Miles (Whittaker, also of Demdike Stare, MLZ, Suum Cuique, Pendle Coven etc.) initiates his namesake for the first time via Faint Hearted, save a primer EP, and lead track "Lebensform" is unrepentant as a dark, minimal, witch-affiliated electronic composition can be. ... Continue reading
[First off, only four copies of Ondan left, out of 30. Pick one up now.] I believe in Sujo (Braveheart voice), always have. My attention has been rewarded. Over a series of releases, including an LP, Kahane, on Fedora Corpse, ... Continue reading
The German Army onslaught continues unabated across the battlefields of tape culture. It started with Youtan Poluo, continued with Papua Mass, got weird with Cattle Border, and now: I welcome Holland Village, so smooth it slides down the ear rather than filling it, ... Continue reading
Had many of us heard this before the great post-rock boom of yesteryear we might have saved ourselves a ton of time: Within the No Age compilation exist all the triumphant and desultory aspects of instrumental music, naked for all ... Continue reading
With past releases by Drainolith, Pengo, Jeffrey Cantu-Ledesma and Greg Davis you know Los Discos Enfantasmes possess a keen eye for intrigue. The small Montreal label just released its first LP (a collab b/n Davis and Ben Vida), which is ... Continue reading
Has this record come out yet? I honestly couldn't tell you. Finding info on "It's Mostly Guesswork"/"It'll Clean You Out, But It'll Leave You Hollow Inside," by Haves & Thirds, has been a dirty, rotten bitch of an open-ended task, pied-piper-ing ... Continue reading
Like a lot of people (and shops, apparently), I missed out on the first 500-deep run of Noise Art LPs, every 100 of them infused with a different color of vinyl. Trunk Records, unofficial curators of the work of the ... Continue reading
Koen Holtkamp is part of Mountains, a drone act, history tells us, butLiquid Light Formsrepresents so much more than your typical modern-day synth exercise. I was just telling a friend I'd hit the wall; no more drone, no more synth-drone, ... Continue reading
From the sacred (ruins?) paradigm inhabited by The Black Neck Band Of The Common Loon emerges Kellar, sporting a double-CD with song lengths that are very Loon-like and jams that are anything but. Obviously with less members the idea is ... Continue reading
Apparently Demdike Stare have been catching their breath for the last year, The Weight of Culture being a lead-up to a forthcoming full-length LP. To these ears, the time in the shadows has been good for the duo, the Culture ... Continue reading
A tetralogy is a series of four related dramas, operas, etc., and if Zonotope™ has anything to do with it the term will forever be associated with woozy synthster drones and luscious lazer-tag sonics. I can see why the Tonstartssbandht ... Continue reading
I'll admit I'm a little flustered after discovering Auris Apothecary and Pesanta Urfolk in the same week, but this is what I've been talking about, fuckers! Album As Art lives to this dayto chronicle projects that reach far beyond the ... Continue reading
[See music video for Vapor Gourds' "Greenslaves" below] Look, I KNOW you're sick of all these instrumental electronic records that seem to spring from the ground, fully formed, like audio dwarves on a sick mission to relegate all of us ... Continue reading
How is the band name 'Anwar Sadat' not taken? This super-short tape (one song on each side) drips down an early Abe Vigoda faucet then squeezes through the tears of the unappreciated. Yelling, uptempo riffs, Refused energy, Fugazi/At The Drive-In ... Continue reading

In the garden of Prudence Teacup, Josephine Foster, Cocorosie, Bjork, Niobe and Shenandoah Davis resides one Woodpecker Wooliams, nee Gemma Williams, a woman so worldly to concur several corners of the map (up to this point, the UK and Russia; ... Continue reading
Quit Your Unnatural Ways, by Ava Mendoz & Nick Tamburro I'm trying to figure out why Quit Your Unnatural Ways is different than most of the meta-math trash-thrash-bash-GASH records I've soaked in over the years from duos/artists like Hella, Marnie Stern, ... Continue reading
