Gravitar - Now the Road of Knives
























Year: 1997
RYM / Here

Messy, abrasive, loose and at their best transcendent, Gravitar forged an improv-driven path between heavy rock touchstones like the Melvins, Sabbath and Unsane with out-jazz, space rock and psychedelic noise. -Last fm

Long Fin Killie - Houdini






























HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Year: 1995
RYM / Here

A mid-90s Scottish band, Long Fin Killie may be best known as the band that singer Luke Sutherland sang for before subsequently embarking on his solo project under the name of Bows. Other members in the band included Colin Greig, David Turner, and Philip Cameron. Over the course of three albums and numerous singles, the Scottish act cemented their musical style and constantly employed a mix of delicate string arrangements, horns, and of course, Luke Sutherland’s often delicate singing style that often ventured into more aggressive waters during certain tracks. Singing about topics that ranged from issues of race and sexuality to societal standards of beauty, the group remained anything but your typical rock act during their brief existence. -Last fm

Crow Tongue - Ghost Eye Seeker

Year: 2008
RYM / Here

"Timothy Renner and Æ Hoskin are the duo of Crow Tongue who present in this debut full length, Ghost : Eye : Seeker a flanging psychedelic free-for-all of weird folk and acidic noise whose mordant emission is enthralling as it is unique.
Charnel distortion from guitar and bowed “instruments” exude a canopy of rustling and prickling noise, a dense miasma of swelter about the self while Eastern instrumentation dovetails amidst the flushed haze steeping the air in psychedelic mysticism."- Heathen Harvest

D.A. - Odeon

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Year: 2009
RYM / Here
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

"D.A.’s darkly cosmic constructs neighbor the lazerbeam meditations from Emeralds and Infinity Window, with a distinctly dystopian vantage point as witnessed from their reported rooftop performances that overlook the Los Angeles police departments training grounds for riot control. Minor key melodies flutter over rotating sequences of electronics and slow-burning crescendos, all of which blossom with spectral washes of guitar and oceanic white noise. Dare it be said that D.A. might have outdone Emeralds’ nearly impeccable album of kosmische poetics on What Happened? Yeah, they probably did." - The Wire

2nd Gen - Irony Is



Year: 2001
RYM / Here

2nd Gen is an experiment consisting of white noise, industrial beats, contorted voices and bass all blended together with a total disregard for the rules of music. And yet, somehow this strange mixture just works. I first heard 2nd Gen on the radio in 2001. It was in the middle of the night, and I was studying for my exams. Normally I'm not a fan of industrial music, but this just stuck to me. The obscure artist I was looking for didn't turn up in my internet searches the next day, and I forgot all about 2nd Gen until somewhere last year, when I found the album in a local cd store. Imagine my surprise when the music I had heard only once turned out the be even better than I thought!
