Chamber LP by Captcha

Suggest: listen to their live album!

*

It’s not a good, but also not a too bad album inside its own style: mainstream-like indie pop (or in reverse) with a little psych taste sometimes. There’re some good tracks, but all in all this album is not too exciting and too long. There is stuff for a good EP only. Moreover I don’t understand the first track. It’s such terrible that you stop the music immediately.

Painted Palms – Forever, debut album by Polyvinyl

A Tree In A Field is a Swiss independent record label.
Among their latest 4 releases are 3 perfect and 

AIE CA GICLE – SPEAK EASY

Well, then I’m speaking easy. Shit. Because there’re many playful, catchy tunes, but there’re not enough dynamics in the tracks, so most of the songs become boring. Enervated indie guitar pop with some really good moments. Listen and form own opinion!

I’m very sorry. It could be an excellent album.

4 Trees In A Field / 1 A perfect album by MIR 

The Ruins was founded as a trio in 1985, but the guitarist never arrived, so started as a prog-rock drum and bass duo. During the years there were 4 bassists, the last one quit in 2004, since then the drummer, Tatsuya Yoshida is working as Ruins Alone. By the way he is also playing in the noise metal Zeni Geva, in the free jazz grind PainKiller with John Zorn and Bill Laswell, and in the prog-psych-space rock Acid Mothers Temple beside his many collaborations. One of these is the Sax Ruins with the saxophone player, flautist (and sculptor) Ryoko Ono, who participates in jazz, rock, funk, rhythm & blues and hiphop bands beside her own progressive-impro-rock band, ryorchestra.
