This delicious Williamson album has been sitting on my drafts for so long… Hopefully I hit publish before we all blew up and you’ll be able to enjoy every detail of this specially crafted music.
I became aware of cute and naive music through El Zoológico‘s release and became an instant fan of petite&jolie netlabel. Missing monsters by Risch is another great album with nice synth melodies and a bit of glitchy beats. Happy, compelling and well crafted work, quite enjoyable. Also, it has an amazing artwork, right in the mood of the album. Excellent.
I first heard about this album through hiddenplacemusic, via twitter. It is a nifty little double album of poptronica. Since I’ve been listening it for a bunch of months, I can enumerate my favorite songs by now. Monkey is an uptempo glitch dancing tune, quick, but intense. The Brother Bear tells up another story, leading your mind elsewhere with warm textures and whispering vocals. And finally, the Jellyfish, another uptempo beat with a cool chorus.
This album was featured in many blogs and reviewed some times, so I’m not showing you something entirely new. However, it fits so well with ccnelas’ first compilation, The Pluteus Trip, that I decided to post it. Go on and get it right away! You can also check out his latest release at Fresh Poulp Records named Multiple.
Sometimes I feel like listening to music I already know. The satisfaction of predicting each song’s fate is powerful. Different, but equally enjoyable, is the taste of new music. It defies our brain processing capabilities, until it solves the patterns. The music then, becomes known. Sometimes, however, it is not easy to process the music, it might have unusual combinations, or too many elements which force ourselves to run over a few (or a lot) of details. There lies the joy. Hovering for the details, not random, but unexpected. Unexpected and yet, beautiful.
Intensive Care is a colorful band with some colorful tunes. Their last release, an EP called All The People Hear With Me, has 2 nicely laid songs with some quite original arrangements. You might listen to Sirenhorses to understand what I mean. I really liked the vocal melodies and how the song develops, grows and fades.
Below you can read what Intensive Care is… Enjoy!
Intensive Care is not that room in hospitals where patients are treated Intensive Care is not a handy lotion for dry skins and occasional fantasies Intensive Care is not a famous British pop sensation’s album name Intensive Care is not a parking space for oversized hummers Intensive Care is not made of wood, or plastic Intensive Care is not an alcoholic beverage Intensive Care is from Montreal Intensive Care is a rock band.
Ektoplazm, a fully featured psy trance site and netlabel, released in March’08 Jikkenteki‘s second album, Flights Of Infinity. The album is a dense trip into psy featuring long tracks with that crescendo feeling leading the way. Nice dark listening for late hours!
This release has a unique combination of industrial, dark, gothic, rock and electronica that could please even open-minded soft-music adepts. The music is intense and vocals are very expressive, creating a complex atmosphere based on distorted guitars and synths. Looking at their Last.fm scrobbles and internet archive downloads they seem to be quite popular nowadays! Worth listening!
They have been sitting on my drafts since Jan 16th, so my apologies for taking so long to post.
Vate’s new album (Volt) came out harder and darker into the electro music. These experimental tunes create a thick robotic atmosphere. Two albums from Vate I also like a lot are Volk and Cachonda. You can find out more at www.vate.com.mx!!!
