Jacaszek Glimmer

(Ghostly International)
Michal Jacaszek is a Polish musician who, for about a decade, has been composing works of the ambient/modern classical persuasion. His latest record provides a very somber, reflective experience that turns out to be an experimental, nonconformist approach to both genres. To conceive the curiously ornate, subterranean-sounding atmosphere, Jacaszek primarily relies on acoustic/orchestral strings and unpredictable electronic tweaks. For example, opener “Goldengrove” primarily consists of several different clean-sounding string instruments and a metallophone on a foundation of eerie, sensual scratch loops. “Evening Strains To Be Time’s Vast” provides the most intense onslaught of whirling noise toward the end, but for most part, the songwriting is both abstract and mellow throughout. It’s certainly a fascinating take on the ambient genre.
[Reviewer: Mark]

Pterodactyl Spills Out

(Brah Records/Jagjaguwar)
Based in Brooklyn, these guys draw from several eras for the acid-infused lo-fi psych-pop on their third record. “School Glue” kicks it off with a mix of trippy Animal Collective-reminiscent jovialness and sunny guitar noise, eventually transitioning into the blissfully surf-tinged “Searchers” (later track “The Break” is just one of several great demonstrations of the style, like Wavves experimenting with an artsier sound.) Other tracks, such as the dark, slightly spooky “The Hole Night” and slow-simmering, resonant “Zombies,” give the purest reflection of morose pop psychedelia from the 60s (it reminds me of The Beatles’ more experimental endeavors and, tying into the latter track’s title, The Zombies.) Another standout close to the style is “Allergy Shots,” which mournfully repeats the phrase “the grass isn’t greener” amidst a downtempo bass and nonstop tambourine rhythm.

Die Selektion Cladis

(Edition Gris)
This record starts with some ominous tones and a voice (in a language I do not understand) under a wall of static or possibly just rain; there is a thunder strike after the voice stops. The rain and thunder fade out as the side comes to an end. The B-Side again begins with some ominous tones and some distant rhythms. On this side that distant rhythm is a clue as to what Die Selektion really leaves you wanting more and more of – dark dance music. Some 4/4 beats and repetitious harmonic joy thrown in the mix (we all can’t be dark all of the time – even within the dark times; especially on joyous days as this when Josh and Jenn are being married!). I’m looking forward to a lot more from this relatively new group out of Germany (a group that includes “a classic trumpet”).
[Reviewer: Rick]

Extra Life Dream Seeds

(Northern Spy)
On their third full-length, this Brooklyn trio embarks on a truly ambitious journey of conceptual experimentation. Sounding like a mix of Renaissance, progressive, and math rock, the songs are theatrical and epic in scope. The primarily driving force is vocalist/synth player/acoustic guitarist Charlie Looker’s dramatic and poetic singing. From melancholy opener “No Dreams Tonight,” the running themes include God-fearing religiousness and childhood innocence, most strikingly in situations involving abuse (“Discipline For Edwin”) and death (“Ten Year Teardrop.”) It’s not easy to think of other albums to compare this to: the abstract lyrics, backed by music that ranges from chamber-reminiscent strings to thick, angular prog to creepy avant-garde minimalism, make for a very unique and surreal experience.
[Reviewer: Mark]

Rob Crow He Thinks He’s People

(Temporary Residence Ltd.)
Known as a singer and multi-instrumentalist in numerous bands (most notably Pinback,) Crow’s latest solo record will likely appeal to a wide audience. Properly describing it to those unfamiliar with his trademark style, though, requires some imagination (I have to admit that I haven’t heard much of his other material before this.) The title is a great indicator: his brand of electric/acoustic indie rock is self-deprecating and dark-humored, but delivered in a way that sounds comfortably organic and mellow instead of off-putting. His years of experience have paid off: he manages to sound both authentic and well-controlled about feelings of helpless on the slightly spooky “Tranked,” as well as not caring about “what any man says” about wearing “a dress for your services” on “So Way.” His sense of humor gets pretty blunt, particularly when he says he’d like to be there when annoying cellphone-users die and get put in body bags (“I’d Like To Be There.”) It’s refreshing that he isn’t afraid to say exactly what’s on his mind.

(LoAF)

Hailing from London, Michael Lovett serves as the sole vocalist and instrumentalist for this lush, lively electropop project with a sound comparable to Hot Chip and Junior Boys. Citing R&B as a major influence – particularly from Timbaland’s production and Aaliyah’s work from her “Try Again” era – he incorporates several noticeable traits of the genre, such as multilayered vocals and moody-sounding keyboard lines.  The result is a catchy, breezy sound throughout. It’s particularly present on tracks like “Okinawa Channels,” which mixes calm vocals, old-school electronic synth and smooth strings, as

well as the particularly circuitous synth-laden chillout of “Work.” “Base64 Love” stands out as well: it sounds like an alluring romantic ballad with very unconventional lyricism (“if you’re out tonight / I’m formatting my hard drive / into FA1832 / but maybe we could play with the… ca-bles…”) The whole album is an interesting, well-played take on the electropop genre to say the least. 

[Reviewer: Mark]

(Ribbon Music)

On the sixth full-length from this well-established Brooklyn experimental group, it really does sound like a natural progression from 2009’s Repo. Black Dice’s past efforts have evolved from violent art-punk to strangely soothing ambience to oddly danceable experimentation: here, they settle on more abstract arrangements of repeating patterns that work in several ways. For example, opener “Pinball Wizard” relies on two halves: a freaky 4-note downtempo buzz backed by spooky synth in the first, and a highly-kinetic drum that seriously gets the ball rolling (no pun intended) in the second. The energetic and colorful “Pigs” is easily the most accessible yet fun track: it sounds like a chopped-and-screwed mix of punk rock and rhythmic electronic weirdness. Also, the eight-minute-plus “Carnitas” interestingly manages to sound both sleepy and busy, with new, free-structured sounds popping up both gradually and unpredictably. Once again, Black Dice manage to craft fascinating, drugged-out dream worlds –I look forward to seeing how they’ll further evolve in the future.

Mind Spiders Meltdown

(Dirtnap)
It’s clear to see that vocalist/guitarist/synth player Mark Ryan hasn’t abandoned his catchy sound from when he fronted Denton, Texas’ The Marked Men. On the second full-length from this solo project, Ryan delves into more traditionally poppy, hook-laden and fittingly lo-fi garage-punk. The nostalgic, sunny driving-beat sound of tracks like the infectious opener “You Are Dead” and “On The Radio” wouldn’t sound out-of-place alongside The Ramones. I really enjoyed the organ/synth-driven sound on tracks like the ballad “More Than You” and dark, very retro sci-fi “Skull-Eyed” (the latter theme is appropriate because the band’s name, incidentally, comes from Fritz Leiber’s 1961 book The Mind Spider and Other Stories.) This builds up to the title track at the album’s closing: a dizzying, particularly “fried” sounding mix of the synth and organ going all over the place, backed by the guitars and drum comfortably chugging along.

Sewer Election Vittra Sönder

(Throne Heap)
Active since the early 2000s, this project from Dan Johansson has been one of Sweden’s best-known noise/experimental projects. The record’s title translates as “Disintegrate,” and judging by the uncompromising sound, it’s quite appropriate. “Att Falla” (“The Falling”) starts on a morose note with a drawn-out organ tone that vaguely sounds like a machine’s hum, setting the mood for an unsettling, cold industrial ambience. The tones eventually sound almost melodic amidst some unidentifiable screeches/growls peppered throughout. My favorite part is when it launches into the truly bracing and heavily amplified noise of what sounds like various metal objects crashing about in a storm, before concluding with more bizarre vocal loops that sound like human/animal hybrids. “Bilder Av Dig” (“Pictures Of You”) sounds even rougher, starting off with more musique concrete that incorporates a heavily distorted field recording and more warped voices. It climaxes with another brutal, overwhelming cataclysm of unrestrained crashing, smashing and outright mayhem – after all, the genre isn’t called “noise” for nothing. It’s just the kind of truly uneasy listening that I crave for unexplainable reasons.
