Both outlets are exploring various experimental genres, so this material appears as diverse and unique as possible. Rovar17 is not a stranger to these pages, and I had a chance…

OLO – Sombre CD (Various Labels)
It’s been a while since I had a chance to stumble upon, listen and review the material of an experimental artist. Unlike the traditional music scene, it seems a lot of experimental artists decided to take a break during 2020 or work on some other projects. The songwriting and recording process usually takes a lot…

David Christy Jones – Welcome To Virology
The only positive thing about this situation with a pandemic is that creativity blooms inside creative minds, musicians, and artists. The musicians have a lot more spare time to write, compose, record, produce compositions which will later become an integral part of their recordings. David Christy Jones is one of those musicians who wisely spent…

Captain Frederickson – Absolute Disaster
Sometimes instead of composing music about serious issues that globally struck upon humankind on a regular basis, musicians feel an urge to record music about hilarious stuff that no one would ever think. Captain Frederickson is one of those groups focusing on the humorous side of life, but still, the group supports charities with their…

Chinese Powerbank – Brain Pain! (Polyscope)
Judging by the visual identity of this release and the name of the group, I was quite unsure I will ever enjoy this material. At first, I thought this is some power electronics, harsh noise, or any other similar extreme form of experimental avant-garde music. Thankfully, I was completely wrong about visual appearance, and once…

Pick any genre from melodic punk rock, crust punk, stoner, sludge metal, or plain hard rock, Greek bands are nailing it in every genre you could even imagine. I was fully aware of their experimental avant-garde scene and…

Chestnut – Mockingbird (Land Turtle Records)
It’s been a while since we covered a piece of experimental music on our pages.

Chestnut is…
