Peter Kernel

great little big band of Aris Basetti and the Canadian Barbara Lehnhof
in Switzerland. Their music brings Sonic Youth, Breeders and Pixies to my mind.

High Fever

from the album Thrill Addict on On The Camper Records (Switzerland).

Full album stream until 18 January.

RNR666 interview with Barbara about her electronic project Camilla Sparksss

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.

All This Wanting

directed by US Girls

TIT is a cooperation between synth punk Digital Leather‘s Shawn and Bobby Hussy from garage rock duo Hussy.

The PYPY in New York

They’re from Canada, and members in Red Mass and Duchess Says.
The track is taken from their debut album (Slovenly Records, US)

Susan from LA. Indie guitar pop with garage rock taste. Quite like a band from the better ones on Slumberland Records. Sometimes so good like the Breeders. Drummer from Texan garage rock band Cowabunga Babes, and its garage punk side project The Vomettes.

Debut 7″ on Volar Records (US)

+ cassette with 2 more songs on Burger Records (US)

The Canadian quartet New Swears play Black Lips-like garage rock’n’roll while they name the infamous, hyper dirty ultra sexual rap gang, 2 Live Crew as influence. I think no need to say more:

„Junkfood Forever, Bedtime Whatever” LP on Bachelor Records (Austria)

They’re on Euro Tour Now!

The Legendary Tigerman is Paulo Furtado from Portugal. He is following the tradition of Mississippi Delta Blues where the blues-men performed playing and singing alone. He mix the blues with rockabilly and rock and roll rhythms.

True album on Metropolitana Records and Sony Music France

His best album is Femina (2009) where every song is a duet with a woman. For example Maria de Medeiros, Peaches, Becky Lee, Asia Argento, Rita Redshoes

*

Jeans are Jasmyn, the singer of Canadian alternative pop band Weaves, and Tim from her previous indie garage rock band Rat Tail. Their music is distorted, dubbed old stlye pop music, like a sunny Dirty Beaches.

Digital album. Just name your price

CROSSS is a Canadian proto-metal/psych garage hard rock band. And they are really great! Their two split vinyls, a 7″ with garage punk band Astral Gunk

and an 8″ with garage punk band Soupcans, (but in this case their song is like an early Hellhammer track)

were released recently. The first on Pleasence, the second one on Bruised Tongue Records.

„Beta Frontiers is the soundtrack to a near-future physical video game where your shoes are hovercrafts and you actually make it to all the parties in one night. When you get there, everyone is like, “Hey Mike!!”, as beamy smiles melt into your now-hologrammed dancing body.” (Anamai, ambient folk artist, label mate)

Canadian artist Michael Butler makes 80s-like electronic pop under name of BETA FRONTIERS

So Cold

Surprising that HSY started as a one woman band in Canada. Post-punk with sludge metal

7″ on Buzz (Can) and Too Pure Records (UK)

There was a special local taste of punk in Germany, but Küken could be in any garage of the world. Because of the harbour, maybe.

Industrial surf gaze experimental cold wave disco
“punk or whatever i feel.”
