Nape Neck | You Stand, You Sit | Nape Neck | Gringo Records | 2020 | Nape Neck hail from Leeds, UK. Vocals from all three band members push and pull against one another, fighting for space in a claustrophobic crush of caustic sheet metal six-string scrape and a frenetic, lockstep rhythmic rumble, like the DOG FACED HERMANS or the EX if they had come up through artist lofts rather than anarcho squats. No wave for the now! | 0:03:20 (Pop-up) | |
Die Verlierer | Intrige und Libido | Die Verlierer | Mangel Records | 2022 | Berlin Post Punk that sounds exactly as advertised, from a band with a name that translates to "The Losers". They list their influences as: A heavy influence are definitely Abwärts, Ton Steine Scherben, and A+P. Early German punk rock from the 70s/80s. Also, we love British punk rock and post-punk. Especially Televisions Personalities and Joy Division. Also, Dead Moon from the USA. The are inspired by: Our existence in a fucked-up dystopian society. The contradiction of our everyday life, and the strive for independence. Well, the pursuit of happiness ha-ha! | 0:06:41 (Pop-up) | |
Dr. Drexler Project | Leistungsbilanzüberschüsse | Leistungsbilanzüberschüsse Single | Play Loud! Productions | 2021 | If you like long German words, here's one for you! Leistungsbilanzüberschüsse translates to approximately "Current Account Surpluses". The protest song is back. The Dr. Drexler project operates from the Southern German town of Augsburg, birthplace of Bertolt Brecht. The collective's sound is modernized post-punk. Rhythms for the dancefloor. Snarling bass, chiselled beats, sharp-edged guitars and gritty lyrics that give voice to angry times. I NEED TO HEAR MORE FROM THIS BAND. | 0:08:55 (Pop-up) | |
Erregung Öffentlicher Erregung | Kreutzen Kompetenzen | Sonnenuntergang über den Ruinen von Klatsch | Euphorie Records | 2017 | I am in love with EOE (which translates to: "agitation of public agitation") Their sound enthusiastically refers to music from the early 80s, from Ideal, Nina Hagen and Palais Schaumburg or Malaria!, but also to current bands like Messer or Rumpf. And yet it sounds completely unique. “The motto was: Uninhibited and valuable. So freedom to do whatever you want without worrying about whether this is current or is this cool or is this valuable in a way.” | 0:11:05 (Pop-up) | |
Cigarette Bums | Passed Out In Pasadena | Trash Town | Cigarette Bums | 2022 | Cigarette Bums hail from sunny Los Angeles, California and produce gritty, surf inspired, trashy, grindy and very fun garage rock. This release is from 2022, and lead singer/guitarist Ciggy Bop tells me that the band is headed back to NYC for some shows in the coming months so keep your eyes and ears open! | 0:13:11 (Pop-up) | |
Hartle Road | ICU | MAXX II | Hartle Road | 2023 | Hartle Road features the instrument that can’t be purchased, the sound of two siblings, Toby and Max Hartleroad. Together with cousin Myles Jordan and childhood friend Tyler Carter, they form the group in rural Columbus Mississippi. In Lowndes County, not far from the childhood home of Tennessee Williams (just down US Route 45 from White Station, birthplace of Howlin’ Wolf)... | 0:15:00 (Pop-up) | |

The album is out via Dinosaur City Records. bodies is led by vocalist and guitarist daniel ward, alongside Aldo Thomas (vocals, guitar, saxophone), Ruby Lee (drums, drum machine, sampler), Ben Sendy-Smithers (bass) and a revolving cast of collaborators. In a statement, ward summarised the record as a collection of songs that act as “a prayer or ritual on certain fires, speaking to desire, fear, love, death, time, mysteries.” Dinosaur City described all the songs i know about fire as an album devoted to “the unending circle of time, and a prayer for precious attention. An ode to temporality and impermanence and conviction alike.” | * | 0:16:42 (Pop-up) |

It's pure Matt Berry...some prog, some swingin' sixties shit, a touch of space rock with pastoral breaks, great percussion and synth stabs, jaunty, cheeky and all round good vibes. |

Flitting from croon to shriek with ritualistic caprice, the Haining-born vocalist played Boston basements with Berklee art punks DENT before graduating in 2016; these days, her voice is the driving force behind Flenser-affiliated Elizabeth Colour Wheel, projecting powerfully over their sludgy din. / Singing in English and Mandarin, the Berklee-educated vocalist and experimental musician uses oddball pop melodies, distorted breaks, and swirling drones to explore themes of anxiety and selfhood." //////// This is from the Limited Edition 夢之駭客 Dream Hacker LP w/USB Necklace + Record/Vinyl + Digital Album package: 09/2023 Tour Edition //// Limited edition of 50 //// 夢之駭客 Dream Hacker Vinyl LP and etched USB necklace //// USB includes: -W.C.

Madness | Run For Your Life | Theatre of the Absurd Introduces C'est La Vie | CTUN LLP / BMG | 2023 | So Madness decided to wait almost 50 years to release their hardest-edged song of their career? Ok... The new album is very very good, as well. "Theatre of the Absurd Presents C'est la Vie is the thirteenth studio album by British band Madness. It was released on 17 November 2023 through BMG Rights Management. The album marks their first studio release in seven years, following Can't Touch Us Now //// Madness recorded the album in Cricklewood in early 2023 with assistance in mixing and engineering by Matt Galsbey. Written and produced by band members themselves for the first time in their career, creation of the record was spurred by the princible "Let Madness be Madness". In a statement, Madness described the recording process as "the perfect antidote to the chaos of the past few years" and referred to their current form as "properly in the zone". The result was understood as "their most harmonious recording experience to date". The band announced the album on 27 September 2023 and premiered the lead single "C'est la Vie" on The Radio 2 Breakfast Show. Accompanying the announcement, the band let British actress Helen Mirren give a "dramatic reading" of some of the lyrics." | * | 0:42:22 (Pop-up) |
Sgt. Papers | Diosito | Diosito | Devil In The Woods | 2022 | From Hermosillo, Mexico. "During The Mud Howlers’ hiatus, guitarist and keyboardist Felipe García developed a serious case of itchy fingers. Aching to play again, he asked his brother Iván if he wanted to start a new, punkier band, just the two of them. The result was Sgt. Papers, a refreshing combination of psych and garage dripping with immediacy (and a considerable amount of distortion). With two albums under their belt, 2017’s Sgt. Papers - Sgt. Papers Lonely Psych Punk Band and 2019’s Sgt. Papers - Me Hiciste Brujería , the band has cemented their status as one of Hermosillo’s most prominent bands, already spanning parallel projects and mentoring younger musicians." Sgt.

Hot Garbage | Mystery | Precious Dream | Mothland / Exag Records | 2024 | From "Galore": "HOT GARBAGE SHARE “MYSTERY” SINGLE + VIDEO / Nov 20, 2023 @ 9:43 am By Perry Johnson / Toronto rockers Hot Garbage recently announced details on their upcoming sophomore album, Precious Dream, which is set to drop on January 19, 2024, via Mothland and EXAG’ Records. Following the release of the LP’s first single and opening track “Snooze You Lose,” the band returns today with a second single entitled “Mystery.” Watch the music video for “Mystery” Here: Hot Garbage - Mystery [Official Video] //////// “Mystery” delivers the curious story of Judy and Billy amidst a fuzzed-out riff with a twisted surf twang. After successfully summoning Davie Allan’s long-lost Mosrite, the Toronto psych-rockers elect to delve deep into chromaesthesia, painting a stylish musical fresco about voluntary amnesia and blissful confusion. The track builds and builds, reaching an intense, swirling climax – a familiar feeling for those acquainted with the band’s previous work – before dropping the listener back into the song’s hypnotizing guitar hook, effectively leaving them to wonder: “What was this all about?” //////// Though the band’s signature tinge of moody, heavy psychedelia remains present on Precious Dream (as seen through these two singles), their forthcoming sophomore album careens at high speeds into a darker world of searing post-punk riffs, grappling with themes of dread, loss, the resilience of the human spirit and the highs and lows of solitude. From the onset, elegant yet brutalist sonic architectures provide the scenery for an escape route, while cryptic poetic spurts act as surreal signage. By the end of the journey, we are left with a strangely pleasant void, but also with an uncontrollable urge to backtrack into the outfit’s beautiful 36-minute musical trap. //////// True to form, prolific producer Graham Walsh (Holy Fuck, No Joy, !!!, etc.) – with whom, Hot Garbage recorded their critically-acclaimed debut full-length, RIDE – does right by the band, masterfully harnessing the four-piece’s unique brand of rock & roll, setting in motion a parallel universe where phones are not what they seem, lobotomy has its merits, lower is actually better, and tunnels stretch the very fabric of spacetime. Fans of Sonic Youth, Frankie and the Witch Fingers or Joy Division should welcome a confused stroll down this romantic if dystopian opus, for a cathartic and tender sense of resolution, awaits." | * | 0:49:08 (Pop-up) |

The Royal Family | Metamorphysis | The Royal Family | 2023 | This is the first single from Toronto's Royal Family self titled record, out on Dec 1st. The newly-formed French and English baroque psychedelic collective draws inspiration from '60s psych-rock acts like the Fairport Convention, Soft Machine and Giles, Giles, and Fripp, as well as iconic figures of the 1960s like Francois Hardy, Brigitte Bardot and Zouzou. "The genesis of the LP revolves around the metamorphosis of a butterfly; and the becoming, and the realizing of the self," the band shared in a press release. The release is coming out on Whereandnow recordings who are based out of Stratford, ON.They are also playing live at Expo Vintage on Dundas St here in TO on DEC 15th along with Chantal de Bisous | * | 1:03:00 (Pop-up) | |
Dom & The Wizards | Love, Kissing, Ice & Ice Cream | The Australian Cyclone Intensity Scale | Tenth Court | 2021 | Band leader Dom Trimboli, of renowned Adelaide / Kaurna Country based group Wireheads, takes the listener on a staggered journey through tales of sinister whimsy, as though playing to an audience of sedated accountants, standing hand in hand humming nonchalantly as the world burns around them. The Wizards retreat from the world of increased chaos and the mathematicians that attempt to bring it to order, to unearth the simple pleasures of colourful, irreverent narrative. Trimboli takes us back to a world of fanciful tales, mystical heroes and kaleidoscopic exaggerations. On The Australian Cyclone Intensity Scale, the Wizards’ playbook takes iconic form, becoming a clearer patchwork quilt of myth, literature, theology and anecdote, resembling a psychedelic late-night Wikipedia hole. Yearning for the times of the high renaissance, the molasses like glue of the album urges its listener to park their cars and write love letters to their neighbours they have never spoken to. | 1:05:23 (Pop-up) | |
Adon Whittemore | Blood Red Moon | Rental Illness | T.V.

Niobe | Stuck To The Fact | The Cclose Call | Onglagoo Records | 2011 | Niobe is the moniker for German singer/songwriter Yvonne Cornelius. Born in Frankfurt, Germany, to German and Venezuelan parents and based in Cologne since 1994, singer Yvonne Cornelius took her stage name, Niobe, from the character in Greek mythology, the daughter of Tantalus, king of Sipylos, who turned to stone while crying over the loss of her children. She was a frequent collaborator with Mouse on Mars, appearing, for example, on the band's album Radical Connector. She released her debut solo album, Radioersatz, on Tomlab Records in 2001. Her last release was Child of Paradise in 2014... | 1:08:58 (Pop-up) | |
Patois Counselors | Big Pop Plays Standards | The Optimal Seat | Ever/Never Records | 2020 | Charlotte, North Carolina's Patois Counselors are specialists, and their expertise lies in the ability to craft a perfect nervous hook, to sculpt their anxious music into addictive hybrids of post-punk pop. Head Counselor Bo White leads his band through a tangle of needling guitar lines, deft rhythms and adroit synthesizer flourishes. he distinction speaks volumes. This is smart music for smart people. My key takeaway from this song: The Nick Rhodes "Night Boat" keyboards sealed the deal..... | 1:11:39 (Pop-up) | |
Hidden Ritual | Judy | Zebra Boltle | Self-Released | 2015 | Pushed by a rhythm that is somehow driving and hazy, ‘Zebra Bottle’ is filled with a melted urgency, something like a droning-Feelies-psych vibe. We’re not talking about a paisley dreamcatcher afternoon here so much as an arrhythmic strobe light, dark basement, don’t look in the mirror kind of affair. This is the long awaited debut from one of Austin’s finest, Hidden Ritual. Alas...there is not much more to be learned as this was their only release and not much trackable press. So let's enjoy his gazey/droney/fuzzy moment in time. | 1:14:16 (Pop-up) | |
The Tarts | Friction | SOLID GOLD | Fantasy Fiction | 2023 | This ep was recently in early September, so quite new! By means of sonic disruption via brainwave beams from future planet ERIS, The Telepathic Association for Radical Tranformative Sound (T.A.R.T.S) have been gifted AND burdened with a task to deliver a message. Rhizomatic discord MUST reveal itself as shadow on dreamscape-e- walls while sonic booms MUST echo from open mouths and large electric amplifiers! Sound as currency as language. It is bartered, traded, melted down, mixed, split-twixt-bombarded, DEranged then spat about. Circling spacetraders suck up the pools of discarded language froth; fly up into orbit and dock here at FAXMACHINE, T.A.Z. (temporary autonomous zone), deposit said froth, disconnect and disperse into the stratosphere. Here, language is processed; moulded and crystallised, cut and polished, powdered and finally packed neatly into Jargon Aggregate Nuancer pods(J.A.N pods - A.K.A. DOGTOOTHs), then cranium-lazered back down and force-pulted into 70mph-plus-turbo-gusts without so much as a sniff, snort, blow-bye, chaise lounge, Alfie Weiderson note, address or destination!

This new André 3000 album is no joke. It’s not some wellness-jazz whim or grand renunciation of hip-hop, either. Yes, it’s the first album that the co-founder of OutKast has released in nearly two decades, and yes, it’s an entirely wordless recording where, instead of rhyming opulently, André 3000 has chosen to exhale his melodic ideas through the valves and circuits of a digital flute. No, it’s not a masterpiece. But yes, it’s quite lovely. Above all, it’s sincere. |

Released on: 2020-03-29 // Producer: Dirk Dresselhaus // Composer, Arranger: Dirk Dresselhaus // Composer, Arranger: Elena Poulou // Arranger: Petr Step Kišur // Composer, Arranger: Werner Diermaier //// Review from Louder Than War, 2019: "Nohe Noshe / ICA London / Oct 2019 "The ICA’s main gallery is transformed by mounds of sand and rubble, showroom dummies, inflatable globes, and golden spinning spheres. At the centre of the room, five dancers move beneath a giant sheet, with only their faces visible. They are accompanied by a multi-layered electronic drone produced by two musicians, Nohe Noshe, who play with their faces obscured by reflective disc-like masks. Tonight is the opening of a retrospective show by the Berlin-based art collective Honey-Suckle Company. The duo behind Nohe Noshe are two of its founding members, the artist Peter Kisur and Eleni Poulou, the DJ and musician best-known known for her work with The Fall between 2001 and 2016. // Honey-Suckle began life in 1994 in a house-share in post-unification Berlin. Poulou was born in Greece, Kisur in Croatia. Poulou tells me Honey-Suckle was all about takingyour own identity, without worrying about limitations. They would improvise their own outfits from gaffer tape, children’s toys, hand-painting their T-shirts and making masks. Poulouand Kisur were both emigres, creating their own identities in a city that was also trying to reinvent itself. The exhibition features many of these clothes, including a hand-painted T-shirt by Poulou that reads, “The Most Chemical Influence: Gender Pretender”, a slogan that reflects the ambiguous take on gender and identity in the band name, Nohe Noshe. In the second floor gallery space of the ICA, beside an eerily immersive all-white room, there is a vase with 3D projections of Poulou, Kisur and two other members of the Honey-Suckle company dancing around its rim. They are only a few centimetres tall, cavorting in costumes made of newspaper carrying headlines about Brexit. // Nohe Noshe is a collaboration that spans twenty-five years. Kisur tells me that when Poulou moved to England to join The Fall, they continued to share ideas over the telephone, and began working together in earnest on her return to Berlin in 2017. They have a full diary for the next six months playing galleries and museums around the world. Much of their music is based around long-form electronic drones, a description that barely captures its musicality or richness, with all of its modulations, and harmonies. The duo build up layers of sound on keyboards, a harmonium and shonky, improvised electronic devices, creating an immersive soundscape that nevertheless always feels focused and precise. As the dancers slink away beneath their sheet, the audience turns rapt to Poulou and Kisur, enigmatic figures behind their reflective masks. Poulou wears a cocktail dress with red seam-like stripes painted on the front of her legs, and Kisur in an elf-like knitted hat and his shoes transformed into fancy slippers by pinning exotic flowers to the toes. They are still following the command to take their identities, twenty-five years into their friendship and collaboration." Nohe Noshe (Bandcamp) |
