The Baptist Generals opererer med en odd miks av lo-fi, akustisk indierock,<br />
og garasjerock à la Roky Erickson som er vanskelig å plassere<br />
i bås selv mens man lytter til platene deres. De har et snev av outsider<br />
music, om du vil. Texasbandet ga ut ett velmottatt album på Sub Pop i<br />
2003, men har altså latt det gå ti år før de nå presenterer oppfølgeren.<br />
Anbefalt til fans av artister som Ween, Smog, nevnte Roky Erickson,<br />
The Mountain Goats (som BG skal på turné med nå), og lignende.<br />
”…combines the directness of Jonathan Richman with the cracked soul<br />
of Will Oldham.” 8/10 UNCUT “Jackleg Devotional to the Heart may be<br />
impossible to define, but there’s something primitive and beautiful at its<br />
core, something we don’t need a name for, just a feeling.” POPMATTERS<br />

Robert E. Smith og hans The Fall er klare med Re-Mit en slags oppfølger<br />
til Ersatz G.B. fra 2011. The Falls historie strekker seg tilbake til midten av<br />
70-tallet og Smith var tidligere notorisk kjent for å bytte ut bandmedlemmer<br />
oftere enn det drikkes ettermiddagste i England, men Re-Mit er faktisk<br />
det fjerde albumet på rad med samme bandoppsetning. Soundet på platen<br />
er selvsagt umiskjennelig The Fall og Smith leverer som på sitt beste.<br />

Etter turbulente perioder hos Sir Coxsone Dodd hos Studio One og Joe Gibbs i<br />
Amalgamated <strong>Records</strong> fant Lee Perry seg et hjem hos WIRL <strong>Records</strong> (West Indies<br />
<strong>Records</strong> Limited) på slutten av 60-tallet. Det var i denne perioden geniet Perry kom<br />
opp med musikkstilen som fikk navnet reggae, og også da han fikk kallenavnet<br />
”Scratch” (etter en tidligere single kalt Chicken Scratch). Sammen med Bunny Lee<br />
spilte han inn og ga ut en rekke minneverdige singler på sin egen Upsetter-etikett<br />
i denne perioden, og det er et utvalg av disse vi får her.<br />

FORHÅND 24. MAI<br />
Sol austan, Mani vestan is the 11th album from Burzum and a return to a purely electronic<br />
and instrumental expression. “Sol austan, Mani vestan” is different from all the older<br />
albums, and yet similar to all of them, and is in style more than anything similar to the<br />
oldest ambient music of Burzum, like the tracks “Tomhet”, “Han som reiste” and<br />
“Channelling the power of Minds into a new God”. “Sol austan, Mani vestan” is inspired by<br />
and made for the “ForeBears” movie by Marie Cachet and Varg Vikernes, where much of<br />
the Scaldic music from “Sol austan, Mani vestan” appears, only in unmastered form,<br />
as a soundtrack.<br />
Burzum says of the new album: “Sol austan, Mani vestan” will feature almost an hour of<br />
instrumental electronic music, that can best be described as relaxing, slow-paced, contemplative<br />
and very much original. And of the concept Burzum says; I have still not been able<br />
to leave behind the Pagan religious-spiritual concept of a descent into darkness and the<br />
following ascend back into the light; the Pagan initiation, the elevation of man to the divine,<br />
the enlightenment of the mind, the feeding of the elven light in man.<br />

FORHÅND 24. MAI<br />
Tales of a Grass Widowʼ is the fifth album from the cross-disciplinary performance artists,<br />
now signed to City Slang for European release. Entitled “Gravediggress” the song is representative<br />
of the albumʼs theme: transformative ecstasy in the face of harmful neglect. It tells the story of an<br />
imagined conversation between an abandoned child and an outcast old woman. The young girl asks<br />
the Gravediggress to bury her love in the ground for safekeeping - “Gravediggress dig me a hole I<br />
can bury, all of my love in, all of my holy.” With a wistful pump organ introduction, Bianca imparts the<br />
entreating childʼs words, and Sierra, in haltering, but clear tones sings for the old woman. Their voices<br />
blend and overlap, suggesting the woman and child are the same person. Simple piano chords<br />
accompany their vocals, with chimes and a marching drum rhythm composed of beat box from<br />
CocoRosieʼs longtime collaborator, Tez.<br />
Produced in association with Valgeir Sigurðsson, ʻTales of a Grass Widowʼ features eleven<br />
songs and, in keeping with prior compositions, synthesizes electronic and organic music conveying a<br />
compelling futuristic, return-tonature sound. Further details of the album are to be announced soon.<br />
Now in their 10th year, the sisterʼs continue to find expression in progressively ambitious<br />
projects, which expand beyond writing, recording and touring their own music. In 2012, they choreographed<br />
“Nightshift,” a dance production and “Soul Life,” an opera both staged at the Donau Festival<br />
in Krems. Bianca held a solo exhibition of her artwork in NYC and the sisters performed at Londonʼs<br />
Meltdown Festival curated by their friend and sometime collaborator Antony Hegarty.<br />
This spring, along with theatre director Robert Wilson the duo unveil their work on a production<br />
of “Peter Pan” by the Berliner Ensemble and will be performing in Paris under the curation of<br />
Laurie Anderson. Later this year Bianca Casady launches ʻGirls Against Godʼ - an arts and letters<br />
print publication. Linked to this project, Bianca and Sierra Casady have founded the Future Feminists<br />
with Antony Hegarty and performance artists Kembra Pfahler and Johanna Constantine. The groupʼs<br />
platform is to “free society and protect the planet from the corrosive effects of patriarchal belief<br />
systems”. The songs in ʻTales of a Grass Widow,ʼ touch on CocoRosieʼs personal response<br />
to the groupʼs feminist mission.<br />

FORHÅND 24. MAI<br />
Kisses is a Los Angeles-based pop project featuring Jesse Kivel and Zinzi Edmundson.<br />
The band’s sophomore release, Kids In LA, is a departure from the luminosity of their first album,<br />
focusing instead on the starker wintertime in Southern California. WhileThe Heart of the Nightlife took<br />
listeners on a neon-hued journey through Palm Springs at peak vacation season, Kids In LA inverts<br />
that thematic motif, opting to explore the empty and slightly-haunted off-season of the vacation world.<br />
The glimmering parties and easy social experiences of the first album make way for the disquieting<br />
stillness and vacuous silences of abandoned beach chairs, covered pools, and peeling wallpaper.<br />
Kids In LA was recorded over a year and a half and produced by Saint Etienne’s Pete Wiggs and Tim<br />
Laracombe. Driven by crisp and thudding drum machines, the record is riddled with the evocative<br />
rhythms of late 80s freestyle (Debbie Deb, Lisa Lisa). Paired with lightly-effected guitars and warm<br />
analog keyboards, the mood is distinct: cold and anxious, yet rich, inviting, and melodic.<br />
Lyrically, the album’s theme has not departed from the playful and frothy frivolity of the first record.<br />
Kids in LA consists of a loose narrative, which follows teenage friends and classmates in Bel Air, exploring<br />
the overblown emotions and distinct chasmic boredom of privileged high schoolers. Their lavish parties<br />
and a general disregard for others ultimately leaves our cast of misanthropes in a wash of insular social<br />
interactions and hazy banality.<br />
Kids in LA is due out May 24 on Splendour and Kisses will be touring this summer in support<br />
of the new <strong>LP</strong>.<br />

ASG emerge from the sandy shores of North Carolina to deliver their fourth full length<br />
and Relapse debut ‘Blood Drive’, produced by Matt Hyde (Slayer, Fu Manchu).<br />
Sun soaked groove heavy riffs that reference equal parts Torche and Queens of the<br />
Stone Age ‘Blood Drive’ is nothing short of anthemic. ASG have toured the country<br />
relentlessly with the likes of Corrosion of Conformity, Weedeater and Black Tusk.<br />
But what’s most remarkable about ‘Blood Drive’ is that any of its 12 instantly memorable<br />
songs could just as easily be FM radio smash hits. What sets ASG apart from their<br />
swampy peers is singer/guitarist Jason Shi’s voice: this is a set of songs that are truly<br />
SUNG by a guy who can actually SING. ‘Blood Drive’ is a kick ass blast of sun that<br />
elevates ASG to the level of some of their most well-regarded Relapse label-mates<br />
like Baroness and Mastodon.<br />
Deluxe double <strong>LP</strong> vinyl comes with exclusive bonus song!<br />

FORHÅND 7. JUNI<br />
http://pitchfork.com/news/49793-eleanor-friedberger-announces-new-album-personal-record-listen-to-stare-at-the-sun/<br />
At a time when most female singer-songwriters perform as alter egos, Eleanor Friedberger<br />
is simply, refreshingly herself. And that’s just the way her fans like it. Having spent<br />
the last decade fronting the indie-rock institution The Fiery Furnaces (currently on hiatus)<br />
with her brother Matthew, in 2011 she emerged as a formidable solo artist with Last<br />
Summer, a thoughtfully crafted tale of memory and place couched in the organic pop of her<br />
‘70s idols. Instantly, Friedberger established herself as a modern-day heir to the tradition of<br />
Donovan, Todd Rundgren, Ronnie Lane, and their ilk: warm, nuanced, timeless songs.<br />
No gimmicks necessary.<br />
The title of Friedberger’s sophomore album is Personal Record, and it is, in a sense.<br />
Personal, that is. But not personal in the way of, say, a coming-of-age record, or a diary<br />
about the past, which Last Summer was. Many of the songs seem to be about love, or love<br />
lost, but whether any of the experience is hers or someone else’s, she isn’t saying. “It’s not<br />
as specific a narrative this time,” she says. “There’s a universality to it.” So incisive are the<br />
lyrics, in fact, that Friedberger’s bassist incorrectly assumed that two of the songs were<br />
about him. “I loved that,” she says. “I want him to feel like the songs are about him. I want<br />
you to feel like the songs are about you.”<br />
