Speaking of labels and unexpected signings, True Widow and Relapse doesn’t seem like the most intuitive of pairings and I’m unsure where the group’s brand of droney, stoney rock n’ roll fits into the “point, click, grind” mentality. We’re being facetious of course. Down with impotent genre tags and narrow-minded music listening. This is going [...]
What a fucking headtrip. This is the weirdest and inexplicably, the most wonderful, thing I have heard so far this year (and probably the year before that). Stream two tracks below, I won’t try to explain. You can read a thorough review from Brad Rose when you purchase this over at experimedia.net. If you’re elsewhere, go [...]
Somehow, Thrill Jockey seems to continue to confound my expectations. At the time, the signing of Liturgy seemed like a hard left turn for the label. Now they’ve got a new album from The Body on the way and then there’s this… a huge, metallic dirge of a drone album from Wrekmeister, known by his [...]
Feel good music for the summertime! Just kidding, this charred and unforgiving noise will drive you into an asphyxiating depression as severe as the gnarliest of pollen-induced, allergy attacks. Herukrat debuts on Svn Okkvlt, now a fully functioning label, with Alleviation Prayer serving as the inauguration of their existence. Available at fallenempirestore.bigcartel.com. Stream a track on [...]
Handmade Birds pull another classic album from the past and into the light of the modern day for a much needed reissue. This “darkwave” classic from Lycia is now available as a double LP on black or “milky clear with brown haze” vinyl from the label’s new distributor: thrilljockey.com. Make sure to request what color vinyl [...]
Metasplice drop a pretty much unannounced 2xLP of noise-afflicted, brain-grinding techno, just like that. You can order this right now at redeyerecords.co.uk or boomkat.com, but if you live in the US like me you can wait for our pal Jeremy over at experimedia.net to pick up copies. We’ve been pushing a lot of electronic records this [...]
Bathetic continues their weird and wonderful winning streak with the debut LP from Kwaidan. Following up on a sprawling and dense cassette release on Accidental Guest Recordings, André Foisy (Locrian), Mike Weis (Zelienople) and Neil Jendon turn in an album of metallic, cathartic drone. Now available to pre-order at batheticrecords.com.
We’ve been waiting a few years for a new album from Pan•American. Well, it’s finally hear and it’s no slouch. I can’t wait to spin this through countless hours of insomnia and fever dreams during the coming years, much as I did with the last one. Pick up the new 2xLP from kranky.net.
Immune Recordings have just posted 15 copies of their Record Store Day 7″ featuring Lakes of Grass and Gold and Svarte Greiner. Masterfully executed, dark and droning atmospheres. Act fast if you’d like one of these — they probably will not last long! Visit immunerecordings.net. You can stream the full EP here.
Along with Further, Opal Tapes is our other go-to tape label at OMGV HQ. Unfortunately, these can be a little difficult to get your mitts on sometimes… everything, and I mean everything, is sold out from the label. Experimedia stocked a good portion of their recent catalog last week, and that’s all pretty much gone [...]
