I'm kind of with Whiney on this one, but mostly because other than The Heart Pumps Kool-Aid, which is a veritable sea of calm, I haven't been able to get into any squeaky voiced hypergarbage monster mash stuff— I hate pop music, it doesn't help it to make it more annoying lol.

― imago, Wednesday, 16 February 2022 15:29 (two years ago) link
Yeah, I'm actually in favour of separating non-notated EA/musique concrète and sound art out of "classical" (not that it appears in that thread much anyway) and free improv out of "jazz", and good with separating brickwalled Ke$hacore (a couple of songs of which I've enjoyed) into its own category.

A few things from Epic Games Friday:
This split tape from Sullow/The Silver Field is really cool, Sullow is psychedelic banjo Henry Flynt hillbilly vibes with some wild improv drumming, The Silver Field reminds me a bit of Current 93 but more chill and not as annoying, really sick tbh, been listening to it non-stop.https://betwixtbetweentapes.bandcamp.com/album/betwixt-between-8

This record is really something else.
https://matchess.bandcamp.com/album/sonescent
It reads like hyperbole, but it is doing a lot of interesting work psychoacoustically— hi-pitched sine waves will emerge from nostalgic folk-pop into muffled fiddling...Like how Basic Channel was doing "a basement techno club from several blocks away," this is like "someone fiddling with synthesis while a band practices next door and also the dumpster is being unloaded outside the window." Really neat.

Rough-hewn and exhilarating, EL Khat's second album "Albat Alawi Op.99" is a deep dive into leader Eyal el Wahab's Yemenite roots and their inspired re-imaginings. A careening orchestra of percussion, horns, strings, electricity and el Wahab's own DIY instruments. Mesmerizing retro-futurist sounds.

I don't know if I really get this thread's remit, but the new Rachika Nayar is impressive. I like it a lot more than her previous album. The way it bursts into ravey technicolor at times never fails to delight (though it might be alienating if all you want is Grouper-y banks of melancholic guitar fog), and in general this sounds like a big step up in ambition and achievement to me

Some Bandcamp stuff
- New two-song single from ---__--___, 'Divine Berth' If you liked last year's 'The Heart Pumps Kool-Aid,' this is the same sort of thing— "new" classical vibes with auto-tuned vocals, very unsettling and great. https://sethgraham.bandcamp.com/album/divine-berth
- A record from Baum Sae, 'Communication'from the release page: "Baum Sae is a collaborative project between drummer Soojin Suh, and traditional vocalist Borim Kim combined with Gina Hwang on Geomungo, a traditional Korean plucked instrument. Together they formed a new project "Baum Sae" (translation: Night Birds) in 2020, combining traditional Korean musical elements with group improvisations and original compositions." https://soojinsuh.bandcamp.com/album/communication
- lilien rosarian, 'every flower in my garden'tape manipulation, radio interference, bells, very beautiful hazy music with some occasional moments of "whoa" mindfuck https://lilienrosarian.bandcamp.com/album/every-flower-in-my-garden
- Nick Storring, 'Music from Wéi'Solo piano, very beautiful and unexpectedly strange— goes from sounding like soundtrack music to sounding like Morton Feldman. Great. https://nickstorring.bandcamp.com/album/music-from-w-i
