Along with a lot of excellent new EPs and singles, this year has seen the official release of Light Asylum 's In Tension , our favorite EP of 2010 . I should also mention Arthur Russell 's outstanding Let's Go Swimming 12", which got reissued with a previously unreleased bonus track. As for this year's releases, these are some of our favorites: Holy Other : With U Laurel Halo : Hour Logic Maria Minerva : Sacred [...]

Ok, je ne vais pas le nier, j'étais prévenu. Les mecs de LED ER EST sont certes de très grands musiciens, mais ont pour réputation de ne pas avoir la presse facile. Je l'apprendrais à mes dépens, poussé par le vice de la curiosité de connaître un peu mieux ces trois loustics dont l'adulation est aussi grandissante que le mystère qui s'épaissit autour d'eux. L'interview la plus brève du monde, c'est ici… Et leur dernier clip en dessous. D'où vient votre nom, LED ER EST ? [...]
led er est - "lonesome xoxo" (download)" Brooklyn's Led Er Est recently released this 6-song EP May on the always impressive Captured Tracks label. Gritty, modern, minimal synth. They have also released stuff on Wierd Records. buy
En survolant le catalogue passé de Mannequin , nous avons été agréablement accrochés par un split paru l'an dernier, réunissant les new-yorkais Led Er Est et les italiens Ancien Régime . Le responsable de cette parution est la tête de l'étiquette, Alessandro Adriani, qui semble s'être donné comme mission de réunir l'ancien et le nouveau continents au sein d'une internationale électronique underground - il agit d'ailleurs aussi ici à titre de réalisateur pour Ancien Régime .

On avait laissé le trio new-yorkais en proie à des cauchemars poussiéreux, réminiscences de coldwave en hystérie collective. Led Er Est nous revient plus glacial que jamais avec un nouvel EP sobrement intitulé May , illustration d'un printemps aux couleurs hivernales, dégageant de fortes odeurs de souffre et de dioxyde de carbone. Changement dans la continuité, Led Er Est nous offre des mélodies de plus en plus étoffées et s'extirpe peu à peu du carcan ninimal wave dans lequel on a tenté de le cloisonner. Ceux qui avaient pu mettre là main sur leur split [...]
(Quote from Iain M. Banks , image is concept art for the Forewer War film adaptation that is on the works) You may be aware that members of the 20jazzfunkgreats community infiltrated the sprawling Barcelonan fields where Primavera Sound took place last week. This was a great endeavour for us crowd-challenged agoraphobes, but one that bore its fruit in many a mind-blowing concert. It is with retrospective wisdom that your rapporteur has come to realise how great the overall thing was, in spite of some software issues that you may have heard about [...]
I've been curious for a while about when kraut-rock disciples Led Er Est would unleash another throbbing blast of darkness on my world, and I'm happy to say - right now. "Lonesome XOXO" feels like the soundtrack to a Dario Argento film set in space. It's one part snaky bass-line, one part fear-based propulson, with [...]

Order May 123 here , check out Professor Genius' remix of 'Madi la Lune' here , and HERE's the opening track from May : Lonesome XOXO Led Er Est Com .

Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Led Er Est is a cold wave / post-punk band formed in early 2007 by Samuel Kklovenhoof and Shawn NoEQ. Drawing from the dire, aggressive textures of first-wave industrial music, the craftsmanship and ambience of cold wave and post-punk, and the primal kineticism of old school house and techno, the project was initially more of an outlet for song fragments and delirious baubles. As their sound took a more structured turn towards the end of 2007, Owen Stokes was recruited to add an additional synth to the minimal electronic arsenal. [...]
You probably won't hear a record like that using guitars that is this good ever in your life I bet, The Sight Below marries devastation with beautiful at a syrupy tempo, a must have for late night no talking get togethers. A new album from Eluvium is always welcomed with open arms by my ears, here's a short and fluttery piano piece by the highly talented artist, also make sure to pick the LP for the vocal material as well. Kaito 's makes trance okay to listen to because [...]
The later part of last year saw a resurgence of what 'they' are now calling Minimal Synth or (even) Coldwave, but which I would really just call SynthPop. I guess it's SynthPop inspired by the late 70's/early 80's pioneers of the genre rather than the mid 80's chart toppers, if you wanted to be really picky I'd call it Futurist music, but whatever, scenes do love their genre names so Minimal Synth it is! Led Er Est hailing from Brooklyn are one of the leaders of the pack, signed to scene leaders Wierd Records [...]
I've put together a mix of various minimal and cold wave, synth punk, some old some new, a lot of which has been covered endlessly by 20JFG . Regardless, in keeping the current revivalist spirit this type of anemic, eastern blockist, psuedo-fascist dance music is sounding hyper fresh, at least for the next coupla months. It's a very specific sound, with an unforgiving, axiomatic stance that can get old quick. But it's also a type of wild posturing whose freedom lies in it's restrictions. Frowns welcome. Câlin - [...]
Brilliant, nervy synth-punk from Brooklyn's Led er Est that will make your eye twitch with dystopian satisfaction: {MP3} Led Er Est – "Laredo" Their album is out now on Wierd Records. (via xxjfg)
Figures hits with Ian Curtis pronouncements from out of the fresh dusty rubble: the lazy work of laser equipped, nihilistic shock troop. Marching marching ever on through the ruinous concrete follies of Superpowers. Empty shells, empty windows, illuminated by the lattice of those oscillating death rays. Automatic. Figures hits with simple synthetic melodies running up and [...]
Xeno & Oaklander - dont nous vous avons parlé il y a quelques jours - ne sont pas les seuls new-yorkais de la famille Wierd à faire parler d'eux cet automne. Le trio Led Er Est , qui s'était comme eux distingué en dispersant quelques pistes envoûtantes sur des compilations récentes, nous propose un premier album intitulé Dust On Common . Les deux formations partagent évidemment une passion pour les drum machines analogues, les nappes de sons synthétiques et les voix ténébreuses abusant parfois un peu d'écho. Mais là où la [...]
Was für ein langweiliges spannendes Musikjahr 2009: Während die Ersten schon im Januar ihre Jahresendliste schreiben wollten (Animal Collective), merkten die Anderen erst gegen Ende, wie mühsam es werden dürfte, 10 Lieder zu selektieren, die dann auch noch 2009 erschienen sein mussten. Heraus kamen dabei Listen, die -- um es höflich auszudrücken -- austauschbar wirken. Und beweisen, wie sehr wir vom vorgekauten Hype der Pitchforks und Stereogums futtern. Wir, die wir doch so unabhängig sein möchten. Bleibt also die Hoffnung auf 2010? mr. Gnome – Slow Side The Raveonettes [...]
