Any recommendations as to good Elizabeth Veldon records, Raymond? She's quite prolific.

Thanks!
Start with "could you please stop raping me" - not for the politics (tho most of her stuff is political) but because it's gnarly.

Also check: "Iona" and "flow my tears" off the top of my head

Some of this stuff is more "experimental " than noise, per se

Got that Verma stuff a while ago. Very good.

http://wemisstheearth.bandcamp.com/

the Dada Trash Collage is A+ fun

OOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH BADNESS!

http://st37.bandcamp.com/album/glare

^spacerock classic. Orig. released in '95; I discovered it last year; it's one of my favorites.

I had hit up the band on MySpace and they seemed to imply that this was going to get a physical CD release too; as much as it goes against the grain of this thread, I really really really really hope that comes to pass...

Whoa, that Peter Gordon song IS amazing! Thanks so much for that, definitely never heard it before.

Also, really excited for that ST37 link. Thread is gold.

Garage rock from Champaigne, IL
http://thedirtyfeathers.bandcamp.com/

heavenly dreampop/powerpop thing from sydney, EP out in march, this song is totally beautiful

http://dayravies.bandcamp.com/

Sonoi: most recent band of Adam Busch, formerly of Manishevitz (early Jagjaguwar band, truly great):

http://sonoimusic.com/album/tropics-of-holland

Really cool, atmospheric rock. Occasionally a little "out" but always stately and well-crafted. Both Verlaine and Robert Wyatt influences evident (to me at least).

I like how the Dirty Feathers has a "do not play on your shitty laptop speakers" warning.

Live album from the descriptively-named Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble!

http://fuguguffu.bandcamp.com/album/darker-rooms
Exquisite noise caused by our own crut!

http://abunai.bandcamp.com/album/round-wound
Krautrock jams from the turn of the century!

awesome psych rock, sounds like something rockadelic would have put out

http://darksun.bandcamp.com/

Never thought to look up Abunai! on Bandcamp. Great band, sadly the band member's post-Abunai! material has been pretty much ignored. Joe had a really good record out on Camera Obscura & Brendan has had a couple of great outfits & recorded a solo album or 2, but don't think any of it has seen the light of day yet.

ok that Dark Sun link is AWESOME!

crut stuff is dope but imma get all rockist and say slightly mo songs, slightly less noize plz

i like the noise! and the songs, but i appreciate the ability to do both (well) a whole lot.

so do i! it was only a 'slightly'

LL otm; i listened to the first five tracks of the fuguguffu album and it sounded p incredible.

another vote for dark sun here too, while we're at it -- it was perfect to listen to while i puttered around in the early evening and tried to forget about work.

http://papir.bandcamp.com/album/papir
Recommended when you download one of the Dark Suns albums! Basically sounds like you'd expect!

Homemade psychedelia!

^ Just went live. Cover art by me.

But seriously. "Label" comp; feat. Sharpless, Bellows and Small Wonder (and some other stuff inc. Maxo, who is a 8-bit dude and weirdly prolific)

I've actually kinda stopped writing pop songs :/ I recorded all those vocal tracks when I was 20.

crut, your voice was a truly delightful surprise. much deeper than i expected!

^^^^

I have to admit, I thought a few of the 'pop' songs were inspired by John Maus

Wiht - The Harrowing of the North
http://wihtleeds.bandcamp.com/album/the-harrowing-of-the-north

Stoner/psych, two long instrumental songs. I'm torn between feeling like a fuckwit for missing this year (I saw the good reviews in blogs, just totally spaced on checking it out) and being delighted to have found something new and great.

this PAST year

Brotherhood Of Sleep - Dark As Light
http://brotherhoodofsleep.bandcamp.com/album/dark-as-light

Stoner/psych. This one was on my list, but may not have been on Bandcamp when I checked previously.

On the same tip as Brotherhood of Sleep:

http://spelljammer.bandcamp.com/album/inches-from-the-sun

http://threemileisland.bandcamp.com/

^played with these guys last night. Their set was a wildly hallucinatory mix of drone-metal and sampled film dialogue (mostly from obv sources: Network, og Willy Wonka, etc) but now am listening to Transcendental Hamburger and there's a bit of that (along with a modicum of slap bass) but it is much more straightforward stripped down stoner metal. No guitars; only bass and drums. Digging it quite a bit. Hella nice guys, too.

Guadalupe Plata (2011)
http://guadalupeplata.bandcamp.com/album/guadalupe-plata-2011

Spanish blues/surf. Check out their video for "Serpiente Negra" that comes with the download. Most gorgeous dancer I've ever seen, like Elena Anaya from Sex And Lucia!

Taking their name from Samuel R. Delany's apocalyptic sci-fi classic, Chicago-based Dhalgren's sound is rich and textured, with all four members contributing to a complex base of synth drone and processed vocals, under which a driving rhythm section occasionally appears to propel the music from dense ambience to ecstatic motorik synth rock.

couldn't say it better myself, super recommended if that description appeals to you

http://dhalgren.bandcamp.com/album/042210

america nova sounds good too from what's available for listening, but idk where to get it since apparently they don't want me to pay to download it.

The Father Costume, 2010
dhalgren-related feelies/felt inspired pop (i'm guessing here, but it's kinda obvious i think?) EP
cute cassette-era art too
listen to "i need to be told" if you want a representative sample

http://thefathercostume.bandcamp.com/album/the-mismade-girl-ep

A City Safe From Sea, 2010
http://acitysafefromsea.bandcamp.com/

I was roommates with one of the dudes in this band while they were writing/recording it, so I always felt weird about talking about it on ILM, but what great chaotic Unwound/Meneguar-influenced stuff, with trumpets and pitch-shifted riffs and big choruses. Still love it, still wish they'd ever play out.
