The Big Pink Future This

(4AD)
This London duo (Robbie Furze and Milo Cordell) serves up another record of passionate, synth-tinged indie-pop. With its high production values and enticing hooks, it’s easily accessible throughout – thankfully, though, they seasoned it with plenty of fuzzed-out effects throughout to make it especially resonant. For example, opening track “Stay Gold” and “Rubbernecking” have a powerfully jubilant, head-bobbing sound that should definitely appeal to fans of Sleigh Bells. Others, like “The Palace” and “Lose Your Mind,” reminded me of 80s pop with meticulous keyboard details and echo-y vocals. They’re great at conveying multiple moods; it’s particularly apparent when the record closes with the surprisingly melancholy “77.”

White Load Wayne’s World III b/w Godfather IV

(Load)
I’m impressed by how tight this Providence trio sounds, even when playing “black out drunk” as side two is described. Imagine hardcore punk (early Dwarves comes to mind) boiled down to its very essence: a raucous and just plain loud mix of quick-and-to-the-point songs with shouted vocals, a guitar that sounds thoroughly caked in mud and an eardrum-pounding beat that seldom takes a rest. Recorded at a place called “Vomit’s Hole,” side one sounds more “polished” (which I use in the absolute loosest sense of the word,”) while side two sounds the most “live,” primarily consisting of even-rougher versions of the tracks on side one. Needless to say, despite the obvious cliché of the sentiment, these guys truly do rock hard.

NZCA/LINES
(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.

Black Dice Mr. Impossible
(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.
[Reviewer: Mark]

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.
