Embassy 516 – Surveillance Of The Environment CD (Geenger Records)
Once again, I am digging through the Geenger Records archives in search of some of their older releases, and I stumbled upon a familiar name. This name doesn’t need any introduction to those who’re following the Croatian alternative music scene. Embassy 516 is a longevous alternative rock group that roams the scene for quite a…

Atlantaeum Flood – One Day LP (Schoolkids Records)
Today, we have another exceptional group on our pages. This time, I decided to introduce some divine instrumental music to you, and this particular recording will perhaps suit those who are in search of flawlessly performed psychedelic instrumental sound. Atlantaeum Flood is one of many projects/bands that involves Marty Willson-Piper, best known for his work…

Century Egg – Little Piece Of Hair 12″ EP (Forward Music Group)
There is a plenty of outstanding indie rock bands out there, and you can’t even say anything negative about their music because they all sound equally good. However, the groups that are popping out from the crowd are rare today, so some of those groups may sound similar or almost the same. Luckily, there are…

TV Generation & The Sinema – Live at Uncle Lou’s, Orlando FL 7″ (DCxPC Live Vol. 2)
DCxPC strikes back with another volume of the live split releases. I had an opportunity to write about the first edition, so the DCxPC decided to send a second volume for review. For those who somehow missed my previous review, DCxPC was one of the first ones who adapted live streams during the pandemics, but…

Grimm Winter – Grimm Winter
For some weird reason, I pushed aside pop-punk music in the past couple of weeks. It’s not that I got bored by the pop-punk sound, but it seems to me that the pop-punk scene has been quiet for a while. I am positively sure there a lot of brand new recordings out there, but maybe…

Blue Coffee – In And Out
The contemporary music scene offers so many brilliant groups that seek the attention of the broader auditorium, but somehow most of them remain unheard and never gain well-deserved recognition. It seems like this quarantine caused by the pandemic gave a lot of spare time to musicians to finish their recordings, but most of them released…

Amir – Rise, From The Depths, Of A Preliminary State of Youth: A Change Within One In Worlds
We rarely have a chance to stumble upon artists from Beirut. At least that’s the case with me on these pages. It seems like middle eastern artists are not getting enough exposure because of the rapidly growing global music industry. Luckily for all the readers who’re fond of discovering some fresh and unique artists, today…

Aleph Trio – Promenade
There are hordes of immensely creative artists out there that are seeking the attention of the broader auditorium. Creative minds are continuously popping out from every possible direction by demonstrating brilliant ideas realized through tremendous musicianship. The best part about this phenomenon is that the quantity doesn’t exceed quality, so you cannot even choose your…

Blackout Transmission – Sparse Illumination LP (Etxe Records)
There’s something about particular bands that works out best for me during the rainy days. Their music doesn’t need to contain melancholic vibes. Quite the contrary, heavy dosages of reverb, delay, and echo effects over profoundly melodic music are more than enough to keep me moving. Blackout Transmission is one of those bands you’ll instantly…

Послесвечение – До Лучших Времён
Nothing matches the late-night atmosphere caused by an obsessive continuous listening to post-punk music. Somehow this particular genre works for me during the night when I need to calm down and relax from a daily grind. There’s something in calm, cold, bleak, depressive, melancholic melodies that draws my attention and brings me back to this…

Sun Smash Palace – Sun Smash Palace
Sun Smash Palace is one of those bands with an interesting background story. The group comprises musicians from Germany, Brazil, Canada, and South Korea, who altogether lived in Seoul, South Korea, at the time. The passion for music gathered these individuals who also shared a similar interest in music. Each one of them played in…

Mark Schwaber – Everything Around Me LP (Jack London Records)
Mark Schwaber is back with another tremendous full-length material. For those who somehow missed this highly experienced musician, Schwaber is widely known for his studio works with some renowned names such as Lloyd Cole, Shadows Fall, Lou Barlow (Sebadoh, Dinosaur Jr), Fred Maher (Lou Reed), Joan Wasser (Joan as Policewoman), Matthew Sweet, and Mary Lou…
