Don’t Mess With Chainsaw Girls ALICE & ALICE…

Posted on by JL

28 May 2021

Artist: ALICE LONGYU GAO
Who: A resilient DJ, songwriter, record producer and
performance art practitioner girl from China, living
in Los Angeles. Longyu means “dragon and universe,”
her last name Gao means “magnificent.”

New single: LEGEND

Brand new cut featuring Goa‘s heroine Alice Glass.

“I saw Alice Glass added my song to her Spotify profile playlist. As a longtime
fan of hers, I couldn’t believe my little songs got my icon’s attention. I thought
a rad Alice x Alice song would be unstoppable. So I immediately reached out
and sent 3 ideas I made for a potential collaboration with her. I highlighted
LEGEND – ALG Mix’s demo specifically because I just knew this one was the one.

Alice Glass and Jupiter Keyes worked with me remotely and they made the final
LEGEND come together as an incredible and empowering song. I want this song
to equip underrated girls with confidence. We are the source of creativity, love and
justice. Never seek validation from people who are insecure in themselves. They are
never going to show love and they are going to do you wrong. Stay queen and avoid
the toxicity.”

Get ready for a booming banger, a sharp-cutting-and-knife-edged
rap rant. Warning: don’t mess with chainsaw duo Alice & Alice.

Fuck you if you insecure
Bitch I’m fucking Alice
I know, you talking shit you embarrassed
I know, you mad cause I’m the raddest
You could never catch me in Lululemon

Tsunami Of Industrial Noise Drones – Test Your Ears With ‘A NEW ONTOLOGY OF EVIL’ By PRIMTIVE KNOT

Posted on by JL

28 May 2021

Band: PRIMITIVE KNOT
Who: Enigmatic one-man-band
obsessed by dark spirituality

Album: A NEW ONTOLOGY OF EVIL

New ideas
Old fears resurface
The architecture of the mind
Asserts itself
Shaping the land
Constructing the earth
In our own image

Turn Up The Volume: Imagine Nine Inch Nails in a drone contest versus
Ministry with Front202 as the jury. Get the mind-blowing picture? Prepare
your noise-addicted ears for a tsunami of deafening intimidations, repetitive
Kraut-sludge-rock aggression and slash and crash sledgehammers. Would be
a perfect soundtrack for horror classic The Return of the Living Dead. If you
don’t want to end up in jail you better alert your neighbours before you press
play. Capice, all you EVIL motherrockers out there waiting for Doomsday?

Rapid eye movement video for highlight for Goddess, Destroyer

Five Firecrackers To STAY ON TRACK IN THE WEEKEND!

Posted on by JL

5 new firecrackers to boost your favorite 48 hours…

‘Psalm 23’ by COLD CAVE (L.A./New York)
This darksome Krautrock groove gets under your skin from the get-go and moves like a
nasty serpent. From the nightmare rockers’ new EP Fate In Seven Lessons out 11 June.

Press play…

‘Under The Waves’ by FUZZY LIGHTS (Cambridge, UK)
The song deals with the devastation of coral reefs, ocean resources, and our natural world. It’s a multi-waves-layered cruise, with featherlight romantic vocals à la The Sundays‘ lovely vox Harriet Wheeler, violin flashes, gusty drums and a charged guitar finale. This is a band that cares about nature and their music. From the band’s new 4th album Buriels.

Enjoy here…

‘The Garden’ by 3 LITTLE WOLVES (Birmingham)
Sounds like a little symphonic psych-rock trip starting with a rambling drum riff
that comes and goes and ghostly vocals floating all over it. Sonic spiritually, that
grows on you after a couple of plays.

Here’s why…

.
‘Born 2 Boogie’ by SUNSHINE & THE BLUE MOON
Some are born to be wild, some are born 2 boogie as did the late great Marc Bolan
(T. Rex) back in the 70s and these Canadians know how to move and groove too. Glorious organ, glorious flow, glorious swagger, glorious vocals. From their upcoming album, out 25th June.

Turn it up right here…

‘How Dare You Want More’ by BLEACHERS (NYC)
Jack Antonoff and his band premiered this new track on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show.
A tremendously uptight tune with a shake & swing sax climax. From upcoming album
Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night.

Dance here…

See/hear you next week, music junkies…
