week to my first Supersonic Festival , specialising in alternative and experimental music, organised by the lovely people at Capsule . "Festival of the Year", "fits more great music into a day and a bit than ye Avalon fields of Glastonbury manage in the average decade" and "More cake than any man can handle*" say the press blurbs about previous years so expectations were high as we ventured into the cobbled streets of the Custard Factory on a slightly chilly Friday night. After refuelling at the bar, we wander [...]

the gunmetal grays and graffitied browns of some languishing city welcomes me into it's squat modernist folds with near pornographic delight. the rain? the rain beats down on me like i'm an errant child, hissing with ponderous squall and tormenting silence. the rain, it's a gift from home. everything's crumbling and broken down. everything's newborn and post-something. it starts [...]
this will probably in all likelihood, almost certainly, be the most genuinely enjoyable thing at supersonic. dj scotch egg? he puts the eff you in fun. he puts the semen in amusement. actually the last one's me, but hey. so who is this (as is traditional) shittily named dj? real name shigeru ishihara. of japan, now england. friends [...]
Not all of Stereogum's favorite sounds conform to what folks expect us to cover. In this space, resident Bananafish fetishist Brandon Stosuy focuses on bands, albums, singles, and villages in Sweden that may otherwise pass by unnoticed. This installment's virtual milk crate contains Pumice , Nurse With Wound , DJ Scotch Egg , more from Hayvanlar Alemi , and something from Ulver Pumice is New Zealander Stefan Neville. His new album QUO is my favorite of his dozens of releases, which go back to 1994 [...]
