30,000 Monkies - Womb Eater Wife Beater


2011; 5 tracks


So fucking incredible. This is like seriously the most amazing thing you will ever hear in your lifetime.

30,000 Monkies is a Belgian four-piece noise rock/stoner metal band, and this was their debut EP. They have some Electric Wizard and some Earth in their sound but mostly this is like the next level of amazing stoner/noise rock.

Naked on the Vague - Sad Sun





2007; 5 tracks


This cover you see here is what happens when you try to extract more information from less information, for better or for worse.

Naked on the Vague is a mysterious Australian two-piece band who make mostly minimalist noisy new wave music with the occasional art rock elements. The singer is also a girl with a really low voice, so I'd say this is very similar to HTRK.

Sad Sun was one of Naked on the Vague's first releases, and in the past 4 years they have released a number of other EPs and full-lengths (two EPs came out last year). Theirs is a ritualistic and depressive yet sexy and rhythmic noise, and for those reasons I was hooked.

Snapper - Snapper EP


1988; 4 tracks


I posted this on my facebook page (yeah.) but I believe that it bears repeating, and it's as obscvre as fvck so why not.

This is the first release by New Zealand-based kiwi pop band (Flying Nun!!) Snapper. My friend so nicely described it as "desertkrautgaze." After this Snapper went on to release two full-lengths and a couple more EPs then descended back into their cave, because they are snappers and those are fish and fish like the darkness, like me, i like darkness and i only like music that is sad as balls

but this isn't sad

Deleted Scenes - Young People's Church of the Air


2011; 11 tracks


Really lovely and uplifting noisy/indie pop rock. I really didn't know how I would feel about this but I can safely say it is a safely fun and inventive album. So be safe.

Deleted Scenes is a pop rock (I dislike this term, but it fits + (some noise)) duo from Maryland founded in 1998. From what I can tell, this is their second full-length, the first being released about 3 years ago.

My favorite tracks were "Bedbedbedbedbed," "Nassau," and "The Demon & the Hurricane." These are all god-tier tracks.

Young People's Church of the Air is totally Animal Collective-worship. Or any band that sounds like that. Just a precaution, or a friendly reminder, if you will. They would do better constructing warm, sad, rainy lo-fi songs out of the poppiness of their more AC-sounding songs. Actually I don't know anything forget it.

Teenage Jesus and the Jerks - Pink





1979; 7 tracks


I'm having a lot of trouble believing this came out in 1979. Nothing comes even close to the sheer corrosiveness of their sound. I am really in love, and I don't care how many times I say that.

Teenage Jesus and the Jerks was a post-punk/new wave/experimental noise band from New York active during the last few years of the 70s, founded by James Chance and Lydia Lunch.

Pink, or the band's self-titled EP, combines material from two of their preceding EPs: Orphans (1978), and Baby Doll (1979) with two tracks from a live recording of the band in the fall of 1977 (now to be found on the release Live At Max's Kansas City 1977).

It's all very, very short. Their entire discography is a little over 18 minutes. I like it that way, however. Succinct brutality is the sweetest.

gnaw my ankles and gnaw my bones
Today is the penultimate day of February.

I haven't posted that much lately because I am beginning to wonder if what I am doing is such a good thing.

I have been listening to lots of music and writing down lots of thoughts regarding it all.

I have been meeting new people and feeling new things.

I have been doing boring but necessary things.

I have also done boring and unnecessary things.

I have been angry at myself, in love, and sad.

I have been neglecting things.

I have not been spending enough time on some things. Never the other way around.

I have been forgetting lots of things. Important things.

Maybe if I can list everything out, I have found something special.

Or maybe not.

Speed, Glue & Shinki - Eve




 
2010 (1971); 7 tracks
 
hey you wanna buy some speed? you wanna buy some speed?

Here is the debut album by Japanese progressive/psychedelic rock trio Speed, Glue & Shinki.

Eve was originally released on June 25, 1971 but has since been digitally remastered, which is the version I give you.

Some of last.fm's ever-insightful artist description:

"With Kabe's crunching atonal bass runs and Smith's stop-start rhythms creating a unique foundation for Shinki Chen's euphoric blues, combined with Smith's dangerous outlaw lyrics and caustic Iggy Pop-like vocal asides, gave the band an edge that no other Japanese band could (or would have wished to) achieve.

They took their name from Kabe's love of sniffing Marusan Pro Band glue and Joey Smith's obsession with amphetamines, as evidenced by the lyrics of many Speed, Glue & Shinki songs (all lyrics being written and sung by Smith)."

"Eve is a bluesy, psychedelic album, with Chen's Hendrix-style guitar playing firmly underpinned by Smith's insistent percussion style modelled on the playing of his idol, Ginger Baker."

I don't fucking know. I just really love it. It's hazy and reminiscent of some lost era.

Mi Ami - Steal Your Face


2010; 6 tracks


It is thundering outside...

Oh yeah, this album is so so so so so so so so goddamn incredible. Honestly. It is energetic and all over the place, pulsating with some indefinable, attractive chaos. The frantic sounds edge around psychedelia and a constant, steady beat keeps it moving. The vocals, which by the way are unforgettable, reminded me of Les Georges Leningrad. They're the kind that grate against your ears but leave you begging for more.

Mi Ami is a San Francisco-based noise rock/experimental trio founded in 2007. They've been releasing EPs and 12"'s since 2008, and Steal Your Face is their second album of three (the latest one being from 2011). Fuck everything else on your to-do list today or lack thereof and listen to this album now.

Something else that I admire about this band. They have very nice track names which are ordered in such a way that they seem to... need each other...? lkdwnn told me about this, so thanks @ him.

Lucrate Milk - La Rage Qui Vit


 
 
1991; 20 tracks


As a bizarre French punk band who incorporate jazz, punk, and even some classical into their shrieking, riotous sound, Lucrate Milk is a band most people haven't heard of, but love once they do. I think. Here is a compilation of tracks from a 1983 split with MKB Fraction Provisoire, a 1983 EP entitled Nepla Relou, and their 1987 full-length I Love You Fuck Off. Enjoy.

Pain Teens - Destroy Me, Lover


1993; 10 tracks


For the first post of February, here is Destroy Me, Lover, one of the final full-lengths recorded by the Houston, Texas experimental noise rock band Pain Teens. Pain Teens formed in 1985 by Bliss Blood and Scott Ayers, and Bliss sings on nearly every track. She reminds me of Jarboe (Swans), but for some reason I feel like she would do well singing for Electric Wizard or something. She also has some Lady Gaga moments (that's not a bad thing!) Her menacing low female voice that I love so much - that's what makes this album, for me. Not to mention the incredibly heavy and distorted guitars, and just everything. Um.

I really, really feel like Destroy Me, Lover is what I've been searching for for a long time. I love this album on such a level that I didn't even know I could even feel something this strong. Well, yes I am being quite serious.
