    Viktor Timofeev: "GiveHealth 999" music review

    Visual artist/musician Viktor Timofeev traffics in expanses of layered drones, and looped riffage, of atmospheres and ambience, but active ambience, with sounds blurred and tangled, rhythmic without actual rhythms.

    Bollywood Steel Guitar

    Just from the title alone — Bollywood Steel Guitar — we knew that this installment in the always-amazing Sublime Frequencies series of unusual and under-documented "world music" recordings was gonna be the bomb! Indeed it is. And now on vinyl!

    Zombie Rave: chopped and screwed gloom house music

    "Zombie Rave" is the first full length from weirdo witch house / ghost drag outfit First Flesh. The jams here sound less Zombie Rave, and more warped new wave chopped and screwed eighties house pop.

    Gum: weird avant-turntablism from 1987

    Anduin: "Stolen Years" music review

    A darkly spectral sound, infused with a deep melancholia, a spare, ghostly sonic landscape that manages to fuse field recordings, deep dronemusic, lumbering slowcore, downtempo electronica, and plenty of horns, into something soundtracky and sinister, brooding and ominous.

    Bong: "Live At Roadburn 2010" music review

    After enthused hails from the crowd, the first of two loooooong tracks starts up, or seeps in, eerie and airy and understated, quite lovely really, not at all heavy, but nicely hypnotic…

    Factrix: "Scheintot" music review

    Factrix originally manufactured their proto-Wolf Eyes sound in San Francisco some 30+ years ago. The history of underground music on the West Coast in the late '70s is not an easy one to trace. Unlike the punk explosion in England or New York, the influences and disturbances of the musical circuits manifested collusions of concepts that never really fit into the marketable ideas of punk or new wave.

    Psychic Teens: "Tape" music review

    While the rest of the world has been reveling in the resurgence of the cassette tape, some folks have been taking it a step further, and going full VHS! Video Horror Show is a label that only releases VHS tapes, which feature not only music, but also appropriately enough accompanying psychedelic visuals. Here is Psychic Teens with Tape.

    Gary War: "Jared's Lot" music review

    Expertly performed, extremely difficult clash between pop inclinations and punk ideals sent through a completely synthetic, inhuman aesthetic.

    Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti: "Only In My Dreams"

    "I'm just a rock n' roller from Beverly Hills / My name is Ariel… Pink!"

    Well, okay. Sing it, Ariel! Peculiar popsmith Ariel Pink and his Haunted Graffiti are back, and as absurdly delightful and infectiously catchy as ever. Hella amusingly weird too – just check out the damaged Beach Boys vibe of, uh, "Schnitzel Boogie". Oh, and of course AP couldn't resist titling a track here, "Pink Slime"!

    Music review: Common Eider, King Eider's "Sense of Place"

    Sense Of Place is an ambitious audio/visual document that captures San Francisco drone/ambient/folk band Common Eider, King Eider's quest to build a cabin in the wilds of Alaska. It's an incredible package including both a book and a dvd.

    Evan Caminiti: "Dreamless Sleep"

    Dreamless Sleep is the latest from Evan Caminiti, whose day job is as one half of twang flecked drone duo Barn Owl, and like his partner in Barn Owl, Jon Porras, Caminiti's solo records don't always deviate too much from the Barn Owl M.O., offering up variations of the duo's distinctive dusky sound.
