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…

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…

V/A – Grazil Records & Friends Vol. 1. (Grazil Records)
Back in the pre-digital era, various artists’ compilations and samplers acted as the crucial source for discovering fresh music. It was a convenient way to promote the latest singles, announce albums or introduce brand new artists/bands to the broader auditorium. Then the digital era commenced, and digital singles replaced regular 7″ records, compilations, and samplers.…

Phal:Angst – Phase IV DLP (Bloodshed666 Records)
This gem recently came to our headquarters. I was not familiar with this group until Bloodshed666 Records pointed me out to their music. What’s undoubtfully special about this band is how they combine several genres to achieve a certain ambiance. Phal:Angst sounds like nothing you’ve heard before, mainly because of their experimentations that you would…

Emphasis – Gliding Over All CD (Geenger Records)
The best thing about throwing back in time, when it comes to music, is the fact that a lot of recordings are worth checking out once again. There are literally piles of good music out there ready to be discovered, and perhaps some of them haven’t received well-deserved attention by the broader auditorium at the…

At The Grove – …And All The Fear We Left Behind
It’s been a while since I included a post-rock artist on these pages. Fortunately enough, I have a chance to introduce At The Grove, a tremendous outlet emanating from Münster, Germany. This project is solely operated by Dennis Abstiens, an experienced multi-instrumental artist who mainly focuses on the rhythm section. Being a drummer himself, Dennis…

Arda & The Stolen Moon – Outsider In Perpetual Motion
There are tons of brilliant indie rock artists and bands out there, doing the best they can to shine bright in the spotlight. The vast majority of these artists and bands are surprisingly good, defying the separation between quality and quantity. However, most of these outlets are sounding nearly identical, without striving to deliver something…

Daisy Vision – Terrascope
I listened to loads of outstanding artists since I started writing about music sixteen years ago, but I rarely stumbled upon artists like this. Daisy Vision is unquestionably one of a kind in the vast sea of musicians, who pops out from the crowd with unique ideas and an uncharacteristic approach to music. Daisy Vision…

Broken Links are making a proper comeback with their highly anticipated brand new material. For those who somehow missed this interesting band, Broken Links are an English trio based in Southampton, which fuses various elements to achieve the desired sound. Since their formation, the trio released an impressive amount of recordings such as Resisting Movement…
