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… Read More Послесвечение – До Лучших Времён
What if you could reimagine your childhood dream and stories into a form of an audiobook and preserve them from possible oblivion. The majority of people are rapidly losing memories of their dreams after waking up, so being able to remember all of your dreams a couple of decades later can be counted as quite… Read More Alberto Rizzo Schettino – Future In The Past
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… Read More Phal:Angst – Phase IV DLP (Bloodshed666 Records)
There’s something about shoegaze and dream pop music that keeps me entertained for countless hours. Sometimes I could go throughout the entire weekend by listening to these particular genres and clearing my head of the mess caused during the working week. I was fortunate enough to stumble upon Slowness, a tremendous band from San Francisco,… Read More Slowness – Berths LP (Schoolkids Records)
Here’s another treat for all the admirers of experimental music. Vinylized represents a special edition curated by 4mg Records, a non-profit label that releases underground electronic music on vinyl and cassettes. Today, I will talk about the sixth edition that gathers names such as Ján Boleslav Kladivo, Troi Boglesseoure, Imiafan, Richard Imrich, Royal Hungarian Noisemakers,… Read More VA – Vinylized Vol.6 LP (4mg Records)
Here’s another dosage of Hungarian avant-garde experimentations, but this time it comes with a twist. Fixateur Externe are not strangers to these pages, and previously I had a chance to review a couple of their recordings. This material could easily pass as various artist compilation, mainly because this release represents a collection of remixes. Disco… Read More Fixateur Externe – Disco Satan USB (Unsigned)
At first, I thought this was a split cassette release, but after a while, I realized it is a live collaboration between Abattoir and Satori. This material is not their first collaboration, and previously they released the album version of Megaloschemos and another collaborative cassette named Aether. Abattoir is a side project of Lorenzo Abattoir,… Read More Abattoir & Satori – Megaloschemos Live CS (Unsigned)
Here’s another interesting experimental release, which is also one of the latest published by the Unsigned, an avant-garde music label from Budapest, Hungary. Just as the vast portion of their previous releases, Unsigned follow some principles by releasing music on cassettes or compact discs. This time, I am dealing with a split cassette release between… Read More Púder & Pormeister Trió / Triste Ensemble / Noisesculptor – Unsigned 3-Way Split Series Volume I (Unsigned)
This material is probably the latest release by Shanyio, which came out a couple of months ago. Following his previous material Of The Waters / A Apelor, which I covered on these pages before, Palimpsest represents another dosage of acoustic ambient/drone by this Romanian avant-garde artist. However, this time he’s teamed up with Robert Nedelcu,… Read More Robert & Shanyio – Palimpsest CD
Shanyio came a long way from experimental artist to prolific avant-garde composer/multiinstrumentalist. Perhaps this Romanian artist seem like a prolific musician who releases his recordings on a nearly monthly basis, but Shanyio calculates and simultaneously works on several projects at the time. Therefore, it may appear like his albums and collaborations are popping from every… Read More Shanyio – Of The Waters / A Apelor CS
Here’s another experimental release worth mentioning that would be such a treat for those who’re not looking out for any particular subgenre of avant-garde music. 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… Read More Rovar17 & The Three-Brained Robot – Split CS (Alien Seduction)
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… Read More OLO – Sombre CD (Various Labels)
