Shlohmo - Chore Boy Feat. Salem // video

"

Lead single from Shlohmo's new album "Repulsor", which came out today (the album, not the music video). I haven't had a chance to check the longplay yet, but it should be a solid record. The SALEM-featuring track is ok, but to be honest sounds like a off-cut from "Fires In Heaven". Great video though.

Dead Hands - Ode To Geri

Dead Hands is one of my favourite new artist names, so I'm checking out all his new stuff by default these days. "Ode To Geri" is a three track noise pill, that will drill itself into your psyche if you let it loose unattended for a while. Featuring screams and shouts, the EP will not let you fall asleep until you repent for your sins in your mind. Or you can just call it sonic zombie apocalypse. Fucking ace.

Check it out here, and stream it below.

[lyn] - Dreamaturgie

"Dreamaturgie" is the latest EP from experimental French producer and vocalist [lyn]. Inspired by theatre, the release can be experienced as a three-act piece and an intermission at the end, with each chapter exploring a different genre. Acid techno, playful house, and droning ambient soundscapes showcase the range of their author, while the 14-minute closing track "Dialogue" offers a glimpse into the eclectic club sound curated by [lyn] - uniquely coloured by his signature Gregorian chants.

Buy the album from the label here, or directly from [lyn] here. Stream below.

OKKVLT KΛTT - Aon Ní // video

"

Pepsy cooked this lo-fi, grainy, red-themed music video for Katt's single "Aon Ní", lifted from his last year's album "Mo Áthas". The album will (finally) get a physical release thanks to the Séance crew, hopefully before the end of the year.

Aesop Rock - I Heard It's A Mess There Too

Surprise and free album from Aesop Rock? Yes, please! Well, free-ish, it was available for a couple of days, before the files were replaced with 'buy now' link. "I Heard It's A Mess There Too" is fun, approachable and surprisingly catchy. It takes me back to the backpack rap era - not the Def Jux style, but rather the more funky, boom-bappy hip-hop. Apparently the whole project started off as a one-line that couldon't leave Ian's head, and slowly evolved into this fully fleshed out project. Dope.

Support A-Rock here and order physicals here. Digital version is currently available here.

The Implicit Order - Ember In The Dark

The Implicit Order kills on this one. "Ember In The Dark" starts as a creepy, lo-fi harsh noise wall, and half way through evolves into an angelic ambient theme before coming down crashing into the noise dirge from the beginning. Not sure if this will be re-released somewhere at the later date, but you can stream it here.

Human Hollow - Eraser

"Eraser" is Human Hollow's new horror-themed EP that came out just a few days ago. I blogged about the singles "Playind Dead" and "Delgado" a while back, so it's great to get the full set all in one place. The dark, season-appropriate themes fit the music - HH's sound is more gothic and EBM-flavoured, which matches the lyrics and delivery. The opening song "Puppy Love" should be a total jam for all fellow 80s slasher fans!
