New Releases

http://bucketfullofnails.com/2014/06/23/first-listen-dressmaker-glass-ep/ wrote:Announcing their arrival via a sonic blitzkrieg, London’s dressmaker forge noise and melody on their debut EP, Glass. At first blush strains of early Joy Division eek through. On further inspection, dressmaker channels a much more sinister muse. From the seething “The Future” to the wall of sound that occupies the macabre “Skeleton Girl,” dressmaker marks a new entry into the post-punk canon with Glass.

7/10 (good)

https://soundcloud.com/transubstans-records/three-seasons-drowning wrote:Swedish acid rockers THREE SEASONS have been absolutely famed by fans and media for their genuine yet original 60s/70s sound, and there's no wonder why – with the muscular riffs, grooving rhythms and really tasty solos, the band has found the perfect approach to the hard-hitting psychedelic, jammy blues rock from the past. And if their earlier work got you going (or perhaps ”brought forth rivers of tears of joy in the eyes of music consumers and loudspeakers”, as one reviewer thought), the band's upcoming full-length album GROW is guaranteed to get you going even more.On GROW we get 8 songs of the highest quality, all of which show a special side of the band's music. To name a few, there is ”Which Way” with a mystical opening that turns into a catchy, folky groove; ”Drowning”, a full-on riffer with high energy and great latino-style percussion; ”No Shame”, where the album gets emotional with some really heartfelt vocals; and in ”Tablas of Bahar” there is the wordless magic of a traveling, many-sided instrumental. Further, an important novelty on this record is that lead guitarist and vocalist Sartez Faraj now also handles the hammond organ with great success – check out the 10-minute epic ”Familiar Song” for sweet psychedelic melodies, great riffings and a most penetrating organ solo.

To summarise: this album is certainly one of the musical higlights of 2014. The band has set their bar very high – previous releases LIFE'S ROAD, ESCAPE and UNDERSTAND THE WORLD have not only received loads of top score-reviews, high spots on the official album charts and "Best album of the year" awards, but also been sold-out and re-pressed – but GROW is sure to beat all expectations.

New York's own Folk-Freakbeat-Garage masters have finally their long awaited full length. Since the days of The Indikation (from Norway) we at Teen Sound records weren't THAT excited about a truly sixties sounding band. With a bunch of singles and a brilliant debut album under their belts these young newyorkers have set the record straight: The Above are the purest sixties sound act around these days. You'll hear influences from The Zombies, The Lovin' Spoonful, The Animals, Them, with a strong U.K. R&B and Freakbeat influence as well as solid rhythm and melody taken from U.S.'greats as The Remains, to give you but a name as well as the best Garage/(early)Psych combos of the day. This fantastic album includes only band's own compositions and mixes thee best neo-sixties vibes around. All about them is vintage and fresh at the same time. Get lost hearing their great songs while you look at the band photo insert. And pray to see them play in your town sometime soon. They're THAT good. Buy this album,you won't regret.

http://heathenharvest.org/2014/04/11/music-rome-a-passage-to-rhodesia-2cd-dvd-book-boxset-order-now/ wrote:“A Passage to Rhodesia” is ROME‘s tenth album, but it’s safe to say it’s one of the most important releases in its long-standing career. The album unites instant dark folk classics such as “A Farewell to Europe” and “One Fire” with ambient collages in the best industrial and experimental traditions -most notably on the exclusive additional album “House of Stone”. Mastermind Jerome Reuter has accomplished a great swirling devil of a record, an epic and tragic masterpiece of considerable scale, rich in theme and philosophic inquiry

http://www.goldenplec.com/revellions-give-time-review/ wrote:Five years since their debut album was released, The Revellions are back. The question is, was it worth the wait? The quick answer: yes. The four piece from Dublin have produced an album that does not disappoint, it infuses all the band’s styles, garage rock, psychedelic rock and there are some bluesy elements to it as well.

Strung Out Bad is a stand out song that includes gang vocals, harmonies and has an incredible rhythm. At times, it even has a Johnny Cash-esque vibe to it. This is a particularly  catchy and enjoyable song that really showcases the band’s talent.

The album has a little bit of everything, there’s different musical influences, different vocals and up-tempo and slower songs. This means that there is a little bit for everyone, but also means that some songs could not be to everyone’s taste. Don’t Wait For Me has a kind of blues/rock ‘n’ roll sound to it. With female vocals and trumpets added to it, it’s something a special. ‘Special’ is a pretty good word to describe the entire release, as there is something very unique about it. For this reason it’s an exciting listen, there’s nothing boring about it.

On the more experimental side of the album there is Somewhere Inbetween, a song that is slightly repetitive and the vocals are slightly odd, as singer James Lister uses a lot of vibrato, a sound which is very unique, but at times is not the most enjoyable to listen to and as such it doesn’t show his vocal abilities to their highest potential.

In a very interesting turn, the band also have a purely instrumental track, The Waltz. This is a particularly nice touch, it sounds like a jamming session between the band and the harmony and fluidity with which they all play with each other is truly impressive. This song shows the musical talent that this band have . All in all the album is a very enjoyable listen and should see the band get more recognition for their talents.

The Flight Reaction is exactly the band we've all wanted to have for quite a long time! Pure 60's garage beat with flashes of punkadelic psych garage and moody jangle as a common thread

http://mreliminator.blogspot.gr/search/label/INSTRUMENTALS wrote: Watang! Is a surf-instro project led by El Sentenza, former banjo player from the Legendary Kid Combo, together with Marla’O, guitar player from the all-female italian garage queens The Cleopatras. This project was born at the beginning of last summer ‘13, with the help of Barba San, from the Italian beat band The Albinos, Cecilia Ann, famous bass based indie-pendent songwriter and Mimmì, one of the best and eclectic jazz drummers of the Garda Lake area. The former idea was to create a standard surf combo, then after a couple of weeks in the basement, the project took a different shape, mixing the musical tastes of all the musicians involved. The original surf sound took a different direction, moving towards the surf revival of the 90’s, the garage beat revival, and the traditional Oriental melodies from the Far East area. All the imaginary and the artwork was inspired by the oriental Z movies, martial arts and fancied mysterious stories from ancient east. The band wear original Kung Fu kimonos and the (dragon) ladies are dressed like famous almond eyed movies star actresses. Main influences are bands like The Bomboras, Ghastly Ones, Satan’s Pilgrims, mixed with The Ventures, Takeshi Terauchi, The Fuzztones, Gravedigger V, Roky Erikson, The Pixies, The Cramps, Link Wray, Johnny Thunders, Dick Dale, Question Mark and the Mysterians... etc!

http://www.folkradio.co.uk/2014/05/tir-na-nog-i-have-known-love-new-ep-song-of-the-day/ wrote:ome of you may recall that Leo O’Kelly and Sonny Condell, better known as the Irish folk music duo Tír na nÓg, began touring in England again last year. They were formed in 1969 and their progressive folk music was deeply influenced by their own Celtic roots. They released three studio albums between 1971 and 1973 and broke up in ’74 reforming later in 1985. Three live albums followed: Hibernian (2000), Spotlight (2001) and Live at Sirius (2010).
Well the good news is that they are to release a new 7″ EP I Have Known Love on the vinyl-only specialist record label Fruits de mer Records (June 2014)

https://www.facebook.com/CyannaMercury/info wrote:Cyanna Mercury is a psych rock band from Athens, Greece, formed in 2014 by veterans of the local scene, as a vehicle to pursue the search for the perfect blend of Western psychedelic rock and blues roots with the Eastern traditional elements of the band's birthplace. The quintet introduced itself live for the first time in Ajaccio, Corsica, performing for the Mezzo Voce TV show, a one hour set of originals.
