Music behind DJ: Arrington de Dionyso |
The Exorcism
|
Lungs |
Self-Released |
2020 |
On Arrington's birthday 2 days ago, he released a special limited (50 copy) cassette edition of "Lungs", one of his 'Quarantine Sessions', originally released Apr 3, 2020. He also made his entire catalogue (temporarily) free of charge, but suggested donations for a cause: "100% of revenue from downloads... To The Timouns Rezistans Artist Collective " in Haiti. "In addition to the threat of poverty, violence, kidnappings and more, the festival we had been planning for this month also had to be cancelled and it's a huge bummer. Many of the artists I work with in Haiti are catching the new wave of Covi d-19 and that is also really really bad news." Visit his page for all pay-what-you-wish (while it lasts) downloads + contribute to the cause if you can... This particular release is here: Arrington de Dionyso: Lungs |

| Enola Gay |
Scrappers
|
Gransha EP | enolagay2016 | 2021 | We are a Belfast-based Irish noise-punk 4-piece formed in late 2019. Offering venomous hip-hop-inspired vocals that are as uncompromising as the guitars are unforgiving, layered on a rhythm section that draws as much from left-field electronica and techno as it does from post-punk heroes of the late 70s | 0:18:47 (Pop-up) | |
| Soccer96 & Nuha Ruby Ra |
Dopamine
|
Dopamine | Moshi Records | 2021 | Soccer96 are a duo from London, England, featuring Danalogue on synths and Betamax on drums. They play everything completely live, with no laptops, sequencers or software of any kind. They create brutal, frenetic energy, tron-like soundscapes and super-fresh polyrhythms.

Tangerine Dreams
|
Tangerine Dreams (Single) |
Friendly Recordings |
2021 |
Claude Cooper's first and perhaps only single is a fitting debut release for Friendly Records’ emergence as a label. 'Tangerine Dreams' is the sort of music one would expect to unearth in the hallowed backroom murk of a record shop where layer upon layer of wax plates periodically shift and reveal lost and long overlooked dusty relics just waiting to be freed into the slipstream of the shop floor. |

We are combining new recordings of old songs, old recordings of old songs and new recordings of new songs on it, and it’s kind of a demonstration of all the different identities we feel that Pom Poko can have; hammering fuzz-rock grooves, soft and yearning melodies and deconstructed noisy explorations."

Come Together
|
Come Together single | Electric Outlet | 2021 | Babs is obsessed. Remember Spodee Boy from Nashville? Okay cool. SO the dude that sang in that band (his name is Connor) is in Snooper but he doesn't sing, his partner does. Her name is Blair. Imagine all the angular Devo worship done in the past few years (discounting Ceremony's most recent "record") and imagine all that as a sauce that gets reduced to the most flavorful incantation of. Each song "slaps", is a "bop", and makes you want to hop around with the same frivolity commanded by the Ramones. | 1:04:33 (Pop-up) | |
| Opus Kink |
This Train
|
This Train Single | Nice Swan Records | 2021 | I think I like this song because it kinda reminds me of something Joe Strummer would do. ‘Putting the sex in sextet’ Jazz-punk-filth-funk-whateveryoulike Can’t even play jazz / will make your father dance the tarantella | 1:06:33 (Pop-up) | |

I Know I'm Not Easy To Like
|
Welcome Break | Heavenly | 2021 | Pip Blom is a band from the Netherlands. In one instance where Pitchfork is not wrong, they describe Pip Blom thusly: "The Dutch quartet undercut their perky, grunge-lite melodies with just the right amount of pop-fuzz aggression." | 1:51:11 (Pop-up) | |
| EERA |
Ladder
|
Speak | Just Dust Recordings | 2021 | EERA is the project of the Berlin-based Norwegian singer, songwriter and guitarist Anna Lena Bruland. Centered around themes of searching for balance in life, Speak is more aligned to Broadcast, My Bloody Valentine and Lush, adding synthesizers to create a euphoric and dynamic setting for Anna Lena’s vibrant vocals. There may be elements of shoegaze here but she is not looking down at her shoes, but directly into the eyes of the listener; all the better to communicate what she is saying. | 1:54:42 (Pop-up) | |

Happiness Single | Papercup Records | 2021 | I like this. Horns, flutey sample plus triphop beat and what sounds like the essence of Joni Mitchell trapped in a mason jar. It's sweet and short and nice. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. | 2:00:27 (Pop-up) |
