Pitbull Terrier

from the album Donker Mag on Zef Records on CD and digital on 3 June

Die Antwoord (in Afrikaans = The Answer) is a South-African rave/hip-hop crew. They’re part of the Zef counter-culture movement.  The word „zef” is a shortening of the name of the Ford Zephyr that was popular worldwide from the 1950s to the 1970s. In South Africa, these cars were often owned by working-class people. Yo-Landi from Die Antwoord said about it: „Zef is, you’re poor but you’re fancy. You’re poor but you’re sexy, you’ve got style.”

Funny, playfool, jazzy. Roz & The Rice Cakes bring the Deerhoof to my mind. On other sites this is called Art Rock

Free Alt-Country from the Big Prairie of London

„Phil’s primary influences are the alt-country of Wilco, the surrealist melancholia of Sparklehorse and experimental rock of Califone, though more than a hint of Captain Beefheart’s magisterial influence can be detected in the lyrics and song titles. Ian brings bluegrass chops and punk sensibilities in equal measure, whilst Barney’s slide and fingerstyle guitar reveal a love of the pre-war splendor of Mississippi John Hurt and Blind Willie McTell”, but the time of the description Louisa wasn’t in the Cat Meat yet.

Free digital split single with their friend and collaborator Hephaestus P. Stormcloud. You can find more free stuff on their Bandcamp

He is a musician, a scholar with a Ph.D in Shakespearian studies and a published poet – but he was playing the piano for tips in order to survive, which is how Jeff Feuerzeig (the filmmaker responsible for The Devil And Daniel Johnston and other musician theme films.) discovered him. These three tracks were all recorded in the van in Griffith Park, Los Angeles. There is a cover of Alice Cooper’s “I Never Cry”

AUTOMATIC

by Canadian Sonic Avenues from their album Mistakes on Dirtnap Records (US)

They are on Euro Tour with Needles//Pins & Peach Kelli Pop.

Budapest 20th May, Trafik Klub

ENFANT TERRIBLE is a Dutch electronic label for bohemian spirits, libertine hearts, decadent souls and hedonistic minds.

Kord feat. Annie Gylling – We Live In This, 12″

The musician behind Kord is an original member of Swedish cult electronic/acid oufit Frak and producing music since the late 1980’s… with Kord he produces a more synthpop minded kind of music… most of the time… for Gooiland Elektro he teamed up with his partner in crime/love and came up with this raw elektro EP… these tracks are the perfect mix of crazy and twisted electronic music (a signature of his Frak work) and dancefloor orientated sounds since the late 1980’s… so we get served unpolished dance tunes with hints of EBM, new beat and (minimal) elektro… non stop primitive disco for sure!

Rude 66 – 12″

Dutch acid and elektro veteran has been around for a long time… being part of the old school acid scene from The Hague with releases on legendary label Acid Planet and he is one of the originals (again) when it comes to the new wave of electro in the late 1990’s… especially for Gooiland Elektro he has created this dark elektro EP… Beta Evers and Sololust appearing as partners in crime… elektro, acid (beat) and a touch of old school gothic come together!

Europ Europ – Repeating Mistakes LP

The album is noisy but without being a simple drone… the band serves you lo-fi industrial soundscapes presented as songs… sometimes haunting and disturbing but the next minute soothing and hypnotic… ‘Repeating Mistakes’ is not an easy listening album but a piece of music you need to discover by listening to it over and over again… peeling away layers and uncovering the true nature of the songs by doing this… this is simply minimal electronics as it should sound!
