It's the Bancamp monthly fee-waive Friday so here are some recommendations to spend on as artists are going to get all proceeds from orders.
Yet another piece in the long run of Culver and Fordell Research Unit collaborations and splits, Memento Mori is one of the most ambient ones, effectively superseding both acts' distinctive styles. There's a church quality here that reflects the massive deaths in the UK due to covid, although I don't know whether the sounds were conceived during lockdown. Released on May 1 by Steep Gloss, there are only 2 copies of the tape left (as with all Culver releases there aren't any samples), so act now and buy it here or regret it, because I won't be posting this!
Another great one by Steep Gloss is just out and it's Lust Rollers' Cassette With Collage, a mix of free jazz and skronk/prepared instruments improv, with slabs of harsh noise too. Nice! Check it here.
Bolivian Fireships is another moniker for J.G. Sparkes, who has been covered and praised here before, and he was kind enough to send me this tape Vol. 1 released by Doomstund during lockdown. The basics behind his dayjob projects are present here in full strength, tape loops, dreamy and dark guitar/synth psychscapes, and the great feeling of leaving compositions incomplete to avoid grand narratives of perfection. Yet another great release you must listen, so go here and do yourself a favor.
Wyndham Research Institute is a project of J.G. Sparkes working with dark ambient master <1, playing sci-fi ambient, something like a more structured Bjerga/Iversen. Excellent stuff, check out Articles I-IV here,by TQN-aut, the label run by Andy Wood of TQ zine and David Howcroft of No-Audience Underground tapes.
Another nice new release by TQN-aut is If We Believe in Nothing by Ian Joyce, playing ambient synths sort of like Burial's beatless ambient pieces and space age ambient. Check it here.
Rovellasca is one of the monikers of Craig Johnson, visual artist, as well as musician playing as Death In Scarsdale, and owner of the great Invisible City Records. After a series of releases on Matching Head (you must check out Initiation Well) and collaborations with Culver, here's a new release called Empty Vitrines on the Japanese Kirigirisu Recordings, offering two very deep drones of industrial factory quality; you know, the stuff I like that makes me fall asleep. Check it out here.
Rovellasca's most recent output is the tape Delirium, Or Sonata on Crow Versus Crow, which features three more slabs of industrialized ambient drone greatness, with an additional cinematic touch here. Nice, get it here for free, or contribute something.
Finally a new tape called Tour Extracts by Plurals culled from live recordings. There is sublime low-key improvised drone and some epic Robert Fripp-meets Sunn O))) climaxes. Plurals is a guarantee so go here on Panurus Productions' bandcamp and grab it fast.
''that reflects the massive deaths in the UK due to covid''.
ReplyDeleteYour lack of discernment concerning this hoax is really astonishing. You can continue to claim that you're fighting against the ''system'' as long as you want online, but the reality is that you're just a tool spreading its lies, mainstream media puppet lies, believing and submitting to them like a consenting slave, without blinking an eye, when hard times come.
Your lack of sensitivity to the fact of almost 2 million people having died like that because capitalist statea did nothing to protect them and improve public health systems and prevent kids from dangers due to overcrowded classrooms is not astonishing. It is the patent evidence of just another fascist of the millions that pollute the earth and need to be crushed like worms by communism to purge society from your lack of social solidarity and support for eugenics and social darwinism against the elderly and precarious groups. You can go on licking each other's necks with the scum you socialize with until you get sniped and buried with a hammer and sickle stabbed inside your worthless heart. It goes without saying that you are klnot welcome to read again what I write here you fucking Nazi cockroach
ReplyDelete''Millions'' of people die of the ''flu'' every year but nobody cares, not even you, so stop putting on airs with such dogmatic and meaningless ready-made sentences. The C-19 tests are unreliable (prove me otherwise) and the numbers of people infected obviously truncated, but yet you naively take everything that is thrown at you by the system and its minions for granted, and use it above all as an opportunity to regurgitate mechanically your sermon. Oh yeah, I'm a dirty fascist pig, but strangely I'm the one here who's still able to use his brain and dare to question what I'm told to believe. You're just a retarded hypocrite who talks about ''sensitivity'' in order to suggest that I don't give a fuck (while actually my skeptical position proves the contrary), but yet dream four or five lines after of ''purging society'', what a joke. But hey, I guess it's probably easier for weaklings like you to point out in others what they can't personally assume, because it has to be rather disgusting to be what they eventually hate so much.
