Five New MUST-HEAR Longplayers Selected By TURN UP THE VOLUME!…

New longplayers that will have an impact on your ears and your speakers…

1/ ‘Endless Scroll’ by BODEGA (Brooklyn, New York, US)
These spiritual sons and daughters of jingle jangle junks Parquet Courts spit and sneer sharper, rougher and hookier than their older mentors do right now. They sound like if Talking Heads and Tom Verlaine’s Television were punks rather than new wavers. Long live young bands! Long live uncompromised debut albums! Long live shout and scream funk!

2/ ‘Night Swimming’ by DENTIST (Asbury Park, New Jersey, US)
Dentist is a DIY indie trio from the oceanfront urban landscape of Asbury Park in New Jersey. ‘Night Swimming’ is their third and definitely best LP (so far). An avalanche of amplified pop firecrackers. Electrifying strokes, from flaming earworms to romantic meditations with Emily Bornemann ‘s striking voice in the middle of the overall flamboyant guitar injected performances. The summer isn’t over yet. And here’s is its surfy and swinging soundtrack.

3/ ‘Tiiime’ by AH GOD (Portland, Oregon, US)
On first hearing I taught this LP was made by and for straitjacket patients. After two spins I was totally sure this LP was made by and for straitjacket patients. What you get is a mental melting pot of mind-twisting DIY distortion, stoner hullabaloo and brain-cracking havoc. Perfect sonic survival noise! And so much cheaper than those money-greedy psychiatrists.

4/ ‘Jessica’s Brother’ by JESSICA’S BROTHER (London, UK)
The self-titled debut album by this London trio, led by singer/songwriter Tom Charleston is an overall triumph. Mixed emotions wrapped in alt Americana like song structures. From amplified balladry (Humdinger) to ramshackle rock (Overnight Horror). Passionate intensity for heart & soul reminding me of Neil Young‘s pitch-black masterpiece ‘Tonight’s The Night‘.

5/ ‘Shivelight’ by MISHAPED PEARLS (London, UK)
I just discovered this highly compelling folk/roots/world-music album, released last
May, only a couple of days ago. What an impressive find! Different moods, different
colors, different sonic visions and different spiritual voices. From poppy to psychedelic.
From elevating to reflective. From adventurous Kate Bush moments to chill out Broken
Social Scene sentiments. A truly captivating record with several shiny pearls. Arresting!

Portland’s Distorted Noise Rockers ‘AH GOD’ Strike With New Booming Track ‘V-I-I’…

Daily fuel to load your sonic batteries…

17 July 2018

AH GOD are a trio of noise rockers with a greedy appetite for distortion, producing “heavy art grunge and fuzzed-out psychedelia with a DIY recording ethic and heavy drum beats carried to your ears softly and sweetly on the backs of stoney guitar melodies of the utmost sensuality.” Sounds totally challenging and mind-twisting to my hungry ears.

Rowdy new track V-I-I confirms all the aforementioned promises. “A fun way of fleshing out how to become a part of the world and enjoy love, life and the whole of the human experience in the face of mental illness and existential terror.” says the band.

It’s a hefty stomper that sticks immediately. A hazy banger that infiltrates your ear-system without asking. A short but impressive reflection of the overall engrossing bravado on upcoming, third album called TIIIME.

We are all pale flowers in a grey garden
I want mine to die sometimes, it aint big enough to keep my heart in
Wet tongue sliding out of your mouth
into the other, I get it, to get off oh I get it now

You know I would not be alive
But my V-I-I keeps me in your eyes

Roman numerals up to 77
Spray painted on the walls of my one one one true heaven
Squish the spit between your fingertips
D-I-F What’s the dif anyway? No one seems all that different

You know I would not be alive
but my V-I-I keeps me in your eyes

I tried to eat up all of your sunflowers
Didn’t really like the taste of the leaves but with the idea I was pleased
Never be a peach more than a god
Let the guilt spill out let your brain brain brain go get gone

You know I would not be alive
But my V-I-I keeps me in your eyes
