Encompassing comic strips, collage and sound art, York-based illustrator and musician Adam Higton's work documents the daily goings-on of the forest folk within the realm of the Cosmic Neighbourhood. This new collection sees Higton turn his attention to longform composition, with four meditative, refreshingly percussive jams occupying 40 minutes of tape.Sonically, Higton's work straddles new and old, taking modular electronics, flutes, bells and softly pattering drum machines, before colouring them all with the amber glow of some forgotten, psychedelic kids' TV programme. Higton's benign toots and echoing jingles bring to mind Daphne Oram's early delay experiments or the meandering playfulness of Tom Cameron. Radiophonic and time-worn, it still somehow sounds like the future.Recommended if you like Silver Apples, Beverly Glenn-Copeland, The Moomins.

DEDICATED TO BROOD DRIVES DOWN US-52."A first run through A Proposed Method for Determining Sanding Fitness by the Cincinnati / Columbus based no-wave / noise-rock trio Stella Research Committee speaks to the enduring legacy of the convulsive spasm of unregulated expression of the garroted power trio set-up. In it we hear a weaponized insurgency against form implanted into the concussive blasts of nerve-shredded guitars and electronics, hoarse shouts into the void and pummeling percussion undergirding the compositions with carpet-bombing intensity. Like all good noise-rock, the agitated output is an audible channeling of the absurd horror and malaise of life in a dying empire. There is no mythologizing of expression here. Disgraced Mets center fielder Lenny Dykstra steroid-fueled rants and Brainbombs death-threats are given to the same type of exegesis. A recognition that we are defined by our most naked and unhinged moments. Spiritual clarity while blasting Throbbing Gristle while screaming through the Midwestern dead space of I-71 between Columbus and Cincinnati.Stella’s subversion of the power-trio is on full display with their fifth full length. Comprised of Kevin Hall (guitar / vocals), Tony Squeri (electronics / keyboards) and Lauri Reponen (Drums) Determining Sanding Fitness channels all of the skronk and fury of AmRep noise-rock bands like Cherubs and Steel Pole Bath Tub. The inherent rawk-ness of a low end is replaced with a blast cabinet of pounded synths (“The Blast Cabinet Conference”), arpeggios with threatening auras (“Murdurd”), four-on-the-floor hard techno suggestions (“Nails”) and atonal drones (“River Rd.”) that seethe and loom in and through Hall’s percussive guitar work and Reponen’s free-jazz influenced percussion.The realization of this potent guitar / electronics / percussion format is given full expression on Determining Sanding Fitness. There is a tempering smolder of restraint between the sell-all noise assaults and the clever exploration of melody through simmering electronic passages. These passages explore the relationship between Squeri and Reponen’s trading relationships between anchoring the track’s tempo to the expressive and improvisatory space they are able to take up. It’s fascinating to hear this tension between scene setting set-up and crescendo after crescendo of percussive blasts.Fostered in Cincinnati’s feral noise scene, Stella Research Committee - along with bands like Hissing Tiles, Fruit LoOops and Daumier - have internalized the excesses of noise-rock and no-wave forefathers and have given birth to a sound that is universal in its barely contained primal yelp, but somehow quintessentially Midwestern in its austerity and directness."-Ryan Hall (Tome to the Weather Machine)

cloud rap, seapunk are at most a year after hypnagogic pop. vaporwave is at least a decade old too
first mention of hypnagogic pop on ilx is this thread by pfunkyboy in july 2009 about a wire cover story
first mention of cloud rap on ilx is me in the 2012 rolling rap thread in feb 2011. however, Lil B - I'm God produced by Clams Casino came out in 2009 and noz had a piece about it around 2010
first mention of sea punk on ilx is this thread from jan 2012 https://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?showall=true&bookmarkedmessageid=3197497&boardid=52&threadid=90812 which declares it "old news" in the first post
first mention of vaporwave on ilx is this thread from november 2012 vaporwave and deriative products
i agree that hypnagogic pop sounds more dated, though. maybe because no one aside from music critics ever used it? or 2009-10 is a cultural inflection point where microgenres on either side even if separated by months or a year can much more contemporary/dated?

Hell yeah, really looking forward to this album. They also stand out among the vaporwave milieu for doing really spectacular live sets. I saw them at Electronicon in 2019 and I remember their set feeling a notch above most of the other acts that day, or at least more pro/polished in comparison.

Amazing. It actually looks like a situation where the live arrangements of older songs were recorded "live in the studio" rather than in concert.
Speaking of, I'm still wrapping my head around all the 2021 releases by Zach Phillips-helmed projects, each one an avant-prog-pop masterpiece of a different flavor:
Zach Phillips - Feed A Pigeon, Breed A Rat (imaginary radio revue with a different guest vocalist on each song)Blanche Blanche Blanche - Seashells (great, super-overlooked "comeback" from these legends. Musically probably their mellowest, but still absolutely unhinged with some of the funniest lyrics I've ever heard)Fievel Is Glauque - God's Trashmen Sent to Right the Mess (ZP + vocalist Ma Clément and a rotating cast of backup players, addictive proggy jazz-pop miniatures. Seems to be the most popular of these albums by far--currently 1,880 ratings on RYM vs. less than 500 combined for the other three)Perfect Angels - Exit From the Ultra-World (ZP + Olia Eichenbaum on vox, bossanova/easy-listening aesthetic so probably the most accessible of the bunch, but the writing is still in how-many-chords-and-time-changes-can-I-fit-in-a-two-minute-pop-song mode. Beautiful cover of Karin Krog's "The Meaning of Love")
Anyone else dig these? I just think it's a stunning achievement to have dropped all four of these albums in a single year. It's weird, complex yet hooky ADHD pop that I find endlessly replayable.

I've been wondering what Utopian Virtual is, but not curious enough to check it outI just assume all those genres justify people who can't write a song that can be played in public but are good with names for bedroom sonic experimentationIt's like a parallel industry at this point: "outsider house", stuff marketed for 2.0 Internet, with limited to no crossover or legacyI remember early PC Music, Maint Attrakionz, Lil B, and the insane efforts at making them idols and canonizing, I guess it worked to some extent

Yeah I think Nonlocal Forecast (Fire-Toolz/Angel Marcloid project) is like the ultimate realization of whatever "Utopian Virtual" is (basically Ferraro Far Side Virtual-core)
Re: Zach Phillips If you like the Fievel album you're sure to appreciate the other three from 2021. I'd start with the solo album, which covers the most stylistic ground.

Any thoughts on the new Bladee/Ecco2k album Crest? I'm loving it--ethereal electro-dream-pop sprinkled with a truckload of aural fairy dust.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUatbsdnDYA
I feel like I've seen Bladee/Drain Gang get some hate around these parts, but I've been pretty deep into the stuff for a minute. For me the weakest part of their music is the limited-range singsong nature of the melodies, but there's something I find really moving and engaging about the aesthetic in general. Bladee's EXETER is a good place to start if you're unfamiliar--gorgeous minimal production, super concise.
― J. Sam, Tuesday, 29 March 2022 16:48 (two years ago) link
bladee is a guy whose creativity i respect but whose, for lack of a better term, wimpy-ass vocals make it hard for me to listen for extended periods. i did dig 2020's 333 album a bit, and i'm a massive fan of drain gang producer gud's output in general.
the above song isn't really speaking to me, i'm afraid.
― in places all over the world, real stuff be happening (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 29 March 2022 17:16 (two years ago) link
Yeah I feel you, his vocals are definitely love-it-or-hate-it. EXETER is an all-Gud production, which might be why it stands out above most of his other stuff for me.

the Vitesse X album is quite a bit stranger than I remembered. kinda has this music from the other side of the wall vibe to it. 100% Electronica is putting out a lot of really cool records like this, where they're 90s throwbacks but in a "this is what music in 2023 might've sounded like in an alternate timeline" kind of way.

IDK what hyperpop is anymore, but enjoying Trust Fund Ozu.

Three new Death’s Dynamic Shroud albums released today. I can’t keep up with all this, but I’ll try.

you'll try.......living like this?

two of them are remakes of previous fanclub-only albums apparently. i'm seeing people on rym compare one to the blue nile (???) so i will check that one out at least

it sounds like Midnight Tangerine and Keys to the Gate were both essentially remade from scratch, though I haven't heard the originals. I have heard Transcendence Bot though and it's great. I think that one is just being released as-is.

i finally got around to listening to a Rebzyyx comp a friend made, it's good stuff but there's also a lot of weird drama regarding impersonators and stuff and damn the Internet is fucked up, you know?

OK so WTF is this "Denpa" shit, anyway? Like hikikomori hyperpop that's obsessed with moe... like 4chan people but cisgender? Or something? It seems, like... adjacent to this thread. Somehow.
Anyway it sounds good but it also sounds like the dialectic is maybe kind of fucked? I don't know.

why does the new death's dynamic shroud sound like Muse?
― Muad'Doob (Moodles), Wednesday, 29 November 2023 17:50 (seven months ago) link
Specifically talking about Keys To The Gate. I didn't even realize they had several other new ones out until I looked at this thread.

They released three LPs on the same day a few weeks ago
― calstars, Wednesday, 29 November 2023 18:13 (seven months ago) link
pretty nice they're still keeping up the insane release schedule despite their music becoming less sample-based
that said they've kind of got a weird dynamic going on where "death's dynamic shroud" is more an umbrella term for anything the three members do, in fact I think of their 50+ albums only maybe 3 or 4 of them have actually been actively worked on by all three. it would be like if everything the members of YMO did was released under the name "Yellow Magic Orchestra". still pretty amazing consistency from them, I don't think there's a single dds release I've actually disliked

so I guess discussion of the new Claire Rousay belongs in this thread? I don't know where else I could post about it
