[ Ghostly International ] ( buy mp3s ) Most electronic music lovers are probably not familiar with the work of Justin Broadrick under his older incarnations as the guitarist for one of Birmingham's heaviest metal groups, Napalm Death or his own band Godflesh. Over the years Broadrick's work has become increasingly focused on drone and shoegaze, leading him to completely forego the guitars for his most recent project and fix his attention on the synths. This release comes from the remix album of an earlier work as Jesu, the album titled [...]

The Weekly...or for this occasion, "Monthly" Graboid is back once again after another lengthy absence. No excuses, but it's here and there is more than enough new stuff to sample for the month of August. As of right now I can promise updates on TYS this week, and possibly beyond considering I renewed my hosting service for another year. It's been extremely difficult to remain motivated with this site, but all the support from all of our readers is what makes me continue to push forward. I've also created a Tumblr page that I find [...]
What's one of the only things better than one insanely talented and creative Ghostly International artist putting out an atmospheric jam? Well, two of them, of course. Scott Hansen, aka musician Tycho and aka amazing visual artist ISO50. And fellow Ghostly artist Mux Mool has done a mighty fine job of remixing "From Home" as part of the reissue of Tycho's Past is Prologue EP, released earlier this year. Don't forget to check out Mux Mool's Skulltaste as well if you haven't already, it is mighty [...]
Apologies for no release list for last week. It looks like I came back just in time for a fun one! To get the obvious out of the way: Katy Perry . In the "more fun" department, !!! is back with more dark dance punk and Antony and the Johnsons have a new EP to get us excited for a full-length release later this year, Eels is back again, Mogwai has what I assume will be some solid instrumental jams and Neil Hamburger will squeeze [...]

"honey", the opening track of matthew dear's latest release black city starts off on the same footing as "walk on the wild side", with that familiar brooding note, suspended midway whilst conducting an introspective survey of the dirty streets that becomes the setting and topic of interest for the rest of the album. yet, this is less of a concept album than it is a descriptive one, relying largely on dear's sonic mastery of mood and atmosphere as its distinctive entry point. in "honey", you're drawn into the story not by the narrative itself, but the [...]
Those of you who aren't familiar with the electronica of 'Gold Panda' definitely should be. Amongst the burgeoning digressions of genre that come and go within digital music, it is Gold Panda's footprints that have made a consistent and authoritative mark this year. He has been inadvertently labeled as the glo-fi sunshine sound, of our yet to be ephemeral summer, and I cannot deny that his sounds attribute themselves quite fittingly to such a setting. However, as you'll see below, much of Derwin's music has been misconstrued by the vanguard of self assuming music critics like myself. I was lucky [...]

"Get Frostied" is just one vice from Deastro's Mind Alter EP (Ghostly International), an uncensored follow-up to his acclaimed early-2009 release, Moondaggar. With spiraling electronic flair spanning the quickstep drumbeat and distant echoing vocals, simply listening to the single makes you feel half-baked—and consequently question his definition for the term "frosty." Add some pills and [...]

On October 12th, both the UK's Gold Panda and Edmonton's Hot Panda will be releasing their newest efforts in the States. While both bands seem to have a fondness for the lovable bear, they couldn't have more divergent aural aesthetics. Gold Panda's Lucky Shiner ( Ghostly International ) contains 13 tracks of effervescent, beat-driven electronic music, with an unmistakable Asian influence. (He [...]
