Perfect Angels :: Exit From the Ultra-World

UncategorizedPosted on

The latest from DIY lifer Zach Philips is a dizzying and resplendent work of lysergic cool-jazz, deconstructed art-pop, and library exotica. Billed as Exit From the Ultra-World by Perfect Angels, the record was pieced together on tape in Brussels with transmitted vocals from French singer Olia Eichenbaum, and additional contributions from psych-pop pioneer Chris Cohen, jazz saxophonist Shoko Igrashi, and a cast of like-minded multi-instrumentalists from around the globe . . .

Natural Information Society & Evan Parker :: descension (Out of Our Constrictions) / Mind Maintenance

Natural Information SocietyPosted on

Fans of Joshua Abrams & Natural Information Society’s methodical, meditative 2019 LP mandatory reality might have been a little surprised by the live shows that followed in its wake. This wasn’t a band interested in lulling its audience to sleep. Instead, Abrams and NIS gave audiences a harder-edged, sometimes downright aggressive version of their hypno-jazz . . .

After a decade of honing their sound, Iceage returns with their fifth LP, Seek Shelter -- out May 7th on Mexican Summer.

Strike Another Match :: Dylan Translated

Bob DylanPosted on

Bob Dylan turns 80 years young this month ... so let's get the celebration started with something a little on the bizarre side. This mix gathers a selection of vintage Dylan covers with lyrics translated into Greek, Italian, French, Dutch, Spanish and more. Ranging from the mid-1960s to late 1970s, it's a sweet (if occasionally disorienting) listen, as these singers attempt to force Bob into new linguistic zones . . .
