Geometry Combat delivers a dangerous steel-crafted artillery embroidered with a metal of blackened drum beats, provoking the utter destruction of religious madness, shadowing over the corpse of a diluted heaven…
Nico Nightingale, aka Neud Photo, is no stranger to collaborations. The New Yorker’s latest sees him teaming up with Cristiano F. Grimaldi to form INTRZN, a partnership meshing a free style approach to melodies with cold rhythms. Their “Zone” quartet is a twilight of fluctuating moods. Percussion is bare, allowing bright bars to shine and darker moments to fester. Music which in one breath is elated and uplifting and, the next, dejected and downtrodden. With Situational Awareness, post-punk legends Crash Course In Science deliver a ten track album consisting entirely of brand new material. The songs on Situational Awareness sound crisp and ultra-fresh, while the band from Philadelphia, USA, maintains their distinctive DIY sound created by toys, kitchen appliances and self-built synths. Far beyond new wave, the music is experimental and danceable at the same time – science and art, together hand in hand. Karger Traum is Blake Lusk and Taylor McKenzie from Oklahoma City. The project began when Blake invited Taylor to improvise vocals over his solo project, Holy Siege. Taylor’s style of improvising lyrics in German fit well with Blake’s minimal, throbbing productions and the pair decided to forge ahead as Karger Traum. Despite wearing the obvious Einstürzende Neubauten, Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft, and Suicide influences proudly on their sleeve they have managed to create a sound that has as much forward momentum as it does reverence for the past. After releasing “Alles Auf Einmal” on Blake’s label, Tape Gun Records, they recorded “Such A Dream” for DKA. Zoltan Freitag is a one-man-project begun in the early nineties but came to a final synthesis only in the last year and a half. Exploring melodic lines and analogue or analogue-like paths trying to create a bridge between past (the 80ies) and present. |
