wow this is going to confuse the f#@k out of some people. Lots of interesting albums have come out of the last few weeks. Something for everyone here.
Dysrhythmia - Psychic Maps
This isn't something we would expect to see released on Relapse Records - better know for pushing crazy hardcore, grind and death spasm nutiness. Dysrhythmia is an instrumental prog rock 3-piece. If the world were a fairer place, the guitarist would be held in the same exalted company as Van Halen and other so-called guitar gods. This music is devoid of trendiness, and pro-tools trickery… it’s almost indescribable. If you have any interest in rock music, song writing, song structure or would just like to have your jaw left broken on the ground, you need this.
Horse Meat Disco
Horse Meat Disco are a crew who put on spectacular gay dance club nights around the world… how hilarious is the name! This selection of lesser know disco inferno bangers, is nothing short of brilliant. Frankly I don’t care how much of a hard man you are, if you aren’t doing the running man early 80’s style, then you don’t have a pulse. This is more about the 8-minute disco jam than the 3-minute made-for-the-charts crap you’ll usually run screaming from. It’s unmixed, so this is perfect for the DJ, but even better for listening at home. Pure guilty bliss.
JJ – JJ No.2
Nothing is known about JJ. Is it one guy, a duo or a whole band? This guy/duo/band is cloaked in mystery. All we know is that JJ have released this debut album of blissed out summer indie electro pop sweetness on the label started by the guys in The Tough Alliance. This is pretty much where this album is aiming at. The subtlety is amazing; each song sounding like you have fallen in love for the first time. Check out track “ecstacy” for a floaty drugged out pop-take on a hip-hop beat. Go Sunday arvo come down!
Between the Buried and Me - Colors
Wow, am i late to the party with these guys.. this came out in 2007! As i am so fecking out of touch.. all i'll say is: pop, rock, death metal, opera, TV sitcom, prog, melodic angry who said what now?!?!?!
Looking forward to:
Sean Diddy Combs - Last Train to Paris, anyone who has been following his posts on twitter probably can't wait till this thing comes out and he falls flat on his face. I hope i'm wrong, but i bet i'm not
Jay-Z - The Blueprint 3 'nough said
Muse - The Resistance, please don't disappear up your own arses
Air - Love 2, a fair way off, but still hoping they can pull their career out of the fire
