Dan Deacon - Bromst

Release date: March 24th, 2009

Label: Carpark Records

5/5
Length: 1h
Get older, get your Wet Wings, says Dan Deacon an electronic Avant-gardist from Baltimore. One of the top experimental bands these days among with Gang Gang Dance, The Octopus Project and Black Moth Super Rainbow.
The new record released a while ago, still takes a while to chew it propally. He is still on his own, but sounds at least like a trio.
New album is resonant, cheerful & noisy, but the variety of sounds is enormous, it is crazy like a kindergarden. Image your young brother playing old computer games, pressing one button all the time, imagine this in a dance rythm, with a blank TV-screen sound on the backgroung, this is Bromst!
Recommended tracks: Build Voice, Red F, Woof Woof.

Rainbow Arabia - The Basta EP



Release date: 2nd of September, 2008

5/5

Label: UK label Merok

Length: 20:40

Today music is overdosed with a heavy amount of everything and nothing, and to understand who is worth listening nowadays is a hard exercise, and being able to sing or play the guitar is not enought, you have to be a bit deviant and weird. This is what New Weird America seems to be doing, bringing to life their new fresh pixies of avant-garde.

Rainbow Arabia is another couple with electronic drums, but.. if you have not heard them before, then you have not heard anything like that at all. They are definitely one of the most original bands of the 21st century, where the number of new bands seems to be bigger then the amount of stars in the universe. It is like New Year's clapper, bright and loud, flying out with Lebanese synthesizers and serpentine guitar lines, psychedelic, tribal world sounds of Arabia and female yelling make the great mixture of punk-dance ethnic tunes in terror act costumes they look and sound weird. They are aboriginal population of everything and nothing deviant.

Recommended tracks:Letthem Dance, See no Hear No, The Basta

Both of their videos are strongly recommended to be watched:

Voodoo Economics - If : then :: iminami


Release date: 2007; possibly there is no official date for it
4/5
Label: Voodoo Economics (Do you need a label in the 21st century? Do you want to share your honestly earned money and lick their asses?)
Length: 41:18
The album is freely available for downloading on last.fm , but it is worth paying! A penetraiting voice, nice melodies, long song titles, lyrics with sense, what else do you need for being original? Live gigs!? Have not seen them live yet, so cannot tell you whether they can do it live, but album is definitely well structured. She has got a birdy voice, accompanied by deep bass lines and electronic distortion . Nothing too much, everything is just about perfect.
Recommended tracks: Hit soft like a featherload of bricks, You sleuth you;, Formes of clay, fire, soot and bone.

Holy Fuck - Holy Fuck


Release date: 4th of November, 2005
5/5
Label: Holy Fuck
Length: 50:28
The 20th century was an intelectual century with all its Beatles and teenspirit smells, therefore the 21st century turned into post-modern assholness and amusing FUCKS, where no limits or rules are followed, and to be fucked up, pressing fuck buttons is OK. Holy Fuck is another statement of being present, as the math rock was invented in the 21st century, at least it was calculated just recently, and if you can find similar sounding bands in the 20th century, just let me know. Live bass and live drums, synth-keyboards and neverending rythmic melodies blow you away, because this is holy fuck, man!
