good saints: driftwood on the fire

Leave a Comment Posted by on 19/12/2011

yet more music involving saint james toth, surely-by-god the definitive polyphiloprogenitive of 2011. and for what it’s worth, briarwood, probably my favourite record this year.  some bold, straight-faced / straight-laced kristofferson moves going on here. despite what pitchfork’d have you believe it’s been a pretty good year for fellas with guitars singing songs.

m’kay maybe this is a bit too fancy to be dismissed with a wave of fuzzbox, three chords and 4/4 beat, as mere garage. but the core is thatkindofthing. s’pose it’s coming from the same place as the amen dunes record sacred bones put out this year: spacemen 3, phil spector, 13th floor elevators, etpetercetera.

e.p. hall: mechanical hands

Leave a Comment Posted by on 12/12/2011

i like e.p. hall’s music, made with voice and guitar. i like even more that the songs end up kinda damaged when she’s done with them. i like how it’s prettiness is skewed. i like that it’s off-centeredness unbalances. i like it sometimes when wheels aren’t reinvented just spun a slightly different way. i like [...]

the lord: jesuit trifle syndrome (exotic pylon)

1 Comment Posted by on 06/12/2011

what the fuck is this? they shriek, lunging for the (virtual) volume knob. slapping hands back with fiendish precision, i counter, glossolalia. their confusion gains me valuable seconds. i’m quickly armed and brandishing. by way of explanation i sink into religious trance and start babbling in aroused, slurred cut-up: of lord rod i fear, his [...]

talvihorros: descent into delta

Leave a Comment Posted by on 05/12/2011

epic drone (like there’s any other kind). all trembles, sighs and ellipses… less facetiously, this is pretty textured. the kinda thing i used to dig about labradford. guitar strings to the fore, often gently damaged beyond recognition but oh when it drifts into great yawned notes and breezeblock reverb, well my heart get’s all a-fluttered. talvihorros

street trash

i already got trouble with my kids my wife my business my secretary the bums the runaways the roaches and a homo dog… exploitation of the highest order. poetry as desperation. booze, homelessness, apocalypse. a world of liquor stores, ruined tenements and junkyard rot. vietnam war veterans, dirty fucking freaks. immigration, consumerism, mental illness, dreamstates, [...]

acid mothers temple & the melting paraiso ufo: the ripper at the heaven’s gates of dark (riot season)

3 Comments Posted by on 01/12/2011

crikey. it’s been a relatively restrained acid mothers year so far. just the cracking pikacyu*makoto combo (i think…). and kinda fitting that this is the most reserved record they’ve put out; titles, tracks, length, music all exhibiting a relative stately grace. ripper as the basis for lcd soundsystem’s losing my edge: but have you seen [...]
