Ukraine-based electronic producer6TH Oversupply (a.k.a.Dari Maksymova) presents her new single'Sokolonko' , inspired by an former harvest song. This is the first offering from the anthology 'Step' (the Ukrainian give-and-take for Steppe), which she was working on when Russian federation invaded Ukraine, turning the country into a war zone.

"This is a Ukrainian vocal from Donbas, my dear home region, which Russian federation is violent apart right now. I didn't know if I'd have a run a risk to do it later. In my research, as I learned more than virtually folk Ukrainian music, I noticed that modern culture has plenty of references to music from western and central parts of my state, but nothing from the east.  Nothing from my dwelling. Culturally it simply didn't exist. So I decided I wanted to modify that residuum and bring songs from East Ukraine dorsum to life, to remind myself and everyone that Donbas is a historical part of Ukraine, no thing how badly Putin wants to destroy it," saysDari Maksymova.

"If people don't recollect their own history, someone tin can rewrite information technology for them. And and then come with guns to "defend" Russian people in Ukraine, Moldova, or Serbia."

In 2020, 6TH CROWD emerged on the electronic music scene with her debut'Avert The Void' EP, which addressed sure problems regarding the newfound COVID-nineteen situation, social distancing, lockdown and quarantines. In 2021, she released the 'What Happened' EP via French label50 Degrees North Recordingson the trail of 2020 singles1312′ and'Не вивожу (Ne Vyvozhu)' .

"Over a week agone, Russia invaded Ukraine, shelling cities and killing hundreds of civilians. The Russian president calls information technology a "special operation" for "saving Russian-speaking people." A more than accurate term for it is "war". And even more accurately is the intention behind this war: Russification, and Russification is cultural genocide. It'south articulate that the ancient Greeks don't exist, just we know of them considering their cultural artifacts accept been preserved. In the absenteeism of their books, literature and artwork, we wouldn't otherwise know annihilation well-nigh them every bit a people. Their history would simply cease to be. That's the goal of Russification – to remove all of the distinct and unique ethnic histories and merge them into one," saysDari Maksymova.

"When Communists gathered different nations under the umbrella of the USSR, they badly needed to rewrite history. They needed everyone to share the same banal faux ethnicity, they needed people to forget their roots. So people would never get second thoughts about belonging to 'the great empire", never question orders and the political party line.  While, in newly-built cities, their Russification program was going pretty well, people in villages connected to exist a existent pain in the ass.  They lived and worked far from centralized sources of information and relied on the government very little… and didn't blitz to go Soviet people. Aye, they lived in the Soviet Union and yes, they worked in Soviet fields, only one matter they did that drove the Russians crazy: the villagers spoke Ukrainian and sang their ain songs."

She adds: "Before people had Spotify, they sang to themselves –  while working in fields, while fighting, getting married… they sang all the time. Those songs passed from 1 to some other, along with very important information nearly people. What linguistic communication they spoke, what they believed, what they hoped, who their heroes were. Songs from people are besides songs about people."

British avant-pop artistNick Hudson presents his new unmarried'Lights Svoboda' (translates as 'Lights Freedom'), recorded together withKianna Bluish, his bandmate inThe University of Sun. Out in time for Bandcamp Fri, all proceeds will go towards charities direct involved in humanitarian aid efforts in Ukraine.

While the framework of this song originated six years ago during epic recording sessions for The Academy Of Sun's 2020 opus anthology'The Quiet Earth', information technology didn't end up being included on that anthology. Now, global reality has tragically and uncannily come to resonate with the song's poetically fractured scenes of dictatorship, nuclear threat and razed landscapes.

Returning from a month in the formerly Soviet republic of Georgia and watching in horror as Russian federation launched its attack on Ukraine, Nick felt desperate to employ his skill set to a tangible purpose within the crisis and hither we accept it – a desolate hymn woven with the plaintive vocals of Kianna Blue and the haunting schisms of the Faemi M1 analogue synth.

"The opening features a recording I made in Georgia, into my Soviet cassette recorder, of my xx-yr-quondam Russian exile friend who fled to Georgia to avoid facing criminal charges for protesting Navalny's imprisonment. I had him say "liberty, hope and truth" in Russian. He's headed to join the Ukrainian army this week," says Nick Hudson.

"It features myself on piano, voice, Soviet analogue synth, melodica and field recordings, and Kianna Blue on backing vocals and bass. Originally written for The Quiet Earth but now uncannily and undesirably relevant.'

A Bandcamp exclusive, 100% of the proceeds will be donated in support of ii charities conveying out humanitarian piece of work on the ground in Ukraine –Red Cantankerous Ukraine andRazom For Ukraine – each of them covering slightly different areas of assistance. Further,Revolut Banking concern will lucifer contributions to Red Cross Ukraine over the next week.Download the unmarried via Bandcamp andlearn how you tin support Ukraine and its people at this disquisitional moment in globe history.

A impact ofReverend Horton Heat? Reminiscent ofReverend Glasseye.Jerry Jerry and the Sons of Rhythm Orchestra likewise came to listen. I accept no idea what in the heck is going on. A band that toes the line betwixt genius and insane, matching the frantic antics ofThee Oh Sees with off-kilter eccentricities ofBlackness Lips andFat White Family. Titillating in every sense of the give-and-take, the new full-length is a freight train of explosive riffs and unbridled synergy. Just for fun, let's throw inManraygun with their smooth guitar work.

Thirsty Optics present a collection of songs,A Sure Regard, written bySamuel Ebner and produced past fellow ring memberPhilipp Moosbrugger. The ring enjoyed independence while they arts and crafts-brewed their debut record. Each track sits comfortably inside its niche and encompasses a wide array of musical influences along the way, with Chickenbeat, a reference to garage rock vets,The Monks. Pop Sent was initially composed for a 17-piece jazz orchestra. The spine-tinglingly ominous focus track Alaska is a tribute to jazz godsStan Getz andBenny Golson.

Amidst the rich and wily capital of swaggering riffs, steel guitars and depression-strung vocals,Thirsty Eyes' debut is inoculated with hard-hitting themes such as homelessness (Honolulu Homicide), chauvinistic fathers (In Viagra), questioning your childhood values (838) and loving someone with Asperger's (Sweetness Marian). Despite these minor keyhole insights of the thoughtful lyricism of Thirsty Eyes, they want the album to be equally much the audiences as their own:

"We see this title as a sort of sail, it speaks for itself, and the viewer is invited to utilise his/her ain imagination. We practise not wish to interfere with this process by stressing it with further explanations."

Deliberately aberrant, rough, and unpolished,Thirsty Optics are recognized equally one of the meaning pillars in the falling masonry ofVienna'southward modern raunch, damning gimmicky prepossessions for the cocky-of import, humourless, and tiresome. After v years of fine-tuning, theAustrian rawk-due north-rollers bequeath their debut albumA Certain Regard.

TheThirsty Eyes message addresses the growing materialistic culture of mod social club, where people are increasingly driven past the external, the flashy and the superficial. With a particular focus on the indoctrinating power of social media, the grouping coined their name from the act of staring longingly at other people'due south lifestyles and belongings or existence thirsty-eyed.

This motif of questioning the world is carried into the debut album, characterizing "Tempest and stress, decency and humility." With its title derived from theCannes Film Festival category United nations Certain Regard. A prize given to filmmakers whose work is unusual and not easily categorized,Thirsty Eyes set up the tone of their debut album in three elementary words,A Certain Regard.

I love this album from start to finish, and the lyrical content is an assortment of themes from the mundane to the tragic. PlayA Certain Regard, and play it frequently.A Certain Regard volition quench the thirst for music.Thirsty Eyes for thirsty ears. Bartender set up some other circular.

I love the vocals onPop Sent; it sends shivers upwards and down my spine.

Pop Sent drops onquaternary March 2022,and following is A Certain Regard on25th March 2022, both released onHaldern Pop Recordings.

Nosotros would accept an fantabulous ring ifMichael Been had been fromBollnäs instead of Oklahoma, andMarianne Faithful had contributed vocals alongsideArcade Burn down.

That is speculative fiction. Here are the facts, null but the facts. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/just-the-facts/

MFMB is a band founded in 2005 in Bollnäs, Sweden.

They are currently billowy between Malmö and Stockholm.

The band consists of half-dozen members:

Joakim Lindberg (he/him) – guitars

Vic Narin (they/them) – vocals

Christine Björk (she/her) – vocals

Kristoffer Bäckström (he/him) – drums

Erik Nilsson (he/him) – drums

Sebastian Hedberg (he/him) – bass

Their new albumSugar is seven years in the making, mark 9 years since their final full-length release,Colossus (2013).

It has been a bumpy ride.

The tours followingColossus took their cost, leavingMFMB in a state of relational friction.

Work on a new album began.

A consensus decided that composing songs should be democratic.

With each member contributing something creative to the mix.

Further tension followed this resolution.

They were not always the best of friends.

Priorities inverse.

Members quit, then joined again.

It was never like shooting fish in a barrel.

You can hear it on the new album,Sugar.

Every song results from differing opinions fighting it out until they accomplish a compromise.

Every fine detail meticulously tended to.

It is the new withal familiar sound ofMFMB, ringing purer than ever before.

The resulting album,Sugar, was written, recorded and produced inStudio Sickan in Malmö, which the band'due south guitaristJoakim Lindberg runs.

Now, here are a few words from the band.

"This ane, just kind of, fell into place, all by itself. It was very early in the process of making the new album, and we thought that maybe the whole thing would exist this easy. Merely let the songs finish themselves; it's a cakewalk! We were very wrong.Sugar did, however, ready the standard (besides every bit the championship) for the rest of the album.

"It's about the weight of being and the deceptive allure of taking the piece of cake fashion out."

The contempo focus single 'Harvest.' has a new cut as a nighttime and more ambient offering, focusing more on the darker and atmospheric energy they have been cultivating in their absence.

Speaking nearly 'Harvest,' the band describes it as "A vocal well-nigh the fearfulness of losing it all. Harvest established the specific kind of gloomy ambience that we wanted for the tape as a whole. We're very addicted of the guitar solo in this one. Correct at the end. It's a asset."

Ending this decade-long hiatus, the members ofMFMB take remained highly prolific throughout the last few years. With many pursuing their projects and guitaristJoakim Lindberg becoming one of Sweden's most in-need producers, working withHey Elbow,Spunsugar,This Is Caput and many more. Now is the time to see the group return to the head of the pack every bit they plan for new textile to come over the next few months.

MFMB are also notorious for their baking live performances. The mixture of dual drummers and two atomic number 82 singers has given the band a distinctly raw and visceral sound, which we accept long missed in their absence.

MFMB's new album 'Sugar' is available to stream and download from the 25th of March viaAdrian Recordings.

The closer on this album, Six-effigy Incomdue east, is zero short of epic. I would honey to come acrossMFMB live and close the show with this number. Which will happen get-go, them touring western Canada or me touring Sweden? I recall the money would country on me travelling to Sweden and spending some time with family living there.

Information technology's incredible music anyhow that you lot hear information technology, live, streamed, or physical copies.

Sugar är en fantastisk inspelning.

I seldom do single songs or stand-alone videos, but I am making an exception for this ane.

The creative free energy comes from Friendmaker. Hailing from Carrickmacross in Monaghan County, near the border with Northern Republic of ireland, David Marron (vocals and guitar), is joined by Maolíosa McMahon (vocals and keys), Paul Finn (guitar and vocals), Paul Markey (bass) and Fintan Marron (drums). Friendmaker combines Marron's endearing storytelling arroyo and insightful lyrics with a rich soundtrack of advisedly crafted folk-tinged indie rock.

"Nosotros similar creating songs where every notation and every lyric is carefully considered, only we also similar embracing the adventitious stuff. We similar to make songs that take a familiar warmth before bringing the listener with us to darker places. Then nosotros utilise melody and humour to keep the listener there forever! Ha! but yeah, we're just a rock ring making the kind of music we would want to listen to. Nosotros live for those floaty moments when a song begins to magic into life," says David Marron.

For David and Friendmaker, information technology would take a global pandemic and an unsold car to go back on rail, diving deeper into music with the isolation of the lockdowns spurring him to be more social in his inventiveness. David was also faced with a life-irresolute pick: "In early 2020, I had saved a few quid to upgrade my car. If lockdown hadn't happened, I definitely would've changed my car, and I don't retrieve any of this new fabric would exist. Thankfully the money I had saved for a automobile was instead invested in proper recording equipment, and so, over six months, I built a studio and began writing and recording. New ideas flowed seamlessly. The new environment was inspiring, and the songs kept coming. I was writing the best music I had ever written, and you lot'll be glad to know my automobile is still hanging on likewise, only only."

On the video, Marron notes, "I used the lyrical themes equally a jumping-off signal for a tangential narrative. We're introduced to a confused character, confronted past two temptress figures inspired by the Selkies & Sirens of Celtic Sociology. In this context, they represent opposing poles of idea, the left encephalon, the right brain, certainty and incertitude, the proverbial ii paths. Our character is drawn to the bounding main every bit his mind dances in thought between harmony and anarchy. He seeks control of the inner turmoil and, through that journey, realizes as he nears his point of breaking that it is the very obsession of control that errs his equilibrium and that information technology is in the actual relinquishment of say-so that he finds an inner peace….. for at present anyway. At the finish, we leave our protagonist where we commencement met him. He knows like difficulties may lie alee, simply the experience will exit him better prepared for battle."

On March 3rd, 'Y'all, Me & Everything Else' will be released via the band'due south Imprint House of Strange Vinyl and available everywhere digitally, including Bandcamp.

I have a proficient problem. Then, hither'south the deal. Occasionally I get an album in the mail request if I would exist interested in doing a review. I'm not also fond of negative reviews, and so I delete and move on to the side by side i if in that location is a stinker. I don't get many of those, so that is not a problem or the problem. Nigh of the albums that I get are good, and I enjoy listening to them and and then writing my thoughts near what I heard. No problemo, I tin do that easy peasy. The audio problem is the artists and bands that soar above and beyond the hoi polloi.

I have i of those albums staring me downwardly and challenging me to write fifty-fifty one iota most it. The album is from a band that I wrote nigh dorsum in January of this yr,Telefís. I did a short review of their EP "Falun Gong Dancer," which I gave a glowing review. That was shut to being a trouble, information technology was knocking at the door of that rarified temper. ThenTelefís cranked their music up to xi with their new full-length album, 'a hAon', Wimple Discs will release it on March 4, 2022. I am typing this on March 2. I got the album in the mail service on Feb 24. I accept hada hAon languishing in my inbox for a week, while I wrestled with the trouble of what to say about an anthology that leaves me speechless.

Tactic numberane, when I am stunned across words, deflect. Here are some interesting facts virtually the musicians involved, cutting and pasted from the printing release.

Telefís (the Irish gaelic discussion for Tv set, pronounced Tele-feesh) is a collaboration between two acclaimed ex-pat Irish iconoclasts, in-demand composer/mixer/producerGarret "Jacknife" Lee  (U2, R.East.M., Pocket-sized Mouse, The Killers, Snow Patrol, Crystal Castles, Editors)and singer-lyricist-composerCathal Coughlan  (Microdisney, Fatima Mansionsand many acclaimed solo works). Having known each other vaguely in Ireland'southward early on 80s mail-punk scene,Jacknife, currently based in L.A. andCathal, a native of Cork, lives in London. A timely re-introduction past a mutual friend led to the two spending 2020 trading ideas and musical files during the lockdown, hatching plans for a satirical, mischievous examination of Irish history and the popular culture of their lifetimes, which the two accept labelled .." a corrosive nostalgia."

Tactic numbertwo is to add a quote from the artist/s.

"Collaborating in this way, with a dynamic and consummate artist, who has admission to a broad range of skills which I don't take, but with whom I share many common interests and cultural/historical reference points, has been one of the highlights of my artistic life. It'southward fabricated me so glad that I've been able to remain active for long plenty to run into something like this happen. Easily as spontaneous and full of surprises equally any in-person collaboration, it's shaken loose many weird and hopefully wonderful things in my exact workshop. And nobody has heard me apply my vocalisation in some of these ways before now, either," saysCathal Coughlan.

Jacknife Lee adds: "I'd merely finished mangling a Luke Haines and Peter Buck record. Luke knows Cathal and re-introduced us. On the beginning or second correspondence, we idea we should make some music together. Music is probably the only way I tin properly communicate with someone. I sentCathal the backing track that would get "Nosotros Demand," and he sent me back the vocal, and we went dorsum and forth from at that place. Lockdowns and travel restrictions forced us to piece of work remotely, and I think helped us get to where nosotros got and so quickly.Cathal is, without doubt, ane of the finest lyricists of our time and writes like no one else. Some of the vocals he sent over made me flare-up out laughing with giddiness and delight at the novelty of them. Mischievous, dark, arcane, crispy fresh, and always unexpected. Every song with a backstory that could exist a novel. This is easily the most enjoyable and rewarding music that I've been involved with."

Cathal Coughlan comments on 'Ballytransnational': "A gaunt wooden rollercoaster overlooks the flatlands leading to a land border which, for many years until at present, used to count for nothing. It used to exist the topic of rueful recollections from decades past, but the received wisdom was that the bad old days were over, and seamless moving of fluid identities and capital at present ruled the day. Public health concerns and political ferment have at present given way to protectionism of many kinds. As the generation who understood the damage caused by that border passes away, the border's fourth dimension has come again. And it says: you lot're never going back.'

Tactic numberiii, fade out.

Function celebration, part satire,Telefís is an exploration of nostalgia equally experienced in the present 24-hour interval by natives of what was formerly a culturally sealed-off pocket-sized country on the very fringes of Europe. It also points a critical finger at today's global hierarchies, inspiring the strange characters and caricatures that spring from Coughlan's fertile imagination. Stark forms of imagery, bizarre to the modern heart and ear but treated as routine in the pre-globalization world, are pushed at the listener and viewer. On the musical side, Jacknife Lee uses his extensive sonic palette to create an irresistible mix of cinematic instrumentals and electro-funk backdrops full of melodic, squelchy synths and booming bass lines, often with a cheeky nod to electro-pop history.

Tactic numberfour. On March 4, the'a hAon'album will be available on CD and Vinyl, both with a two-sided lyric canvas insert and across digital platforms. Physical orders are bachelor athttps://ffm.to/telefisahaon ,and the digital album can be pre-ordered at https://orcd.co/telefisahaon.

Tactic number five is non a tactic, just my have on this remarkable album,a hAon. I like information technology. I similar information technology a lot. I am particularly fond of the video for the vocal "We Need."a hAon is a solid ix.five/10. Fourth dimension volition tell if it evolves into the rare ten/x category. It is certainly on a trajectory to there.

British indie pop artist22 Oceans presents their new single 'Domicile', a beautiful slice of Americana-tinged minimalist electronica previewing their new 5-track 'Home' EP, released via72rpm Records and mastered past renowned producerMarc Joy  (Key Scream, Mike Peters, Oasis, Bernard Butler, Golden Fable, Louise Trehy)atFerndale Studios in Wales.

Since emerging on the indie music scene in 2020, 22 Oceans has been presenting a steady string of new music. While influenced by lxxx's influenced synthpop, their new single brings this artist into new territory while retaining their trademark ethereal vocals.

Based in Merseyside, this project is the brainchild ofMike Guy.While originally a solo project, 22 Oceans has blossomed into a fruitful trio, graced past the vocal and songwriting talents of twin sistersCarys and Keeley Hughes, whose stellar tandem of song harmonies complement a backdrop of lush, layered sounds.

'Home' follows upwardly the singles'Drifting' and'Cleaved'feat.Jo Madden, both of which were released in 2021. The early 2020 'Butterfly Candy' EP saw Mike Guy interact with Wales-based dreampop artistLights That Change, while the subsequent'Paradise' EP featured Liverpool vocalistRachael Dunn and likewise involvedOrchestral Manoeuvres In the Dark (OMD)co-founder and drummerMalcolm Holmes.

"The vocal 'Domicile' was inspired by ideas about returning to the comfort of your home, which doesn't necessarily have to be a identify, only rather the people who have made a large impact on your life," saysMike Guy.

"The song is rooted in the feeling of happiness you feel when thinking almost the memories you've made with people you savour spending time with. It is a reflection of how we are ever connected to those we love, no affair how much time may accept passed."

'Never Betray The states'https://youtu.be/Ll7nO0cXI_A
'Fast-Forward Girl'https://youtu.be/kJX7Uujc9E4

This is VONAMOR, and they make music. Permit me to introduce you.

On vocals, bass and metal flute we have Giulia Bottaro

Her sister Francesca Bottaro makes music on the drum station, sequencer, saxophone, clarinet, and synth.

Luca Guidobaldi does vocals, and he does them very well.

Francesco Bassoli is heard on the LP playing guitars and loops.

For live performances, Martino Cappelli tin can be heard on guitars, mandolin, bouzouki, oud, and more than loops.

"VONAMOR is an escape program, our treasure isle, a thick and savage jungle that gives y'all the chance to allow your prayers and whispers reflect like a church. Nosotros used the music in this album to walk paths that we hadn't known before, to connect Rome to Paris to Berlin to Beijing, to mix techno music with folk, to let our voices and bodies mingle and dance to an incredibly weird yet familiar vanquish, and finally to search for a blast of honey and lite into the nighttime of our everyday'south life: aye,VONAMOR is a boom!" says Luca Guidobaldi.

"Through our darkwave music and words, we search for the question, the ambiguity, the multiform influence of a multifariousness of demons. We feel the urgency of questioning ourselves, our fellow human beings and the reality effectually us," says Giulia Bottaro.

VONAMOR incorporates electronic beats with elements of punk, hits of classical music and clever lyrics written in several different languages, including English, Italian, French, German and even Chinese.

VONAMOR likewise has more than passing involvement in Russian history, especially the final hundred years, give or have a decade. The first hint of this is their band name. I googled vonamor and found next to nothing. I thought information technology might be associated with amor, the Spanish discussion for love and von is used to found places of origin. And it might be the start of something lovely, or it could be a ruse to distract me.

Considering it then occurred to me that itVONAMOR isROMANOV spelled backwards. Then afterward listening to this album one-half a dozen times and coming upwardly empty-handed, I went back, and I listened to the lyrics and the music in a new light. That new light shone upon the terminate of the Russian Empire through the Bolshevik revolution that led to the creation of Soviet Russia, which birthed the Soviet Union and eventually became the nation of Russia that nosotros have today.

Through clever lyrics and the use of music as a medium to tell stories,VONAMOR takes the states on a journey starting in "Empire 2049." They begin at the finish of the story in many ways, such as placing us in an abandoned Soviet building. But they tie Russia of today to the revolution of over a hundred years ago, "a place where all your enemies would bring y'all and tie you lot up." Not much has changed over all those years, and nonetheless, "your empire grieves for you lot."

Lucky Yous, "the world as y'all think you know it is ending." In fact, "all empires are catastrophe" through the Bully War, the Bolshevik Revolution and Ukraine today. "We've got merely the walls left and the wars left, and they're not so cold anymore." History is relegating the Cold War to the history books and ushering in a new era. A new age where "At that place's no more truth, it's all fake news and fake truths and things that take been misunderstood. Misunderstood. Be afraid."

We should exist afraid because what nosotros see happening from the comfort of our homes may not be this way for long. Be afraid. Be very afraid.Lucky you.

Never Betray Usmight take some deeper pregnant than what we hear but what grabs me on this i is the haunting vocals and that exhilarating bass driving the vocal forrard.

I'll skip forth a couple of songs here. They are practiced ones, too, simply I likeFemale parent Dark.It builds on a riff that carries u.s. through what I call back is French, but information technology doesn't fifty-fifty matter at this stage because I am beingness carried away by the music. It is fast, it is furious, it is honey, it is fear, it is a plea—a plea for you to stay past my side. Please stay past my side because I am agape.

Fast Forwards Daughter is a thrashing track that brought visions of Grace Slick to mind, which takes usato the closing track of this anthology,Wilderness.Betwixt the get-go of this album with the Empire of the Romanov family unit, where does all this lead us? It led the Romanov family unit to the wilderness. In the wilderness of Russia, the remains of Nicholas, Alexandra and three of their children were found. We have travelled from an empire to a wilderness in 36 minutes. What a trip! CheersVONAMOR

That is a terrible title to this web log, my apologies to the ringPanjoma. I hope the remainder of this web log is in better gustatory modality. Panjoma started every bit a musical entity in 2006, around the nucleus ofMary Panjoma (vocals, keyboard, product) andPatrik Nilsson (bass, drum machines, samplers, production). Finding common ground upon meeting, they got married and gave birth to a band calledPanjoma. Pat and Mary remain committed to their shared musical quest despite their subsequent divorce.

Panjoma's studio and live performance members (past and nowadays) includeRicardo Acevedo (Lost Cat Magnet, O'Clock),Ritchard Napierkowski(The Nimbus, Ritchual, Admiration Destroyed), John Ousely (Structure Paper Records, Cosmic Pets),Richard Evans (Rivers Desire) andChris Alvarez (Saul Williams, John Spencer Blues Explosion). An impressive lineup that helpsPanjoma make dandy music.

The EP' Sunday and Moon',Panjoma'southward starting time release in eight years, followed 2014's'Personacide'and 2012'due south'Panjoma' albums. What genre box is their music in? I call it music. The press release called information technology an avant-garde darkwave electro femme-pop DMT-jazz ring with a funky edge. Panjoma'southward sound is as eclectic as its influences. Influences range from Bjork, Aphex Twin, Orbital and Squarepusher to Thundercat, Nine Inch Nails, Primus, Daft Punk, Le Chic, Mr. Fingers, Jazzanova and Depeche Fashion.

"Our influences behind the 'Sunday and Moon' EP are love, philosophy, and psychedelics. The 'Sunday and Moon' single, which drives the dreamy vibe behind the whole EP, is all about how the Sunday and Moon are forever following each other, forever longing to exist next to each other but forever beingness unable to exist together. The theme transitions into dreams, where annihilation is possible," saysMary Panjoma.

Panjoma experiment with conventional instruments used in anarchistic ways. E-bows on bass and filtered pianos are in their arsenal, likewise as a vast array of drum machines, samplers, keyboards, software programs, and synthesizers.

One time again, I found myself listening to a musical entity that I knew goose egg well-nigh and had to search out their back catalogue and go to know them. While not all-encompassing, information technology is however captivating. "Personacide" got my attention, and I had to heed to it a couple of times and let it sink because a lot was going on. They used sampling to significant effect, and I found I had to sit still and permit the music come to me. I couldn't listen to it as groundwork. It required my full attention. There are piddling gems tucked away hither and there that would be easily missed otherwise. The aforementioned goes for their self-titled follow-upwards, with the cover ofState of war Pigs existence the listening gem that caught my full attention.

'Dominicus and Moon' and 'Gratis' are out at present beyond digital platforms, includingSpotify , Beatport andApple Music. The 'Sun and Moon' EP will exist released on Feb 26 and ordered directly from the artist viaBandcamp.

Manchester hugger-mugger outfitThe Speed Of Audiopresent'Blood Sweat And Tears', the darkest song on their acclaimed'Museum of Tomorrow' anthology; where buzzing fuzz guitar lines sally from a delicate audio-visual introduction to intersect with the crashing chords and the 'bulbous pulsing' rhythm section" (Record Collector Mag).

'Blood Sweat And Tears' raises a punk rock fist of acrimony for the downtrodden at the structural economic forces that simultaneously bulldoze high rents and low wages in the dystopian reality that is the 21st Century, where a living wage is insufficient to live.

This song represents a cry for humanity at the inhumanity of corporate indifference. Protest is never useless. In the video, a dreamlike high street shopping scene forms the visual properties, where people are recast as mere consumers and resource to be exploited.

Hailing from Manchester, The Speed Of Audio'south music is optimistic, but with lyrical bite, a punk-inspired DIY ethos and lust for experimentation rooted in psychedelia. Formed in 1989 with a pre-history dating back to the day Andy Warhol died in 1987, The Speed of Sound lies deep beneath the 'music manufacture radar', assuasive for the evolution of their own distinctive sound and live act.

The Speed of Sound is made upwards of begetter and sonJohn Armstrong (guitars and vocals) andHenry Armstrong (keyboards),Ann-Marie Crowley (vocals and guitar),Kevin Roache (bass guitar) andJohn Broadhurst (drums).

'Museum of Tomorrow' is out now viaBig Stir Records. Released 32 years to the mean solar day when the band's debut EP saw the low-cal of day in 1989, the new LP is available digitally, on CD and express-edition 170g heavy weight vinyl (black and colour).  Find the album onApple tree Music , Spotify,Bandcamp andLarge Stir'south website.
