Stinking Lizaveta 2007-03-13 17:40:00 After three album releases and 10 years of touring around the country blitzing audiences with their famously dynamic live shows, Philadelphia instrumental power trio Stinking
Lizaveta (named after a Dostoevsky character) has become an institution of sorts in the US underground music scene. Their eclectic style of music incorporates post-rock, metal, sludge, prog', stoner and doom with jazz
Puny Human 2007-03-15 18:31:00 When I reviewed Puny Human's previous LP, Revenge Is Easy, I made mention of the fact that the band had a certain level of experimental-ness that might be interesting to hear them expand upon on later albums. On It's Not The Heat, It's The Humanity, though, that ain't happening. Puny Human has pretty much jettisoned the samples and little touches of weirdness that permeated Revenge and instead
Dominic Rouse 2007-03-17 08:11:00 Life can be likened to a movie that is shown only once to a captive audience of one, a darkened room in which the level of illumination is decided by the occupant.
But even the widest prairies have electric fences and beyond the wires leads me to blunder up against the wires whose muscle-shredding violence knows no mercy.
The perfect prison is the one in which the inmates have been convinced Read more:Dominic
Baikal 2007-03-17 08:10:00 Baikal is a new burner from Bardo Pond brothers John & Michael Gibbons along with fellow Bardo Pond members Clint Takeda and Jason Kourkonis. This time they ventured down the route of heavy free-improvisation and a Last Exit style hard rock approach coupled with a hard psych bend. With two tracks each weighing in at over 30 minutes in length it's clear that Baikal is a deep voyage underseas with
Cocorosie 2007-03-17 08:09:00 The Adventures Of Ghosthorse and Stillborn, the third ventricle of the CocoRosie liturgy, represents another stride onward from their previous works. After completing demos in the south of France, CocoRosie went to Reykjavik to collaborate with producer Valgeir Sigurosson, most widely known as Bjork's main studio conspirator. On Adventures the girls continue to experiment with their disparate

The Machine
has it's central point in the city of Rotterdam, The Netherlands. As a traditional threepiece (drums, bass, guitar/vocals) the band brings their version of hard and heavy rock with heavy riffs and psychedelic interludes. Definitely fitting in with the nowadays stoner rock movement, the band plays their own style of heavy psych rock.

Armando (It's All Gouda, Chapter.11) 2008-03-22 04:36:00 <!-- the drop cap -->
Armando (1929 Amsterdam), who was born as Herman Dirk van Dodeweerd, spent his early youth near Amersfoort where the German occupiers first erected a transit camp in 1938 and later the concentration camp Amersfoort. These experiences influence his work considerably. Brutality, guilt, forgetting, life and death are the main subjects in his works. The artist studied art Read more:Chapter
Machinefabriek (It's All Gouda, Chapter.10) 2008-03-22 04:07:00 <!-- the drop cap -->
Machinefabriek means 'machine factory'. You might expect a name like that for some EinstŸrzende Neubauten-like industrial act, but here that's not the case. Okay, at some times Machinefabriek's music might sound harsch and abrassive, but industrial, no. My music is more about combining distorted, raw sounds with subtle melodies and stillness.

Left Lane Cruiser 2008-03-31 09:57:00 When I laid out the records I wanted to review this week, I originally had Kate Maki's lovely new long player (On High) slotted in for some hump day enjoyment. That all changed when a nice little mailer box with the Alive records logo stamped in the top left hand side was waiting for me in the ole postbox on Monday.
Alive records, quite simply, brings it. Their stable of artists is top shelf and

Here is something quite rare, an Irish doom metal bands who's music harkens back to the days when such giants as My Dying Bride and Anathema walked their first steps upon the earth, and British doom metal ruled the planet.
In the early 90's it felt as if My Dying Bride couldn't put their foot wrong, but to me nothing they made after the eternal Symphonaire Infernus et Spera Read more:Graveyard

Ornette Coleman 2008-04-23 09:09:00 <!-- the drop cap -->
In the beginning of free jazz, there was Ornette Coleman
. Actually, the alto saxophonist was the beginning of free jazz. His 1959 Atlantic recording The Shape of Jazz to Come followed on the heels of a couple of innovative smaller label outings that didn't make a splash at the time. Many musicians have followed Coleman down the path of freedom, but none have equaled him.
Long Distance Calling 2008-04-25 09:12:00 <!-- the drop cap -->
Nothing that makes this world a better place lasts for only three minutes. Nothing of relevance embraces you and abruptedly leaves afterwards. Music does not need to be divided into five minute long chapters, verse-chorus-verse. Music needs room not rules, it needs freedom not boundaries - Long Distance Calling
make sure to do exactly that.

I n 2004, the Texan psych-folk group Charalambides released Joy Shapes, a haunted, captivating album that will likely come to be considered their masterpiece. Since then, the group's two primary members, Tom and Christina Carter, have moved to opposite ends of the country and largely gone their separate musical ways, though they've both remained as prolific as ever. Each has

In 1996, following the final Screaming Trees album, Dust, bassist Van Conner formed a loud, spaced-out, psychedelic metal band called Valis, with himself on lead vocals and guitar. When it became clear that the Trees' hiatus was likely to become permanent, Conner focused his attention on his onetime side project, which took its name from a Philip K. Dick novel. The remainder

While there are plenty of artists whose appeal and approach are instantly recognizable and quickly absorbed, there are still bands, albums, and catalogs that just take more time. Their value only reveals itself with patience: the hooks are obtuse, the choruses demure, and the memorable details deep in the strata of the mix, only discerned with headphones on the fifth or

El Buzzard is no more, the crushing California quartet was on of the best in fusing The Melvins, Black Flag, and Black Sabbath into a awesome soup of noisy, metallic, stoner, space rock. And it’s a shame they quit.

This group not only has a name that tickles imagination, their music also has all the necessary elements that make even a more free-formed acoustic music work, 100 %.
