Siinai – "Victory" Although it has been available in their home country since last summer, the debut album from Finnish krautrock revivalists Siinai, Olympic Games , is set to see a stateside re-release on the 21st of this month through Splendour Records . Judging by their band name, the album's title, art, and track names ("Marathon", "Finish Line", "Mt. Olympos"), the band appears to be paying homage to the ancient Olympic spirit in it's purest form, and as [...]
If you ever spent time on the older Surfing on Steam platform then you know that National Skyline is one my favorite L.A. acts. While I applaud numerous bands resurrecting dream-pop and atmospheric music, particularly from the late 80s/early 90s, no one does it quite like NS. There's an obvious skill and natural flow in Jeff Garber's songwriting that allows the lyrics to take center stage without ever sacrificing the atmospheric elements. "Dream Like Me" soars in the beginning — very reminiscent to anything found on Slowdive's Souvlaki — but quickly appears out [...]
"Disse che l'aveva trovato, doveva uccidere il lupo, ma il lupo non morì mai. Doveva avvolgersi nella sua pelle perché stava pensando, disse alla foresta, stava pensando al modo per farlo guarire, quel povero leone" Tal como nos anos anteriores, o top das músicas de 2011 aparecerá neste blog em forma de clip, na designação Top Tracks 40-2011. Sim, 40. Este ano desvalorizei ligeiramente a

Sandwiched in, the crowd waited patiently. Blue lights glowed as the labyrinth-esque creature from the artwork for "Midnight City" took the stage, parallel arms raising slowly as synths enveloped the airwaves. Darkness came again, and the humans [...]
Genre: Kosmische, Synth Label: Ethereal Mother Tapes Kösmonaut is a guy from Texas who dedicate his music to the German electronic pioneers like Con Schnitzler or Klaus Schulze. Berliner Schule and Kosmische Musik may have a revival nowadays. Many artists and releases referring to these terms and provide just layers of New Age Synth-Noodling and simple sequencer/arpeggiator stuff, which is al [ This is the summary, read the whole story on Website ]
San Francisco has a long history with psychedelic music, but no band epitomizes the new psychedelic sound of San Francisco like Wooden Shjips. After releasing some great records on Holy Mountain, Wooden Shjips unleash West , their first record for Thrill Jockey. West finds the band in a proper studio for the first time and the new environment suits them well, as West is undoubtedly Wooden Shjips' best record to date. In the past, when introducing someone to Wooden Shjips, I would describe the band's sound as a heavy-psych record played by the [...]
![[Album Review/Listen] – Zombi – "Escape Velocity"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3650858_lg.jpg)
Tweet Buy the album - Vinyl / MP3 / CD Zombi have come full circle. The keyboard driven, prog-rock sound of their debut album "Cosmos" sat a little awkwardly next to the the output of heavy-metal, Relapse Records label mates like Baroness and Mastodon. Over time, though, that signing began to make sense: on their sophomore album, "Surface To Air", Zombi's playing got more intricate, sounding like Rush without [...]
A brisk look at a marvellous trio of promo`s sent over the past month and although all dramatically different, each track will warrant deeper investigations.

Click here to view the embedded video. There seems to be only so much you can do with a stoner rock / space rock hybrid sound, but White Hills always seems to push that sound just a little bit further. With their latest album, H-p1 , White Hills advance that sound one step more. Over the course of 70 minutes and two LPs, White Hills manage to bring together all that is great about their music. The band seamlessly blends some heavy 70's rock riffs, drone, and psychedelic space [...]
Though without the international following of some of their more famed American psych counterparts, the relevance of Carlton Melton to that loose community of artists can be found by looking at the acknowledgments within the liner notes to Country Ways. Here, they give thanks to all of Wooden Shjips, White Hills, Earthless, Bardo Pond and Empty Shapes; that Carlton Melton count those esteemed
Back in April 2009, I spoke fondly of this new Shoegaze band out of England, led by Dean Garcia, founding member of 90's Electro/Shoegaze band Curve with singer/songwriter Toni Halliday. His new leading lady as it were happens to be his daughter Rose Berlin, who's done a bang up job so far. Can't forget lead guitarist Joey Levenson who adds [...]
Brooklyn-based quintet Quiet Lights are readying a new EP for release in June. In the meantime check out their devotional shoegaze on previous single 'No More Canyons' No More Canyons 7" by Quiet Lights
San Francisco based, analogue loving duo Extra Classic have released their debut 7" 'Congo Rebel' in a limited run of 300. The dusty psychedelic dub gem was recorded at their studio using classic equipment from the 60s (including Ampex 440 1/4" 2-track, Tascam 48 1/2" 8-track, Roland RE-201 Space Echo, MXR Phase-100, AKG 414, Altec 1567, Memphis-made Auditronics Grandson Console - I love reading lists of kit, don't you?). Extra Classic 'Congo Rebel' [...]
Space-Rock Quintet's Journey Through The "Exploration Of Sound" Continues. Los Angeles based psychedelic rock quintet ANCESTORS will release an EP of all new music titled Invisible White on June 21 via Tee Pee Records. The follow up to the group's sophomore album Of Sound Mind, Invisible White marks the debut of new member Matt Barks on Moog / modular synthesizers and charts a new course for the band's progressive, colorful sound. "This record showcases another side of the band," comments ANCESTORS guitarist Justin Maranga. "It's a project that we've been talking about doing for [...]
It's kismet, karma, predestination, Newton's Third Law, Ørlǫg, Wyrd... It's very definitely Doom, in its middle English and musical definitions: a preordained, generally negative or dreaded, outcome and a slow-moving, ugly sub-genre of heavy metal. We've just got our hands on Hypersleep by VYRG , which we've previewed moderately ecstatically before... The universe felt the jonsing here. The universe responded, one might daresay, rather expansively... (hence the above thesaurus-fest). Hypersleep , it turns out, sounds like: Cthulhu, drunk on peyote-laced nepenthe. [...]
'The Void' is 7+ minutes of hypnotic astral rumblings by new outfit Galaxy Empire .
Genre: Psychedelic Rock, Indie Label: self Is it an album or a demo? Maybe both. The production is a bit boomy, because of all the reverb. But underneath there shines through some really good songs. I would highlight Life in Death with that nice guitar figure. Another remarkable track is Angstzzz - a great raw Indie -,Psych Rock piece.
