Willis Earl Beal – Acousmatic Sorcery
(XL Recordings)

In addition to obviously sharing a word in each name, it’s easy to draw comparisons between Beal and the late Wesley Willis: both are warm-natured, creative personalities from Chicago, where they never let their especially low-income realities get in the way of their music and art (Beal even openly shares his address and phone number for anyone who wants a drawing made or a song sung for him or her.) With pretty much just his bellowing voice and a few found objects (a standard-sounding acoustic guitar, something that sounds like a tweaked music box, some unidentified clinking and clanking items, etc.,) Beal has created an endearing sound that’d only be ruined if it were polished. He proves his versatility with several styles such as gritty blues crooning (“Take Me Away”) and ambitious, thoughtful rapping (“Ghost Robot.”) He shines the brightest, however, on his intimate acoustic ballads: his personal, calmly delivered lyrics on tracks like “Evening’s Kiss” and “Monotony” really do sound like they’re coming straight from the heart.

Tanlines – Mixed Emotions
(True Panther Sounds)
I’ve always enjoyed the comfortable, lush sounds of 80s synth-pop, so this Brooklyn duo’s summery, danceable tunes feel right at home for me. It’s no surprise that they cite their childhood bands (such as New Order) as influences, with the result sounding like a fresh, organic take on the style. Vocalist-guitarist-keyboardist Eric Emm’s solid baritone stands out: he developed a more natural, spirited and thoughtful technique after he and Jesse Cohen (drums, keyboards, bass) were evicted from their studio. It’s fitting to hear such a voice in tracks like the tidal ambience-washed opener “Brothers” and the island-flavored “Yes Way” and “Real Life,” the latter of which has the happy synth buoying a steel drum rhythm. The most dream-like track “Abby” drifts through a synthesized nebula with its interestingly repeated lyrics (“I don’t want to do any more than you / even though I fall behind…”)

Wednesday Weekly Video Volume 3

Wednesday Weekly Video Volume 3

Techno Animal (Technological Animal) was (last active in 2004) a project of Justin K. Broadrick (Godflesh, Napalm Death, Jesu, … and most recently JK Flesh – which is a moniker many associate directly with Techno Animal) & Kevin Martin (The Bug, King Midas Sound, Black Chow, Experimental Audio Research,…). This track is from 1997 and I honestly picked it because it is one of the couple tracks that actually has a video (and not a static picture). It definitely stands along side of some of the earlier ATR/Alec Empire material – acidic hip-hop laced harsh d’n’b.



Kontravoid – Native State (Official Video) from Kontravoid on Vimeo.
Just got this 7″ in yesterday (“Cut to Cleanse” is the B-Side). I guess Cameron Findlay (the artist behind this project who was also in the electonic pop group Parallels) played drums for Crystal Castles which some find notable, but really this stands on its own merit as great cold dark pop.



 The album this is on was on my (Rick) best of list for 2011 and it still gets plenty of play (like right now – the LP is on in the store this second and it’s actually on this song). Great track for walking along blankly glaring in the direction of your shoes.

Amenra is a European post-metal (Neurosis, Isis) band that’s been around for 13 years or so. If you dig sweaty riffs that jam on for days, this is for you.

Trust – Bulbform from Arts & Crafts on Vimeo.
Our friend Ryan came in today and told us how he can’t stop listening to this album (“TRST” by Trust). Both of us (Rick and Josh) totally empathize with that sentiment. Don’t mind us weirdos we’re just dancing in our heads.

I was sort of bummed out that I missed the boat on seeing Refused when they recently played New York. Fun fact: in the very early stages of planning to open Redscroll, I debated naming the store, “New Noise”. -Josh

Over the top post apocalyptic gang violence set to Twin Shadows’s “Five Seconds”.

Ty Segall Singles 2007-2010

[Buy From RSR Online]
(Goner)
Specializing in sharp lo-fi/psychedelic garage punk, this singer-guitarist-drummer has been releasing music since 2005 with bands like Epsilons, The Perverts and (most notably) Sic Alps. His solo output is the purest representation of his talent for rocking out, with this release compiling almost an hour of out-of-print and unreleased material. With such an abrasively produced sound, “shitgaze” is the genre tag that inevitably comes to mind. Like other acts that successfully use the style, though, Segall sounds refreshingly retro-tinged and analog as opposed to someone who just cranked up the bass boost (“Skin” is a shining example, with the organ’s sound capturing a mix of nostalgia and some tasty noise bursts.) My favorite tracks were high-intensity ones such as “Standing at the Station” demo, consisting of nothing but screamy, soaring heavy rock. I also enjoyed stuff like “Booksmarts,” which concludes it spooky surf-rock with total whirling chaos, while the second half of “Fuzzy Cat” is easily some of the most bracing, extreme-speed experimental punk I’ve ever heard.

(Temporary Residence Ltd.)
On his sophomore record (named after the period when Amish adolescents choose to either stay in their communities or break off and go wild,) singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Daniel James has recruited almost 20 additional musicians to help bring his imaginative orchestral-pop visions into fruition. The most prominent sound throughout is the many strings, particularly in the beautiful, ambient closer “Andalusia (Davenport),” courtesy of the frequently Sigur Rós-collaborating quartet Amiina. From the spirited brass-driven opening of “Chicago (Chicago),” James showcases his passionate emotions from the get-go. Other tracks like the relaxed “Indian Summer (Des Moines)” and dramatic-turned-cathartic “A Native” (Madison)” feature great mixes of the sophisticated, elegant instrumentation with memorable pop hooks. The powerful “Heavy Heart (Minneapolis A”) shows his frustrated, somber side with “a crowd full of strangers / lifting your heavy heart.”

Wednesday Weekly Video Volume 2
This track from Die Selektion is on the self-titled CD we have in stock. We also have their “Cladis” 7″. Some cold synth (and trumpet) for you in this hot season.
Erryday is Friday to SGP. Southern Screw influence living on.
We have a few copies of the Fabio Frizzi soundtrack to this classic movie by Lucio Fulci. They look and sound outstanding. (NOTE: THESE ARE NOW SOLD OUT! Wow, fast!)
Since last Friday, the internet has been buzzing about the Cro Mags and the latest crazy incident in their insane history. It’s important to remember that underneath the thick layer of lame drama, the music & energy is PERFECT. PMA.
New ZJ video. Probably helps to where sunglasses while viewing. Bright pop. (Note: Souterrain Transmissions is the European publisher; released domestically via Sacred Bones)
Last month Revelation Records re-released Youth Of Today’s “Break Down The Walls” and “We’re Not In This Alone” on colored vinyl. So, this is a great time to (re)watch their classic video for “No More”. Go Vegetarian (I would say, vegan but this video is so cheesy! OHH!)
Intense. If given the chance to see Neurosis, do it. This one is off the album of the same name. At this point the band had become as intense as could be even if less aggressive as they had been in their youth (“Pain of Mind” being a pretty straight forward dirty hardcore punk record).

Alias Fever Dream

[Buy From RSR Online]
(Anticon)
Typically known as a rapper and producer, Alias has crafted mountains of colorful, utterly tripped-out instrumental hip-hop on this record. He mixes numerous layers of drum-machine beats, synthesized melodies and hypnotic vocal samples for his uniquely abstract sound that lends itself to multiple listens to take everything in. One of my favorites is the cold, stony-sounding “Lady Lambin’,” which uses a quickly memorable hook of ghostly female “da-da-da-da’s.” “Talk In Technicolor” stands out by incorporating extra synth and soulfully delivered vocals from Dax Pierson (light rays / prisms and dimensions / are coming down / coming down through you.”) I also enjoyed tracks such as “Dahorses” and “Tagine,” which gave me a strong Black Dice vibe with their fractured beats, buzzing synth and freaky voice manipulation patterns.

Locrian & Mamiffer Bless Them That Curse You

[Buy From RSR Online]
(Profound Lore Records)
This collaboration delivers an inventive, earthy-sounding blend of folk, progressive, experimental and noise music. Locrian is a Chicago-based trio that cites metal, experimental and noise as their genres. Mamiffer (which claims to have come from “the deserts of California and New Mexico,”) offers a more post-rock/drone sound, as well as three additional members to their typical core duo. Opener “In Fulminic Blaze” kicks off with sizzling static and an ominous dirge before switching to a thoughtful, determined-sounding acoustic guitar/piano sound and closing with some epic electric guitar/drum drone. The mix of traditional instrumentation and noise varies throughout: for example, the surreal title track leans heavily toward dark ambient/drone, while the very creepy “Second Burial” reminded me the most of Wolf Eyes with its nuanced, homemade-sounding metal percussion and electronic screeching. The closing triad of “Metis/Amaranthine/The Emperor” begins with a deep piano chord and mournful female vocals (“you disappear right next to me / your hand on mine, holy death is mine”) before transitioning into vicious, piercing noise and closing with pummeling drums and angry, growled male vocals (“Dear father, you gave me all of your knowledge / it adds up to dust.”)
