begin HC annex between 16th and s and t show me unassuming concrete so clean, dark and louder hidden breaking all the pieces of your bones, somewhere someone’s trying hard to reconnect all of the above. a punk show, maybe, no bills posted

screaming screaming screaming screaming

dark and louder hidden breaking all the pieces of your bones, somewhere someone’s trying hard to reconnect all of the above, circles in the dark and it’s dangerous to move, i had my arm up and was pasted to the wall another cool confusion that i don’t get but that’s fine because i was happy to go home and write a song

For favorite song, that's a hard one, but I quite like Melody 2 by Tera Melos! Not sure if it's your thing but it's definitely possible

WAIOW this is mathy. i dont really like math rock but i do like when it really overdoes the time signatures and it feels like whiplash.like for the novelty of it every once in a while like having a cigar. like Every place is a house by Maps and atlases kinda but this song does it way a lot more which is cool. saving this in my mind 🧠 so 6/10 pretty cool

@gomadayo you have no idea how much i love recommending music!!!! this really long and is mainly focusing just on what i’ve been listening to for the past month or so (long list of stuff with a bunch of links under the cut!)

my playlist november has a spread of pretty much everything i’ve been listening to for the last month (as titular), some older favourites, some newer, some random stuff. this is a very long clusterfuck of a playlist and is fully disorganized and contains a mess of genres. it has like 100 tracks rn

my playlist recent favs has some—you guessed it—more recent favourites. mainly experimental stuff with a bit of jungle/dnb/breakcore?

my playlist experimental electronic or whatevs is also self explanatory. it has a bunch of more or less experimental and or electronic stuff in it. some of this stuff is questionable ngl

onto albums i recommend:

Untitled by Tera Melos is an experimental prog rock concept album (i guess? im bad at describing things). as music, some of these songs are pretty good and i listen to them fairly often, but more aptly, it’s an incredibly interesting experience to sit through the entire album and make it to melody 8. melody 8 is a real ride. can’t recommend enough

Meeting with a Judas Tree by Duval Timothy is a really great experimental album. mainly piano and field recording focused. i love it a lot

Nothing is Still by Leon Vynhall is an. ambient electronic + piano concept album? through the song titles and music it tells some kind of story. it’s great

On Second Thoughts by Sasha Gavlek is a wonderful alternative jazz album. highly recommend

Neō Wax Bloom by Iglooghost is like. high tempo sample heavy vgm inspired electronic music? that seems a sort of apt description i guess? idk, i like it a lot

some artists i like:

i really really like tv room. i think i put a song of theirs on most playlists i create nowadays lmao. id pick a favourite song but i honestly could not pick, pretty much every song of theirs goes so hard

next two i’ve loved for a bit and in fact have been in my top 5 artists in wrapped for the last two years; Crumb and The Rare Occasions. Crumb is my go-to answer whenever anyone asks me my favourite band, and Notion by The Rare Occasions is what i say is my favourite song ever (you may recognize the lyrics as being my old blog title and bio, Physics is where my current title bio and icon come from lol). realistically those answers are fluid and change month by month but these two bands are certainly some of my favourites of all time.

thank you so much for asking and happy birthday by the way!!! i hope you’ve had a great day!! :^D

#this took my a solid min to write up and tumblr threw a hissy fit halfway through but it should just barely be in time for your birthday!! #spotify playlists #music #.txt #sorry to screenshot ur reply i just needed the space of a post to link stuff #and it felt more topical to make it it’s own post rather than a rb of the wrapped thing #musicposting

Polaris "Music from the Adventures of Pete & Pete" LP. when Pete & Pete came out originally, I was of prime viewing age. Until at least 1995 I just assumed The Flaming Lips did the theme song "Hey Sandy" for the show. This is a great album and it was recorded well too. I was listening at a moderately loud volume, but nothing absurd and sometimes the low end would just subtly rip through me. It was pretty alright. A fun fact about "Hey Sandy": a little over 10 years ago I wanted to hear it so I looked it up on YouTube and there was this weird punked up cover by this band I'd never heard of called Tera Melos. Not only did they go on to become one of my favorite bands of this century, I also can't help but sing "God only knows what I'd be with out you" during the musical interlude as that's what Tera Melos did and it fits perfectly. Now that I think about it, it's kind of interesting some of my favor bands band leaders (Nick Reinhart from Tera Melos and Joe Queer of The Queers) are big Beach Boys fans and I'm a big Beach Boys fan. Funny how that works out. #LP #Vinyl #Records #Polaris #MusicFromTheAdventuresOfPeteAndPete #HeySandy #PeteAndPete #TheBeachBoys #TeraMelos #GodOnlyKnows #TheQueers https://www.instagram.com/p/Cher-KkORRv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Every Record I Own - Day 752: Genghis Tron Dream Weapon

This is an album highlight of 2021.

I saw the early electronic grindcore incarnation of Genghis Tron live once back in 2008. I was at Red 7 in Austin, TX with Russian Circles as part of a tacked-on mini-festival at the end of SXSW. My memory of the night is hazy, though the internet tells me that Maps & Atlases, Lymbyc Systym, Caspian, This Will Destroy You, Circle Takes the Square, Constants, Coliseum, Junius, Portugal the Man, Tera Melos, and The Coma Recovery also played. While I realize that in some circles this is a pretty impressive line-up, back in 2008 most of these bands were just starting out, and rather than feeling like an amazing festival it felt like a disorganized show with way too many artists involved. 

I remember getting a little fatigued by all the post-rock stuff on the bill, and by the time Genghis Tron set up I was excited to hear a band that had a bit more energy and aggression behind them. Unfortunately, in lieu of a drummer they had a drum machine, and while the PA in Red 7 should’ve been adequate enough to make those mechanized beats sound absolutely crushing, the band was hobbled by a mix that made the drums sound quiet and completely cut-off from the live instrumentation. 

For me, this is the big risk when combining electronic elements in a rock band. With the right sound engineer and the right PA, it can sound amazing. But in a small club with a disinterested sound engineer and no real soundcheck, the electronic components often sound detached and separate instead of fully integrated into the band’s sound. I wanted to believe, but I was not made into a Genghis Tron convert that night.

After a thirteen year hiatus, Genghis Tron returned with Dream Weapon. The metal elements are completely gone. The vocals have switched from grindcore grunts and shrieks to layered harmonies and vocoded treatments. The guitars are minimal while the synths take center stage. And though there are still electronic drum patterns, my SUMAC comrade Nick Yacyshyn hammered out live drums on the album. So really, it feels like a totally different band. And while I’m generally down for the mechanized assault of industrialized metal/hardcore (see: Uniform, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Godflesh, Austerity Program, etc.), I gotta say that this new incarnation of Genghis Tron completely won me over in a way their earlier work did not. Dream Weapon isn’t about brute force. While Nick’s drumming definitely lends an aggressive power to the album, the overall vibe of the record is more exhilarating than antagonistic. 

I remember driving on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago one night, past the skyscrapers of downtown, the city lights glowing, Tangerine Dream turned up loud on the car stereo. The music paired with the monoliths of concrete and neon felt like some joyride into the future. Listening to Dream Weapon feels a little like that night if you were to add some element of danger and adrenaline---a pursuit, or perhaps a race to some urgent destination but with the full confidence of succeeding in the mission. It’s the soundtrack of accelerating into the night, of feeling in control of the man-made constructs surrounding us, of retaining the sense of self in an increasingly automated world.

Dream Weapon came out when we were all still in the pre-vaccine COVID lockdown, when the idea of live shows returning was still up in the air. And while that generally felt like a difficult time to release albums since there was no ability to promote them through touring, those restrictions might have actually served as a boon to Genghis Tron. This is music from some future world. Its sense of space feels divorced from reality. While I would absolutely love to see this incarnation of the band perform live, there’s also something really special about the fantasy world it creates. Dream World came out at a time when reality was pretty bleak and we were all relatively cut off from each other, and it offered a beguiling alternate world for us to bask in during our isolation.
