Hello
again peoples, here is the Other Rock Show hasty essential playlist guide
so that you can hunt down which of these beauties you want to spend the
rest of your days obsessing about:
The
breathtaking UPSILON ACRUX are possibly the finest avant rock band
on the planet -they're from the US - the Organ review is here,
and these two tracks are from their recently released album Galapagos Momentum.
Ten melodically, rhythmically, gratuitously complex compositions, not one
second of filler. Go into your local HMV and violently demand a copy until
they throw you out of the shop, then try www.myspace.com/upsilonacrux
or www.cuneiformrecords.com.
YOU
AND THE ATOM BOMB are from Bristol, this was from new mini-LP 'The
Spirit Of Things' on Sink And Stove records - a recent album
of the week here at Organ - more info at www.youandtheatombomb.co.uk
and www.sinkandstove.co.uk.
METSATÖLL
are from Estonia, they appear to be of the pagan persuasion and their album
Hiiekoda and others is available in the UK via Nailboard Records - www.nailboard.org
- see ORGAN #222 for lots more details
Legendary
LIARS
had a no-messing self-titled album out while we were off air - here's the
review - they're probably on tour again soon,
do not miss them live - www.liarsliarsliars.com
San
Diego four-peice SLEEPING PEOPLE (not to be confused with UK prog
outfit Sleepy People) have this delightful album out October 22nd on Temporary
Residence - and reviewed by us here, its
called Growing and features a final track with Rob Crow (Heavy Vegetable,
Thingy) on vocals - www.myspace.com/sleepingpeople,
available in the UK via www.cargorecords.co.uk
HAPPY
PENGUIN HUNGRY BEAR we came across playing one of their first gigs
down at the Fiddler's Elbow in Camden (excellent little venue by the way,
keep it to yourself) - astonished to find UK band playing complex proper
progressive instrumental stuff-this was from a two-track demo, contact
www.myspace.com/happypenguinhungrybear
The
beautiful and uplifting EFTERKLANG are so emotional and delicate
they make Sigur Ros sound like Whitesnake: these two tracks are the album
versions of their new single - single of the
week this week on the Organ pages. It is called Mirador, the band are
from Denmark. This single is released Oct 8th, the album is out on Oct
15th tour in mid-November - www.myspace.com/efterklang
Another
band touring the UK in early-mid November is CARDIACS - this is
from their new (!) three-track single out as part of the limited edition
Org-An-Ised Singles series, out on Nov 5th, get it from here
- yes, we're talking about those Cardiacs, who were doing this stuff when
it was illegal, new material and on top form and never more relevant -
hear more and download some older material free from here www.cardiacs.com
A first
helping of PRE on the radio from us, a London band put an album
out with the wonderful Skin Graft Records of Chicago, and no wonder Skin
Graft have jumped on this one, they're already legendary live - album of
the week here back at the start of Sepember.
Hear them at www.myspace.com/preprepreprewww.skingraftrecords.com/audio
FUNANORI
and LITE are sharing a split album - Funanori is multi-instrumentalist
Kaori505 from The Go! Team aided in places by Mike Watts from Minutemen,
The Stooges and Firehose, whilst LITE (they always use capitals) are a
mega-tight instrumental avant/math/prog outfit from Japan...album is called
'A Tiny Twofer', you can get it from www.transductionrecords.com
London-based
INSTRUMENTS
are making lovely mathy warm stuff and this was from a recent Organ demo
of the week... www.myspace.com/instrumentsmakemusic
finally
ATHLETIC
AUTOMATON are a two-piece in the burgeoning tradition of avant rock
noise duos, with the added pedigree of Arab On Radar's utterly distinctive
guitarist, Steve Mattos, working with his perfect drummer Patrick Crump
- this was from excoriating new album Journey Through Roman's Empire
out now on Skin Graft. You could describe it as Arab On Radar on acid.
Let's think about that for a moment. Arab on Radar... on acid - the Organ
album review is here explore over at - www.skingraftrecords.com
...good
hunting/listenin’, Marina Organ
