NO CONCLUSION

BESTIAL MOUTHS – EARTH

NOCONCLUSION — Wed, 22 May 2013 13:30:58 +0000

Following their excellent, recently released split with Deathday, Bestial Mouths have announced the details of their new album. The forthcoming full-length by this Los Angeles four piece comprised of Lynette Cerezo, Jessica Reuter, Chrisopher Myrick and Gustavo Aldana, was produced by Egyptrixx. We expect some serious gloomy harsh club music vibes, as displayed on the tense first single “Earth”. The video for this song is also in the works, watch the teaser here. The self-titled LP is due out June 25 on Clan Destine Records.

KOOL THING – TV TOWER [VIDEO]

NOCONCLUSION — Thu, 09 May 2013 18:20:52 +0000

Hi there, it’s the laziest blogger alive. And what we have here is the new video for Kool Thing‘s latest single ”TV Tower”. The track is taken from their self-titled debut LP, out now on Mad Dog & Love Records and available here. Starring the band themselves, the video is equal parts humorous, creepy, and bizarre – just the way we like it! P.S. You’ll never guess what’s in that bag:

SOFT METALS – TELL ME

NOCONCLUSION — Thu, 02 May 2013 16:27:55 +0000

Los Angeles via Portland duo Soft Metals are back with an awesome new song. Do yourself a favor and take a listen to “Tell Me”, the first single from their forthcoming sophomore album. The follow-up to their self-titled debut (one of our 2011 favorites) and last year’s interesting collection of remixes, is called Lenses, and is due out this summer on Captured Tracks. Their distinct brand of synth-pop always veers between dreamy and dancefloor-ready, and “Tell Me” is no exception. We’re excited to hear what the rest of the record brings!

HEIDI MORTENSON – DELE AF KROPPEN (MAYA POSTEPSKI REMIX) [VIDEO]

NOCONCLUSION — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 16:21:51 +0000

Watch the video for the gorgeously eerie Maya Postepski remix of Heidi Mortenson‘s “Dele Af Kroppen” (which apparently means “parts of body”). The track is taken from Mortenson’s latest release, the Mørk Remixes EP, available from her Bandcamp. Speaking of Postepski (of Austra and Trust fame), she has recently been busy with her solo project Princess Century; a new EP is coming out later this month. The video was directed by Mortenson herself, and, umm, features “Maya Postepski as a ghost”.

EXCEPTER – ALL THE PEOPLE

NOCONCLUSION — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 14:55:59 +0000

It’s been a few years since we last heard from the mighty Excepter, ie. too long. They appear to be back though, which can only be good news. Religion Records recently posted some songs from their forthcoming various artists compilation, and one of them happens to be a new track by the aforementioned experimental outfit. Stream Excepter’s “All the People” here, visit Religion Recs’ Soundcloud for a few more tunes, and look out for the aptly titled Psychic Selections v. 1 compilation, as well as more new stuff from Excepter.

BUTTERCLOCK – FIRST PROM EP

NOCONCLUSION — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 16:01:05 +0000

It seems that, while we were away, Laura Clock finally started to get the attention she deserves with her Butterclock project. Her new First Prom EP, out on FANTASY music, features five tracks that make for a perfect late night listen, or for one fucked up prom night. We’ve already had a chance to hear the lead singles, ”Holograms” and “Don’t“, and now, to mark today’s digital release, the EP has been made available for streaming in its entirety – which you can do below. Also peep Clock’s NC guest mix in case you missed it last spring.

EXPERIMENTAL ½ HOUR #36 – LITANIC MASK, TWINS, SISSY SPACEK, SPORAY

NOCONCLUSION — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 15:39:21 +0000

As some of you may have noticed, No Conclusion has been on a month+ long break, but the time has come to get back to blogging. We’re going to “pull a The Knife” on you and return with something long an experimental, because why not. And, well, because we got to premiere the latest installment of the exquisite Portland-based Experimental ½ Hour video series. This episode features Litanic Mask‘s stunning rendition of “Kabuki” (taken from their self-titled debut LP), followed by a sweet set from Sissy Spacek and a frantic performance by Twins, with some general weirdness from Sporay coming at the end of the clip. Watch it below, and check out some more sick videos over at the Experimental ½ Hour website.

TEXTBEAK – GATCHAMAN [VIDEO]

NOCONCLUSION — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 16:38:46 +0000

We’re happy to premiere the video for Textbeak‘s new single “Gatchaman”, out on Post Religion Records. Along with the original version of ”Gatchaman”, the release features remixes by Slow Head, Strange Powers (of Men in Burka), High Park and Raudive (a.k.a. Oliver Ho). It is now available digitally and in limited edition vinyl, with T-shirt and video bundles, from the Post Religion Bandcamp. The description we got with this video is just too good not to mention, and it goes something like this: “a lo-fi internet Tumblr cult video game ??? live action x 3-D goth plague doctor vibe with lots of weird ritual like stuff and toxic woodland that plays off of the original Gatchaman Japanese animation sci-fi bird-suited ninjas idea”. Game over:

RITUALZ – PISCES

NOCONCLUSION — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 18:17:55 +0000

Last spring, Ritualz released a short instrumental EP called Outworld Music I, the first in the series of EPs that find the producer exploring new experimental sounds, different than those heard on the regular Ritualz releases. Now, Outworld Music II is just around the corner: we have the first track off it right here, and the whole thing will be out next week on Ritualz Bandcamp. Volume 3 should follow soon, with the fourth and final one arriving in the summer. A proper Ritualz full-length is also in the works. Listen to “Pisces”:

LIGHT HOUSE – THE WALLS WANT COMMUNION [VIDEO]

NOCONCLUSION — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 17:27:13 +0000

So we’ve found another great new band from Portland. *Shocker*. Light House is a trio comprised of Chris Relyea, Dawn Sharp, and Brooks Blackhawk, and their blend of shoegaze atmospherics and dark synth sounds is right up our alley. The band’s latest release, In Their Image EP, comes to us via Freee, a new project from the fine folks from Ecstasy consisting of, in their own words, music, literature and whatever else they feel like putting out. Watch the video for the stand-out track “The Walls Want Communion”.
