Luciftias

“Staring into Oblivion”

From the eg0cide Productions release notes:

“We welcome back long time contributor John Beers aka Luciftias with a new album of subtle droning ambient, featuring contributions of his cousin and collaborator Caleb Beers. Like most of their work, Staring Into Oblivion is based on guitar sounds, often heavily treated but more recognizable on some tracks here – always hypnotic.”

GoH-161: SADO RITUALS & TAKLAMAKAN – Conjuration of Metal & Blood

Wall of metal junk noise carried by a heavy, hypnotic drone. Pulsating tension meets a bloodthirsty frenzy. Nearly an hour of ritual, blackened industrial.

Fields Ohio- Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire

Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire

Fields Ohio – Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire

Fields Ohio

“Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire”

LINER NOTES

Bien que moins souvent à l’honneur dans nos pages que d’autres projets du New-Yorkais Eddie Palmer (citons Cloudwarmer, Aries Death Cult ou feu The Fucked Up Beat en plus de ses albums solo), ce duo plus acoustique et psyché qui l’associe à la multi-instrumentiste et vocaliste Christine Annarino fait preuve d’une belle constance depuis une dizaine d’années d’existence, avec une quinzaine de sorties au compteur, pour l’essentiel en long format.

Déjà auteurs cette année de l’excellent “Valkyrie”, typique de l’univers des Américains entre trip-hop mystique aux accents world music, downtempo-patchouli densément arrangé et touches electro hédonistes, on imaginait les Fields Ohio persister et signer dans leur admirable pré carré Ninja-Tunesque (de la belle époque) avec cette suite. Loin s’en faut ! Si “Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire” se décline au gré de la double-hélice d’un ADN désormais bien connu, il donne également l’occasion aux deux musiciens de se réinventer avec subtilité. Les rythmiques ici sont souvent plus feutrées, les textures plus oniriques et gorgées de reverb au diapason des nappes de synthés scintillantes d’Eddie, les lignes acoustiques et vocales de Christine fondues dans l’ensemble avec une homogénéité toute particulière, les mélodies presque serpentines et d’une fluidité qui évoque l’eau, élément omniprésent sur le disque.

Souvent inspiré par la contemplation de la rivière Hudson que surplombe son appartement new-yorkais ou par ses sorties au bord de l’océan, Eddie Palmer y trouve en effet matière à se concentrer sur le présent, autre thème central de l’album. “Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire” sonne ainsi comme un rappel à l’ordre que l’on se fait, dans ces moments de chaos que la vie nous réserve : affronter les problèmes un à un, un jour après l’autre, sans se préoccuper de trop d’un futur encore lointain et abstrait. Autant de sensations – ligne d’horizon, impermanence et abstraction – qui président à cette superbe collection d’instrumentaux au groove impressionniste et hypnotique.

ENGLISH VERSION

Although not featured in our website’s columns as often as other projects by New Yorker Eddie Palmer (including Cloudwarmer, Aries Death Cult or the late great The Fucked Up Beat, in addition to his solo albums), this more acoustic and psychedelic duo associating him with multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Christine Annarino has shown great consistency over the span of its ten years of existence, with about fifteen releases so far.

After dropping earlier this year the excellent “Valkyrie”, representative of the band’s signature sound somewhere between mystical trip-hop with “world music” elements, densely arranged downtempo psychedelics and hedonistic electronic touches, we imagined that Fields Ohio would go on with that “great Ninja Tune era” trademark with its follow-up. Not exactly though ! Even if “Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire” remains consistent with that henceforth well-known DNA, it also gives the two musicians the opportunity to subtly reinvent themselves. The beats here are often more subdued, the textures more dreamlike and bursting with reverb in tune with Eddie’s scintillating synth pads, Christine’s acoustic and vocal lines melt into the whole with more homogeneity, and the melodies’ fluidity evoke water, an omnipresent element on the record.

The contemplation of the Hudson River from his New York apartment or his outings by the ocean indeed help Eddie Palmer to focus on the present, another central theme of the album. “Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire” thus sounds like a reminder, in these moments of chaos that life has in store for us: facing the problems one by one, one day after another, without worrying too much about a still distant and abstract future. So many sensations – the horizon, impermanence and abstraction – which preside over the impressionistic and hypnotic groove of this impressive new collection of instrumentals.

Moki Mcfly

“Tabernacle Sanctuary Alligator Soufflé”

Moki Mcfly describes “Tabernacle Sanctuary Alligator Soufflé”, his 7th blocSonic release, as “a token of creative cross-pollination, assimilating influences from a multitude of origins”. That hits the nail on the head. A culmination of years of influences and experience, the new eleven track album is a sonic joy to listen to.

Moki goes on to say “At its core, the driving force of jungle and drum and bass forms a rhythmic foundation that propels the sonic narrative forward with an invigorating cadence. The interaction between these varied components cultivates a layered auditory experience, the intrinsic swing and bounce derived from Memphis rap harmoniously converge with the pulsating energy of electronic rhythms. Intertwining the resonant harmonies reminiscent of the soulful era of the 1970s. These harmonies evoke sentiment, weaving an emotional tapestry that resonates across time. It serves as a conduit between genres and decades, evoking a sense of musical nostalgia while breathing fresh life into the sonic landscape.”

So whatever you do, be sure to download and listen to this fantastic new album. Please enjoy & spread the word.

Moki… thanks for another incredible album! You never disappoint.

Of course, thanks once again to you for downloading & listening. We always strive to deliver the music you’ll love. Please spread the word about blocSonic, if you enjoy what we do.

Yadak – Cells for Replication

Yadak – Cells for Replication
[pn222]

Yadak

“Cells for Replication”

The album “Cells for Replication” by Yadak immediately captures attention, generating a deep emotional connection from the body, primitive and animalistic. Its sound envelops and invites the listener to immerse themselves in an existence that flows in waves, awakening profound states that are increasingly restless and connecting with internal places that express themselves in intimacy. I can’t separate it from the image; it moves, transitions, evolves, it carries you… As I listen, oscillating landscapes slowly unfold, swaying between stillness and darkness, then gliding towards crystalline lights and fluid pulses. Yadak‘s sonic gestures manifest in imaginary landscapes, full of texture and color. I feel as if I’m traveling through time, traversing vibrant and diverse atmospheres that are almost palpable. At certain moments, the music emerges with a hypnotic intensity, shifting tones and providing sharpness and timbral brilliance even in the darkest segments. That contrasting luminosity of textures resembles a glow that sparkles in a deep blue twilight. The chiaroscuro is ever-present, carried by mechanical impulses that convey a sense of different spatial planes, with a manifest intention to take us on the journey to the end.

“Cells for Replication” obeys nothing more than its own emotion, and it drags you through time with determination. The music permeates attention, generating an immersive sensory experience, playing with images of our era, human beings, life, and artificial intelligence. It’s impossible not to feel the territorial vastness it proposes, situating the physical sensation in this subtle yet robust imaginary landscape. The rhythms carry you forward, anchoring a precise point of contemplative stillness while awakening memory. As I approach the end of the album, an image appears in which the sea is close. In my mind, I can almost imagine what it would be like to immerse myself in it. I breathe deeply and ponder the question: how can one not be carried away?

(Santiago, Chile. Agosto / August 2023)

This mixture of climates with apparent sequences is very well coordinated, there is a profound sense of melancholy with sparks of light, as if to say that you can still float and see positive things in a dark ocean.

Zippy Kid and Razxca

“Split”

Zippy Kid and Razxca of Genetic Trance fame have teamed up to create this split single. Opened by some playful synth impro of Zippy Kid’s ‘Cloudz and Snow’, we suddenly find ourselves listening to an electric guitar solo before Razxca’s ‘Untitled 001’ takes over and sets the tone with a minimal noise texture of epic length.
