2013 #9: June/July Daughn Gibson Me Moan Available July 9, 2013 Botzy Fake Four Buck Fotzy “With Buck Fotzy, I had no expectations. I completely took everything I had learned, patterns, the motions of how I created things, and scratched it all,” says Botzy of his process for his upcoming solo venture. He’s accumulated a lot of knowledge about the craft of rap in his years, evidenced by his work with live band Culture Cry Wolf and his previous solo efforts Deaf to the Static and My Friends and I, but his approach on Buck Fotzy is a different beast.

Kevin Lynn (King Cobb Steelie / Minotaurs) and Patti Schmidt (Nanobot Auxiliary Ballet) play electrified bass. Patti also sings, as does KP Kendall (Girl Trouble), and Alanna Stuart (Bonjay). Tony Malone (Drastic Measures) plays some keyboards and DP lashes out with synthesizers, drums and other appurtenances. The CD is encased in a mini-LP style jacket with gatefold and paper inner sleeve. Cover art features cfaal 113 by Jessica Eaton, from her photo series Cubes for Albers and LeWitt.

Roussel Trio Groupe Musik Transit Emie R Roussel Trio performs with passion, creativity and sensitivity. They deliver modern but accessible jazz, skillfully blending European and North American influences. Their first release, Temps Inégal, rose to third place in the top 5 jazz albums of the 2012 named by Sorties Jazz Nights. The second album for the Emie R Roussel Trio, Transit, includes Nicolas Bédard on bass, Dominique Cloutier on drums, along with Quatuor St-Germain and percussionist Julie Quimper. Transit merges the sounds and aesthetics of a string quartet with those of a jazz trio. Combined, their music provide as much power and intensity as they do intimacy. Percussion elements usually associated with orchestra music, such as timpani drums and tubular bells, are added to the mix. The challenge was to blend the colours of the trio and the string quartet to create a seamless whole. In this spirit of symbiosis, the strings have a more melodic and rhythmical dimension, rather than simply a backup role. So, here, along our path, is a stopover, a transit. Animé par le désir de créer un jazz original et novateur, le Emie R Roussel Trio charme le public partout où il passe. Les compositions de la pianiste Emie R Roussel sont rendues avec fougue, créativité et sensibilité par ce trio jazz québécois en pleine ascension. Parfois introspectif, romantique ou impressionniste, parfois moderne, énergique et entraînant, les trois musiciens possèdent une chimie indiscutable et vous entraîneront à coup sûr dans leur univers musical. Le trio livre un jazz actuel mais accessible, fusionnant habilement les influences du jazz européen et nord-américain. Le trio est actif depuis plus de trois ans et multiplie les apparitions sur la scène québécoise. Il s’est entre autres produit au Upstairs Jazz Bar & Grill, à l’Espace 64, au Dièse Onze et au Festi-Jazz International de Rimouski. Le trio a également été finaliste pour le Grand Prix de Jazz TD et le Prix Étoile Galaxie au Festival International de Jazz de Montréal en 2012. Le premier opus du trio, Temps Inégal, sorti en septembre 2010 s’est hissé en troisième place dans le top 5 des albums jazz de l’année par Sorties Jazz Nights. Transit, le deuxième album du Emie R Roussel trio, regroupe Nicolas Bédard à la contrebasse, Dominique Cloutier à la batterie ainsi que le Quatuor St-Germain et la percussionniste Julie Quimper. L’album Transit fusionne la sonorité et l’esthétique du quatuor à cordes à celle du trio jazz actuel. Ces deux formations permettent autant de puissance et d’intensité que d’intimité. S’ajoutent à cela les percussions telles que les timbales et les cloches tubulaires, éléments plus fréquemment associés à l’orchestre. Le défi a été d’amalgamer le plus possible les couleurs du trio et celles du quatuor à cordes afin d’en créer un tout indissociable. C’est donc dans cet esprit de symbiose que les cordes ont ici une dimension plus mélodique et rythmique plutôt qu’un rôle d’accompagnement. Voici donc sur notre chemin, une escale, un transit.

Levy has since been replaced by new bassist Steve Oliva, and the three newest songs on Singles offer sightlines to the new lineup’s bright future.

Fox took his expertise in filling the dance floor and applied it to his passion for synths and industrial dance music to create a fresh take on the genre to form iVardensphere. The resulting debut album, Scatterface, is industrial music targeted directly at the dance floor. Metropolis Records is re-releasing the album as Scatterface V3, featuring 13 tracks of mayhem and stomp that span the genres of EBM, Tribal and rhythmic noise. This new version features two bonus remixes of “Bonedance”, from ∆AIMON and Blush Response. Release Date: Jun. 25, 2013 CD: 82388-0864-2 File Under: Alt. Rock/Goth CD Price: $11.00 CD UPC: 782388086424 The Legendary Pink Dots Metropolis The Gethsemane Option The Legendary Pink Dots is an Anglo-Dutch experimental rock band formed in London in August 1980. Although far outside the mainstream (in terms of their music and career path), LPD have released more than 40 albums, have a devoted worldwide following, and tour frequently. The core members of the group, Edward Ka-Spel (vocals, keyboards, songwriter) and Phil Knight (a.k.a. The Silverman) (keyboards, electronics), are joined by Erik Drost (guitars) and Raymond Steeg (live sound engineer). The band’s debut for Metropolis Records, entitled The Gethsemane Option, is a seven song, hour long exploration in textural ambience and rock experimentalism. Featuring Ka-Spel’s distinctive vocals and lyrical imagery blended with hypnotic guitar and synth washes and spellbinding bass pulses, The Gethsamane Option is a musical laudanum induced fever dream. An enthralling, captivating release. Release Date: Jun. 25, 2013 CD: 82388-0872-2 File Under: Experimental/Rock Pop CD Price: $11.00 Funker Vogt CD UPC: 782388087223 Metropolis Companion in Crime Aggro-industrial legends Funker Vogt return with Companion In Crime, an all-new album for 2013. While staying true to the signature sounds of Funker Vogt, the new album finds the band exploring the more melodic side of things. Jens Kastel’s distorted vocals touch upon subjects from war and violence to religion. The political stance of Funker Vogt is decidedly anti-war; the band cites war and social injustice as primary topics, noting that the goal was to “present the grotesque cruelties and the tragedy of war.” Companion In Crime continues the strong tradition of classic Funker Vogt albums.

Mastermind Bill Leeb, along with Jeremy Inkel, Jared Slingerland, Craig Johnsen, and Sasha Keevill have created a concussive, driving opus. Completely guitar free, the new album relies entirely on electronics. The opening chords of the seething “Resonance” sets the tone of the album, and segues perfectly into the complex percussion of “Leveled” and the anthemic dance track “Killing Grounds”. Tracks such as “Ghosts” and the title track show the band willing to push past the boundaries between modern electronica and electro-industrial. Overall, Echogenetic shows Front Line Assembly is in top form, and continues to be a leading force in the electronic music scene.

Louise Burns Light Organ The Midnight Mass Burns was never likely to stop exploring her private musical landscape—something she does here with the aid of producers Colin Stewart and the Raveonettes’ Sune Rose Wagner. Sonically, The Midnight Mass is like Mellow Drama after it was shoved through the fifth dimension in a TARDIS. First single “Emerald Shatter” is draped in the heaviest of synths; electric clouds of buzz devour roiling post-punk drums in “The Artist”; “Mother of Earth” literally sounds like charged fog. With players James Younger, Darcy Hancock (Ladyhawk), Gregg Foreman (Cat Power), and drummer Brennan Saul (Brasstronaut) on board, meanwhile, a track like ``He`s My Woman`` becomes Rowland S. Howard doing Ennio Morricone in a Romanian field (complete with Jesse Zubot’s dancing fiddle). But in all cases, the instincts that have carried Burns through an almost 20 year career are never abandoned. The Midnight Mass comes in Midnight Blue vinyl.

And seeing them fly the nest, these road trip songs for the future, he waved them off with a copasetic smile, content that they would sway the shoulders of the common man, moving him through the ritual of his Saturday nights and his Sunday mornings. James Younger’s debut album has already been making some impressive fans around the world. With the recent success of the lead single “Monday Morning” the album, titled Feelin’ American, promises to be eleven songs that match its energetic swing and earnest lyrics.
