A while ago, Abrasive Trees sent all three current extended plays for review, so after writing articles about Now You Are Not Here EP and Without Light EP, now it’s time to talk about the Bound For An Infinite Sea EP. It is his debut material released at the very end of the last year,… Read More Abrasive Trees – Bound For An Infinite Sea CD (Expanded)
Today we have a recent release by one of the most prolific Austrian record labels, Noise Appeal Records. This one recently arrived at our headquarters, and I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised by the sound of this group. I wasn’t familiar with Lehnen until now, but all I can say is that… Read More Lehnen – Negative Space CD (Noise Appeal Records)
After writing a couple of lines for the latest piece of artistry by Abrasive Trees, I checked out the previous recordings. I was blown away by the number of ideas invested in each one of them. Therefore, I decided that this brilliant English post-punk act needs more exposure. Without Light is the second extended play… Read More Abrasive Trees – Without Light EP (Shapta)
I have to admit that the sheer amount of brilliant new groups blows my mind regularly. No matter which genre we’re talking about, you can always find out something to keep you entertained for a while, and most of these brand new groups sound surprisingly good. /A\ is one of those bands that blew me… Read More /A\ – /A\ LP (Hummus Records)

Like on his previous… Read More Abrasive Trees – Now You Are Not Here CD
There’s no better way to start working week than starting with some good music. For some reason, it works like a charm for my working routine and keeps me motivated during the entire week. I decided to start this Monday with a tremendous recording, published a couple of years ago by Schoolkids Records. For those… Read More Happy Abandon – Facepaint LP (Schoolkids 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… Read More Embassy 516 – Surveillance Of The Environment CD (Geenger Records)
Today, we have another exceptional group on our pages.

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… Read More Amir – Rise, From The Depths, Of A Preliminary State of Youth: A Change Within One In Worlds
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… Read More Blackout Transmission – Sparse Illumination LP (Etxe 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… Read More Mark Schwaber – Everything Around Me LP (Jack London 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.… Read More V/A – Grazil Records & Friends Vol. 1. (Grazil Records)
