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. Brand new song with a kind of j-pop feeling a la Cibo Matto

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.

„Bülbüls are a family of medium sized songbirds. In general they are resistant to human pressures on the environment and are tolerant of disturbed habitat. The song of the Bulbul is described as „the most unattractive noises made by any bird”.

BULBUL started as a one-man band in Wels, Upper-Austria, when Raumschiff Engelmayr, outfitted with guitar, drumcomputer and vacuum cleaner released a CD with a 600g handmade steelcover and began playing concerts disguised as space-indian. Then a bassplayer and two jazz reeds joined, then reeds quit, and a drummer has come. One of the most interesting bands in Austria.

A compilation album from 2005

Once upon a time when every German workers’ dreams came true in the German Democratic Republic, where citizens were so perfectly defended by the inner security service that every seventh one was an informer. It was so democratic that the media was totally controlled by the communist state, and any private publishing was illegal. In Karl Marx-Stadt (aka Chemnitz) there was a really underground new wave electronic experimental label klangFarBe run by Frank Bretschneider from 1985 till 1989. It published only 8 cassette releases.

A double compilation LP with AG Geige, Kriminal Tanzkapelle, Frank Bretschneider and Stein Im Brett

will be released soon by Mannequin Records (Germany)

You can download a Karl Marx-Stadt underground V/A tape from the 80s

and there is a film about AG Geige.

Bretschneider today run Raster-Noton. It is meant to be a platform – a network covering the overlapping border areas of pop, art, and science. It has been emerged from the fusion of Rastermusic, founded by Olaf Bender (AG Geige) and Bretschneider (also was in AG Geige) in 1996, and the sublabel Noton, which was run by Carsten Nicolai (aka Alva Noto). It realizes music projects, publications and installation works. The common idea behind all releases is an experimental approach – an amalgamation of sound, art, and design, which is not only apparent in the music, but also visible from the artwork and cover design. In music the label’s aesthetic focus is on rhythmic, minimal electronic music alternating between playful pop and introspection.

I also had speed metal years, but those were little different, but after came the speed years, and those were similar

BRONZE. Crazy and twisted Neue Kraut Welle from San Fransisco. Sometimes like a lo-fi Jean-Michel Jarre. They were released by synt-pop label Not Not Fun, electro underground Enfant Terrible, and avantgarde RVNG Intl. A live album will be released this month by John Dwyer’s garage rock/punk label Castle Face Records (US)

Dwyers (Thee Oh Sees) said about them: Always drunk with mad skills. With dashes of John Carpenter, Silver Apples, Liquid Liquid, Birthday Party, Harold Grosskopf, Klaus Schultze, Cluster, and Brian Ferry with a field recorder taped to his tux jacket. Ultra bottom heavy dance beats a la Brian Hock. Super hand-wringing oscillations home brewed by Miles Friction and the ever-great Robert Spector delivering homilies from beyond the dimensional wall.

The American musician Saul Conrad plays “hard to categorize”, perhaps “experimental chamber pop”  or “other” bittersweet 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. But essentially his music based on his affection for music of Mozart, Chopin or Mahler.
