'No Fun Demo' CD
Previously know for his electronic work with Miami's Schematic label and his experimental records on his own and with others (Old Bombs, Fukktron,etc) this time Dino stares right at the ghost of his MTV dreams childhood years and comes out of it with the most beautiful record of well put together songs you'll hear this year. A full instrumented record of pop rock, ballads, psychedelia, no-wave, rock noise and total mutations injected with Dino's own unique approach. This is the pop music of the present, and a recording shooting to change the future.
Since their first release for No Fun Productions, the collection of early LP's/singles entitled 'Remains', the Religious Knives have grown into a stunningly assured and powerful rock n' roll band of sorts, one liberally and noticeably immersed in the smoke-addled haze of the psychedelic underground. Resin marches ahead with a vigorous potency that accurately shares its bloodline with the best psychedelic acts of the past. This is Brooklyn's true Psychedelic Rock.
'Nothing Makes Any Sense' CD
A constantly shifting and engaging long-form piece of developed drone, foreboding melody, and harsh grit, Nothing Makes Any Sense finds Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth), Nels Cline (Nels Cline Singers, Wilco), and Alan Licht pushing their guitars into a cacophonous state that bears much influence from the post-jazz fields they've all cut their teeth in, but also bearing down a forceful brutality that has sometimes eluded their past material. While Carlos Giffoni uses his analog Synth mastery to adequately contend and mesh seamlessly with the trio of strings, letting his analog noise pulsate and pierce with its own sense of contained stampede.
A tale of lost love and desperation, this is Prurient's full length follow up to the acclaimed Pleasure Ground. And Still,Wanting takes the recent new direction of combining layered synth's and electronic loops with his usual poignant vocals to a whole new level of intensity. A new chapter in obsession with all that is mundane in our human life. This special 1000 copies first edition of the CD comes with a Bonus 5" vinyl titled 'Shield' with tracks that won't be available anywhere else + 12 page full color booklet and lyrics printed inside the gatefold package.
Sensitive/Lethal is Thurston Moore in deep basement cosmosis. Investigations into acoustic guitar as noise instrument as well as noise/amp discussion for a hopeful and bright blackness. Childhood dreams of noise essayed with photos of unsuspecting innocents running from noise weirdo (front cover) and texas blues albino drug zap (johnny winter – still alive and well detail – back cover). This is the story told in drone meditation and sweet slice.
Consisting of Nate Young (of Wolf Eyes) and Steve Kenney, Demons explore near-epileptic and droning analog synth textures that elicit comfortable remembrances of electronic forefathers like Stockhausen and Cluster whilst simultaneously bludgeoning forward with the grating and scraping atonal complexities of Whitehouse and Throbbing Gristle. Having already rallied a fervorous flux of supporters with discomforting psychedelic multi-media performances and a slew of cryptic releases, Evocation is an appropriately elaborate and accomplished approximation of their shrewd identity and is their first full length CD release, with artwork by visual collaborator Alivia Zivich.
At this year's No Fun Fest, the legendary Japanese noise king Merzbow (Masami Akita) gave a blistering performance that stunningly brought together both his classic analog and recently-explored digital concerns. Keeping pace between two laptops and an amplified sheet-metal instrument, the walls of computerized droning distortion and psyched-out metallic scarping easily reminded those attending to the world of noise that even icons with twenty-plus year careers under their belts can still vivaciously channel the advancements they helped build as well as compose stunning untried sounds.Merzbow's set no doubt left longtime followers thoroughly fulfilled while those who've only heard the name thrown around in mythical regard were bound to have been left with a hearty appreciation of his genius.
