jhusel · Los Saicos – Fugitivo de Alcatraz I’d like to point you, dear readers, to a magnificent blog called The Listening Post. Each post includes a new song of the day, and this one is a treasure out of Peru from what many fans call the first proto-punk band, Continue Reading
Aidan Baker – Lost in the Rat Maze [PWYC]
![Aidan Baker – Lost in the Rat Maze [PWYC]](https://musicyouneedtohear.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/a0749084838_16.jpg)
Imagine if you were listening to Neu! with a far more relaxed beat rather than the insistent and incessant pulse the legendary Krautrock band was famous for. Hear me out on this. It’s actually quite a magnificent sound to behold, really. There is a lo-fi, drony vibe to Fanciful Flights Continue Reading
Bolduchin – Shellac
It’s impressive to hear when those who work outside of music under normal circumstances bring their talents into music, especially of a dark ambient variety. Giacomo Triglia, who works under the name Bolduchin, provides a bleak, yet very lively soundtracks to the horrible dreams we all have now and then. Continue Reading
JARS (ДЖРС) – III
In parts sounding like the demos of an early Killing Joke album drifting almost into doom and death-metal territory, JARS (ДЖРС) are atypical for what people thing of as stoner rock. They are comfortable playing in different styles, and their raw sound actually benefits the music tremendously. Brutal music, but Continue Reading
Ghost Rhythms – Imaginary Mountains
The French band Ghost Rhythms live up to their name. The beats are pretty wild on this one. This release sets between avant-progressive, Canterbury, and some of the freakier excursions of late-period King Crimson. Perhaps Samla Mammas Manna and their side-projects could also make good reference points. Very engaging listening, Continue Reading
Lorelle Meets The Obsolete – De Facto
I would never have come across Lorelle Meets The Obsolete, a Guadalajara, Mexico-based band without the help of my new friend, Ali, whose taste in music is absolutely impeccable. There is something wonderfully retro about the band, who reference a lot of bands like the Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine, Continue Reading
Santiago Fradejas – Montages, Volume One
Santiago Fradejas is an experimental musician based currently in Spain, though he hails from Argentina. He is also a friend whose work I have been honored to champion for several years now, along with the work of his wife, A.M Ferrari Fradejas. In this release, the two pair up with Continue Reading
Tunnelmental – State and Remixes EP
A good remix album should have the same song remixed by several pros and not sound a thing like the original. I think Nigel & Derek of Tunnelmental have pulled it off in this three-track album. The original track is a bouncy raver with the sampled refrain, “Life is a Continue Reading
κτίρια τη νύχτα – ΣΧΕΔΙΟ ΠΟΛΗΣ
κτίρια τη νύχτα (Buildings At Night) release an album of mostly instrumental music, though vocals peek through now and then, complementing the shower of guitars that mixes shoegazer, lo-fi, and, believe it or not, a touch of the 4AD Records sound. It’s a subdued, dark album, maybe not something I Continue Reading
Jeff Gburek/Akashic Records – Twin Oscillators ((An Electro-Isolation Suite for 2020))
At its heart, Jeff Gburek’s latest release on Bandcamp, Twin Oscillators, presents itself as astoundingly good experimental music. I had the pleasure of writing about his works (13 mentions, the most, I believe, of any artist whose work I checked out) at my now-defunct blog, A Miscellany of Tasteful Music. Continue Reading
