Agriculture - Agriculture Well here it is! The long awaited first release from the LA based black metal project Agriculture. Agriculture has been building up steam from pre-release reviews and commendations from metal blogs, critics, magazines, the whole lot. This album, at least in my circles, had a lot of hype. Even had a whole meme associated with the band: "I love the spiritual sound of ecstatic black metal by the band Agriculture" and it's pretty good! First off, a lot of black metal fans will shit on anything blackgaze-esc. Anything that even has the smallest whiff of Deafheaven or Liturgy is considered "Not Kvlt" or "poser shit" and frankly a lot of those people think that way because they're more invested in the aesthetic of music, how it makes them look to others, how it makes them feel, then they are about pushing forward the genre. Listening to the same four Norwegian black metal bands from the 90's isn't KVLT. Listening to endless repeats of the same tired BM tropes just reminds me of a Satanic version of Greta Van Fleet, and that is an ATROCIOUS thing to be similar to. Not too mention, all too often, these "TRUE BLACK METAL KVLT BANDS" are just Nazi Black Metal. From Burzum to Deathspell Omega. It's just Nazi shit. Agriculture on the other hand really dives deep into the blackgaze genre. Really pushing against what people expect when they turn on a black metal album. There is an interlude that is just a man singing over guitars. There are trumpet and jazz-esc sections. I mean there's still a shit ton of tremelo picking and high pitched screaming but it's black metal you know. There are definitely moments where it all works and it all felt so incredibly epic. Those emotional highs that I got listening to Liturgy or Deafheaven, but, at least on the first listen, I came away thinking "Yup. Kinda what I thought it would be." Not that that's a bad thing just, I wasn't blown away. The instrumentation was good, the singing was good, just... maybe it just didn't click for me. I'm excited to give it another listen and see if maybe I'll pick up on more nuances in a different context or mood. If so maybe I'll revisit my thoughts. But for now I think it's fine. If you really like this kinda music you'll absolutely love this, but for me, I'll probably just listen to some more liturgy.

Saturday night at La Zorba in Paris......

Finally, I was able to crawl out of the shed of Reille – without my backpack for once, what a relief – and walked down the street to the metro station on Saturday night before Daylight Saving Time on Sunday – you know longer days & shorter nights – to take a few trains up to Belleville to catch a proper experimental music event. And, this was definitely that type of event to catch!I had the…

Jute Gyte - Ship of Theseus

Holy fucking SHIIIIIT. Jute Gyte has to be one of if not my favorite solo-black metal project, black metal, project, fucking whatever cool experimental stuff he does I love. The main thing that Adam Kalmbach's project Jute Gyte is known for is its use of Microtonal Music. If you don't know, western music is generally split (super simplifying here) into half tones. So you have A and then A Sharp and then B, C, then C sharp, D, D sharp. So it progresses in these half steps. In Middle eastern Music and south asian music, and many other cultures outside of the western school of music theory. There are many many more. So there could be a note between d sharp and E that is just like D sharp sharp, or maybe D.78 or D.92 depending on how specific. Essentially Jute Gyte is playing notes, chords, and scales that do not exist within western music canon. If you've never listened to music outside of that space (which includes everything from Justin Bieber to Darkthrone to WuTang to Mozart to Elvis to Miles Davis to Taylor Swift) then this is going to sound insane to you. Even out of tune, it isn't. This is just that cool ass experimental music. This whole album, once you get into the sound he's going for, is such a slow and particular burn filled with incredibly dense riffs and noise orchestration. The guitars prick and and pop almost sounding like metallic crashes or high pitched banging to fit in with the noisey sampling and electronic soundscape. They float between almost recognizable sounds by incorporating notes that aren't within the western canon but are a similar space apart between familiar chords / scales (for instance playing in D.75 Major scale). This playing with familiarity makes everything feel uncanny and uneasy, yet still beautiful. Each song has it's low quieter moments that build into epic, high intensity climaxes that are so dense and well constructed that even after a few listens there will still be details, notes and references. An absolute fucking experience. Jute Gyte is one of the best to be making music right now.
