Because posting about one album on Type Records today isn't enough, here's a stream of the new Pete Swanson album. You may remember him from the now defunct noise and drone duo Yellow Swans . On this new album of Pete's-which I believe is the second he's released this year-the sounds being showcased are loud, high-pitched, and bloodcurdling. Many of them have a relentless and heavy four-to-the-floor beat, making me feel like I'm listening to a noisy, dissonant techno song. If this doesn't get you cupping your ears, it'll surely get [...]

Pete Swanson — "Cocktail Champion" Pete Swanson , prolific solo shredder and one-half of the dearly departed Yellow Swans , has a new 3-track outing on Three Lobed Records called I Don't Rock At All . At the release's center sits "Cocktail Champion", a fierce slow-burner that unloads 8-minutes of transcendent amp-wreckage and slowly twisting squalls of distortion. Going Places indeed.
The Phoenix-born Northern California/Brooklyn-based noisemakers Servile Sect play "sci-fi influenced black metal." It's even more awesome than that sounds. The band, featuring Luke Krnkr (one half of ITHI) and Ash Borer's Nhate Clmnt, previously released two full-lengths (and one EP), the last one Realms Of The Queen via Ecstatic Peace. Album three Trvth is out now in an edition of 250 courtesy of R. Loren's trusty Handmade Birds imprint. (I gave Trvth a mention at the start of my Top 26 Metal Albums Of 2011 So Far because it's another favorite, one [...]
As I'm sure you're all aware, tomorrow marks the dawning of the Rapture (6 P.M. Eastern Standard Time), in which believers will be whisked off to eternal salvation while the earth's tainted masses (see: atheists, mimes, music bloggers) will be sentenced to 5 months of pestilence, famine, and other vaguely unfavorable things. Because you'll need a kickin' rad soundtrack to spin while the locusts devour you whole, we've assembled Repent! , a mix of 17 songs steeped in that sweet End Times Flavor™. Enjoy, and pick up a t-shirt while you're at it. [...]
[RSS Readers: See post to listen to audio] With the big electronic goth movement happening here in NYC comes some pros and cons, one definite pro that has come from it is the music, nothing has grabbed me more than this oOoOO remix, this could have been on the last Telefon Tel Aviv album and I wouldn't have blinked twice, pretty perfect sounding. I always get super giddy for new Tim Hecker , I can close my door to my room and let his songs fill my room, its always an experience [...]
List and words by Jacob Barron Despite its relative youth, there's already a Draw Us Lines style, or a Draw Us Lines sound, if you will; an admirably fluid set of characteristics that can be used to describe all the music discussed herein.... Absolutely none of these albums fit into that set. Some of them are more mainstream than much of what's discussed here, but no less artful or worth checking out. Others are even less mainstream than much of what's discussed here, mining [...]
Yellow Ostrich : another new band that snuck up on me (not to be confused with noise band Yellow Swans). Their new record The Mistress is pretty swell, and this song is an unusually good cut from it. Lo-fi layered gorgeousness, with hints of Velvet Underground. And there's something chilling and sad here, sounds like it might be coming from your parents: "Mary, you are doing drugs, don't you think we know? You always seemed a little too happy. Mary, Mary."

The year is just over half-way through, and so it seems like a good time to make a of list of some of my favorite music that's come out this year. I've included my favorite albums and songs (not from my 'Top Albums' list), as well as the releases I'm most excited for coming out (probably) this year. Looking back on the first 6 months of 2010, it's been a pretty impressive year. There's been some expected favorites (Titus Andronicus, The National, Broken Social Scene, Tallest Man On Earth) but mostly it's been stuff I didn't know that I would [...]

About a week ago, when I posted about the end of noise duo Yellow Swans , I promised a review of their recently released farewell album 'Going Places'. Since then, I have listened to Going Places over and over and over (the play count on my iPod is now up to 11) but I still find saying exactly what it is I like about this album to be elusive. Its not that Going Places isn't a good album, but in general, the appeal of noise seems to be more of a vague feeling than any concrete thing [...]
As of the release of their newest album 'Going Places' [review to come] the Portland, Oregon noise duo Yellow Swans (aka Drowned Yellow Swans, Duh Yellow Swans, Ded Yellow Swans, Doorendoorslechte Yellow Swans etc) is no more. Since their inception in 2001 they have released only a few full length albums, but they are best known by the dozens CD-Rs, tapes, and limited releases which they have put out at a prolific rate. Their music is self described as "a constantly evolving mass of psychedelic noise that is both physically arresting and psychically liberating... a [...]
Just got hooked to Portland, Oregon based Yellow Swans ' latest and supposedly final album Going Places, a mammoth combo of noisy soundscapes and bleak futures. Boomkat sez: Legendary American noise unit Yellow Swans return with what is purportedly their final studio album and without doubt their most devastating collection of noise/drone recordings yet, a majestically defining album of collapsing supernova psychedelics. Mapsadaisical sez : But going where, exactly? And why, damn it? Listening to the last Yellow Swans album to [...]
But going where, exactly? And why, damn it? Listening to the last Yellow Swans album to be released after their seemingly amicable split almost two years ago, it really feels like Pete Swanson and Gabriel Mindel Salomon went their separate ways when they were still at their peak. The thick billows of charred guitar smoke [...]
Yellow Swans have always been a force of nature, rippling with the deterioration of earth, of mind and of the gods themselves. They echo the primal. They mirror the industrial. They are the sound of breaking restraint and of final submission. To label Yellow Swans merely noise is to miss the point of what's happening in their dense canon of soundscapes. They are the fallout and the flashpoint. They've felt your foreboding, your ambivalence, your hatred and your acceptance. They've churned these elements into the primordial soup of sound that rises up your spine like the first and last inkling [...]
Yellow Swans At All Ends (Load, 2007) At All Ends was a revelatory moment for me. It marked the first time I was ever able to describe the Yellow Swans' music as beautiful. Of course, that's pretty subjective. I'm positive there are plenty of people who would haughtily disagree with that assessment. But the transition was clear; At All Ends (in addition to all the cassettes and CDrs released around the same period from the band) was something different. A whole new [...]
He was a Benedictine priest, a linguist, a foremost world authority on archaic pre-Christian, pre polyphonic music. He was also the most famous exorcist in Venice, Italy as well as a quantum physicist. He was a world class scholar who did not view science and the metaphysical to be differentiated by a hard and fast line. Father Marcello Pelligrino Ernetti was born in 1925 outside of Rome and entered the Benedictine abbey of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice at the age of 16, remaining there until his death at the age of 69. Ernetti first crossed the [...]
