Sick / Cunt
7" EP. Primitive Calculators release their first new studio efforts since 1979. Thirty-three years after their classic first single I Can't Stop It, Melbourne's hilarious synth-punk snarlers are working on a new studio album to be released in 2013. They reformed in 2009 at the invitation of the Nick Cave-curated All Tomorrow's Parties festival. For many years, Primitive Calculators’ sizeable legend thrived on their self-released 1979 single, a posthumous live album released in the early 80s, and…
Ex Tempo Ra
Andrew Pekler makes his first recorded appearance since 'Sentimental Favourites' for Dekorder with these two dippy radiophonic charms for Plant Migration. Much like his sometime bandmate in Groupshow, Jan Jelinek, your Berlin-based protagonist has a canny knack for making the cutest modular melodies, as evidenced on the flowering bleeps and dusted machine pulses of 'Ex Tempo Ra'. Whereas 'Encounter In The Resonant Void' is more isolated, spacewise, drifting out on sparse, trickling martian melod…
Neue Welt / Lenity
After the release of his debut album in June 2015, Le Millipede is back with a 7" single with "Neue Welt" and "Lenity".
The newcomer to the A-Z of instruments of Le Millipede is the clarinet.
Together with Le Millipede's characteristic percussion, it sets the
basic structure of "Neue Welt". Two melodies of piano and bass trumpet
join in to a euphoric, dreamy tune, only to be shaken up profoundly - or
should we say challenged? - by the second debuting instrument, a
ukulele.
Lenity is melanch…
El Sonido de Joan Lluis Moraleda (7 E.P.)
**450 copies numbered and signed. Includes a diptych (4 pages) and two postcards.** The EP you have in your hands belongs to the time that the Catalan composer Joan Lluís Moraleda spent in Estudios Carbonell in the mid 70s, with amazing songs made of magic string arrangements, pedal fuzz and awesome synthesizers and moog. You can feel the influence of disco music and even the Spaghetti western soundtracks.
Joan Lluís Moraleda was born in Santa Maria de Palautordera (Barcelona) in 1943. At 12,…
Percussion Loops
"On this record, Mads Emil Nielsen divvies up two sides of 7” with a healthy ratio of two to two drum loops, each offering a smattering of ricocheting, crackling and structureless percussion, occasionally abetted with a bit of the ol’ synth additive.As far as comparative pointers go, what comes to mind first is Nicolas Jaar’s construction site ambient record ‘Pomegranates’, which used drums to punctuate long, meandering trails of drone or textural excess. Here, though, Nielsen’s compositions sta…
Danse Pop
"Debut four-song 7" by Brooklyn-via-LA mystery popsters with connections to Raw Thrills, Insted, Outer Limits Recordings, James Ferraro, and Luke Perry. Features Basement Jaxx/Michael Jackson/Sparks pop aspirations filtered through a Haunted Graffiti homemade aesthetic". On white vinyl.
Invisible Angle / Grim Trigger
France Has The Bomb’s new 7″ is now out on Horizontal Action, along with a new Nobunny 7″ and the new Nice Face, which I covered last week. For this entry, I was about to cover the new Nobunny as well to complete the new trio of HoZacs but fuck it, I bet copies of that will be sold regardless. Remember a couple of years back when it seemed like every other band had a RIYL that included Gang of Four? Thing is, 5% of that illustrious group actually sounded like GO4. The other 95%? You can thank la…
Patterns Of Penetrations
Damien Dubrovnik are Loke Rahbek (Lust For Youth, Var,Croatian Amor) and Christian Stadsgaard, two Copenhagen residents who run the prolific Posh Isolation label. "Penis Corset" is driven by a crude and primitive rhythm made from an electronic bass pulse and blown-out synth noise, punctuated by feedback and guttural vocals. On the flip, title-track "Patterns of Penetration" presents a calmer side of the duo's work yet also finds them at their most complex and rich, sonically-speaking, with a …
Kill And Release
Coppertone is Los Angeles’ Sasha Wiseman, a one-woman pop damager specializing in cold, beat-driven anthems swathed in quietly intimidating atmospherics. “Kill and Release” offers bodily transport into a world that’s as surreal and synthetic as it is strangely familiar – something like the dream sequence of a horror film. A woman armed with a net, a knife, keyboards, and lust. Limited edition pressing of 300 copies.
Eastern Saga: Live at Tusk
Turkish free jazzers Konstrukt continue their series of exciting collaborations with Otomo Yoshihide, highly repudiated multi-instrumentalist and composer in the experimental world. #4 in the continuing series of Konstrukt collaborations on Karlrecords is a live document of the concert by the Turkish freeform group with the Japanese experimental musician Otomo Yoshihide from the TUSK Festival 2018. Konstrukt, the Istanbul based free jazz/freeform group founded and led by Umut Çağlar and Korhan F…
Monster Mittens
A new single by neil campbell’s ever-evolving solo project, astral social club. neil (a band, vibracathedral orchestra) with assistance from karl bauer (axolotl) unleashes two electronic psychedelic noise jams with distorted loops, cascading feedback, and the sound of hypnotic drones recorded in space.
Monumento Fiume
*300 copies limited edition* In 2021, the Municipality of Cotignola, Ravenna invited sound artist and composer Giovanni Lami to participate in an artist residency as part of a broader project aiming to investigate the anthropic landscape of the local area. The two-piece composition Monumento Fiume stems from the huge body of field recordings collected by Lami throughout his residency period, which is going to contribute to the soon-to-be Sound archive of Cotignola. As Massimiliano Fabbri points …

All the Way

The album includes both electric live performances (recorded in Par…
Rubbed Out
2023 Stock. The very latest release on the beautifully presented Treader label comes Hot Chip frontman/vocalist and possible Gerry Anderson marionette Alexis Taylor, who threads together a series of instrumentals and pop songs with a little help from Garageband. There are some beautiful synth outings here: from opener 'Fireworks' straight into the creamy, organ-driven 'Plastic Man' which sounds uncannily like the intro to The Killers' 'All These Things That I Have Done' mixed in with a bit of Ca…

Audrey Golden's Thought I Heard You Speak book on the role of women in Factory Records is celebrated with an interview by Jessica Beard.

Cheval Rodéo
*Limited edition of 200* Cheval Rodéo by Trombe, Thomas Beaudelin (sax) and Erwan Cornic (drums), a really jazz-like energy album, with low dynamic sensibility and great interaction between the two musicians.
Maggot Brain #14 (Sep/Oct/Nov 2023)
Cover boy Harry Smith shines thanks to a cheeky, never-before published photo by Allen Ginsberg. We celebrate the life and work of the self-described 'ethnopharmacologist' just in time for the release of John Szwed's illuminating biography and Smith's first one-person art exhibition, at the Whitney, with three killer, well-illustrated features (on his Anthology of American Folk Music, an interview by Marc Masters with Szwed, and a terrific dive into Smith's relationship with fellow visual artist…
Good-Bye Moscow
A great Japanese jazz soundtrack from the late 60s by Toshiro Mayuzumi and Masao Yagi– as full of feeling
and creative inspiration as some of the best French jazz scores of the
New Wave! The tunes here mostly stand out as strong jazz numbers on
their own – although there are a few shorter, more introspective or
scene-setting passages – and although the players and notes are all in
Japanese, we can tell you that the music's mostly in a small combo mode,
with strong solos on tenor, trumpet,…
