Alias Fever Dream
(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
(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.”)
