yet more music involving saint james toth, surely-by-god contender for most polyphiloprogenitive artist of 2011. and for what it's worth briarwood probably my favourite record this year. some bold, straight-faced / straight-laced kristofferson moves going on here. despite what pitchfork'd have you believe it's been a pretty good year for fellas with guitars singing songs.

m'kay maybe this is a bit too fancy to be dismissed with a wave of fuzzbox, three chords and 4/4 beat, as mere garage. but the core is thatkindofthing. s'pose it's coming from the same place as the amen dunes record sacred bones put out this year: spacemen 3, phil spector, 13th floor elevators, etpetercetera. but there's more oomph, more spunk, less paisley. lashings of fractured psych and muzzy blooms of tunes. hollered swoons of words and melody, smothered, covered, inward looking, buried, hidden/hiding. everything shrouded, dense, gauzey. then they lock into some bastard noisegroove , pirouetting between the [...]
i like e.p. hall's music, made with voice and guitars. i like even more that the songs end up kinda damaged when she's done with them. i like how it's prettiness is skewed. i like that it's off-centeredness unbalances. i like it sometimes when wheels aren't reinvented just spun a slightly different way. i like this . e.p. hall Filed under: mp3 , music i listen to Tagged: e.p. hall , mechanical hands , [...]

what the fuck is this? they shriek, lunging for the (virtual) volume knob. slapping hands back with fiendish precision, i counter, glossolalia. their confusion gains me valuable seconds. i'm quickly armed and brandishing. by way of explanation i sink into religious trance and start babbling in aroused, slurred cut-up: of lord rod i fear, his oil forever runneth over me, before the staff i shall lie down, my comfort preparest thy goodness, he annointest me in shepherd water, a soul green and evil... etpetercetera. soon it's all liquid syllable. i find a rhythm. a sharp descent [...]
epic drone (like there's any other kind). all trembles, sighs and ellipses... less facetiously, this is pretty textured. the kinda thing i used to dig about labradford. guitar strings to the fore, often gently damaged beyond recognition but oh when it drifts into great yawned notes and breezeblock reverb, well my heart get's all a-fluttered. talvihorros Filed under: mp3 , music i listen to Tagged: descent into delta , drone , music , talvihorros

i already got trouble with my kids my wife my business my secretary the bums the runaways the roaches and a homo dog... exploitation of the highest order. poetry as desperation. booze, homelessness, apocalypse. a world of liquor stores, ruined tenements and junkyard rot. vietnam war veterans, dirty fucking freaks. immigration, consumerism, mental illness, dreamstates, desperation, community. the forgotten, the detritus, tramps, cab drivers, bellboys, junk yard dogs, waiters, security guards, mafiosa, street thugs, rapists. new york baby! the ugly rotten conclusion of 802s freemarket policy and a product of its societal cheapening. class politics, gender politics, race politics. a [...]

crikey. it's been a relatively restrained acid mothers year so far. just the cracking pikacyu*makoto combo (i think...). and kinda fitting that this is the most reserved record they've put out; titles, tracks, length, music all exhibiting a relative stately grace. ripper as the basis for lcd soundsystem's losing my edge: but have you seen my records? flower! travellin'! band! led zeppelin, pink floyd, hawkwind, grateful dead, the doors the doors the doors the doors! aye. it's got '67-'71 schmeared all over it. and impishly plays up to it. the brazen buggers. there's a lotta freaking [...]
yes! long time no hear. i'd assumed the buggers were in semi-retirement. but! new material from my favourite concrètists / typeset fetishists. this is kinda playful, kinda pretty. just a shame there's nothing to untangle, unwrap, uncork with aac's...

in terms of song as summation, of man / myth, lucinda williams' drunken angel nails it. buncha verses that get to the core of blaze foley and his fucked cosmology (but hell could have been written about van zandt or hank williams, steve earle or johnny cash in the depths of their respective artistic highs/personal voids). some kind of saviour singing the blues / a derelict in your duct tape shoes / your orphan clothes and long dark hair / looking like you didn't care / drunken angel [...]
