E.T. Habit - Venomous (HoZac, 2012)

Before this EP the group released two very Progressive albums. The first one, self-titled, was released in 2010 on the label Skrot Up. It's Prog Rock colored by Psychedelic on many tracks. The second, Panthers On The Roof, was released in 2012 on a label created by the group. Despite there's 5 tracks from their first album, the two albums have a quite different mood. This second album is much less psychedelic. In fact the 5 tracks reused are sometimes very different and other times are remastered and this makes them less Psychedelic and more Heavy. Both are very interesting but personally I prefer the first one whom I find more original with this mixture of Prog Rock and Psychedelic.

However with this Venomous EP released on HoZac the band reach another dimension with a Garage Prog approach and a work on the sounds which is dared and original. It is a little bit strange, especially during the first listens, but the ear becomes used fast and in the end it is very catchy and very original. It is an excellent and original EP, I hope that the group will released an album with in this approach.

You can listen the album on some streaming sites, I noticed Deezer, Rdio and Spotify. Or you can preview it here but at a quality only a bit better than standard streaming, and be fair, if you like dig it, support the artists and don't forget to buy the EP.

To support the artists you can buy the vinyl 7" at HoZac label. You can also buy the digital album at the various standard places.

Various Artists - Le Garage Se Rebiffe (Close Up, 2013)

This recently released Garage compilation has a shift when compared to current Garage. It's quite old school oriented with a sort of 60's color, and it's not much focused on the dirty aspects of Garage unlike most modern Garage. Moreover many tracks has winks to French Yéyé music from the beginning of the 60's. All of that gives to this Garage compilation a very uncommon color in comparison to modern Garage.

Another very interesting element is despite this rather old school and falsely naive approach, in fact many tracks are quite interesting musically with uncommon and funny instruments plays and compositions. It's an excellent merge of false naive and old school with relative sophistication and originality mildly hidden. The whole is very fun, very refreshing and quite interesting. I applaud and with a little louder clapping for the he girls side which is the A side, and also for the special track concluding very well this compilation.

Unwed Teenage Mothers - Forever Until You Are Bones (Hiss Lab, 2013)

This four tracks EP is quite different than the previous band's releases that I listened, "Blonde Girls" LP and "If That's Love" EP both released in 2010, and an EP released in 2012 by Speaker Tree label.

It's still in Garage area but the tracks of this new EP are faster, more energetic and dirtier. They are also more Pop with catchier hooks including some vicious choirs. The result is sort of bombastic aggressive dirty Garage Pop quite funny and juicy!

Coyote Indigo - Horning (Self Release, 2013)

This is a Psychedelic Rock album by a Brazilian band. Its sound has a lot of relief and has a very clear sound color, this isn't common in this genre. There are many parts with saturated and sizzling guitars but the sound is very clear anyway. The frequent use of echo on the voice and the numerous saturation effects from the guitars do not build a noisy, dense or psych sound, they are just tools to compose the tracks and it's surprisingly fun and catchy.

In my opinion the album has a small imbalance in the tracks order. Basically the first part is very dynamic, has energy and hangs easily. While the second part is quieter and more difficult to listen. The effect is a bit strange and makes the second half a bit difficult to listen. By the third listening of the album I changed the tracks order to balance the album, I simply put the 4th track between the 6th and 7th tracks. For me this order is more effective and more balanced, if you also have this feeling of imbalance and that it bothers you, try this order a little different.

Anyway this is a beautiful album of Psychedelic Rock with a sound approach that gives some originality. You can listen it or download it for FREE at band's bandcamp page.

White Lodge - Demo Tape (Self Release, 2013)

The second best album of The Gun Club has just been released this year, and better, it's a very tasty Lo Fi Garage genre. That is a good news!! OK OK it is not the first album made by a zombie which would have gone out of its grave, nor even a lost and found tape. It's the first release of this new Australian band which has strong and assumed influences coming from The Gun Club but in a very dirty and very lo-fi Garage genre. That's not the only influence but this one is striking and the result quality proves that it's a great choice.

It's an excellent EP which half seems to consist of covers but that's original tracks. This kinship with The Gun Club is a quality, because every piece remains very different from what has done The Gun Club even if there's many strong echoes. The result is invigorating and the echoes which it can evoke increase even more the listening pleasure. It's very Lo Fi so remind to raise widely the sound volume to appreciate fully.

That's great stuff, enjoy, it's a free download at bandcamp.

To support the artists you can buy the cassette to the band, check their Facebook page for more information.

Mozes and the Firstborn - Mozes and the Firstborn (TopNotch, 2013)

This is the first album of this Dutch band. It's mildly Heavy Rock with a strong 70's color,  some laid back Grunge influences and a bit of Psychedelic on some tracks. If the tracks have most often a sort of simplicity, both in the style and in the complexity, there's also an excellent composition diversity along the album.

It's not that sort of album that instantly slap your face, instead it seems at first a bit harmless, that sort of second grade album, very pleasant to listen but that's it. But after more listens it grew on me quite a lot. I did notice that to fully enjoy it I need listen it with care, probably because it has a mildly laid back approach that doesn't drag back the attention easily. Anyway now it's great stuff for me.

You can listen it at band's bandcamp page, or it's a "choose your price" download at bandcamp, so don't hesitate to put 0 for a FREE download.

White Fence - Cyclops Reap (Castle Face, 2013)

No matter the manufacturing context of this album, only the result matters. If there are several echoes from the previous double album, on the other hand there is a surprising style evolution, it's crystalline Garage Rock. This is paradoxical but this is really the style of this album. Not only sounds are very pure, but even the dirty sounds are more symbolic dirt and become crackling from which the slightest vibration is clearly audible, acid sounds tend to be very clear, and noise is build with textures allowing to hear any detail of the weaving.

But the most impressive element building that crystalline Garage is coming from the orchestration, mixing and production. Most often there's two lines and sometimes three lines of guitars, there's the singing and few times two vocal lines, there's the percussions and sometime a bass, and all this is orchestrated and mixed with a surprising clarity. Every instrument, every effect and every note can be heard clearly. And in spite of all this sound clarity, the feeling that it's Garage is very present. Garage fans could be disappointed by this special approach of Garage, and the previous double album had tracks with a relatively similar approach, but they was only draft of what achieves this new album which is a kind of paradox.

Personally, even if I consider the previous double album is a masterpiece unmatched by this new release, I adore this new Cyclops Reap album which is unique including when it is compared to the previous album. For sure it would be even better with fewer echoes from this previous album. But it's just echoes, each past albums had also many echoes from the album that preceded it, and it's very far from cloning. Anyway, the point is it's a great unique crystalline Garage Rock album.

Die Zorros - Future (Voodoo Rhythm, 2012)

It's a rather special Garage Rock album by a rather special Swiss band. Firstly the style is special because it's supposed to be an album from a Garage band during the 60's that tried imagine Garage Rock in the far future. The result is both old school and weirdly modern.

Moreover, more than half of the songs are covers of classics or less classics from Rock history plus one from Jazz. But they are completely deconstructed and mistreated up to the point of being difficult to recognize, or at least the result is very different from the originals.

And the diversity of the covers is quite wide, from recent Pop to classic Pop and Rock, and even Metal, Jazz, Rockabilly and more: Amy Winehouse "No No No", Black Sabbath "Black Sabbath", The Rolling Stones "Paint It Black",  The Beatles "Walrus Eats Taxmen" , Morris Albert "Feelings", The Jive Boys "Hey Rockabilly", Herbert Jarczik "Der Komissar", Moody Blues "Nights In White Satin" and Rod Stewart "Sailing".

Although based on two funny and weird postulates, and from a band whose main goal is to have fun and to not take music seriously, the result is an excellent Garage Rock album and not common.

You can listen the album on some streaming sites, I noticed Deezer, Rdio and Spotify. Or you can preview it here but at a quality only a bit better than standard streaming, and be fair, if you like dig it, support the artists and don't forget to buy the album.

Little Seizures - s/t EP (Self Release, 2013)

It's an explosive and very enjoyable EP. The tracks have an impressive power that relies on an emphasis on graver sounds. This is built by games between the bass and the battery. This boosts the tracks by making them at the same time very powerful, bouncy and catchy.

The singer is excellent with a singing rather abrupt and rhythmic, the compositions are very good or excellent, and the whole is very dynamic and fast. At first it sounds a lot like Garage Rock that sounds differently, but there's very few work on sounds dirt and noise. Then Punk comes in mind, but it's partly only and rather by the aggressiveness of the singer and the brutality of the tracks, not by the sound color or instruments play.

This EP reminds me the big slap of last year with Ex-Cult album, while being very different. In fact I find this Little Seizures maybe even more a shock, but on the length of an EP it's difficult to compare with an album which is a bigger challenge.

Since the beginning of the year I enjoyed a lot many albums and EP, yet for me this EP is one of those that stand out of the pack, and it's one of the biggest slaps of the beginning of this year.

You can listen it on bandcamp. Or you can preview it here but at a quality only a bit better than standard streaming, and be fair, if you like dig it, support the artists and don't forget to buy the album.

Hookworms - Pearl Mystic (Gringo, 2013)

It's the first album of this Psychedelic Rock band from UK. Their first EP which preceded this album is interesting but it is dark and little catchy, this makes it difficult to listen. At the opposite this first album is strangely catchy and it makes wonder why it is so much fascinating.

Its genre, especially on the most energetic tracks, is to transpose Happy Mondays into a psychedelic more classic than what made Happy Mondays, and it's enough distant to Happy Mondays to not be a simple copy. The result is viciously catchy. A superficial listening can make it look slightly too classic, in fact the mixture gives a result not so common in Psychedelic Rock, and this makes it catchy to the point of being fascinating. This album is a superb success.

To listen: I noticed streaming sites like Deezer, Rdio or Spotify. Or 115k vbr v6 preview.

Beard Closet - Corporeal Economy (Self Release, 2013)

It's the third EP of this Canadian but this new EP has a totally different style than the two previous EP. It's a single track, but it lasts 15 minutes and it evolves a lot by chaining different parts, this gives it the weight of an EP.

The genre is in the center of a pyramid, textures used as drones, Psychedelic, Noise and a sort of modern symphony. The result is a long psychedelic track structured in a series of musical movements and with an uncommon sound color for Psychedelic because of the work around Noise sounds.

The EP is made with only one to three guitar lines, and the result is a surprising mixture of greatness and simplicity. The work on sounds, through drones, textures, sounds partly Noise is quite great and catchy.

The chain of rather different successive parts gives more dynamism than a more standard approach of a long psychedelic track, and it creates the feeling of a modern symphony. Also this frequent change of the music makes it more catchy by drawing the attention.

It's a single track but in the end it's a magnificent Psychedelic EP which is rather uncommon and surprisingly catchy.

derTANZ - Kaktusz (Self Release, 2013)

I listened multiple times and with a lot of pleasure that Hungarian band's first album. It's for me, interesting, fun and easy to listen. But many elements can make the listening quite difficult for many listeners, minimalism, experimental aspects, unconventional singing, compositions often build around repetitions and suspensions, compositions more focused on structures, rhythms and tones than on melodies. So yes I like a lot that album, but it's probably an album that will be difficult for many listeners.

The singing is one of the most important element of the album. It is quite special, varied and audacious if not provocative sometimes. It reminds me The Book Of Knots, in particular their album, Garden Of Fainting Stars released in 2011. And for me this gives an Art Rock mood to this derTANZ's album. Beside the special singing and the experimental aspects, another element gives this album an Art Rock mood, it's the emphasized games on the suspensions in some tracks. It's even more emphasized than did The Book Of Knots that also worked on this aspect in some of their tracks. In fact it's sometimes very strange with tracks with a long blank pause that is surprising and makes you wonder what happen and wait for what follows.

The band links their music to Noise and to some quite noisy bands. It's not fully right. Originally Noise has been used a lot for adding aggressiveness. And its evolution increased this approach. So often Noise uses many walls of sound and a lot of high-pitched and mildly high-pitched tones. That type of sound assaults the ears. It even reached a paroxysm during the first half of the 2000's and I don't mean experimental bands. I have been quite a big fan of Noise up to extremes during that period. But gradually I became a bit tired of it and then, later, I discovered modern Garage. In Garage and even more in modern Garage there's still a lot of work on sounds garbage and dirt, but it's more diverse than just for aggressiveness.

If derTANZ had used a classical Noise approach I wouldn't have enjoyed this album as much. But they rounded a lot their noise, gave up to use too standard walls of noise, moved the noise to more deep tones, and gave up focus the noise on pure attack of the ears to develop instead a noise quite closer to modern Garage approaches.

In the end, it's for me a surprising and very interesting album between Post Punk and Art Rock with some Post Hardcore influences, and I know nothing equivalent. It could please to adventurous ears, and perhaps to fans of Post Punk, Art Rock or Post Hardcore. For the others I'm not sure, but try it seems to be a good idea.

Lasso - Lasso'd (Double Phelix, 2011)

It's a magnificent album of Psychedelic Rock that would be a sort of symphonic Garage mixing very well dirt and greatness. But it's also Psychedelic Rock merged with numerous genres. All these genres aren't mixed together, but they are used according to the tracks and many tracks alternate various mixes. The evoked genres are for example, Country, Western Spaghetti, Soundtracks, Cabaret, Pub music, Classic, Gypsy, Asia, Surf, Mass, and more.

It's very diverse and very well merged and chained, so despite all this diversity, the album keeps a strong unity. The result is an original and very varied Psychedelic Rock Garage with a dirty greatness. A magnificent album, for me it's a classic that I store with the greatest Rock classics.

You can listen it on bandcamp, but I suggest skip one or two minutes of first track beginning because it's a part difficult to appreciate without a good sound quality. Or you can preview it here but at a quality only a bit better than standard streaming, and be fair, if you like dig it, support the artists and don't forget to buy the album.

Organ Eyes - Multibody (Bruised Tongue, 2013)

This is the first EP of this Canadian band, but with six tracks and 24 minutes it's almost a short album. This band is from Ottawa like Boyhood for which When I'm Hungry was reviewed in the blog, and both was released on the label Bruised Tongue. Multibody was released at the end of 2012 as a video. But it's only at beginning of 2013 that it's been properly released through the label.

At first listening I heard Dream Pop and though, again Dream Pop, an approach overused in many very popular genres... sigh. But without to understand why, I was glued and couldn't stop listening. At second listening it was obvious, it's far beyond a classical Dream Pop. There's an intense work on sounds, it's not flashy but it's constant and it changes significantly the music. This work is on the music as well as on the varied and relatively complex singing.

This work on sounds creates touches of originality, effects creating small gaps, oddities, changes of atmosphere, or simply additional games on sounds and textures adding another dimension to the music. All this adds a lot of depth to the music but also it builds a discrete but in-depth originality.

The compositions are very good, this is elegant without being too clean, on the contrary. The music brings some energy and some power building a contrast with the more aerial singing. The result is rather staggering and of an exceptional quality.

You can listen it on Bruised Tongue label bandcamp page. Or you can preview it here but at a quality only a bit better than standard streaming, and be fair, if you like dig it, support the artists and don't forget to buy the album.

Black Bug - Reflecting the Light (XVIII 2012, Hozac 2013)

This album of this Swedish group currently based in France was initially released in vinyl at the end of 2012 on a French label, XVIII. Recently Hozac re-released the album, at the same time for an American distribution of the vinyl but also for the CD and digital versions.

It's the second album of the group, but it is very different from the first one, and the composition of the band changed a little with the departure of the female singer. The first album was drier, a bit minimalist and more violent. This new album isn't minimalist, it is darker, more roundish and more powerful than violent. Sometimes it is a bit dancing, while keeping a Punk aggressiveness and dirtiness.

It's Post Punk with some New Wave elements but it hasn't the classic New Wave sonorities. It would be more between the first album of Chrome and a little the first album of The Sound while being very different to both. Another way of seeing its genre, it's powerful Synth-Punk a little Cold Wave that is a bit tenebrous but also a little bit dancing and catchy. It is a bit in the lineage of Joy Division including this dancing aspect on some tracks as in Joy Division's first album. But there too it is very different from what made Joy Division.

It's the quality of the tracks which makes this album excellent. It begins by chaining eight varied tracks and all are a slap. The track 10 is also excellent. On the other hand, for my ears, the tracks 9 and 11 are less strong without being bad. Anyway this album is listening in one breath and it is intoxicating so much it is excellent.

You can listen it on XVIII label bandcamp page. Or you can preview it here but at a quality only a bit better than standard streaming, and be fair, if you like dig it, support the artists and don't forget to buy the album.

To support the artists you can buy the vinyl either to XVIII label for Europe, either to Hozac label for America. You can also buy the CD to Hozac label. And you can buy the digital on the various standard places.

Thee MVP's - Philly Jammin (Stolen Body, 2013)

This is the second EP of this UK band and it is much better than the first. It's Garage Rock of an unusual style in contemporary Garage. Those last years Garage music was often dense which strengthens the Garage aspect. Here it's a Garage with more space and more variations of sound intensity. It gives it a very pleasant 70's color.

This space is in the structures of the tracks as well as the music with less sound density but with an excellent work on the dirty aspect to compensate.

Another significant aspect is how the tracks are very catchy with numerous riffs, sequences and vocal parts that are very effectives and catch quickly and firmly the attention.

With a first mildly distracted listening this EP could seem a bit good Garage but a bit common, but with some attention and by enjoying the very catchy aspect, it shows all its qualities. It's an excellent EP and with a style not common for its time.

You can listen it on Stolen Body label bandcamp page. Or you can preview it here but at a quality only a bit better than standard streaming, and be fair, if you like dig it, support the artists and don't forget to buy the album.

Walter TV - Appetite (Amdiscs, 2012)

For the anecdote, Mac DeMarco is a member of this Canadian band. It's really anecdotal because the music is totally different than the two albums of Mac DeMarco.

Some time ago I listened a lot this album and it was a shock. It is lively, dynamic and catchy but also very strange and with an excessive but heartening enthusiasm coming as well from the singing as from the music.

By listening it again with hindsight of a break of almost two months, I still hears the oddities, in fact mainly in the singing, but it seems to me much less strange but rather creative, original and varied. The strange singing became with hindsight a very original and not conventional approach.

It's a significant album, very special and full of enthusiasm, a kind of Arcade Fire first album in a Lo-Fi crazy version and probably more creative or at least more varied.

It's a "choose your price" download at bandcamp. So don't hesitate to put 0 for a free download, or to support the artists you can put the price you want. You can also buy the cassette at Amdiscs label.

Joy As A Toy - Dead As A Dodo (Cheap Satanism, 2012)

 

The original idea of this Belgian group was to have fun by making an album which mixes the zombies movies themes with Pop / Rock. But in the end it's much more than an amusement, it's an astonishing success, the best mixture of this kind which I ever listened. The Italian band Goblin did same kind of mixture and their best albums are doubtless more ambitious, but they sin a little by an excess of abstraction making them a little abstruse and a bit difficult to listen out of the context of the movie for which they were made.

So this Dead As A Dodo is a mixture of Pop / Rock with sounds and music themes from horror movies, and what is great is that it's a real mixture and not just some horror movies sounds pasted on a music. And even better, it is fun, very seductive and quite audacious which adds even more spice. This is a rare album and a wonderful success.

You can listen it on Cheap Satanism label bandcamp, or on various streaming sites, I noticed Deezer, Rdio and Spotify. Or you can preview it here but at a quality only a bit better than standard streaming, and be fair, if you like dig it, support the artists and don't forget to buy the album.

Maston - Shadows (Trouble In Mind, 2013)

It's the first album of Maston after two EP released in 2011 and 2012. It's also the first release of Maston on a label, Trouble In Mind. The second EP, Voyages, is rather psychedelic, but this is much less obvious for this album. In fact I have difficulty to pinpoint the genre of this album and I feel it out of any genre.

On certain tracks there's a light psychedelic touch. Often it evokes a soundtrack of an unknown movie. Sometimes there are subdued echos by a fanfare or a circus music but on a light mode which is contradictory with this music genre. Some faint echoes are from Country or Western music. And vocals often remind a 60's Pop a bit psychedelic, but it sounds more modern. However if it evokes many music genres, they are always fleeting echoes, and no track of the album belongs clearly to one of these genres.

In a way it remind me another Pop album, François Elie Roulin - Parade released in 2005 on the label Bizarbizar. I don't know why, perhaps because both are merging Pop with some genres like Soundtrack, Fanfare, old school Pop, or Western. But on Shadows those mixes are more echoes and on Parade the mixes are more obvious and it's more clearly pure Pop.

In comparison with the previous EPs the album has a denser music, it is better produced and has more vivacity. That's why it is probably ideal to discover this author a little apart. However for the fans of psychedelic, the second EP, Voyages, is probably more recommended because it is more clearly psychedelic.

It's an excellent album, it is original and of an uncertain genre. And in an improbable way, it is at the same time a bit dreamy and dynamic. Its genre is a little but not completely, a mixture of a slightly psychedelic Pop from the 60's, a Soundtrack which would be a bit from a Western movie but not really, and with lost echoes from a distant circus fanfare.

To listen: I noticed on bandcamp here, or on standard streaming sites. Or 115k vbr v6 preview.

Rainbow Gun Show - Not Quite A Butterfly (Self Release, 2012) & Cinderella Sizzle 7″ (Hozac, 2013)

 

This is an album, Not Quite A Butterfly, for now only released in digital on bandcamp,  and a single 7" vinyl extracted from this album and released in two versions by Hozac, you can get the 7" vinyls at Hozac label here.

This album is like something that couldn't exist anymore, and so great. It's pure Pop, a genre that I'm not fan of since a long time, but each time I listen it I have a big smile on my face from beginning to ending. It's the third album of the group but with this album the group makes an enormous step forward.

With seven tracks and a duration close to 25' it's almost an album. But in fact, some tracks like "The Strange Age" include the material of three tracks if not more. So for its quantity of creativity, quality and fun, it's a big album. :-) It's a very varied Pop on the tracks of Beach Boys and Beatles, not less, but it's incredible that, despite those too well-known references, it can sound so fresh and so new, it's staggering. This aspect, both refreshing and new, comes especially from a big work on the sounds which transfigures the music.

Beatles at their time was used to work on sounds, and also on the ambivalence, sweet versus salty. For an example of work on sounds during Beatles time I could also quote The Monks great first album released in 1966, Black Monk Time. But in term of music style, the mainstream references I used above are much more pertinent. On this Rainbow Gun Show album the work on sounds is widely amplified thanks to the tools which are now available. At Beatles time pure work on sounds was an important element to build a mood, reinforce a style or add spice to a track. But now, at least like on this album (and some others), it becomes an integral part of the composition of the tracks. And the games between sweet and salty are quite amplified on this contemporary album, this is necessary for very blasé contemporary ears.

You can listen the album on bandcamp here. It's not a free download but the minimum price is only 1$. Or you can preview it here but at a quality only a bit better than standard streaming, and be fair, if you like dig it, support the artists and don't forget to buy the album.
