kemialliset ystävät

Extract from the album Ullakkopalo on Fonal records. If you don't know Kemialliset Ystävät yet, go for it! Since years, they maintain a weird, original and mesmerizing sound in their nordic country, Finland.

archers by the sea

Great french drone ambient music by Archers by the Sea. Vincent Caylet (behind ABTS) creates beautiful dark soundscapes. His last LP They were floating over the mountain, they were kings is out now on La Station Radar.

pillars of fire

Beautiful extract of The Pillars of Fire movie project, filmed by the artists Julien Langendorff and Jason Glasser with the help of Matteah Baim for the music.

arp

I can't stop listening to this record! Arp is Alexis Georgopoulos, who also plays in the Alps (see below in this blog). The Soft Wave is really great and mesmerizing. A mix of drone, synthesizers and cosmic music like Cluster, Harmonia and a bit of noise. You can listen to it here. It has been released by Smalltown Supersound.
Pastoral Symphony: I. Dominoes. II: Infinity.

smycken

Smycken is Rasmus Emanuel Svensson (a graphic designer and visual artist fron Sweden) and Hanna Nilsson. They create dark, electronic, psychedelic and haunting music. He also edits a great magazine PWR Paper with various contributors. Svensson's work is very original and one of the most inspiring today. It can be seen here (visual) and heard there (music).

sculpture: rotary signal emitter

Demonstration Reel from Sculpture on Vimeo.

Amazing picture disc by Sculpture, a duo from London. The music consists in collages of found sounds, beats, noises... It's a kind of audio video experience, but you have to forget about dvd. You have to film the record with a camera and enjoy the results. You can find it through Dekorder or via Mimaroglu Music Sales.

the alps

The Alps is a band from San Francisco and New York. They play psychedelic music inspired by french, italian 70's psychedelic bands and soundtracks, krautrock and english folk. The band is Jefre Cantu-Ledesma (Tarentel), Alexis Georgopoulos (ARP) and Scott Hewicker (Troll). One of their tracks reminds me a song the french singer Christophe wrote for a movie, "Sunny road to Salina". It's really good and unique!!! Their two albums are entitled "III" and "Le Voyage" on the excellent label Type.
Hallucinations

new peaking lights & wet hair lps.

Two new releases from the awesome label Night People. The first one by Peaking Lights (one of my favorite band/duo these days) "Space Primitive" and Wet Hair/Naked on the Vague "Split LP". The records' artworks are designed by Shawn Reed (the label's boss), who also plays in Wet Hair, whose records "Dream" and "Glass Fountain" are fresh psychedelic noise music.

excepter: kill people!!!

Not really new, but a very good song and a really fucked-up video from this great New York band. Check their sound and info here.

This is a project, called Swords and Sandals, founded by John Dwyer (Thee Oh Sess, Coachwhips, The Hospitals, Landed...) and Randylee Sutherland. The artist, Shaun O'Dell has been added to the line-up. Free jazz music, far away from Thee Oh Sees but very good. You can listen to it here and look at the amazing O'Dell's artwork.

Pour celles et ceux qui aiment la noise, le sound art incandescent, minimaliste, lugubre et transcendent. Je conseille aussi vivement d'écouter "Sand Beasts", longue pièce de 38 minutes, sortie il y a quelques temps sur le label Condrithic Sound
