Luke Winslow King plays with his band a mix of old, but maybe eternal American tunes: ragtime, country, blues, gospel, dixie, bluegrass, jazz, rock and roll with minimal and occasionally brass band orchestration.

Swing That Thing

from second album „Everlasting Arms” by Bloodshoot Records (US)

King is living in the musical jungle of New Orleans, where he studied music theory, but his scholarship was received in Prague. He comes from a small Michiganian town, Cadillac.

Allo Darlin’ release third LP. „We Come From The Same Place” is made up of smart, beautiful pop music, with lyrics that resonate with experience and melodies that chime, echo and soar. Have a listen to three songs from the album. Order. Also on Fortuna POP.

The Mantles new single. The Bay Area’s garage-pop greats The Mantles are back with a tweaked line-up featuring the swirling keyboards of Carly Putnam and the rock-solid bass of Matt Bullimore. „Memory” is an upbeat song that recalls some of the finest of the Paisley Underground bands.Listen to Memory.

The June Brides return with new EP. English pop legends The June Brides are back with their second single since re-forming back in 2011. The June Brides are true indie innovators, whose classic 80s records influenced everyone from The Smith/Morrissey to The Wedding Present and Belle & Sebastian.

Terry Malts have been exploring the murky area where hope meets disgust, an area populated with anger, hatred, exhaustion, delusion, seclusion, consumption, life, death, breathing, eating and a host of other conflicting and confusing ideas. Their records to date have a been a refreshing blast of catchy punk, pop-influenced but also chaotic, noisy, shredding. The Insides EP might be their most „pop” record yet, but don’t let that make you believe that they’ve given up on the blazing, verge-of-feedback guitars or pummeling rhythms. Listen to Let You In. Order.

The Aislers Set reissue their back catalog. Slumberland Records and Suicide Squeeze Records re-release all three albums from seminal indie-pop band The Aislers Set. The albums have been re-mastered.

GINO & THE GOONS – SHAKE IT (LP)
Gino and the Goons are the most unlikely band to have gotten any attention in the current shitpool of rock’n’roll posecrap. This is the album you wanted to be budget rock. This is the album you wanted to be dumb as fuck. This is the album that fails on both levels. This is the album that proves that Ramones worship doesn’t have to be predictable or generic. This is the album that proves that rock’N’roll doesn’t have a fashion, and that musical style rules supreme. PLAY LOUD cuz, cause you’re not likely to get this action for many years to come. R.I.P. Joey, Dee Dee, Johnny and Tommy! Preview on Bandcamp and order

SICK THOUGHTS – Fat Kid (10″ EP)
Have you ever been to Hanover, PA? I’ve spent time there, and It’s WEIRD. Hanover is lousy with mongoloids /Juggalos and slack jawed farm people. Drew Owen, otherwise known as SICK THOUGHTS, was born there, and through the benevolent seer abilities of his dad was fortunate enough to escape to Baltimore, MD, currently ranked in the top 30 most dangerous cities in the USA. 17 years old Drew Owen has vinyl releases on labels from Italy (Goodbye Boozy), Sweden (Ken Rock), Zaxxon (Canada), and a few American imprints, including an upcoming single on Goner Records. Sick Thoughts channels GG and the Jabbers and Japanese noise with heavy negatory spirit on each track – a sonically screwed and
puberty drenched hatful of hateful punk rock sputum. Preview on Bandcamp and order

OVERGROUND RECORDS (UK)

The debut album from Steve Ignorant‘s new project Slice of Life, it’s very different from what you’d associate him with, but it’s a mighty fine album.
On the way home from the Australian & New Zealand Last Supper Tour in 2011; Carol, Pete and Steve Ignorant found themselves stranded due to the Chile ash cloud. During the long night gazing at the lights of Sydney reflecting on life while drinking beers, Slice Of Life was born. A far cry from the aggression of Crass maybe, with the songs in an acoustic setting of: piano, acoustic guitar and upright bass, Impossible to categorise, Slice Of Life’s first album is up-front and soul-baringly personal. It’s a mixture of songs and spoken word. Order

„All sorts of stupid phrases have been said for their music, e.g.: experimental, avantgarde, noise, art rock, but Deerhoof is just one of the best pop bands in the world.”  – RNR666

Deerhoof is a base, a point of comparison. I have gathered some „Deerhoof-like”, „Deerhoofesque” or „Deerhoof positive” artists from RNR666

Gentle Friendly – „It’s noisy, with keyboards, you wouldn’t like it.” Very playful experimental pop. Maybe like the early Animal Collective. Or Deerhoof.

Roze & The Rice Cakes – Funny, playful, jazzy. It brings the Deerhoof to my mind. On other sites this is called art rock.

Blanche Blanche Blanche – Experimental pop like Zappa or Deerhoof or something similar.

Joy As A Toy – They mention Talking Heads, Stereolab, Mr. Bungle and Deerhoof like same style music. Playful eclectic progressive pop.

Binidu – They’re high above the indie rock category. His music comes to my mind the Deerhoof and the French band is comparable to them. Fresh and playful music.

Papeye – Indie hard rock from France. The sound is similar to Deerhoof (I love) and Don Caballero (I don’t like).

Orval Carlos Sibelius – French multi-instrumentalist, who make music in really various styles from abstract electroinc dance to psych folk pop. His music often comes the world of Deerhoof in my mind.

Their 13th album La Isla Bonita will be released on 4 November by Polyvinyl Records (US). It was recorded live, DIY style, during „a weeklong sleepover arguing over whether to try and sound like Joan Jett or Janet Jackson

Deerhoof formed as a drum’n’bass duo in San Francisco in 1994. In 1995 Satomi Matsuzaki joined them as a singer within a week of arriving in the United States from Japan without any band experience, and went on tour only a week later… Later she would be the bass player too.  And a guitar player is there too, not of course. If you want more music click

The American musician Saul Conrad plays „hard to categorize”, perhaps „experimental chamber pop”  or „other” music on piano and guitar with surprising key changes, nonsensical rhythmic shifts, overlapping melodies, and folk elements.

His third album (read about!) – which is more popular than previous two (listen to!) – was influenced by Kirkegaard and William Blake, Townes van Zandt and Blaze Foley, Harry Nilsson and Syd Barret, and more.

At 12 he found a camera and started taking photographs. 17: bought a synthesizer in order to make music for his images. 23: Laurent Garnier bought a car from Mr. Oizo‘s father, and there was a cassette…  Do you remember him? Yes or no, this was his first hit in 1999.

LAIBACH CENTRAL EURO TOUR NOV-DEC

Shit!, I said, all chips on the table! . Before Swans took the stage, on board the ship at anchor, watching the purplish clouds, we talked or held our breath in reverence, and to get the best night out of sweet smoke, because if there’s a time to tune in – this must it. And let me make this a disclaimer: maybe I was tuned in too much; my shoes smell like a pair of rats; I often badly miss contact at shows where everyone is facing the stage, like an altar; and most relevantly, I hadn’t got into their reunion albums deep enough.

Swans really hurt, ears and heart, by their sheer volume. The ship A38 is famed for its excellent sound, but, strangely, Gira’s sonorities got trapped in the mix – coming loud and clear, but without the depth to his voice. Count crashes to 22 – a lighthook poises! or some such intermission. Huge blocks – a bit short of details -. cold shiny storm of steel, bluesy downcast drudge, and in the center: immediacy. They bared themselves – were hypnotic, to be kind – or focused beyond bias. Earplugs came with entry, but using them would have felt like betrayal.

Levels of experience (and how they lapsed):
shimmering transfusion swept legs, twitched back and back, off with poses at the joints, I was shaking + the sense of being in the moment (but noone really broke loose)-> communal
release and abandon -> surfing, fun in the sun ( more fun fun fun!) -> magic (a few waves) -> [magical] fairy tale (alas,only a few moments of that…you know, mythic reenactment – but maybe I went to the wrong show)

It was great, it was real, it promised rapture, maybe companionship, but I didn’t totally get it.

Back in the streets, I stopped by an old man playing a woodbox guitar and singing just beautifully to it. Bucolic songs,ballads – almost myths. Thank you, Swans! Thank you, Mr Péter Lóczi!
