Ooops, this time with links...

New stuff:

Six Organs of Admittance – Hexadic. Never quite got the buzz around SOOA. He seems often to be on the verge of something good, but never quite nails it. His new album is just as frustrating on first listen, but may grow on me…

Axis: Sova – Early Surf. Attractively ramshackle Chrome/Stooges/Suicide stuff which doesn’t really rise above its influences, but features a few cool tracks, such as: https://soundcloud.com/sovaloha/fractal-ancestry

White Noise Sound – Like a Pyramid of Fire. Both name and title are so utterly generic, I thought this might be a novelty record. But no… This is the epitome of that ‘modern’ psych/kraut sound which seems to mindlessly channel Spacemen 3 and Neu! with a dash of ‘electronica’ thrown in to prove how 21st century they are. You could pipe this stuff into Tesco and nobody would notice.

Etienne Jaumet – La Visite. One of the blokes from Zombie Zombie. Soundtracky retro techno, OK, but nothing to get too excited about.

Disappears – Irreal. Definitely worth a listen if you fancy a bit of post-punk gloom.

Unfiled pile:

School of Language – Old Fears. Yeah, I am officially Really Quite Disappointed with this. Spindly art funk which just seems a bit directionless, certainly in comparison with most other Field Music related stuff.

Motorpsycho – Behind The Sun. Excellent cosmic/prog rock with a distinct Neil Young influence this time round. That a band this old keeps producing such consistently great albums is really quite something: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8bQcfi-Dww

Hedvig Mollestad Trio – All Them Witches. Wow, this sounded even better than I remembered. Basically, Jazz Sabbath. Seeing them live a few months ago has brought home to me just how good they are. If you’re into heavy, non-knuckle scraping stuff, I urge you to check ‘em out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1Nwo4RqndA

Elsewhere…

Debris – Static Disposal. If you’re like me, you probably have quite a few albums on your hard drive downloaded years ago, but never actually played. This is one such album. Wasn’t expecting much (mostly unreleased demo recordings I think), but a lot of this was pretty great in an avant garage way. Starts off like Rocket From The Tombs (they may possibly be from that scene), but after a while start weirdly to sound like early Roxy Music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpqRrbb8cBY

Alice Cooper – Greatest Hits. Woke up one morning with a strong if slightly inexplicable desire to listen to this. It’s the only AC I’ve got, and it is largely fab. I really should check out the albums, starting with Billion Dollar Babies…?

Pye Corner Audio/Not Waving – Intercepts

Pye Corner Audio – ‘The Black Mist’ single

Sinoia Caves – Beyond the Black Rainbow OST

Paus – É Uma Água EP
