drmwpn

"Drmwpn started as a Town and Country side-project in 2004 and has been growing ever since. It has always been understood that Drmwpn are playing a tune but that keeps getting more and more open as the group grows. The Brion Gyson Dreamachine has always been the focus onstage. The line up for Drmwpn on this recording is : Josh Abrams - Guimbri; Jim Dorling - Leslie Voice Electronics; Steve Krakow - Banjo; Mahjabeen - Kalimba; Dan Mohr - Voice Organ; Liz Payne - String Bass; Adam Vida - Cymbals; Ben Vida - Electric Guitar; Sam Wagster - Lap Steel Guitar & Michael Zerang - Drums" apollolaan
"...the sound is deep, slow-moving and beautifully brain-erasing, with aspects of Pelt and The No-Neck Blues Band as well as Spacemen 3, Velvet Underground & LaMonte Young..." volcanic tongue

pocahaunted

"What are the secret origins of Pocahaunted?...I guess there are no cool secret origins of the band. The name was in a dream of mine, and weirdly in that dream, I was in a band with Bethany. I barely knew her then, we’d never played music together and didn’t have any plan to start. I called her to hang out the next day and she was sitting on my couch, I just looked into her eyes and said ‘Your in this band with me now, it’s called Pocahaunted’. She laughed at me (obviously) but it worked." amanda brown

teeth mountain

"A seven-piece jam crew comprised of 2-3 odd drum kits, sax, clarinet, mixer drones, electric guitar, a pile of pedals, various voices, and probably other unknown mystery junk, they straddle a fine, fucked up line between carefully orchestrated rhythmic psychedelia and total drum-circle-damaged freeform freak-sprawl...Two all-new sides of artfully interwoven live recordings encompassing all the band’s best moods: outsider world scorch, jittery horn ragas, basement attack trance, etc. Raw and real and alive as life." nnf
"...Baltimore collective Teeth Mountain weave a mighty tapestry of hypnotic tribal rhythms and experimental John Cale-esque violin scratches. 'Live On' is an onslaught of syncopated drum rhythms that dominate the mix that also includes plenty of guitar drone ambience, strange feedback episodes and some sounds I couldn't possibly identify..." normanrecords

high wolf

"For some reason unexpected pleasures are superior to the expected variety, at least 9 times outta 10. And so it was when we happened upon the dizzy/fizzy music of French loop enthusiast High Wolf for the first time, regarding whom we had zero preconceived notions. Cheers to open minds/ears then, cause the High Wolf audio worldview is weird and wobbly and one that should appeal to all lovers of tripped out, swelter-zone equatorial electronics. Animal Totem is High Wolf’s debut release, and it piles wavy, tranced keyboard melodies one on top of the other into a pulsing ritual heap of colored smoke. Elsewhere he slips in sunset fuzz-guitar lines and temple meditation tones and even dangles down some flanger-flecked synthetic percussion like a bunch of mellow yellow bananas. Take a look up/down/all-around. Overall it’s a rich, ripe rumble in the escapist-psych jungle." nnf

ganglians

"Sacramento's Ganglians want an island somewhere where they can soak in the sun and prowl the canopy by night. It's not often that they do get out, but they can get down for that. Recording sometimes as one, sometimes as four it's a real game to figure out where the entity comes from and where it's going. First and foremost it's about uncertain pleasures. It's a bit like choose your own adventure. There's "codeine balladry"; a slightly upsetting tempo that is quickly flushed into an aural high, the next moment you're in the toy strewn abyss of the bedroom and then out to the tribal caves of the natives. The planets align and the sun beats down, palms tingling, and you are on the island they've built, the scenery constantly shifting for a better view, of you." woodsist

dopo

«Subterranean valleys and peaks, showcasing the duality of chaos and order, cobbled beats overlaid with environmental recordings and slightly arrhythmic acoustics. Personal yet ethereal, places where memories are made, only to decay or change, subtly but significantly, over time. A travel-friendly atmosphere, a little melancholy and homesick, but excited for different frontiers. (9/10)» foxy digitalis
«Tenho para mim, sinceramente, que cada novo disco dos Dopo deve ser seguido de forte comemoração; pela energia - interior e exterior; pelo espírito criativo; um pouco por tudo. Infelizmente, esta é também uma viagem que termina aqui. “Blue Lands” é o documento final de uma aventura sonora iniciada algures pelo ano de 2004. Mas para já, e depois de discos sempre surpreendentes como “Last Blues, To Be Read Someday” (Test Tube, 2005), “For the Entrance of the Sun” (Test Tube, Lovers & Lollypops, 2007) ou “Crossing Birds” (Foxglove, 2007), os Dopo deixam-nos com este “Blue Lands”. Belíssimo. Como sempre, são momentos de interior diversão, criativos, são momentos de intensa exploração ambiental, de vivências. Às vezes triste, outras vezes não, sempre Dopo. É pena!» a trompa
