It’s ... almost astonishingly good.

no gimmicks. Just good, weird, genre-bending hip-hop. And I love weird hip-hop.

I feel like the first track is all you really need to hear, and that most sane people will keep listening after that. Hell of an intro track.

I am not sane, but that's no news
Stopped listening after 2.5 minutes

Disappointing but whatever

New Kim Petras single tonight. She has already dropped 4. I hope the album comes soon. Dying to hear it.

Uffie has a new track. I hope that means there will be an album. She already put out a 7 track ep this year. Her last album was 2011 so it is a possibility.

[The Soup Nazi]

The wait is over. Kind of. Out now: Sleater-Kinney, "Hurry On Home".

 

The song, produced by St. Vincent, is available via your favorite tunes dispenser (on Bandcamp it's in 24/48); the physical 7" will be out in August and its b-side is yet TBA (seriously, that's what the description says: "TBA"). Interestingly, they are now on Milk! Records (well, Mom + Pop in the U.S.), better known as the house Courtney Barnett and Jen Cloher built.

releases June 14, 2019

Not really sure if a remastering is really necessary, but this is such a great album that I've played to shreds, especially in the car super super loud and still can listen to without getting bored by it. So I'll buy it anyway.


Oh and it will be released on the same day as Bill Callahan's album, which brings me to this: Bill Callahan Releases 5 More New Songs: Listen

yeah I know. Sorry, Whenever someone raves about hiphop/rap on this forum I always think what you're doing here which nobody should take personally. I just don't like it, at least most of it. That first song I listened to was just too much kitsch for me.

I'll give it another try on some other songs on that album maybe

New Freddie Gibbs & Madlib album “Bandana,” sequel to “Piñata,” is out at the end of June

Edited and mixed between Montreal and Paris, 'From Somewhere Invisible' summons the fever of experimentation and the powerful sound of the game coming together in the service of a luxuriant and psychedelic drift. Synthetic brass meets hammered rhythms, string electrics with cracked electronics, saxophone cries and laughter at a pulsing and seminal bass.

Created in 2012 by multi-instrumentalists Frédéric D. Oberland & Stéphane Pigneul, OISEAUX-TEMPÊTE [wazo-tɑ˜ .p?ːt] - (Storm Petrels) is a constantly evolving collective that, embracing the freedom of improvisation, transcends borders and cultures, straddling the intersection where amplified music ( post / kraut / free-rock, jazz-punk, avant-garde, experimental electronics) collides and finds common ground - a refuge.
The consequence of several trips around the Mediterranean Sea - Greece ('S/T', 2013), Turkey and Sicily ('ÜTOPIYA?', 2015), Lebanon ('AL-'AN!', 2017 and 'TARAB', 2018) - the music of OISEAUX-TEMPÊTE is anchored in a tormented present. Sensitive to the beating of hearts, hypnotic beats and explosions of materials, they embrace the community of collaboration, regularly inviting to the studio and tour friends like the electronic producer Mondkopf, the Dutch performer G.W.Sok (The Ex), drummers Jean-Michel Pirès (Bruit Noir, The Married Monk), Sylvain Joasson (Mendelson), Ben McConnell (Beach House, Marissa Nadler), British bass clarinettist Gareth Davis, contemporary ondist Christine Ott and musicians Charbel Haber & The Bunny Tylers, Sharif Sehnaoui, Fadi Tabbal, Tamer Abu Ghazaleh, Youmna Saba, Two Or The Dragon ...

 

At the end of November 2017, OISEAUX-TEMPÊTE flew to Canada at the invitation of Radwan Ghazi Moumneh (Jerusalem In My Heart). The program for the quintet (Frédéric, Stéphane, Jean-Michel, Mondkopf & G.W.Sok): two concerts in Montreal and Toronto in support of the collaborative project Suuns & Jerusalem In My Heart (specially reformed for the occasion), fraternal encounters buried beneath the Canadian snow, and to finish, a mysterious two-day studio session in Montreal's legendary Hotel2Tango. Radwan shifts from the recording controls to the buzuk, the spiralling strings of Jessica Moss (Thee Silver Mt. Zion) a welcome surprise. With usual urgency, OISEAUX-TEMPÊTE rushes with joy towards the invisible outcome.


The fourth studio album and seventh release on the Belgian avant-garde label Sub Rosa, 'From Somewhere Invisible' (2019) embraces the new. Leaving aside for a while the logbooks of long journeys and the field recordings of the previous albums, the music of OISEAUX-TEMPÊTE unfolds as a twilight and prophetic orchestra around G.W.Sok's punctuated voice. The poems of Mahmoud Darwish, Ghayath Almadhoun and Yu Jian question the modern man and his double, the strange and foreign, the fragmented real, the violence, society and its mirror. The eyes we hide behind, the ones we should open. These intimate compasses which can make us rise together in the midst of shrouded ruins; there is always a black raven to defy the horizon.

well, I'm very sorry but that rule don't apply here
Bill Callahan will be ranked 4, Mono will be ranked 5




And here are the contestants for spots 2 and 3:

 

well, the ranking may still change, and I'll have to squeeze the SebadoH somewhere in it as well ...
but there's no space left for anything else

And here is yet another Constellation related release:

it sounds good, listening to it right now. Subscribers of the Gizeh mailing list get a preview. This will not be in my most anticipated list, but it might rock your boat.

oh, and if you want to get lucky, Gizeh is holding a warehouse cleanup. You can get 10CDs for 10 Pounds!

SOME BECAME HOLLOW TUBES

​Keep it in the Ground

Some Became Hollow Tubes floating in the ocean.

6 self recorded improvised drone rock waves from Eric Quach (thisquietarmy - relentless DIY powerhouse) and Aidan Girt (Godspeed You! Black Emperor).

Chords loop, pedals get pushed, pounding drum parts get added and subtracted, it starts quiet and gets loud. Eric no longer needs to worry about the rhythm, Aidan no longer has to worry about the song structure. All four ears stay cocked and listening even if neither of them are very good at keeping eye contact.

One life to live, pound drone and loop this moment into the present, hahaha lets keep joking, it's ok.... the music has our sadness. This world is dying, the machines are getting better and better at eating material things to create nothing and all we can do is make wordless music in response.

PRESS:

"Wide of angle, stunningly executed, shot through with wordless emotion, Keep It In The Ground is a score for a film that doesn’t exist – and even if it did, it would struggle to match the breath-taking sonic splendour found here." Astral Noize

"I think the message is clear here. If you're into drones & drums, kraut & psychedelic, ambient & percussion, you need this album." Merchant of Air

PERSONNEL:
Aidan Girt - Drums
Eric Quach - Guitar, FX, Synths

Recorded behind the meat shop in an old sexy car wash.
Additional overdubs done at TQA HQ.
Mixed at The Pines
Mastered by Harris Newman at Grey Market.

Chords by Ellen Arkbro is good. One side is for organ, the other guitar. I like the guitar side better, very unexpected progressions.

It's been officially announced, I got the W.A.S.T.E. email this morning. Longer, glitchy electronic stuff - four of the tracks have been played live at DJ sets before; there's links that I'll have to get soon. Some related short film is coming to Netflix too.
Digital release on Thursday, vinyl release (with a bonus track) a few weeks after that. Wikipedia link.
