2020 Visionary, Anika.

May 22, 8:48am Dots & Dashes
Suuns - "2020 (Anika Remix)" (Official Audio)
I'm about as sceptical of the remix as Anika's musical outpour is ceaselessly claustrophobic, though that said I can appreciate it has a couple core values: 1) it has an inevitable capacity to introduce acolytes of any one artist to whoever it may be that embarks upon any which reconstruction, and 2) were a bigger name to chip in a reconsideration, then it can serve as an indisputable platform for a potentially underestimated, or rather undervalued cultural understudy. I guess the idiosyncratic originality of  Suuns  is more widely renowned than the psychotic covers of the Invada industrialist aforesaid [...]

I’ll Be Your Mirror 2013.

May 7, 11:24am Dots & Dashes
I’ll Be Your Mirror 2013. It's with a faint sense of trepidation we hike forever upward toward Alexandra Palace, not least as the sweltering trudge seemingly represents the metaphoric arrival of festival season which begins in earnest in but a few short weeks' time. It's the time of the season for early starts and later nights, lager glugged from the moment morning stumbles into afternoon as liver, lobes and inner ears quiver as one. Which painfully reminds me I've neglected to bring the old in-ears. Shite. Though Karen O & co. haven't opted for anywhere near as ruinous a line up as ATP [...]

Stoned & Sensational, Goat.

Apr 29, 7:11am Dots & Dashes
That inscrutable Swedish psychs Goat should return with a single entitled Stonegoat seems to make absolute sense. We've previously become acquainted with Goatman, Goathead and Goatlord alike, though this rare delicacy from the enigmatic Korpilombolo ensemble could only be more appositely entitled were its sleeve to signal prerequisite directions for maximum enjoyment: roll; kindle; toke 'til smoked . Though that may go some way to intimating toward a languid inertia when in fact, quite antithetically, Stonegoat reeks of a giddy, if ever primordial euphoria that's at once both conscious and conspicuously active as squiggly guitars shadow elaborate [...]

Record Store Day Invasion, Beak> & The Fauns.

Apr 16, 8:45am Dots & Dashes
So with this year's Record Store Day now only four away, you've doubtless got that list scribbled up alright by now, right? The alarm's set for a time prior to the sun cracking like an abnormally viscid yolk oozing its sluggish way across the bleariest of retinae; the once swelling swear jar's been raided in what was the greatest fucking heist your kitchen's yet seen; the swag, or rather the copious dollops of shrapnel counted. And soon it'll all be yours – Daniel Johnston's  Space Ducks  on limited numbered 123 with the six-panel poster stuffed inside; The Residents' quintessentially batshite [...]

Fest Bests: I’ll Be Your Mirror 2013.

Apr 16, 6:59am Dots & Dashes
Returning for a third outing, if this year streamlined to but the one solitary day next month is to witness the return of All Tomorrow's Parties' tangential I'll Be Your Mirror festival to Alexandra Palace for an afternoon-cum-early evening-cum-black night shebang which looks set to be explosive, and so too expansive as any other. For where previous editions have focussed on altogether gloomier aesthetics ( Portishead called upon anyone and everyone from DOOM and Company Flow to Swans and GY!BE, whilst last year featured the likes of the Melvins, Slayer, Codeine and so on) this [...]

Bloody Hunky, Anika.

Apr 10, 5:13am Dots & Dashes
Following on from Redg Weeks' superlative Run To Your Mama redux of a couple weeks back, the In to Weeks' Vada –  Geoff Barrow – here clambers up the reverb tower to rework a previously unreleased  Anika track entitled Bloodhound. Typically claustrophobic though at that same time a little more loose in contrast with the usual brood, the adopted  Berlinerin returns with quintessentially inauspicious lyrics of "They're coming to get you/ They won't stop 'til you're found" which ooze forth from gloopy gusts of echo and fade. Similarly rhythmically, there's an [...]

College's Debut LP and EP Coming to Vinyl

Mar 11, 10:31pm TheRecordStache
College's Debut LP and EP Coming to Vinyl I remembering sitting in the movie theater watching Drive , and being absolutely blown away by the soundtrack. It was the selections of College and Kavinsky's music in that film that really renewed my addiction to synth pop. Kavinsky recently released his debut album, Outrun (thankfully on vinyl), and now the announcement comes through of College's Secret Diary and Teenage Color receiving the vinyl treatment. The vinyl (and CD...) release of College's music will be issued for the first time ever through Geoff Barlow's (Portishead, DROKK, Quakers) label, Invada. Scheduled for [...]

GOAT Stewed à la Redg Weeks.

Mar 7, 5:18am Dots & Dashes
GOAT - Run To Your Mama (Redg Weeks Remix)
World Music , last year's début full-length from envelope-pushing Swede psychs Goat , was an irrefutably great album – one which is celebrated avidly even to this day, and one suspects we'll continue to froth at the chops over it for quite some time to come. Though one of its perhaps  less great moments is its shortest and indeed least substantial track, Run To Your Mama. Or rather it was, until Invada head honcho  Redg Weeks got his hooves on it to deftly transmogrify into an upbeat dub throb of a thing. Its newly fabricated bass line [...]

Their Time Is Now. Thought Forms, Ghost Mountain.

Feb 25, 8:00am Dots & Dashes
Wiltshire trio and Invada starlets Thought Forms have, depending on the strength of your predilection for squalling shoegaze and comparable genre stylisation, happened to release their sophomore full-length and their significantly finer of the two, Ghost Mountain , at a time when this form of sonic experimentation is more or less at its peak. It's their best thus far, though has it been released at the worst possible time? You can't tap a toe without treading on a pedal at the moment and though they've here compiled a compelling, richly textured, and admirably versatile collection, it may [...]

Savage. Beak> Electric Ballroom.

Feb 22, 10:18am Dots & Dashes
It was but a few short months ago that we last caught Beak> though being that rare breed of band that you could quite contentedly go see nightly, tonight arrives not an evening too soon. There's a compelling volatility to all that Geoff Barrow, Billy Fuller and Matt Loveridge do, with their each and every appearance a kind of involving chat roulette – you talk, and you're quite likely to get a pretty vitriolic ticking off. I've seen Geoff chastise his fair share, and you'd be scared to your chromosomes were he to turn [...]

Holing Out, Thought Forms.

Jan 16, 11:06am Dots & Dashes
Wiltshire's Thought Forms will, by nature, always function on the fringes, just as their beginnings in the more bucolic and woolly wilds of the South-West geographically detach them from the unendingly, and with that insufferably hurried bustle of London. However with the letting loose of latest single Only Hollow, the trio quite strikingly assimilate themselves (aurally at least) to that same frenzy and indeed more transparently, to Hole: Charlie Romijn's insouciant vocal floats carefree over manic, siren-like squalls of guitar and clattered cymbal as at times the troupe sound as though they may veer off into that ravenous, [...]

Competition: Win Dots & Dashes’ Records of 2012.

Dec 18, 2012, 10:36am Dots & Dashes
We've spent this week doing more figurative wrapping up of the year than we have literally wrapping golds, frankincenses and myrrhs, with both our Shows of 2012 and Records of 2012 features now alive and kicking, even if this year itself only has less than a couple weeks left in its legs. Here's hoping you've been able to vicariously experience evenings from the former category through us if you couldn't make them for whatever reason, though it's the latter that we're here centralising our attentions upon. As documentations of a determined time, records are the one [...]

Dots & Dashes’ Shows of 2012.

Dec 18, 2012, 7:15am Dots & Dashes
Dots & Dashes’ Shows of 2012. Over the course of this past year, we've upped the impetus placed upon live happenings and more significantly on those situated in and around London: nights on end spent out and about have become increasingly exhausting, as we strive to conjure an increasingly exhaustive coverage. Consequently we can only hope these are wearying steps in the right direction as, at least from a subjective perspective, witnessing your revered artists recite their most estimable pieces – in full as did some of the below, or otherwise – is a substantial chunk of what it's all about. Here we've more or less [...]

Still Kenn & Ever Eager, Beak>

Dec 11, 2012, 7:10am Dots & Dashes
Long since a staple of  Beak>'s inimitably immaculate live show , trepidatious listener meet Kenn; Kenn meet trepidatious listener. Now featured as the flipside to recent single Mono , it here becomes accessible even to the less obsessive Invada enthusiast. The prime disparity I've always found to be intrinsic when comparing the LPs and live shows of the trio also comprising label honcho Geoff Barrow and Fairhorns' Matt Loveridge  concerns bassist Billy Fuller's central involvement. Yes, his bulbous lines tinge the records with their dub undercurrent though it's only [...]

A Tale Told Two Ways. Boris / Joe Volk, Split Release.

Dec 11, 2012, 6:49am Dots & Dashes
Billed as one story told two ways , the creative conjoining of sludgy Tokyo heck-raisers Boris and Bristol's now quiet rioter Joe Volk is a weird one in innumerable ways. Though will the imaginatively entitled  Split Release be forever remembered as one of the greater stories told across 2012 now that we've truly descended into the nebulous blizzard of year-end, list-phrased prioritising? Well, the obvious answer would be a staunch no . Though that is primarily because most of said lists were outed long before this week's release date. [...]

Heavy Rocks. Boris & Joe Volk, Scala.

Dec 7, 2012, 7:04am Dots & Dashes
Throw together Tokyo sludge metal experimentalists Boris and Bristol-based acoustic ambientalist Joe Volk , and you forge for yourself a striking equilibrium of what ought to be utter disharmony. Take the first syllables of each and you compose the nickname of the hapless and straw-haired, harebrained toff to run this town tonight , but that's beside the point. In his absence, and in irrefutable incompatibility here lies great redemption and live revitalisation of two very contrasting sorts. There's a collaborative feel to the combining of Atsuo, Wata, Takeshi, and Volk not least [...]
