Felix Uran - Masprojekt_3 ( buy ) Rasmus Folk - Pavel ( buy ) Earnesto Rogers - Vespa (final) The Endless House Foundation release on Dramatic Records has been my most listened to record for some time now. A conceptual compilation of tracks that came about from the idea of one man with an obsession for new technology and new sound. That man was Jiri Kantor, a millionaire who these days resides in the [...]

De derde maand van dit jaar was een ongekend drukke met betrekking tot releases, althans, welke ik tot mij genomen heb. Ik neem aan dat ik Bibio , Eleanoora Rosenholm , Niggas With Guitars , Rene Hell , Kreidler , Bridget Hayden en Kurt Vile niet meer hoef te noemen? In het begin van de maand zag ook het album Civilian van Wye Oak het levenslicht, een van de weinige indie albums die mij de laatste tijd nog heeft weten te bekoren. Vooral het titelnummer maakt duidelijk [...]

Von Spar is German collective that makes music that sounds like the perfect match between Gomma and DFA or Lcd Soundsystem and Munk, if u ask me its a frocking blast !!!!!!!! Enjoy | Von Spar - trOOps

so here i finally am. settled in melbourne. new city, new house, shiny new server space. and new internet connection at home (perhaps the most vital part of any blogging endeavour). as i said before, writing for blouse sydney in melbourne will be a little strange, but im kind of freaked out at the prospect of changing our url. does anyone have any experience in doing this? is there any way to do it without getting us lost? they say that moving house is one of the most stressful things a person can do, and i would definitely [...]

Still carrying the brightly lit torch from the recent Harri show, Animals Dancing are doing it to us again, presenting two of New York's finest: Prince Language and DJ Spun - and I must say, the flame will be burning mighty hot for this one. Taking place in the Mercat basement, the king of all dungeons, boasting a beautiful sound system and ample dancing vibe. Prince Language (NYC - The No Comprendo - DFA/k7/Editions Disco) Prince Language's acclaimed remix work for artists like LCD [...]

Soms kan oude klinkende muziek enorm verfrissend aandoen. Zo kwam ik tussen alle grote voorspelbare releases van afgelopen maand zomaar uit het niets Von Spar tegen, met het derde album Foreigner . De act was aan mijn aandacht ontsnapt ik een tip kreeg van Theo Ploeg . Dit naar aanleiding van het bericht dat leden ervan de samenwerking hebben gezocht met Axel Willner ( The Field ), Ada, Jörg Burger ( The Modernist ), Jens-Uwe Beyer ( Popnoname ) en John Stanier ( Battles ). Hoewel die supergroep Cologne Tape al op papier niet [...]

Von Spar stürmen mit "tr00ps" die Tanzfläche. Auf ihrem dritten Album destillieren die Kölner den Krautrock, den sie auf dem Vorgänger für sich entdeckt haben. Von Spar haben eine kurze, aber bewegte Karriere hinter sich. Nach diversen und Label- und Besetzungswechseln veröffentlicht das Kölner Kollektiv dieser Tage bei Italic Recordings sein drittes Album "Foreigner". Von Spar haben über die Jahre vom Elektro-Post-Punk zu einem entspannten Sound gefunden, der aus dem goldenen Zeitalter des Synthesizers schöpft. Während die Vorabsingle HyBoLT mit New Age [...]

Some solid gold new releases in the past week or so, here's a look at just some of them. Von Spar's newie is a splendid Kraut adventure that borrows very slightly from Can's 'I Want More'. Also comes with an epic Prins Thomas Disco mix, get the full release here . Von Spar- HyBolt (Download) Super new compilation due on Stones Throw Records entitled 'Psych Funk 101' : Features fuzzy psychedelic tracks from Nigeria, Iran, Turkey, Russia & South Korea during the late 60's/early [...]
Where a nefarious fever unleashes upon your humble scribe a wicked storm of memories powerful like vampire sirens, they bite, but their bite is sweet, they sing, and their song is wistful. And what is the story that they utter? One of sweaty bedrooms where some kids fight for the fate of ...

There's lots of bands influenced by classic Krautrock these days, but Von Spar stand out because they are actual Krauts! Like Can, Von Spar are from Cologne, and like Ash Ra Tempel, they like to do epic side-long jams. Now, Von Spar aren't just Krautrock revivalists. They pull from that sound, but they also pull from early Industrial, metal and post-punk. This album, their 2nd, is two long tracks. The first starts of with a Liars-esque hypnotic drum beat before turning into a spacy synth workout and then a punk song. The second track begins as an [...]
