Grimény are a progressive/post-rock power trio from Germany who play a tight, heavy, not-so-metally form of post-rock. Dense, deep, mellow, and rather good listening.

Grimény – Die Große Enttäuschung
Month: November 2024
Imagine a gorgeous trumpet and piano sound immersed inside of electronic blips and beeps. It’s eerie, sounding something like a film-noir film soundtrack as performed by improvisational or experimental musicians (think Jon Hassell or Toshinori Kondo). That is what you have with this collaboration by Hybrid Rain and Liquid Paper. Our friends at Mahorka Records continue to hit the mark.
Deficit is a project of Vyacheslav Ismagilov, an author of electronic experimental music from Tashkent, Uzbekistan, so says his Bandcamp site. The drones are rather gentle for noise music and made for a fascinating listening experience. This is one you want to use your headphones for.
His collaborator, Marcelo Diaz, who plays synths, is a new name for me as well. His contributions are equally impressive.
Mid-terms are almost over, so I should be posting again regularly starting Tuesday. For now, I wanted to send over something to enjoy. From the East East website:
“This film, directed by Ricardo Lua and first released in 1985, exemplifies a non-hierarchical, ecological, and playful approach to music developed by Hermeto Pascoal—one of the most prominent multi-instrumentalists, composers, and experimenters in the Brazilian pop-music scene.”

Housekeeping Note
I will be away for a few days thanks to having a very busy mid-term schedule at the school. Nothing to worry about, health is good, but the kids need a good prepping before exams start. See you quite soon.

Dean & Britta & Sonic Boom – A Peace of Us
Dean Wareham is someone who could be called Shoegaze royalty. He has been partnering with Britta Phillips for some time now making some fine records, but this is a different, even more interesting beast. The Spacemen 3 centerpiece Sonic Boom collaborates with Dean & Britta for an album which combines authentic 60’s psychedelia with a cold-wave sound reminiscent of very early New Order.
