September hinged on the discovery of the Noise in France compilation (see below), which sent us off and digging up the best of a surprisingly vibrant French garage rock scene. Anticipated releases by Aphex Twin and Death from Above 1979 were solid, but didn't quite move me in my old jaded age.
Album of the Month
VA - Noise in France - A thrilling who's who in recent French garage / noise /experimental rock, banging out a strikingly potent cocktail of adventurousness and listenability.
Also Recommended!
Lorde - Pure Heroine - I was surprised how much I liked this little pop gem, it's hooky, intricate, spooky stuff.
The Dying Falls - Pheromones
- Finally got around to listening to this album by some local
favorites: extremely catchy, synth-wielding NY-style postpunk that
demands a dancing-to.
The Octopus Project - Fever Forms - Packed to the gills with overbusy, superfuzzy, damned hooky electronic jams.
Purling Hiss - Lounge Lizards - Simple, strutting, nasty rock and roll doing what it do and doing it good.
