BLACK CARROT – Drink The Black Forest

Μέρος του "νέου κύματος" του βρετανικού avant/jazz/kraut-rock και νέο μέλος του roster της ενερχόμενης Tin Angel (Polar Bear, Devon Sproul), οι Black Carrot κυκλοφορούν το πρώτο τους άλμπουμ. Το δυναμικό βρετανικό κουιντέτο ακούγεται επιθετικό σαν τους Van Der Graaf Generator, πρωτοποριακό συνθετικά όπως οι Pere Ubu και γήινο και αισθησιακό σαν τους Can. Το "Drink the Black Forest" ακροβατεί ανάμεσα στον αυτοσχεδιασμό και την οργανωμένη σύνθεση με μιά ψυχωτική μανία στην ερμηνεία του Stewart Brackley που το περιοδικό Wire χαρακτήρισε "βασισμένη εξ ολοκλήρου στον τρόπο του Damo Suzuki". "An adventurous improvising group" (Wire).

GROUPER / INCA ORE - Split

Ο ήχος που παράγει τόσο η Liz Harris όσο και η Eva Saelens, στις "σπιτικές' τους ηχογραφήσεις, σαν Grouper και Inca Ore αντίστοιχα, είναι ιδιαίτερος, ασυνήθιστος και βαθιά γοητευτικός. Μία θρυλική underground κασέτα, στην οποία μοιράζονταν από είκοσι λεπτά αναλογικού pop θορύβου η καθεμιά τους, επανεκδίδεται τώρα, για πρώτη φορά επίσημα σε CD, αποδίδοντας σε ένα, ολοένα διευρυνόμενο κοινό για τέτοιας φιλοσοφίας ακούσματα, μία στην ουσία ανέκδοτη δουλειά. Στρώματα από λούπες, φωνητικές συνθέσεις και tape hiss σε, ορισμένες στιγμές, απερίγραπτης ομορφιάς pop σκηνικά από δύο δημιουργικά μυαλά του αμερικάνικου diy underground.

MORIS TEPPER– Stingray In The Heart

Ο Morris Tepper είναι, λέει η LA Weekly, κυρίαρχος του δικού του σύμπαντος, όπως ο Captain Beefheart, o Tom Waits, o Frank Black και ο Robyn Hitchcock, με τους οποίους έχει άλλωστε συνεργαστεί σαν κιθαρίστας. Το καινούριο του προσωπικό άλμπουμ έρχεται αμέσως μετά από μία παγκόσμια περιοδεία σαν support της PJ Harvey -αποκαλυπτική εμπειρία για τους τυχερούς που είδαν τη μπάντα του - και πιστοποιεί την ιδιαίτερη περίπτωση του σπουδαίου κιθαρίστα και ως δημιουργού και ηγέτη μιας μπάντας, μέσα από ένα ζεστό avant rock άλμπουμ, ανεξάντλητο σε ιδέες και προσωπικό στην έκφραση, με τη σφραγίδα του παρελθόντος του Tepper και μια ισχυρή νύξη προς το μέλλον. "Moris Tepper's new solo album is a work of art" (The Word).
