Album Review: The Orange Revival – ‘Futurecent’

tor

Anyone with enough nous, to come up with a transcendental record title as good as ‘Futurecent’, is guaranteed to pique my attention.

The Orange Revival have nous in abundance, as a listen to their sophomore LP will quickly attest.

“Emerging from the depths of Sweden, the band The Orange Revival playing experimental rock n’ roll”, says the band’s webpage by way of humble, understated introduction.

The Orange Revival burst forth with their now long sold out, 2011 debut album ‘Black Smoke Rising’, (I know because I just spent an hour trawling the internet in vain, for a vinyl copy).

They then cemented their reputation with constant touring, a 7″ single ‘Lying In The Sand’, mastered by Sonic Boom whom they met during a tour with his band Spectrum, all topped off with two stops at Austin Psych Fest.

Album Review: Radar Men From The Moon – ‘Subversive I’

rmfmtm-e1391178672571

I have had the unbridled pleasure of witnessing Radar Men From The Moon in their natural live, improvisational element, on two rapturous occasions now.

Last year, following the release of their ‘Strange Wave Galore’ long player, then earlier this year in concert with The Cosmic Dead for their collaborative, shamanic wig-out, ‘Audio Test 001.epl 15 – hit, quit, rave, repeat’.

Both instances on hometown soil at the distinguished Effenaar venue, as part of their lovingly curated, inaugural then sophomore, impeccably organised, Eindhoven Psych Lab.

The instrumental powerhouse that is Radar Men From The Moon, have carved out for themselves an enviable niche, as their mission statement attests, “Their approach on the psychedelic rock scene is rather broad. By taking different genres into account such as shoegaze, neo-psych, space and noise rock, they take off in an interstellar exploration of new sounds”.

Album Review: Quicksails – ‘Fleurs de la Lune’

qs2

A crash course in all that is Quicksails with a few words from the man himself;

“Quicksails is the moniker of Ben Billington’s densely layered solo electronic music. Influenced by the Kosmische school of krautrock and the organ works of minimalists Terry Riley and J.D. Emmanuel, Billington conjures abstract synth-scapes, hypnotic loops and textured atmospheres punctuated by rhythmic pulses. His background in free jazz and world percussion also lends a heavy hand to create a truly unique project that sets itself apart from the vast synthesizer music underground of today. Billington’s debut vinyl offering Silver Balloons In Clusters (2012) was released through Under the Spire Records. The album Mayville Dream (2013) was released by Spectrum Spools, the label curated by John Elliott (of Emeralds) as an off-shoot of Peter Rehberg’s Editions Mego. His solo music has also been released through Deception Island, Digitalis Limited, Discriminate Music, and NNA Tapes”.

Album Review: Squadra Omega – ‘altri occhi ci guardano’

photograph by Lorenzo Ferraro

Sometimes in life it seems, if you don’t join the dots, the dots join you.

My appreciation for AK Press / PM Press founder Ramsey Kanaan, recently led me to the M.A. Littler film in which he appeared, called ‘The Kingdom Of Survival‘. I had no idea at the time, that just a few short months later I’d be in thrall to Squadra Omega, who just so happen to have provided the soundtrack to M.A. Littler’s ‘Lost Coast‘, both on Slowboat Films.

“Over the past 15 years Slowboat Films has gathered a dedicated international cult following for their uncompromising aesthetic and portrayal of underground art & music, radical politics and maverick minds”.

I’d like to think that if this page aspires to anything, it is that some of those same maverick minds may find their way to this portal.

LP Review: E Gone – ‘Advice To Hill Walkers’

eg

Daniel Westerlund aka The Goner aka E Gone, recently beseeched that we, “stick it to the powers that be”, with the announcement of E Gone’s follow up to last years landmark, (in every sense of the word), ‘All The Suns Of The Earth‘ LP.

“Being the second part of a loosely knit trilogy – ‘Advice To Hill Walkers’ – offers useful advice before and/or while partaking in any form of mountaineering”.

Can it truly be stated that E Gone is back, when ‘Advice To Hill Walkers’, infers that his temporal, inter-dimensional travels find him in a constant state of aeonic flux. The here or there, perhaps is nothing more than a transportive wormhole, an Escher frame of reference.
