Chris Imler was one driver of German satiric electronic duo Driver & Driver. He mix traditional one-man band guitar’n’drums sound with electronic music and some special instruments. „I Used To Too” comes D.A.F., Urban Junior and Quintron to my mind. His moustache is a broad hint at Boris Blank (Yello)

Nervös album on Staatsakt Records (Germany)

New York City is a world of shadows, thieves and con men, its chilling concrete landscapes are a fitting filmic backdrop for the aural futuristic pleasures of NOIR, a band whose deep electronic rhythms fuel darkened beats that conjure stark cinematic images from yesteryear merged with the cold machinery of the future. Conceptualized by vocalist Athan Maroulis, veteran of the pioneering electronic industrial act Spahn Ranch, NOIR is a sensuous electronic return to form for Maroulis, who also fronts dark cabaret legends Black Tape For a Blue Girl. The result was the 2013 critically acclaimed release Darkly Near. It all sounds like revealing his deepest inner thoughts transposed into electronic grace, musical poetry and simply finesse. NOIR’s latest release RE:MIT:TENT offers 20 remixes of songs from Darkly Near featuring a disparaging list of names from all over the electronic music field including ManMadeMan, Assemblage 23, Dead Voices On Air, Ludovico Technique, Decoded Feedback and many others.

A read along 7” book/vinyl called ‘What Did the Hippie Have in His Bag?’ Internationally renowned sleeve artist and illustrator Nick Edwards (4AD, XL) went wild with Cornershop’s Tjinder Singh’s quirky lyrics & together they have created a wonderful world of mountains, spacecraft, dragons, Kurt Vonnegut… needless to say this is not your everyday journey. Original, Colourful, Educational, Singh-alongable, Memorable, Funkyful, and of course Collectable. (Ample Play Records, UK)

SCIENCE FICTION PARK BUNDERSREPUBLIK

West-German home recordings from the 80s. Compiled by German sound futurist Felix Kubin. This eccentric compilation features 25 rare and mostly unheard tracks by bands like Plastiktanz, Neros Tanzende Elektropäpste, chbb, Holger Hiller and Pyrolator, as well as several one hit wonders by the rural tape label Pissing Cow Tapes.

In Germany especially, that neurotic country whose dark Nazi past and subsequent East/West division filled its closet with skeletons, the electro-industry’s advance falls on fertile ground. The four-track tape studio becomes the medium of the collective unconscious; becomes the embrasure, the lighting rod and the magnetic witness to the fears of an imminent nuclear war. They are eruptions out of the crater of a society that had reached a deadlock during the so-called German Autumn with its failed RAF movement. Everyone was waiting… But for what? For the end of the world, approaching via an insane arms race? A new youth movement? A new kind of ice cream?
In their freshly established home studios the protagonists practice the new underground music, the “undirected aggression of liberated sounds”. Everything that isn’t nailed or riveted down is used as an instrument: baking trays, cartons, room lamps, toys, wooden flutes, whistles, cans, trays, record players, televisions, a doorbell, a telephone. Out of the living rooms of the nation drones an obsession with noise, sparing not even the children. (Finders Keepers Records, UK)

The debut LP of The No Tomorrow Boys (<< listen!) from Portland. Wild’n’frantic rock’n’roll. Sounding like the rabid love child of Little Richard and The Cramps with a healthy dose of Rip Off Records garage gunk shot straight to the jugular. (Hound Gawd Records, Germany)

Dark Entries and Honey Soundsystem (US) present Patrick Cowley and Jorge Socarras „Catholic” 2LP. Featuring over 80 minutes of music, never before released on vinyl, this compilation contains two bonus tracks not on the CD.

Perhaps one of the most revolutionary and influential people in the cannon of disco music, Patrick Cowley created his own brand of Hi­NRG dance music coined „The San Francisco Sound.” He moved to San Francisco and met Jorge Socarras in 1973. Patrick, who played drums, guitar and keyboards, provided the perfect match for Jorge’s vocal talents. Between 1975 and 1977 they recorded an album’s worth of material. In 1979, the duo would re­record some of the “Catholic” songs with Patrick’s newly accumulated equipment.  “Catholic” is a genre­bending concept album that ranges from minimalistic proto­techno to synth­driven post­punk, pre­dating the dance punk acts LCD Soundsystem and The Rapture by almost 30 years. Influenced by Tomita, Wendy Carlos, the Velvet Underground and Roxy Music, “Catholic” fills in the gaps between these artists and preempts bands like Talking Heads, Units, The Human League or Chris & Cosey. Patrick forges his unique electronic sound from his collection of synthesizers, modified guitars and self­constructed equipment while Jorge’s vocals go from hypnotic to camp, singing about gay love juju and tackling classics by Donovan and Stoller & Leiber.

full interview

Slim Twig is a Canadian film director who also makes music (like David Lynch, or John Carpenter ). It’s meaningful for his pop musical orientation that he made some split releases with US Girls, Dirty Beaches and Ela Orleans.
His latest album will be re-issued soon by DFA. „A Hound At The Hem” is a concept album, thematically and musically it based on Serge Gainsbourg’s Melody Nelson. Significant disparity that the story of Melody Nelson was the reality of the two main characters’ life. That is so good owing to this specially reason. And because of Gainsbourg’s genius, of course. So good…it’s gem in his amazing life-work. Naturally „A Hound At The Hem” is far from it, but perhaps non-irrespective of it, this is the best work of Slim Twig.

SKIN GRAFT RECORDS (US)

CHILD ABUSE has fused elements of Noise, Death Metal, Free Jazz, and Grind (among other things) into something entirely their own, all the while becoming one of the most innovative, and polarizing bands in New York. „Trouble in Paradise”, the band’s third full-length release, expands on their forays into uncharted musical territory.

In the unhinged tradition of Arab on Radar & Chinese Stars, DOOMSDAY STUDENT caterwauls like four refrigerators dropped down an elevator shaft. As drums push the music forward, spiraling guitars & crazed singing use the tools of rock to dismantle rock, to make an alarm of rock, to make simultaneously songs with hooks & riffs & all that shit & also these little splitting-off universes of paranoia & hysteria & the ecstasy only exploding people truly feel.  When I listen to A Walk Through Hysteria Park on headphones in public I find myself laughing in that way that makes people cross the street away from me, that makes my spine feel made of broken bottles & soaked band aids. And I am better this way. I am more awake, more able to be in the terror & jaggedness & joy of what it is to be. Doomsday Student is a wake up call to anyone who thinks the world merely works. DOOMSDAY STUDENT’s second record, A Walk Through Hysteria Park, is being released on October 28, 2014. Listen a track  Order

First in a series of ten reissues of the cult French underground Futura label by SOUFFLE CONTINU RECORDS (France)

“Sarcelles-Locheres”, the unique album of French underground heroes RED NOISE  led by Patrick Vian (son of Boris). It is a unique blend of free jazz and rock with highly political and satyrical lyrics. The highlight of the album “Sarcelles c’est l’avenir” is an epic journey into proto noise territories which prefigures the decades of sonic experiences to come. 3 tracks. Order

„With (Junk-Saucepan) When (Spoon-Trigger)” is the first album by MAHOGANY BRAIN, led by street poet / underground film maker Michel Bulteau and Patrick Geoffrois. It shares the same raw aesthetics with the Velvet Underground and offers 12 savage and unhinged songs of  distorted guitars with crude lyrics.Recorded in 1970. Listen. Order

SEMOOL were the trio. They recorded “Essais”  between 1969 and 1971. Under the underground, it’s a foggy lo-fi psychedelic alien with echoes of Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath drowned in oceans of heavy delay and acid guitars. Order
