Peals is a new band led by William Cashion (Future Islands, synth-pop trio) and Bruce Willen (Double Dagger, drum and bass post punk duo). Their music is different character like his mentioned bands. Their first LP, the „Walking Field is headphone music for summer afternoons and cold winter nights; a soundtrack for deserted beaches and wooded campfires; the feeling of a sunrise alone, or a sunset with a close circle of friends.” There all sounds were generated by guitars and microphones.

I didn’t wait very hard garage rock from Mikal Cronin (Charlie and The Moonheart, Epsilons, Party Fowl, Okie Dokie, Ty Segall), but in the first minutes I was surprised. Sha-la-la guitar pop. But I looked up suddenly several times during the listening – Hey, it’s good! And I listened it three times.

The first is an American, the second is a French label. Their common V/A album is free download. It’s from 2012, but there are lots of very good unknown bands, anyway for me. For example The Cesarians, Three Second Kiss etc. Fine noisy music in various styles:

The First LP of The Future Primitives, a Voodoo Rhythm compatible band from South Africa:

by the Portuguese Groovie Records

Papeye – Tennis LP

Mainly instrumental indie hard rock from France. The members are great musicians, for example the drummer, JB plays in the Magic Barbecue and Pneu too. (Both of them were in rnr666 party already.) The sound is similar to Deerhoof (I love) and Don Caballero (I don’t like). I miss the vocals very much. I don’t like this style, it’s too math for me, but there are very good minutes! I like the dirty literary garage rock. Sorry.

Seal Of Quality – Life Hacks LP

Funny French 8 bit electro pop. There are heavy nintendo sounds and thrash metal riffs mixed with synth pop feelings. I was astonished when I known that the SOQ is a one man band. I thought that is a trio.

The Piano Interrupted started as a computer manipulated piano project. It has been completed with cello and percussion. The quartet is playing eclectic contemporary music. Three tracks of the LP have Tunisian feeling, because of they were asked to write the score to ‘Papa Hedi’ – a documentary film about the life and times of Hedi Jouni, the ‘Frank Sinatra’ of Tunisia. They had access to Hédi Jouni’s original recordings, and samples of his music were used as starting point for the compositions. One of these:

Bulbus from Two By Four LP by denovali

The Blackout Beach started as a solo project of the Canadian guitarist, Carey Mercer (guitar, Frog Eyes, Swan Lake). He has made this album with his wife (drums, Frog Eyes) and Dante DeCaro (bass, Wolf Parade). The atmosphere of the LP reminds me of the 16 Horsepower, but instead of the prairie here are mountains.
