„SURFACE TO AIR MISSIVE

is primarily the project of recorder player Taylor Ross from The American South. This Rock Band has destroyed The Rock Band in order to build a New Rock Band sourced from Fake Classical / Neo-Baroque stylings. Recorders big and small multi-tracked atop atypical chord progressions”

This is a neo-baroque psych folk pop crank, an easy, bloody fun

from the album „A V” on Leaving Records (US)

But this song shows just one face from the many of the band. Sometimes it seems as if there would be a different band, because „Hey, it’s totally Sonic Youth”; „Oh what is the name of that Czech folk jazz band? They make something similar. Jablkon! That’s right.” And in the next moment it turns into grunge. Just like the Ween.

“I’m a fucking furniture removalist from Adelaide. I write down-and-out pop songs. I write songs about every job that I do.”

He is Craig Dermody, well, he writes down-and-out pop songs exactly like Parquet Courts. Bored, melanholic, sometimes angry, simple, beautiful. This song is taken from his 3rd album Mid Thirties Single Scene. It has been released in September by Fire Records (UK).

Euro tour is going to start this month: UK, Holland, Germany, Spain, France.

Craig’s band is Scott & Charlene’s Wedding, named about a golden act of an Australian soap oper Neighbours, when Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan got married in 1987.

And here is the old bandcamp page with the old albums, and you can find there his best song Footscray Station.

És kedves magyar olvasó, ennek a „Neighbours”-nak lett hazai változata a Szomszédok néven ismert szocio-horror.

7″ coming soon on fortna pop! new album under way. and there are two new girls in the band

There was a pretty boring „dream-pop outfit called Mezzanine Owls” in LA. Two of them (Zeitlin – guitar, Mu – drums) have founded ALPINE DECLINE, moved to Beijing to teach on Communication University of China, and reborn as a thrilling

nightmare pop / smokegaze / rust punk / acid greenhouse band

New album Life’s a Gasp by Maybe Mars Records (China)

Galaxie 500 was an influential American indie rock band between 1987 and 91, and released three albums. Somebody said their music is such as if Jonathan Richman (The Modern Lovers) would be backed by The Velvet Underground.

The Blog That Celebrate Itself Records in Sao Bernardo, Brazil just has released a „name your price” tribute album. You can find there indie, dreamy, psychedelic rock, for example also by a big favourite, the Mexican psychedelic rock duo Lorelle Meets The Obsolete. While I was listening to the album just lay on my bed, sometimes dropped off a little, sometimes sipped my beer, and said: so good. Because it is long enough, it is perfect for longer snoozes too.

At the beginning Peter Kernel was a quartet. Because of a broken heart and a new girlfriend during the time it has become an international team of friends around the world and two core members, Canadian Barbara Lehnhoff, and Swiss-Italian Aris Basetti.

On the drums now the number 7 member, Ema. „The first time we met Ema was in 2010 and we thought: “Naaa, he’s a 2 meter tall rasta playing drums in a metal band, he can’t be right for us”. From the latest album Thrill Addict on On The Camper Records

More about the twenty some members

And there is Camilla Sparksss, electro noise wave alter-ego of Barbara. Short interview on rnr666.

Keel Her / Claire Cottrill split cassette

Keel Her aka Rose Jayne Keeler-Schäffeler is a London based alien-obsessed hyperactive girl from Brighton. Makes high standard lo-fi sometimes noisy bedroom pop. And managed by Satan. In 2012 the godfather of lo-fi, and World Champion of DIY home recordings, R. Steevie Moore invited her to play together at his studio in Memphis. And she is in The Bin Bags where playing violin, keys and vocals. Just released their first EP on Permanent Slump Records. (The third song in this playlist is from them.) She said in an interview: Being a female musician: it’s really fun, but sometimes lonely. I’m an outsider, but I always have been, regardless.

Claire Cottrill is a very young girl from Boston (Massachusetts, US). With her guitar she makes music under the influence of sixties soul and r’n’b and Korn.

NP221 Daisy Chains „Above Board” C26 (full album stream here)

Daisy Chains is a very responsive Minneapolis trio. Minimalist fuck you pay me post punk leanings intersect slow country drawl and rock and roll swagger in interesting ways to create something unique that also nods to greats such as Dead Moon, Beat Happening, and Opal.

NP223 Stefan Christensen „Isreal (Its More of the Same)” C32 (full  album here)

Stefan Christensen was the lead man in long running New Haven Connecticut arty DIY punk outfit the Estrogen Highs (e.g. Trouble in Mind, Telephone Explosion, Dead Beat or Southpaw Records), and hc-punk band Iron Hand.

He has walked away to a more abstracted discordant and subtle area of the post punk. Kiwi influences such as This Kind of Punishment, the Dead C, Alastair Galbraith and the Xpressway label sound stick out along with the Mike Rep Ohio scene of weirdo rock and the general goodness of early UK DIY as prime vantage points.

He is running C/Site Recordings. Now they have launched a store with releases available from Estrogen Highs, Stefan Christensen, Pieces of Fruit, Worn Leather, Mountain Movers, Medication, Phemale, and Jon Eriksen. First batch of cassette releases coming in the spring, which will include releases from Stefan Christensen, Medication, and more.

Tomorrows Tulips has been formed as a duo because Alex’s girlfriend „Christina said something about hating to go to Paul Mitchell hair school and I asked her what she always wanted to do. She said she wanted to learn drums but thought that was ridiculous.” At that time Alex was in the garage rock band Japanese Motors.

He was sixteen or seventeen the first time he heard the Velvet Underground box-set. „I remember listening to Velvet Underground and the out-of-tune guitars and there was such a sense of freedom to it. I think I heard them and thought, I wanna do that.” And he does that.

Today the band is a trio, but the drummer is Jennifer. They are difficult egomaniacs, coming from Costa Mesa, Orange County, California, and play esoteric doo wop grunge, and you will hear really cool bass if you click now
