<br />I am really excited about this new Hair Police's record. Mercurial Rites wasn't really expected and it is welcome. Formed by Mike Connelly, Robert Beatty and Trevor Tremaine, we haven't heard much news from Hair Police, the american noise band. Their last album was released in 2008. Since then, the members have been still active. Mike Connelly with <a href="http://failinglights.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Failing Lights</a> and <a href="http://www.wolfeyes.net/" target="_blank">Wolf Eyes</a>. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/arbagegarbage/" target="_blank">Robert Beatty</a> with <a href="http://threeleggedrace.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Three Legged Race</a> and his career as a visual artist, designing many record covers. Trevor Tremaine jamming with Warmer Milks among others. Mercurial Rites is out now on <a href="http://typerecords.com/" target="_blank">Type</a> and it's so good.<br /><iframe width="100%" height="450" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fplaylists%2F3608832&color=ff6600&auto_play=false&show_artwork=true"></iframe> bghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00462350497779568657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900286572566677266.post-34133495440336618112013-01-22T18:14:00.002+01:002013-01-22T18:15:46.795+01:00grouper: the man who died in his boat<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ordPSYcTmIM/UP6iJZvjMeI/AAAAAAAAAps/0cQQOFLrS0g/s1600/Grouper.jpg" imageanchor="1" style=""><img border="0" height="400" width="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ordPSYcTmIM/UP6iJZvjMeI/AAAAAAAAAps/0cQQOFLrS0g/s400/Grouper.jpg" /></a><br />Liz Harris' forthcoming album is a collection of unreleased tracks. The eleven songs on this record sound much more like ballads than her recent work. Beautiful, dark and haunting as usual.

<br />Some years ago I received an album in my mail box called <i>GR's Xperiments From Within The Tentacular</i>, a fantastic psychedelic album by a french guitarist, Gregory Raimo. Being the singer for the trio <a href="http://fr.myspace.com/gunslingerspace" target="_blank">Gunslingers</a>, <a href="http://bonhomie.free.fr/home.html" target=_blank">GR</a> has never stopped to play a damaged rock n' roll and has also collaborated with Michael Yonkers. He finally comes back with this new album <i>A Reverse Age</i> out on <a href="http://www.mexicansummer.com/shop/gr-a-reverse-age/" target="_blank">Mexican Summer</a>.

He has performed with Tomutonttu and a lot of of noise makers. The first title is an extract from <i>Der Prediger</i>, a cdr released on <a href="http://young-girls-records.blogspot.fr/" target="_blank">Young Girls records</a>. A dark and cold wave track with Èl-g uncanny voice. I really dig this one.

His first release <span style="font-style:italic;">Not Here Not There</span> is available on his own imprint Dust editions. Not Here Not There is a six track album full of dreamy landscapes built on guitar, drone and textures.

This was a beautiful set built on loops and on his voice. This was just before his latest album <span style="font-style:italic;">Third Mouth</span> went out on <a href="http://www.thrilljockey.com/thrill/Alexander-Tucker/Third-Mouth" target="_blank">Thrill Jockey</a>. It seems that since <span style="font-style:italic;">Furrowed Brow</span>, the english musician has choosen new directions. Although, he has collaborated with musicians such as Stephen O'Malley (Sunn O))), KTL...), Circle... <span style="font-style:italic;">Third Mouth</span> sounds "pop" in a way and you can feel his folk, noise and experimental influences all along the record. This is really fresh and a mature piece of work.<br />(photo: © Mathieu Olingue)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.bertrandgruchy.com/mp3/100050613.mp3"><span style="font-style:italic;">Mullioned View </span></a>bghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00462350497779568657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900286572566677266.post-36790225236448322072012-06-17T16:23:00.004+02:002012-06-18T11:09:40.728+02:00jefre cantu-ledesma: faceless kiss<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/36556737?portrait=0" width="400" height="300" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe><br />A video by <a href="http://sabrinaratte.com/" target="_blank">Sabrina Ratté</a> for the new <a href="http://www.shiningskull.org/" target="_blank">Jefre Cantu-Ledesma</a> 7" out now on Emerald Cocoon.bghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00462350497779568657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900286572566677266.post-25786862152716639772012-06-16T14:04:00.002+02:002012-06-16T14:08:39.481+02:00pulse emitter: nebula<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ptag14L6pl0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>bghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00462350497779568657noreply@blogger.com0
