teeth mountain

teeth mountain ~ live on (not not fun 2009)

"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

high wolf ~ animal totem (not not fun 2009)

"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

ganglians ~ s/t (woodsist 2009)

"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

dopo - blue lands (test tube 2009)

«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”, “For the Entrance of the Sun” ou “Crossing Birds” 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

sun araw - heavy deeds lp (not not fun 2009)
"*Blue Vinyl* Sun Araw - and the Not Not Fun label in general for that matter - are becoming ever more essential with each release. Heavy Deeds is the latest dubbed-out, tropical psych missive from this far-out collective, featuring an increasingly mature approach to experimental queasiness, which on this occasion is reminiscent of fellow solar travellers Sunburned Hand Of The Man knocking heads together with Sun Ra. There's some incredible wah-wah funk to be found here, jostling amongst a barrage of synapse-frazzling sound effects, clunking semi-tribal rhythms and gospel drone. And it's housed in another killer sleeve to boot..." boomkat

wrugs - braided gas ep (selfreleased 2009)

"After several name changes and a couple of musical rebirths, the dust has settled and Wrugs prevail. Kyle Poff, one of the founders, and old college peer of mine, sent me this teaser of an EP. Coming in at just over 8 minutes, I'm teleported for a very short time into a native land where the cannibals give you coffee and ask you about your favorite colors. They want to get to know you. I mean, really know you." test pilots

pefkin - zugunruhe [sound & fury 2009]

"We've been a fan of Pefkin's delicate dreamscapes for a long time, and as such we're immensely proud to be able to present Zugunruhe. With its combination of processed guitar, free-form percussion, haunting vocals and analogue electronics, Zugunruhe is a beautiful collection of tracks that walks that ever-narrowing path between pop songs and pure abstraction." sound & fury

dreamcolour

dreamcolour - white light (cdr 2009)

"A blues/folk/soul inspired combination of improvised sessions. Natalie Alyse lends her lovely voice to assorted grooves, Robert Magill adds some death-folk and the rest weave a psychedelic soul."

"Dreamcolour reflects a collective of musicians from Ventura County, California. The concept is to heal and lift the spirits and souls of human beings from all walks of life, with the fiery expression of collective free improvisation. We aim to bring back the trance-inducing vibrations, frequencies and rhythms used by the ancient shamans and spiritual healers of the past, but also to experiment with and incorporate the scientific advances of the present and future, relating music as a direct pathway to the human spirit and as a healing force in the universe." dreamcolour

black flowers - i grew from a stone to a statue (bo'weavil 2009)

"The music references repeatedly the cyclical nature of life, in both the form and the lyrics. "I've seen them all rise and fall." With that, the inevitable break in the cycle. "For the Lord knows who must die." Another reminder to live in the now. And this is what it sounds like." bo'weavil

tiny vipers

tiny vipers - life on earth (sub pop 2009)

"Isolate yourself, cover your head with a snug pair of headphones, turn off all the lights, and light a candle. It’s the best way to listen to Life on Earth, Tiny Vipers’ sophomore album. Jesy Fortino, the one-woman wonder behind Tiny Vipers, is an unassuming young songwriter. She huddles over her guitar and avoids eye contact with her audience, but her thoughts are revealed through song. The Seattle-based musician relishes in a certain simplicity in her old folk tunes, and the shimmering emptiness of her haunting voice and stark picking of guitar say a lot without overwhelming. Fortino recorded Life on Earth in an analog studio in Austin, Texas...Yet the album as a whole is sadly beautiful, a trap of ghostlike webs that carries you to a dark, timeless place." danielle

"Tiny Vipers is Jesy Fortino, a musician living in Seattle. Since her last and first album, 2007’s Hands Across the Void, she has been back and forth across Europe, on tours into and through the United States, transfixing audiences into a solemn hush. Transcending the mere folk tag, Fortino draws from disparate inspirational sources, from the avant-garde or from country musician Townes Van Zandt..." sub pop

wand - hard knox, or are you sure hank jr done it this way? (ecstatic peace 2009)

"To quickly address the elephant in the room - certainly, collections of demos, outtakes and home recordings are mostly bogus, but obviously you're reading this, so obviously I've somehow been coerced into releasing this batch of tunes, and you've bought it or stolen it or borrowed it or gotten a promo or whatever, so let's cut to the chase. In my defense, all of the cuts contained herein are 'songs' in the traditional western sense - my experiments in "surf harmonica" and "doom zydeco" will not be chronicled here, deep and plentiful as those archives may be...You've already pardoned the narcissism, now pardon the cliche: I stand behind these songs as snapshots" and enjoy them despite their many flaws. I hope you do, too." The Wand, Nashville

es tan bonito y perfecto que no puedo destacar nada, o sí... lady of situations ('it might be too late to smile and turn when she smiles on you, it might be too late to paint the bottom of your boat blue'), all these generous men (con la preciosa voz de su mujer, jexie lynn), trails (los coros de jexie...), urchins (los coros de Jexie...), saturday delivery (james corea mirando al cielo mientras rasca su pierna como si fuera una guitarra...)

"v"

''v'' - we are crossing fences through rocky fields (housecraft 2008)

"High altitude glass ceiling echoes over low canopy woodland daze via wind, string, and buried vox. Perfect for misty morning tent warp and disappearing acts. And there's a bonus track this time around." housecraft

"The barest music can sometimes be the most beautiful. Just like Meursault last year, "V" delivers something truly exceptional from what seems at first to be very little. There are rippling pools of sweet melody here, with spaces in between to absorb the effects and the surrounding harmonies. It doesn't take long for you to be silenced by this delightful music." noiseisafriend

amen dunes

amen dunes - dia lp (locust 2009)

"A lot of crazy shit can happen to a man when he goes solitary in a ramshackle Catskill Mountain home for an extended stretch of time-especially for a city kind of guy. But if Amen Dunes's 12 tracker Dia is one possible outcome of the guy alone-in-a-cabin- story, then a little tape saturated brain frying is something we should all live comfortably with because this is a batch of seriously raw & inspired loner psych grit. That was 2006. These days the lone wolf behind Amen Dunes, Damon McMahon, calls a small two room apartment overlooking the Temple of Earth in North-Central Beijing home, where he watches old men fly kites and sing opera every morning. Who knows what'll come out of that." locust

hoy es un buen día para recordar a greg ashley, valerio sartori, cherry blossoms, kurt vile...a través de amen dunes. como ellos, dia transmite algo especial, atemporal (sobre todo a partir de 'patagonian domes'), algo absolutamente maravilloso

master musicians of bukkake - totem one (conspiracy 2009)

"...Like a reverse dark side of the new age sound, on the Totem series Master Musicians of Bukkake perform ritualistic electric excursions into the outer and inner reaches. Relying more on the electric power of psyched guitars, analog synth chants, and exotic heavy percussion. Totem one echos with the delusions of a West Coast Death cult. Outer spaced Gamelan, dusty fuzz rock from celestial deserts, meditations of a deranged Krishna gathering, and the Blurry acoustic guitar majesty of The Cascade mountains all reveal themselves here in epic form On Totem One. Every sound and note played put to tape by a group with a singular purging purpose. Totem one also features Vocals By Master Musicians of Bukkake honorary member Alan Bishop of the Sun City Girls...." conspiracy records
