plkzfx - plkzistentializm (cassette)
further (us) fur075cs $6.70 |
|
I can find zero information on who Plkzfx might be, but I can tell you that his/her new cassette on Further Records is positively a mind bender, with enough movement and schizophrenic energy to satisfy a ten year old's birthday party. In fact, at a high volume "Plkzistentializm" makes you question your sanity, skewing reality towards a bright, hyper-colored video game. Plkzfx uses that medium as a starting point, particularly on the first track that ... more info |

The Head Technician cruises up with his first 12" maxi single, presented on Boomkat Editions. Since Type's reissue of his Black Mill Tapes last year, PCA has had praise coming from all angles: whether it's for his slick-but-sleazy, Carl Craigian lustre, the BoC-like melodic hooks, or his beautifully full bodied analogue production; he's really hit a collective soft spot dead on. We were keen to hear him attempt something slightly more club-wise, and, ... more info |

Primal Sphere is huge in a prehistoric sense and it seems to lumber over charred landscapes and unrecognizable ruins like some leviathan from the past. The Los Angeles-based duo assemble likeness to some rather big names in the noise milieu from the past decade – Yellow Swans, Wolf Eyes, Black Dice, etc – on their latest offering, but in doing so remain original and refreshing amid referential approaches. Robedoor are at their best when they go loud, ... more info |

Conrad Standish and Tom Carlyon cut their teeth in Devastations, an Australian-based rock act that that was steeped in the menacing dispositions of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Outwardly they have changed considerably on "Deleted Scenes," their first album as a duo, but their mellow, noir-inflected pop music still retains a dark, ominous tone that is very much linked to their previous incarnation. Instrumentation is sleek and fully driven by ... more info |

Amsterdam's Stefan Vincent unleashes these four gems into the world. Both "Conflate Four" and "Five" are about as trippy as it gets, reminding us of the golden '90s era of psychedelic Detroit and Berlin techno. Stefan showcases a different side of himself on "Fool Me Again" and "Welder." Two downtempo, electronic, ambient cuts. "Welder" embraces futuristic synths and abstract, alienating sound design, while "Fool Me Again" is Detroit melancholy at ... more info |

Inspired by French poet Jacques Rigaut, the duo of Yannick Franck and Craig Hilton attempt to translate his dada-leaning written work into a surreal and unsettling audio journey. "Flowers for L.P." succeeds on a lot of fronts due to the album's oblique, unclassifiable approach to music and instrumentation.

"Collusion" changes that as the Los Angeles-based and prolific collaborator Z'ev melds his rhythmic powers with the drumming duo Hati to form a banging, pulsing, and quaking album that explores texture and mood as much as the more typical percussive uses.
