Rolling weird music 2020

Formerly known as herky-jerky, time travel, experimental etc etc

Charlie Looker of Extra Life and such has just tweeted about this, by Stern, an old friend of his. It is weird, and really good. File under lo-fi underwater prog:

https://sterntheband.bandcamp.com/album/sunder-hawk

my new band is going to be called Toby Driver Used To Be In My Band

Martillero, from my favourite 2019 album

https://solteronasenescabeche.bandcamp.com/album/lenguaje-y-comunicaci-n

'Weird music' works for me, feel like herky-jerky and experimental are both too specific, and while time travel worked for a while the last thread was too much orange milk and not enough other stuff. My tip for this year is to keep an eye out for BodyVice, Natalie Sharp's newish project.

That Stern album sounds great in places.

Quietus head honcho releases album of spoken word & electronics: https://teslatapes.bandcamp.com/album/self-help-grand-hotel-ibis -> sounds pretty good in a Shadow Ring/Call Back the Giants way.

Haha, it has gained sentience and begun to communicate in song!

I don't know if it's a bit self-absorbed to do this, but I think time travellers might enjoy the stuff I play on my radio show, so here's a link. There's four so far and we do it monthly, and I talk a lot of cringey rubbish in between songs so you can laugh at me.

thanks!

Very curious to hear both D0ran's venture and your show!

will definitely be tuning in to your occult frequencies emil.y!

from last year but painted faces “tales from the skinny apartment” fits the bill, utterly stoned demented murk

This is pretty rad

i don't think it's self-absorbed, the word i'd use is "cool", thanks!

took 12 minutes until it hit something where i was like "oh! i know this!" (was that omar khorshid? idk). but everything so far is awesome.

Awww, thank you so much - it means a lot!

Stabscotch are back, and they are sounding incredible

The Last Alchemist will take some beating as SOTY and that's after one listen

https://stabscotch.bandcamp.com/album/twilight-dawn

Album/double EP/'gemini release' announced. Gonna be huge

Lol at the Schlippenbach reference on the review of the first album posted. So many laughters out loud

🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️ NEW MACHINE GIRL 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

https://machinegirl.bandcamp.com/album/u-void-synthesizer

on the first track this is insane amazing

I give it 5 bags of popcorn and I'll throw in 10,000 gecs <3

It's very Digital Hardcore!

This rules :D

to think of the saps paying Grimes so much mind and ignoring this, the real 90s-reloaded cybercore

this is insane:

I’m selling my records. Like, all of em. I’m having an open house (date TBA). Not exactly invite only but I won’t be publishing my address. If you’re interested in what I have, check out this spreadsheet (broken down by genre) and DM me for more info. https://t.co/9LW1dyfDBP

— Anti-Gravity Bunny (@justinsnow) February 27, 2020

sounds like something isn't great w/ him or his family, so i'm not trying to make light of that. just saying ... selling all those records is like whoa

I remember when that ^^ dude's iPod broke and he crowdfunded getting a new one. Hope he's doing OK.

This came out last year but only just come across it: Kutiman, an Israeli musician making stuff that could have come out in the early 80s. Sounds like Craig Leon or some of Richard Pinhas' stuff. It's good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2WJ3gq1hh8

https://infiniteleisure420.bandcamp.com/track/--130

i love me some kutiman, he's going interesting directions

🙄

Bit of a vested interest as they're now labelmates, but honestly if you're not listening to Massicot's new one you're missing out: https://massicot.bandcamp.com/album/kratt

They self-describe as "tropical kraut punk", which I reckon is fairly accurate. FFO The Ex?

Will check! SoL coming soon too yes?

Yes! It's out March 13th, so soon now after such a long wait, eep.

Excellent! ILM launch party to come haha

Enjoying the Massicot album, thanks Emily! Tropical kraut punk is otm. It's fun!

not sure if this is the thread for this but i liked Nist-Nah by Will Guthrie:
https://willguthrie.bandcamp.com/album/nist-nah

various sparse metal (the material not the genre) percussion

If search is to be believed, the only other time Delphine Dora has been mentioned on ILM is in the 2018 time travel thread. So, here you go. I like this.
https://wearethreefour.bandcamp.com/album/linattingible

I put a gig on featuring Delphine and Sophie Cooper in a tiny space above a pub. Delphine was magnificent but only 8 people showed up. We didn't put many more gigs on.

I'd kind of forgotten about her, tbh. Will check this out, cheers.

SoL sounding great, super stuff emil.y et al!

Thanks imago, was really hoping you and tt would like it!

Another vote for Massicot, very weird & cool!

The new Slum of Legs album kills, emil.y! Omg I love it. Such densely layered weirdo post-punk! The synth and string arrangements are wonderful. I hope we get to see you perform someday, post-apocalypse.

^^^

Was thinking about doing a thread for that but didn't want to cause any awkwardness but yes - tremendous job e!

I'm honestly blown away by everyone being so nice about it, makes me all warm and fuzzy, thank you guys.

we've had very limited interactions on here if any but this is awesome.

I'm sure it's due to the name but it does remind me a bit of King Of The Slums who were a Manchester band from the late 80s who had a rumbling Fall-ish sound but with a fiddle player, and they were fab and I've missed them for a long time. Anyway the first track on the SoL album is fucking stunning and I love it

rap thread hasn't claimed Zebra Katz yet, can we

new album is fire

New Patricia Taxxon sounding lovely!

https://patriciataxxon.bandcamp.com/album/rainbow-road

What does track 3, Soaring, remind you of? :)

New Emma Phyzema on Bandcamp (mixed by Bob Drake), just had a quick listen, sounds good, I detect a bit of a Dannielle Dax influence.

https://emmephyzema.bandcamp.com/album/chronic-bronchitis

not to take this back to too much orange milk but this is cool:

https://orangemilkrecords.bandcamp.com/album/diagnostics

http://hausumountain.bandcamp.com/album/coriolis

Interesting sounds...warm and disjointed

imago and tangent: this seemed like something you might dig

Radio show #7 up on mixcloud, we got some old weird and some new weird for you all: https://www.mixcloud.com/citybeatradio/cryptophasia-007/

https://sidechains.bandcamp.com/track/1-800

reminds me of the old slapp happy song "i got evil"

and of course a little DOOM

Perhaps the most astonishing, seductive and compelling of Partch's works, Delusion stands as the Choral Symphony or Ring Cycle do to other composers: a culminating testament to a lifetime of "doing your own thing."

Like composer Conlon Nancarrow, Partch had to wait until late in life for his radical contributions to the arts to receive wide attention. With the 1969 production of Delusion he was "discovered", idolized, and gurufied, as a 43-tone-to-the-octave, ex-hobo, eccentric, maverick, iconoclastic instrument-builder, and a "philosophic music-man seduced into carpentry." Hippy hyperbole notwithstanding, Partch was a genuine far-out radical whose time has come. Again. "Sounds like this have rarely been heard before, at least not on this planet." Delusion of the Fury is a 72' totally-integrated, corporeal, microtonal, elemental work of ritual theater, incorporating almost all of Partch's hand-built orchestra of sculptural instruments. Using mime, dance, music, vocalizations, lighting, and costume, Partch presents two tales concerning reconciliation of life and death, one after a Japanese Noh drama, the other after an Ethiopian folk tale.

Oooooh.

nice

i got to see a full live production of Delusion of the Fury some year ago; it was a singular weird experience and i sorta doubt I'll ever hear a Partch orchestra in concert again

More people need to listen and join in on this thread: White Boy Scream

i like this
https://fire-toolz.bandcamp.com/track/ever-widening-rings

Some of this is really lovely but I just can't get comfortable with the vokills and blastbeats in the mix so far

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4i2OQc7Gr8

I'm liking the new Cucina Povera album. This one features some nice use of mobile phone interference noise.

huh, that's damaging; will try in a focused listen soon.

Really liked Redundance by Stian Westerhus on first listen: https://stianwesterhus.bandcamp.com/

Makes me think a bit of Robert Fripp playing with Ulver or Toby Driver? He's a very expressive singer. I gather that some of his previous work is just avant-garde guitar composition? I should look deeper into it.

That's great.

Not quite the right thread for it, but – in the deathless spirit of shitty descriptors – Tangram by Material Girl is Endtroducing… for zoomers and it rules.

will check recent additions tomorrow, but

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_czBcs7tFtE

taxxon having quite the 2020

the above song is off this, which is on first pass really great

https://patriciataxxon.bandcamp.com/album/gelb

Yeah I wasn't sure what to make of the Westerhus at first but I ended up enjoying it quite a bit xxp

The second in Taxxon's ballet trilogy is out already and somehow after a few years of releasing a lot of albums she has turned her craft into something quite extraordinary

https://patriciataxxon.bandcamp.com/album/rosa

no wave band w new album out that might be of interest to ppl who read this thread: special interest

O hell yes Special Interest's Spriraling was amazing, great to know about new 'un.
Speaking of ballet music as breakthrough/honing of craft, have yall heard this?
https://jlin.bandcamp.com/album/autobiography-music-from-wayne-mcgregors-autobiography

the Special Interest is fairly compelling but it is another album that seems to regard melody as some sort of bourgeois luxury

that is probably more cutting than it needs to be as I am rather enjoying the sonics!

You mean the Sonics band or the sonics of the (latest?) Special Interest album?

the latter!

new emamouse is outstanding

https://emamouse.bandcamp.com/album/--3

^this rules

special interest record is r good for summer humid walks

Would Memnon Sa fit in here? I mean one could put the new record in a lot of different categories, but I think it's tunefully weird and can't stop listening to it?

Newish WaqWaq Kingdom is getting a lot of play at my house these days, this is the single and by far the most "normal" track on the record. Maybe better for deconstructed club, but I think it's a bit too tuneful.

https://open.spotify.com/track/60fbYOyOnb3FiYdByuF2mT?si=fGn6NqmqTVuxQ0N7NfhtAQ

Sewerslvt
Breakbeats and moody synths

I like this...I don't use Spotify, but is it the "Draining Love Story" record? If so, some of this is Bobbins worthy!

oh yes i have opinions on this record :)

Do tell!

Yes, draining love story
https://geometriclullaby.bandcamp.com/album/draining-love-story

ok, here's what i wrote

https://weirdthingsonbetamax.blogspot.com/2020/05/reviews-of-couple-of-2020-albums.html

Thanks Kate! I like how you're able to see the value of the expression while ruing the circumstances that brought it to the fore.

I dig this a lot, downloaded and listened to late last night. Reminds me of a strange mish-mash of the E-Saggila hard techno, near-gabber sound and the Nathan Micay record's queer anime preoccupations.

great review thanks kate

gahhhhhh not sure whether to thank you there or not

pro: amazing
con: timesuck of the highest order

was out when he started playing ruggles, lol

that said program 15 where he just does a whole bunch of bird songs sounds worthwhile

and he does eventually get around to the dead in the last program :)

awesome, thank you! i'm listening to episode 3, while using this transcript as a reference: https://www.fredcamper.com/Brakhage/TestofTime.html

and he does eventually get around to the dead in the last program :)

definitely haven't gotten that far and probably never will, but it's "That's It For the Other One"! going back to the roots

Am I the only person who hasn't been converted to the Dead?

nah, most people haven't; i got plenty of friends who shake their heads when i start talking dead

Thanks Dow, that is an awesome find.

i'm not into the dead fwiw

xpost You're welcome; I should check ubuweb more often, mostly wait 'til I catch one of their tweets. Don't know if the Harry Bertoia thread is weird enough for this one, but here's a similar approach to HB's, nice palate cleanser anyway, though my dog doesn't agree:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmrER-1_G9o If it doesn't show, search YouTube for Teaching a Stone to Sing.

Reading the text of Brakhage’s show it reminds me of the conversational tone of Nicholson Baker’s writing, also something about the simply joy of discovering and sharing things of interest

LOVE the singing stones

found a short doc on Sciola pretty quickly, queuing it up now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkq33RNZpL4

Cool, thx, I came across his shortie whille looking for the film that Sonny Sharrock said Sun Ra showed him, about teaching statues to sing and/or speak. No luck w that yet.
also, do you know these threads?
Harry Bertoia

BERTOIA c/d
Good pix and discussion of some of the albums and other artifacts. What I really like is seeing his creations perform while I'm listening, usually some examples on youtube. He also designed and maybe constructed other things, like furniture and jewelry, prob. non-singing, but wouldn't put it past him.

whoa sewerslvt! I sent that to tim and brad earlier this year lol not sure they liked it but apparently i thought it was interesting enough to send ... going to revisit it

It’s great

Good to know I'm not the only one still skeptical of the Dead.

Respect their fans' contributions to bootleg culture quite a lot, though I truly just don't "get" the music itself. And I really love wanky improv stuff— I have a lot of No-Neck Blues Band records, ffs. I think I just fall more on the electronics, noise and free jazz side of improv, tbh.

admittedly I am only a recent convert to being a stoner but (at least so far) stoned or sober I would rather listen to actual drone music or actual rock music than some mutant amalgam of the two

Same!

Velvet Underground---?

lord I've tried

I don't think for me it has anything to do w/ the specific genre of improv....I took am into NNCK, Jackie O Motherfucker et al...even willfully slipshod "bad" playing e.g. Maher Shalal Hash Baz

my brain just cannot square the way these guys play together. With most improv, jazz or not—even super minimalist stuff like AMM—I'm conscious of an invisible baseline of togetherness somewhere. Like a subtext of tightness, something the band is deviating from. I never have any sense of that with the Dead.

I have wondered over the years if I would feel the same way if they never made an attempt at rock music...like they seem so incapable of swinging when they try to, and I am subconsciously biased/aware of that when they listening to the exploratory stuff.

when they listening

i wonder how much of it is expectations? ... like, as you say, it's not about "improv" -- it sounds like you have certain expectations (or at least aesthetic preferences) of rock music and acceptable adjacent sounds ... whereas the other stuff is subject to different expectations/aesthetics

sorry for butting in

Lol we have a thread for this... it’s probably still on sna ffs

I mean I would like to think at this point in life it’s not about expectations...I generally try to re-approach art that my friends and peers like that doesn’t click for me generously and from a bunch of different angles. I’ve had the experience of a band not matching my expectations and then recalibrating and returning and being totally win over.

I mean I also grew up with the Dead in the air, I had the early records in HS and went to a state school in NE where they are/were ubiquitous, took the requisite acid trip at a stadium show etc. And I like their whole ethos—am attracted to the idea of that subculture.

I just can’t find a way in.

xp I had been reading but steering clear of posting in the Dead thread respectfully, it seems like it’s rolling along w/ real heads and I like that

though maybr this is better for "Bands you keep trying to like but can't get into"

idk i just approach things from the "it's okay if i don't like music i'm supposed to like" perspective and move on ... maybe it's worth analyzing why i don't, maybe that's what's going on with y'all? I generally only do this when it's the music of someone i know personally, and what I think of their music might actually affect them? ... there are definitely a whole cadre of ppl that are into 21st century alt-jam bands that have been recently mentioned here, that won't go near the Dead -- personally, I don't see that big of a difference between them ... but I'm of the "not really a fan of either type" though I find it pleasant enough

I mean the Dead are one of those bands I'm totally "it's okay I don't like this." But I guess generally speaking it has something to do w/ appetite...I'm sometimes reluctant to give up entirely on something other ppl whose opinions I respect are into, in the hopes of expanding/developing my own sensibilities

Am I the only person who hasn't been converted to the Dead?

No. Every time I've tried listening to the Dead, I get maybe a minute or two into it until I realize: why am I listening to this when I can listen to Bardo Pond instead?

it’s ok if you don’t like the dead... is it ok if I like the dead?

I never in a million zillion years thought I’d EVER listen to Tom Waits by choice but here I am getting really into heart of Saturday night. Wtf.

i have always liked Tom Waits

listened to Rain Dogs in full for the first time in decades a week or two back, good times

sleeve -- who was that british guitar dude that did that home concert a month or so ago? fish something or other?

Is this Grateful Dead? Why does everyone call them The Dead?

great question Robert Adam Gilmour, can i call you Bob?

I have no problem with people who are into the Dead. Just don't try to convince me, it's been done too many times.

xp lol

xps Pat Fish a.k.a. The Jazz Butcher!!

yes!! I remember something related to Jazz -- that was quite nice!

meanwhile I kinda just want to listen to TFUL282 I Hope It Lands on repeat -- why? idk

that is the best TFUL282 album

went through that Stan Brakhage series 10 years ago, it comes to mind at the oddest moments, every episode is good

been ransacking everything at this website: http://theatticmag.com/features/2337/'this-is-not-intentionally-music'.-a-cedrik-fermont-interview.html

found website through googling Svitlana Nianio

& sarahell, you see this?

https://pleasekillme.com/pink-section-inflatable-boy-clams/

I keep thinking it must be a different band and it seems like an affectionate name only big fans would use.

Is this Grateful Dead? Why does everyone call them The Dead?

― Robert Adam Gilmour, Friday, August 21, 2020 12:52 PM (nineteen minutes ago) bookmarkflaglink

sorry, i mistyped, meant The Gay Dad

milty -- i got the reissues of those back when my band was a duo -- so 2014? 2015? ... Inflatable Boy Clams was a fave of my bandmate, whose ex-gf is, I think, dating that one guy from the 19th century bullshit band

Whenever I try giving the Dead another chance I end up listening to the Paul Butterfield Blues Band’s ‘East-West’ for the 23806th time.

oh, that reissue came out before "flyergate" -- I think I stopped buying Superior V1aduct releases after flyergate ... geez, it seems surreal to think about the innocent times of flyergate compared to the election, G.S., ... now ...

xxxp lol

Dadheads

anyway -- the way she sings "horrible mistake" on that song ... sigh, the best.

Oh mom, get back to me, bring me some snacks
What I want to do in Marin is to relax
Oh yeah I dig Marin, the views... are good
And everything is bettering me, I mean I feel, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah

God, I love Inflatable Boy Clams.

Same here. I remember playing them for a date once and he was so obsessed with I'm Sorry that we listened to it a few times while getting ridiculously baked. We set the fire alarm off lol

Sarahell will know this person, too, which helps make the story funnier for the two of us.

omg who?!!!!!

table is the table was at the first gig my band played!

the way she sings "horrible mistake" on that song ... sigh, the best.

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

best fucking band

at the 2004 reunion show in PDX this dude got up on stage, went around, and hugged each member individually. random fan otm.

(I got tons of love for IBC as well, but y'know there's only like 5 songs or w/e)

Sarahell, he's in the Y0ung3r Lover5

I came here to post the home blitz. It's great.

Latecomer to the new Cucina Povers album here. Gonna have to go back and relisten to her previous but this seems like a big leap forwards? Definitely pushing my buttons more than the one before (which I still really liked!) . I don't even really know what's going on but getting strong 'ancient music of a place that's never existed' feels. Multitracked vocals and some sparse synth that's played exactly the way our alien forebears intended, can't even think what else sounds like it really

I guess the glory days of Fonal Records are the neatest point of comparison? Islaja and stuff like that

(perks up ears)

Just noticed the dumb auto correct in my post - it's Cucina Povera obv

Just listened to the first few tracks and my it is gorgeous.

I guess 'weird music' fans might be into the Deathbomb Arc showcase? I didn't manage to follow along on the night but it's archived. Features a certain Soft Pink Dude, among many others.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fnp7XRXOWqw&

loving the Cucina Povera, thanks. I feel like someone else here tipped me to her recently?

Paolo linked to one of her songs on this very thread a few months back

Thanks for posting that video btw emily! I'm kind of out of touch with things so the only other thing I know from that is TALsounds.

yeh this cucina povera is a really beautiful ep

new eric copeland from a few weeks ago
https://ericcopeland.bandcamp.com/album/dumb-it-down

Constantly trying to resist turning this thread into "Emil.y's Radio Show Promotion Thread" but we've got some guests in for the second half of this month playing rad Ex-Yu/Slavic tunes, I'm dead excited about it: https://www.mixcloud.com/citybeatradio/cryptophasia-013/

kind of enjoying that eric copeland

This Cryptophasia mix is really great thanks. It's so hard to stay on top of weird music - or it is for me at least. Once I became aware of the berserk, sublime dimensionality this substrata of music has expanded to create (and I only feel that way in the most fleeting of glimpses, despite my luck that it's become one of the main planks of my 9-5) I found it disorientating. I feel like the opinion I encountered a lot when I was first a very green, ignorant music writer 17 yrs ago - that we no longer need any kind of interface between us and the music, that all we needed was internet access and our ears - has never been further from the truth. I don't need a return of imperious gatekeepers for sure, but nothing dissolves my critical, aesthetic and emotional faculties like a day spent listening to 14 new tapes, five new streams, and two new LPs, where I have little or no idea of what the provenance is. I need some damn help with my listening. I think one of my new year's resolutions will definitely be to carve out more time to spend listening to shows like this and checking out the shows on Neon Hospice etc. Like, whether this is an obvious thing to say or not, there's surely never been a more important time for rhizomatic connectivity between all points in whatever constitutes the underground.

fully agree. i started this thread recently Keeping Up With Music to attempt to convey the sheer weight of the task upon the serious avant-garde universalist right now. a RYM account alone isn't quite enough; we need guidance, means of 'rhizomatic connectivity' that still does not limit (which is the risk) but which suggests outward paths and lines of deeper inquiry

Hear, hear. Especially in this day and age where it's becoming harder and harder to pass by the self-implied and money-driven gatekeeper that is The Algorithm and Curated Playli$t$. Which suggest only inward paths to swallow you for their personal gain, instead of the outwards paths lj succinctly described. 'We need guidance' is otm.

Emily and Dan's show truly is on the right side here and one to keep a keen eye on!

Ah, thank you!

I definitely get overwhelmed with the amount of music that's out there - I also have some issues that mean I simply can't concentrate on music for as long as I used to/other nerds may do, so I need navigation tools more than ever. Some of that is from relatively traditional modes of journalism, some from here, but I've always found the best way of finding stuff is through actually being involved in music making and "scenes". I don't really mean scenes like cliques, though there is always the risk of that, but if you know people who make stuff then they know other people who make stuff, and you get to know the interconnected underground networks and can follow trails to all sorts of places, rather than getting stuck in a cliquey cul-de-sac. I think the two biggest problems with this, though, are accessibility (not just disability accessibility, but location, age, internet access, a massive pandemic, loads of things), and also that as I've aged my networks have too, and that means that I can completely miss new exciting stuff, because I'm no longer on the same trails as the people who are coming up.

I've spent ages typing this out and now I no longer know if it makes any sense, but oh well, I'm gonna hit send anyway.

thanks for the new dn

I like this album by The Gagmen. Dark/weirdo supergroup with Aaron Dilloway, Nate Young and Andrew WK
