Review from Wire Magazine (March 2007):
"At the wheel of this rumbling killdozer of a disc is hunched the bare chested and tattooed figure of Fuckhead mainman Didi Bruckmayr, who, together with various heavy friends, crashes on to the dancefloor with some severely warped pop, rock and disco . He gleefully hacks into these genres with serrated wit and wisdom. Coming across like Giorgio Moroder meets Leonard Cohen performing the Soft Cell songbook, Bruckmayr’s brilliantly performed electro pop and Motorhead strength hard rock connect perfectly for the ultimate death disco showdown."

Review from Wire Magazine (March 2007):
"Panther is the mutant strain of Charlie Salas-Humara, a one-man music machine whose broken disco riffs lock into a secret pulsebeat weapon that roughly pushes Prince (in the form of a giant robot) and Edan up against the wall and pulls the trigger. Secret Lawns is a mad mixture of unpredictable beats, hooks and catchy beatbox routines that lead the listener through black alleys and gaming arcades, discovering new musical thrills at every turn. At one point we are left alone with only a brushed cymbal sample for company while the rest of Panther’s song takes a well deserved break. Isolated from the busy clutter, this simple device sounds devastating."

Review from Wire Magazine (May 2007):
"The best of the first, superior wave of postrock, Seefeel obliterated the beginnings and endpoints of the guitar. Their shuddering mosaics of weightless, flickering loops and quietly insinuating rhythms traversed the chasms separating rock, Ambient and electronic music long before Radiohead climbed out of their bunk beds. 1993’s Quique was Seefeel’s debut album and it still sounds staggering, processing the guitar via dub tactics until it becomes a transient, ever-shifting instrument without organs. The group were often acclaimed as the next step after My Bloody Valentine’s evacuated song skeletons; it’s worth noting that Seefeel were saddled with that tagline while people were still hopeful that Kevin Shields might actually make another record. This ‘redux edition’ features an extra disc which mostly contains abstractions of album tracks, different versions of “Charlotte’s Mouth”, “Filter Dub” and “Climactic Phase #3”; it’s all completely essential."

Review from Wire Magazine (June 2009):
"San Francisco’s Tussle drag the denim clad wallflower of Krautrock into the centre of the dancefloor to create a sort of handmade psychedelic Techno. With producer Thom Monahan and contributions from Hot Chip’s Alexis Taylor, Cream Cuts is the funkiest slab of strangely loose-limbed motorik you’re likely to hear this year, or indeed any year."

Review from Wire Magazine (June 2007):
"Brooklyn based six-piece Artanker Convoy roll out an eclectic groove stew, equal parts funk and freakout. There are definite tinges of Miles Davis’s early 70s groups. “Ejector” could be straight off Big Fun with its mid-tempo laidback shimmer and shimmy. “Black Dauphin” soups itself up into a ghetto Prince strut, jutting its chin into the sun-baked fuel-thick city air. Likewise, “Geyser” is a slippery piece of funk with some warm, smoky guitar playing. The standout is “Open Up” a slow burn number with a percussion rustling intro, the guitar player rolling on the volume faders before the beat kicks in, his instrument now digging deep into the reverb on the bottom strings and surfing the echo on the high notes."

Review from Wire Magazine (March 2008):
"This trio from Philadelphia appear to enjoy fomenting a degree of dumb notoriety unconnected with what they actually sound like: citing GG Allin and notorious white supremacists Skrewdriver as influences, and sneeringly calling their debut album Nevermind. In fact they’re a pretty tight combo with elements culled from, variously, The Jesus Lizard, The Birthday Party and The Cramps to be heard on this, their second album. Kicking off with the reverberating guitar twang of “New In Town” and thereafter mixing up trebly guitar riffs with grinding basslines, the group leave plenty of space between their top and low end for dynamic rhythmic lunges and for throwing muscular, blue-stomping (mis)shapes. When they adhere too closely to a predefined template, as on the Birthday Party-style sway of “When My Ship Comes In”, they sound merely derivative, but mostly they jab and feint with a suppleness and agility which belies their contrived crudeness."

DL: MP3-VBR(V2)-LAME3.96

Review from Wire Magazine (November 2006):
"Chicago sextet Coughs don’t so much stay on the one as stomp on it mercilessly, with seismic force. Their sound is utterly percussive, not just from the double-drum line-up, but also in the way that all the instruments land on the beat at once with a crunching brutality. The dynamic is rigid, with fuzz bass, trebly guitar, sax and bellowed vocals all fighting for the same corner. This stiffness combines with a fixedly monodimensional quality to create a powerfully undiluted sound. What prevents Secret Passage from drifting into tedium, however, is the group’s awareness of their own cartoon extremity, with Anya Davidson’s hoarse exhortations stuck in an over-revved exaggeration of angst – perfectly captured on the squealing “Life Of Acne”."

Review from Wire Magazine (August 2006):
"Brooklyn guitarist Kip Uhlhorn and German multi-instrumentalist Simon Wojan first met in 2002 when Uhlhorn was touring Europe with his group Panthers. Requiems Der Natur 20022004 combines the guitarist’s rock stance with Wojan’s more electronically inclined leanings. Other hands were invited to leave their mark on the project and the tapes were further treated by the duo before being finally let loose. The pleasing result is a sometimes stunning neo-psychedelic experience where the musical spirits of This Heat, Ash Ra Tempel and The Mahavishnu Orchestra are evoked, celebrated and absorbed inside Uhlhorn and Wojan’s shifting cloud formations of sound."

DL: MP3-VBR(V2)-LAME3.96

Review from Wire Magazine (June 2007):
"Andreas Soderstrom’s debut album as Ass is built out of lush Fahey-style acoustic guitar picking and his warm, velvety trumpet, and comprises both songs and instrumentals. “Two Different Ways” seeps into your heart on a fanfare of brass, glowing with afternoon light over forest-rimmed Swedish lakes. The same bittersweet sorrow infuses vocal tracks like “Don’t Tell A Word”. The two closing instrumentals “Chinese Dream” and “Feud In, Feud Out” are the highlights, where the insistent fingertip strumming and string scratching resemble Klaus Dinger’s trademark motorik drum tick. On “Chinese Dream”, it is further filled out with glockenspiel and organ chimes, while “Feud In, Feud Out” has a monophonic synth melody daubed with a child’s crayon."

Review from Wire Magazine (December 2006)
"Ex-Crystalized Movements guitarist Eric Arn formed Primordial Undermind in 1988 as a continuation of his enthusiasm for acid rock. On Loss Of Affect, he steers PU through a tangled Ambient swampland into musical territory that sounds like an alternative soundtrack to Apocalypse Now. Reverberating with primitive hallucinogenic drones, garage rock grinds and improvisations that slowly build from half-formed blowouts to cosmic Stockhausen-style epics, PU have crawled out of the psychedelic undergrowth and evolved into something special."

Review from Wire Magazine (August 2007):
"Both the name of this Atlanta, Georgia based trio and their album title are references to a short story from American horror writer HP Lovecraft. Celephais was a fictional city created in a dream by a hobo called Kuranes who, when he dies, became the chief god of his imaginary realm. Celephais initially come across like an enjoyable Metal thrashabout, before mutating into something darker, stranger and more involved. The driving force of their sound is retained throughout, but underneath lies a catacomb of intricately tunnelled improvisation, feral looping and muted growling made even creepier by a spectral organ."
