Grimes – Art Angels 
REVIEW REBLOG – p0stm0rtem – NIPPOP
Finally posted this review : D
Many thanks to Yeah I Know it Sucks.
Artist: p0stm0rtem
title: NIPPOP
keywords: experimental,japan,abstract,ambient,avantgarde,pop, electronic,improvised, korea,leftfield, Toronto
reviewer: Willem van O.
Music can be anything, and everything. Sometimes it might be even so much everything and anything that it turns into a complete thing of its own. This is a way to describe the music captured on this release here by p0stm0rtem. You probably had heard of her as some of the reviewers out here tipped this artist as the potential winner of artist of the year. but as they are all a biased bunch, I wanted to check it out with my own honest ears. hope you will stay with me and appreciate this rare effort.
my notes on the first track are barely a couple of scribbles, but yet enough to knit a few sentences from. the abstract electronic experimental music has something minimal to it, but more importantly it gave me (according to my note…

REVIEW REBLOG – Lisa Busby ~ Fingers in the Gloss
Courtesy to A Closer Listen for the review reblog.
If you sleep in an oyster long enough, you become a pearl. And this is exactly what happened to Lisa Busby, who is “not the same woman.” But fear not! Shards of the old Lisa remain. She’s still calcium carbonate under all that shimmer. We never forget our roots.
Long-time readers already know the reference. Sleeps in Oysters was one of our favorite musical duos of the last decade. Don’t you worry, John fans ~ he’s swimming languorously in The Lumen Lake, while Lisa’s been floating on the good ship Rutger Hauser. She is not an excessive girl. This is how we know they still get along. Now that summer’s over, Lisa’s been hanging out in bakeries and mortuaries, recording beautifully non-linear music. No A-A-B-A here. More like X-Z-Q-Q. Everybody knows those are the coolest letters.
By virtue of her music, Lisa scores a non-linear review. Follow…

REVIEW REBLOG – Agnès Pe – Método para Enya: el fluir del Orinoco
Courtesy to Yeah I Know it Sucks for this review.
artist: Agnès Pe
title: Método para Enya: el fluir del Orinoco
keywords: enlightment, experimental, electronic, Enya, devotional, blinding, light, music, video, experimental
Agnès Pe is next to someone with experimental musical skills, an creative individual with a special gift. She has a special magical power that could potentially blind you, me and others. This she can do by pointing her hands in a way that a blinding ray of light could shoot out like bright laser beams.
I know it sounds ridiculous and I totally agree that you cannot make such a thing up… And that’s why it’s the truth, and nothing but the truth. Of course there is evidence, but this evidence comes with a great risk. In fact watching the evidence might be so damaging to your eyes, that it might be the last thing you will ever see. Is it worth the risk of losing your eye…

REVIEW REBLOG – Kate Carr ~ I had myself a nuclear spring
Courtesy to A Closer Listen for the reblog of the Review.
No stranger to creative formatting, sound artist Kate Carr has just released her latest work on a USB flash drive, housed in an aluminum tin. While it may suggest smuggled secrets from Spectre, these recorded sounds are meant to be shared.
On the surface, the album is about the Seine, but in this case, the river is viewed from an unusual angle. As Carr puts it, the landscape is “almost apocalyptic.” She continues, “These muddy marshes filled with buzzing electrical towers, corroded machinery, shrieking birds and canals feeding a nuclear complex were like nothing I had ever seen.” Local electromagnetism made even hydroponic recordings difficult, as heard in the ghostly, feedback-laden “The darkness of riverbeds”.
Carr presents a mixture of field recordings and light musical adornment ~ a guitar line here, a subdued beat there. The sources of the electronics are harder to discern, as they may have been born…

REVIEW REBLOG – Hyaena Fierling & Comrades – Emissaries
Strange ethereal wonder this and thanks to this review, Hyaena Fierling is Todays Discovery.
Artists: Hyaena Fierling & Comrades
title: Emissaries
keywords: experimental, soundscape, sound art, poetry, sound poetry, electroacoustic,
label: suRRism-Phonoethics
Hyaena Fierling’s ‘madrigal for sugar dogs’ begins with an atmospheric soundscape that comes across warm and mysterious. It feels natural and yet unnatural at the same time; something human made with the moving sounds similar to a damp propellor from a helicopter and rare daft firework explosions in the deep backdrop. Then voices appear as if they are sirens of first aid ambulances making their noises in the warm atmospheric surreal darkness. Somehow these sirens are not the sounds of an emergency response as they seemingly come across as if they actually quite enjoy themselves.
With ‘Sunrise in Utopia’ Hyaena Fierling gets joined by MUTATE to deliver a fierce and yet roaming track of warrior-like awakening. It’s as if the grainy color on the artwork is being penetrated by glorious hand drumming…

REVIEW REBLOG – Notes On… ‘Art Angels’ by Grimes
Here is review number two courtesy of Notes on Sounds…
“When you get bored of me I’ll be back on the shelf” sings Claire Boucher on one of her poppiest and catchiest tunes to date, ‘California.’ Luckily for her, Grimes isn’t likely to be put on to the shelf anytime soon. Her fourth LP Art Angels has been three years in the making, and halfway through that process she claimed to have thrown out a whole album’s worth of material for it not being good enough. More recently, she said that she found her older works “embarrassing.” Apparently she found listening to the likes of ‘Oblivion’ cringe worthy.
That must have left fans of Boucher’s a bit worried. Her last, breakthrough album Visions was a sometimes abrasive but often intelligent dive into harsher electronic, analogue territory, moving on from the double-whammy of synth-experiments Halfaxa and Geidi Primes in 2010 and her collaborative LP with d’Eon, Darkbloom. In…

REVIEW REBLOG – Notes On… ‘Clean’ By The Japanese House
A couple of electro pop artist reviews today courtesy of Notes on Sound – a new site promoting primarily but not wholly new and undiscovered indie artists. Found a couple of posts that I can happily share here.
In March, a mysterious figure called The Japanese Housereleased their first-ever track, ‘Still.’ It was a minimal, moody piece of work from a person who clearly loved using vocoders and enjoyed experimenting with auto-tune (in a good way). At the time it was quite difficult to garner any information about the shadowy figure behind the project, yet the track still got one of its first major plays on one of Zane Lowe’s last Radio 1 shows. It soon emerged that The Japanese House was the project of 20-year-old Londoner Amber Bain, and on her debut EP Pools To Bathe In, released in April, she’d made a short collection of tunes that were atmospheric, emotional and touched on a wide range of genres.
Her latest effort, Clean, might come just a few months after her debut but it shows that Bain is far from being short on ideas…

REVIEW REBLOG – Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith – Tides
I have loved the sound of Kaitlyn Aurelia Smiths’ music for some time, (a lot to do with the use of the Buchla Music Easel) ever since I first heard the track Sundry and this review has prompted me to make her the Artist of the Week.
Artist: Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith
title:Tides
keywords: experimental, electronic
Tides by Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith is a remarkable pleasant release for the ears and the inner soul. It opens up with the calm easy going birds exploring the temperatures of a lovely day; but instead of having just nature do its thing it’s the artist’s lovable kindness in music that will make the inner hearts smile. Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith manages to use limited sounds to bring a melodically minimalism that seems to breath in and out love in the kindest order. It’s as if the artist captured the senses of naive innocence of a beautiful wishful day in natural surroundings; it’s soft, kind and cherishing.
This is not just the beginning if this amazingly soothing record; it’s a feeling that IS this record. In each ‘Tides’ track the artists explores a theme that is lovable and kind, the music that makes…
