HOODED FANG Gravez (Daps Records) Release Date: May 28, 2013 / Rock-Pop CD: 23339-1610-2 / Price: $11.00 UPC: 623339161022 Hooded Fang’s new album Gravez features 10song set that builds off the "spontaneous, lively, heavily splintered guitar sound" present on their 2011 effort Tosta M ista , though the new album apparently branches out with touches of '60s tropicália ("Wasteland"), psychedelia, the blues and more. "It's not called Gravez for any real reason but may refer to the impending lurk of death," singer/producer Dan Lee said in a statement. "Some of it is about instances in life, some of it general imagery, or nonsense." The LP was recorded at a friend's studio and features demos tweaked in Lee's bedroom, and is also the first record to feature the current lineup of Lee, bassist April Aliermo, guitarist Lane Halley and drummer D.Alex Meeks. Hooded Fang start a North American tour in London, ON, on May 29, with more Canadian stops scheduled in Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta and BC.

The man, the myth, the rock singer and part-time kitchen porter with a love of sunny 1960s pop music, punk rock and musical comedy. He never cared much for any kind of musical rule book and broke new ground with music that garnered a cult following and a highly-influential sound that continues to inspire. These 4 albums span the next chapter in the unveiling of the entire discography from the band (1981-1985). One album included here contains 12 unreleased songs, making it the first “new release from the band in over 25 years, dubbed “A Dawn Chorus: Early Cleaners and Beyond.’ Cleaners from Venus Captured Tracks Cleaners from Venus V2 2 4xCD This is a beautiful, 4xCD foldout wallet with booklet including album bios written by Newell himself and never-beforereleased photos.

Persistent and solemnly, in spite of it all, but without despondency, he keeps in eager pursuit of his song and his truth. Even more so than his debut, this is a record with teeth. It holds on desperately in spite of it all, relentless in both angst and tenderness and has brought his gothic folk stylings to a further realization.

In particular, there’s an attention to the legacy of later-period T. Rex, which results in tunes that kick total ass Release Date: May 14, 2013 CD: 90377-0334-2 File Under: Rock LP: THRILL334 CD Price: $11.50 LP Price: $15.50 Peals CD UPC: 790377033427 LP UPC: 790377033410 Thrill Jockey Walking Field Peals is a new band led by William Cashion (Future Islands) and Bruce Willen (Double Dagger), members of two of Baltimore’s most dynamic live bands. The instrumental music on Walking Field was created with acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards, tambourines, toy pianos, and other sonic tools to create a strippeddown, warm living-room atmosphere.

Hunter Hunt-Hendrix, Greg Smith, and Jeff Bobula have been playing together for over a decade and recorded this album as Survival with Colin Marston (Krallice, Dysrhythmia) at The Thousand Caves. Syncopated riffs, intricate rhythms and atypical time signatures create dramatic and complex melodic lines that provide a bed for chant-like lyrics.

From opener ‘Black Mould’ (perhaps the first motorik-influenced song about respiratory problems induced by inadequate building standards in New Zealand) to the 18 minute closing behemoth ‘Friendly Society’ (almost certainly the only psychedelic epic named after the Quaker movement and which features Neil Finn and Bella Union signed Lawrence Arabia on backing vocals), Fandango is un-coy about its lofty ambitions in an age of digital disposability.

Keeping you on the edge of your seat by never staying in the same place, or at the same pace, for long enough for you to get too comfortable, On Emery Street is a electric blast of creativity that demands your absolute attention from the first moment to the last.

Tout va bien Dans ce deuxième album, Lili Cros et Thierry Chazelle mettent leurs talents en commun pour l’élaboration de douze titres, témoins de l’alchimie qui les unit. S’ils composent ensemble les musiques, chacun interprète ses propres textes et c’est là l’originalité de ce duo : il nous emmène dans un univers où s’expriment deux personnalités différentes et complémentaires. À la fois légers, acides, sensuels et drôles, à l’image du regard qu’ils portent sur la vie, leurs chansons sont le reflet d’une belle complicité qui grandit avec le temps. En spectacle du 13 au 16 juin 2013 au Festival de la Chanson de Tadoussac Release Date: May 28, 2013 CD: 21383-4233-1 File Under: Chanson française CD Price: $13.75 MeLL CD UPC: 3521383423318 S.P.A.C.E. Relation Cheap « Jeune héritière du punk passée entre les mailles de la chanson néoréaliste. » MeLL bouge, ne s’attache pas, ne se repose pas. Elle se renouvelle, se réinvente et se met en danger pour le bien des oreilles d’un public forcément accroc. Alors elle repart pour un nouvel opus « Relation Cheap » avec une nouvelle équipe qui lui permet d’expérimenter l’introspection. Car c’est en solo avec sa plume et sa guitare électrique qu’elle va cette fois explorer l’amour, l’intimité, les love songs et les slows, le tout branché sur du 220 Volts. L’ombre des sixties plane dans la voix. Les boîtes à rythmes un peu débiles sonnent eighties. L’écriture est désinvolte et la légèreté est dans l’auto dérision et la prise de hauteur. Elle nous emmène dans les méandres d’histoires bas de gamme - celles où l’on se ment, où l’on se rate, où rien ne se passe comme on veut. Elle se moque des relations légères, vécues comme le reste de notre époque, rapidement et sans état d’âme, de la surconsommation d’amour, et de tout ce qu’on jette : les relation(s) cheap. 14, 15, 16/06 – Festival de Tadoussac (Canada) Release Date: May 28, 2013 CD: 21383-4235-0 File Under: Chanson française CD Price: $13.75 CD UPC: 3521383423509 Abou Diarra S.P.A.C.E. Sabou Sa musique parle du voyage, de l’exil, du mouvement, de la vie… Fasciné par le blues, le jazz, le reggae, le groove… Les rythmes et styles où se mélangent pays, sonorités, influences… Abou ajoute des cordes à son instrument et explore hors des gammes classiques, utilisant son n’goni comme une guitare, une basse, une harpe ou une percussion… dans des balades silencieuses et nostalgiques ou des rythmes endiablés de bals poussières. Le N’Goni : L’instrument emblématique de la confrérie des chasseurs Le N’Goni est l’un des trésors d’Afrique, plus particulièrement dans la région de Wassoulo au Mali. Instrument de musique incontournable de la culture des Griots et du monde des chasseurs, il existe depuis la nuit des temps (environ 12e siècle). Connu initialement sous le nom de Dozo N’Goni (le n’Goni des chasseurs), il était l’emblème des chasseurs et de leur confrérie, l’instrument d’accompagnement des récits de chasse, des jeux musicaux entre chasseurs, des louanges, mais également de la médecine traditionnelle et de la communion avec les esprits. Dans les années 50, Alata Bourleil et Yoro Diallo, alors jeunes musiciens se réapproprient le N’Goni, désirant le mettre en valeur hors du cadre traditionnel et populaire en introduisirent le nom Kamele’n’Goni (le n’goni des jeunes).

Cette formation me manquait d’autant plus qu’il me tardait d’incorporer dans de nouvelles compositions les enseignements tirés des mes aventures sonores : comment élargir le vocabulaire traditionnel du trio, avec ses prises de risque, sa fragilité intrinsèque, son langage ancré dans une tradition qui ne cesse d’évoluer ?

Cet enregistrement, fruit de trois concerts en décembre 2012 est d’une énergie brute et d’une richesse sonore hors du commun pour un trio acoustique. Riches de leur expérience acquise lors de tournées aux quatre coins du monde, les trois musiciens nous ont accordé une performance exceptionnelle qui aurait été impossible de recréer en studio. Genticorum nous offre en prime sept tous nouveaux morceaux, en plus de revisiter quatre classiques de son répertoire à travers de nouveaux arrangements.

On this album Vår utilize everything from acoustic guitar, power electronics, bass, trumpet, multi-tracked vocals, and various percussive instruments, to broken glass & sheet metal samples. No One Dances Quite Like My Brothers is a remarkable debut, an emotional rollercoaster of sorts which at times is profoundly uplifting, at times decidedly morose but remains unfailingly moving throughout.

But the Nightmare Ending story actually began years earlier, as it was intended to be the follow-up to the watershed album, Copia. He shelved it, and pursued Similes instead. But Nightmare Ending wouldn’t go away; it lingered in the back of his mind, the abandoned fruits of a truly worthwhile and noble journey towards a less creatively constraining mindset. Cooper returned to it with renewed vigor, writing and recording in a blur of time that spanned several years, ending with a pair of inspired collaborations with Mark T. Smith of Explosions In The Sky and Ira Kaplan of Yo La Tengo. The result is a body of work that encompasses everything remarkable about past Eluvium albums, executed more powerfully and poignant than ever before.

Long time top ten favorite with almost every head we know, a true classic recommended for everyone into amazing rock records of all varieties.

All Tiny Creatures’ founder Thomas Wincek was at work on the new album. He’d just found a Rockman, a guitar DI Box with multiple effects built in, it’s what Def Leppard used all over Hysteria. I had no idea. For those vast radio jams of my youth, my brain had been the effects processor. All Tiny Creatures’ second album is an ode to the intertwined bodies of music and technology. A familiar, primordial ease is wrapped up in pulsing electricity. In ten songs, the Wisconsin-based four-piece reminds us that our blood-filled frames are responsible for making the tangle of wires around us. We’re still inventing fire.

Tape loops of prepared piano – composed and recorded more than 30 years ago – reflecting, refracting, and disintegrating into a haunting sentimental haze, like losing a vivid memory to the natural deterioration of time. Nocturnes is two sprawling new works, begun in 1979 and completed in 2012. It is Basinski’s first new studio release in nearly four years.

The band is equal parts atmosphere, distance & reflection as much as a volcanic, act-now overflow. Gerald Cleaver, a deeply responsive avantjazz drummer who doubles as a handsomely evocative composer, marshals a crew of master improvisers—saxist Darius Jones, guitarist Brandon Seabrook, multi-instrumentalist Cooper-Moore and bassist Pascal Niggenkemper—in his latest bandleading venture.

Made up of principal members Nate Grace, Jesse Jenkins and Austin Youngblood, they stay true to the dense sound they explored on their last album, Pleasure, but add twinkling atmospherics and a new clarity to their carefully cultivated, emotionally heavy songs. Crawling isn’t a record about escape, it’s about what you do after you’ve realized that escaping isn’t an option and you just have to face the world you live in head on.

What sets him apart from the many devotees to this style is the combination of expressive playing and technical skill, most significantly his inventive use of alternate tunings and partial capos. The songs on Glenn’s latest, My Garden State, are evocative and redolent, and serve as a testament to Glenn’s talent for conveying a wide array of emotions, many times in one song, without saying a word.

I never expected anyone to hear it, let alone connect with it. I never would have left Vermont, never met the boys at Burger Records or any of the other insane, beautiful, cartoonish characters that now populate my life in the best way. It’s an expression of my infinitely teenage heart and soul, and I’m really proud of it. So here it is again, thanks to Burger Records. These songs belong to the Strutters and the Stutterers, the Headbangers and the Stoop Hangers, the Ruthies and the Gold Toothies, and of course, the A-N-I-M-A-L-S...” -- King Tuf Release Date: May 28, 2013 LP: BRGR016LP File Under: Rock-Pop LP Price: $15.50 LP UPC: 634457596610 Outside Music welcomes Burger Records!

The A side of this 12” - a sub-heavy 2013 jungle ‘cover’ of a certain very famous Frankie Knuckles production - which is a concept that’s just too perfect for the NSWL series. And it’s built solid and razor sharp. On the flip is a bonus cut, another ‘cover’ of the same track, but this time the breaks, rolling sub and conceptual rave domination are stripped away, creating a skeletal dub version.
