JULIA HOLTER – YOU & ME BOTH (ARTHUR RUSSELL COVER)

Thursday, January 17th, 2013

So I was browsing through my social network feeds when I noticed a little title saying “Julia Holter – You & Me Both”, and I was like WHOA is this what I think it is?! Indeed, it was a Julia Holter cover of one of Arthur Russell‘s many brilliant songs. It also happens to be a live recording with a lot of background noises, but really, who cares? Although musically very different from the original, Holter’s expectedly gorgeous reinterpretation captures the vibe of Russell’s songs quite well. The track is featured on the collaborative compilation between Stones Throw and Leaving Records, due out nex tweek.

CIRCUIT DES YEUX – LITHONIA

Monday, January 14th, 2013

A few months ago Circuit des Yeux announced her new release, a 10″ mini-album called CDY3, stating only that it would come out sometime in the winter. The winter is finally here, and so is CDY3, as promised, along with a stream of another new track. Showcasing Fohr’s powerful vocals, the eerily gorgeous “Lithonia” sounds quite different from the noisy “Helen, You Bitch” we featured back in October. Get CDY3 from Magnetic South, and check out Fohr’s recent guest mix.

DEATHFACE – FROM BENEATH (BRUXA REMIX)

Thursday, January 10th, 2013

So here’s a track that brings together two of the mightiest forces in bass-oriented underground music right now. Bruxa have remixed Deathface‘s “From Beneath”, taken from last year’s excellent EP of the same name, with expectedly good results. In other related news, Deathface dropped a new video for “Six Feet Deep”, a collaboration with @LILINTERNET; and Bruxa got a remix treatment from MADDEN, whose take on ”Paper Weight”, a standout track from Bruxa’s album Victimeyez, is streaming below.

V/A – ELECTRIC VOICE II

Tuesday, December 11th, 2012

Canada’s Electric Voice Records announced a follow-up to last year’s killer Electric Voice compilation. The songs on Electric Voice II span over more than three decades of minimal synth and industrial music, with contributions ranging from classics such as Genesis P-Orridge (Thee Majesty), Martin Dupont and Ike Yard, through forgotten gems like Nine Circles, all the way to contemporary darkwave favorites such as Tropic of Cancer, Frank (Just Frank) and Martial Canterel. The album artwork for Electric Voice II, set to drop in April 2013, was made by none other than Juan Mendez. Here are Tropic of Cancer, Martial Canterel, and Nine Circles contributions. [via]

For more info on the compilation, including an interview with Genesis P-Orridge, head over to the Electric Voice website.

SLOW HEAD – VANITY

Tuesday, December 4th, 2012

Last month, the electronic producer Slow Head announced his new full-length with a free release of the single ‘White Meteors’, available on Bandcamp. The album has been pushed back a bit, but that only gave Slow Head time to drop another track from the forthcoming LP; the excellent ‘Vanity’ which you can snatch below. The follow-up to this year’s Fire Is the Mouth of a Snake is titled Wraith Couture, and is due out this winter on Disaro Records.

NOWA HUTA – HOLLA E17 I’M RAIN EP

Thursday, November 29th, 2012

After dropping two excellent EPs last year, the London-based production unit Nowa Huta kept quiet for most of 2012, so it was a really nice surprise to learn they released a new EP just the other day. Along with four original works, it features an Aeirs TV remix of ‘Beautiful Dreamer’, a tune Nowa Huta originally posted a few months ago. Speaking of which, the producer Joss Carter, who records under the Aeirs TV moniker, also dropped a new EP recently – you can check it out here. Peep Nowa Huta’s two dreamy garage gems below, and listen to the whole holla_e17_i’m_rain set on their Soundcloud.

MERE MORTALS – THE PULPIT

Thursday, November 15th, 2012

Having been long-time fans of Digital Leather project, we were quite excited to learn about Shawn Foree’s new project, Mere Mortals. The duo of Shawn and Rachel have been working on the album over the last few months in their living room, and decided to put it on Bandcamp while still looking for a label. Their sound is closer to the older, synth-heavy Digital Leather stuff than to his recent garagey efforts, which is perfectly fine by us. Stream half of Purple Fire, and buy it to hear the rest here.

CONCL?VE – BLESS (?AIMON REMIX)

Tuesday, November 13th, 2012

This ?AIMON remix of ’Bless’, a song by the mysterious act CONCL?VE, has been on heavy rotation since it dropped last week, so I guess it was about time I finally posted it on the blog. (Plus, we haven’t posted anything with triangles in a while.) CONCL?VE’s free BLESS: REMIXES 70ml EP features reworks by a bunch of webdings enthusiasts, and ?AIMON’s creepy remix seems to take the song the furthest away from the original. It also easily stands out as the best one. Get it:

TELEPATHE – DESTROYER (KOOL THING REMIX)

Monday, November 12th, 2012

Your run-of-the-mill musician would probably be all like ‘OMG! Bring it!’ to have Trent Reznor remix their song, but Telepathe were more like – Meh, let’s see what our friends do with it. And hell, our fans should remix it as well, ya know? *Via their forthcoming Destroyer app.* NO ONE gets out of it. Not even those wretched souls who don’t have iPhones. So you really gotta give it to Kool Thing for delivering amazingly well under all the pressure, doing that epic build-up they do so well – so much so you just want it to go on and on and are almost disappointed when it ends just short of six minutes. Killer! Also, this is the last time we’re writing about ‘Destroyer’, I promise.

DROP DEAD FESTIVAL 2012

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2012

This year, Drop Dead Festival is celebrating its tenth anniversary. Now settled in Berlin, the festival takes place at Neukölln’s Cube club from October 31st to November 4th. A number of different showcases and performances will be held on several floors over those five days, featuring all kinds of obscure sounds, from post-punk and minimal wave to “witch-hop”, “ghoststep” and whatnot. The line-up includes some of our contemporary underground favorites such as Dandi Wind, Pictureplane, Butterclock and Bestial Mouths, as well some cult acts, like Kas Product, Sad Lovers and Giants, and others. What we are probably looking forward to the most are the two Black Black Gold-related specials: PURGE’s BloodRave Halloween party with Deathface and Crim3s, plus the BBG showcase featuring a live show by Pictureplane and a special performance by Butterclock. For full line-up and more info, visit the festival website.
Hope to see you there! We will be the people not wearing black.

HOLLY HERNDON – FADE

Thursday, October 11th, 2012

It seems that everyone who had a chance to hear Holly Herndon‘s first full-length is losing their shit over it. Us mere mortals, who have only heard some old cuts and live recordings via her Soundcloud, well, we are starting to get really excited about this just now that RVNG Intl. dropped one of the songs from the upcoming record. On ‘Fade’, Herndon displays her interesting take on techno, channeling a bit of Laurie Anderson. Movement is out next month, pre-order it here.

CIRCUIT DES YEUX – HELEN, YOU BITCH

Thursday, October 11th, 2012

So I’ve had this almost-nine-minutes-long experimental track on repeat for the past few days, and I don’t think there’s anything weird about that. ‘Helen, You Bitch’ is one of the three songs featured on Circuit des Yeux‘s new 10″ CDY3, due out this winter on Magnetic South. Originally a solo project for Haley Fohr, the forthcoming Circuit des Yeux release finds Fohr joined by a full band. Fortunately, that only means more clamor; this is probably one of the best pieces of noise I’ve heard in a while.
