This is a compilation of various artists who have united to make a contribution to the memory of George Floyd in the wake of his murder by the Minneapolis Police. We call for justice for George Floyd and all victims of police brutality and systemic racism in the USA and the World.
All proceeds will go to the George Floyd Memorial Fund and the Justice and Equality Fund which raises funds for multiple organizations to fight racial injustice and police brutality.
This is the second work of the japanese aym. Once again she surprises us with this little treasure, a dreampop release influenced by classical music, electronic pop and minimalist.
The perfect album to be heard on rainy days.
Highly recommended.

This music is written and recorded quickly to capture the emotion of the moment. It’s lyrics are mostly taken from stream of conciseness and short journal entries. Some sections work to tell a story while others are content to depict abstract thoughts and feelings. The songs contain themes of selfishness, youth, consumerism, relationships, pollution, drug use, duality, religion, and employment to name a few. Although it is up to the listener to take away whatever messages they hear.
The project has been a work in progress since 2018, picked up when it felt right and not forced. All 12 songs were recorded to cassette tape using a Tascam Portastudio. Guitars, and ukulele make up the majority of the instrumentation but banjo, synth, harmonica, and bells can be found throughout. In place of traditional drums found objects and small percussion have been layered and sampled to build a backing rhythm. While tracking a variety of guitar pedals were placed in line to manipulate the sounds. Nearly all of the vocal tracks have been run through a “Hall of Fame” reverb pedal and very little post production work was done. Vocal doubling and hard stereo panning aim to give the tracks a spacious and ambient feeling. Each track is different but the methods used to capture the audio give the project unity.
Mild Wild has taken it’s influences (both sonically and visually) from the writer’s experiences and upbringing, many of which are subconsciously sourced. However some artist that have directly shaped the direction of the music include The Beatles, Kool A.D., Mac Demarco, Pavement, The Kinks, Stanley Kubrick, Wes Anderson, George Orwell, Ansel Adams, and Vincent Van Gough. Although that list could be much longer with more self reflection.
Mild Wild creates music not for profit but to share a brand of creativity that is truthful. All the songs included in Vol. 1 are free to download and use however others may see fit. The music is licensed under a Attribution Creative Commons. The hope is that the sounds when set free will organically find their way into other creative places.

Big Blood is:
Colleen Kinsella
Caleb Mulkerin
Quinnisa Kinsella Mulkerin
Written and recorded at home by Big Blood.
This album is dedicated to Paul Yves Reny, Greta Thunberg and Fred Cole. Thank You to Feeding Tube Records.
Taken From Feeding Tube Records:
Wow! Great new LP by the full trio version of Maine’s Big Blood. Colleen, Caleb and Quinnisa are all present and accounted for at every turn on this one!
Unlike their last LP, The Daughter’s Union (FTR 459) (which seemed like some sort of experiment involving glam-rock-readymades), Do You Wanna? is awash with crazily re-imagined girl group dynamics. Some of these tight-sparkly-dress recreations have a savage teenage authority, but others wiggle more like dreams stolen from the nodes of Julee Cruise, Angelo Badalmanetti or David Lynch. Sometimes there are style-ghosts standing in all the expected places, but none of them are behaving the way we’d expect.
But I do not wish to paint the sound here as monochromatic. There are many of Big Blood’s classic elements employed with trademark pluck — witchy patches recalling early Spires That in the Sunset Rise, small balloons filled with glitter & gas-pulses, bubbling pools of pure psychedelic confusion. But the strange sophistication of children wearing Diana Ross masks is something new. And it’s such a mesmerizing vision, I find myself paying extra attention to it.
But then again, that’s just the surface. The lyrics here are of a piece with Big Blood’s patented approach of creating surrealist poetry in a rural and arrestingly original American style. Quinissa’s newly rampant influence seems to be grounding some of the lyrical imagery in more quotidian scenes (”Insecure Kids,” etc.), but with the parental examples she’s afforded on a daily basis, this may just be a phase. But whatever else it is, Do You Wanna? is another amazing spin from Big Blood. And there’s even a poster you can pin on your memory board. Talk about your win/win situations!

The music you are listening to was recorded in the last week of August 2012 in Bralitz/Brandenburg, Germany. That year, there wasn’t a Braaahhlitz Festival yet, just a small concert at the end of the week. So there was plenty of time to play music.
The basic tracks with guitars, drums and bass were mostly recorded live, on a stage in the old railway station’s former waiting hall. After that, the musicians from the aaahh-records family contributed their parts. No boundaries – there is soul infused pop, folky acoustic songs, quirky raps, and beautiful melodies.

Formed 16 years ago, Lavoura is a reference in future jazz made in Brazil. The group debuted two more songs, after a series of singles started in 2018. “Ayizan” is the first single. Climatic, the track brings in its DNA the Brazilian rhythm and the psychedelia, amplified by the arrangements and the accurate production, that confer a certain epic tone to the sonority, without losing the characteristic groove. The other single, “Bossa Exploitation”, refers to the anthropophagic research involving African music. It is the result of impromptu sessions that the group held between 2017 and 2018. Integrated by composers, producers, arrangers, beatmakers, musicians, visual artists and inventors, Lavoura makes a cinematic sound, referenced by the rhythm science and inspired by the concepts of phusion (fusion of the 21st century) and psychogeography, transform spaces in sensory experiences).

“Surrender”
Loca Polka, a Magelang based indie pop band formed in 2017 is finnaly releasing their first single “Surrender”.
Nuri Hapsari (Vocal/bass), Mikael Yudi Priamuda (Guitar), Ginanjar Wahyu Aji (Drum), Christian Agung (Guitar) are trying to combine their personal anxiety for always being underestimated, through the best way they can gather it.
“Surrender” is representing that “I don’t give a fuck.” Feeling for all the absurdity for being clowned and underestimated. “There is nothing right and wrong,just let it go, surrender.” Is all they are trying to say.
The releasing of “surrender” is a warm up move for their EP debut released some time soon at the end of this year.
With the animated video lyrics illustrated and edited by the local young artist Ozie Putra, “Surrender is now available on spotify, iTunes, Dezzer and youtube. Enjoy and see you at the gigs!

Lately Kind of Yeah – Sturm und Drang (VULP-0146)
Part of the Lately Kind of Yeah archive series.
Sturm und Drang is a greatly improved and expanded Storm and Urge, originally released on Vulpiano back in 2011. Awash with noise but still so sweet, and perhaps one of the warmest, coziest releases LKOY’s discography.
Words from the artist:
“Marking a start to the singer-songwriter transition, I went away from sequencing synths and into learning how to sing. It was ultimately influenced by relationships and usually from the perspective of ‘me to you’, but its turn-around was that I always sang them to myself. Despite drowning most lyrics in delay and noise, it only mattered if I knew what they were. This was my practice of reminders and rewiring.
There’s always been recordings from each cycle that sang and latched onto other people, giving reason into sharing the music at all, but that did eventually mutate why I liked to record. Once anyone else heard my voice, it wasn’t really mine anymore.”
One of the songs that I don’t quite have the voice for and would want another vocalist to step in and give it the kind of vocals the track seems to need. Nevertheless, it was fun to compose and I delivered the best vocals I could
lyrics:
and try again and again
the lesson plan has always
been locked inside
you knew you’ve been ready
for anytime anywhere
and I surely want to see you there
out of our mind into their heads
we’ll be there with our hidden agendas
stand firm
and brave the smirks that they shoot
their aim is off
they were grumpy since morning
you’re strong and know the secret I know
you won’t have to stay they can be the
ones to go
so much for home advantage
we’ll be there already pouring in love
the love they wanted but never knew
it was always growing among them
all this time
Song #6 in my series of singles released on the Genetic Trance netlabel. When the singles series is finished, I’m thinking of compiling them all into an album
lyrics:
Do you see pictures of people crying?
Do you feel like a feeling all gone flat?
Are you trying? I know how to try
Do you look for pictures of people crying?
Alright let’s go
I’ve got a way for you waiting for you
waiting for you at dawn
and I’ve felt it all before
and I look to see pictures of people crying

These songs were recorded in a 2-day session in the end of May 2014. The bonus track was recorded in fall 2014.
Mastering by Chris McCormack for Blacklisted Mastering, UK.
All songs by DFHK.
A melodic, chaotic, deep and melancholic maxi-single, slow at its beginning but becomes faster and cheerful. Lyrics are just basically phrases they came out with while they played the songs. Distraught shrieking is just a background texture.
This album is a result of bad days as human beings, and some kind of catharsis for all. ‘Santa Rosa de Lima’ is a reminder that life goes on while we are sitting here, waiting for something to happen.

=- I sing a lot in this one.. moreso than in any of my previous releases. Most likely personal reflection reasons. I’m about to turn 39 soon and begin my 40th year of life. Red Zamboni was the second track of this family of songs recorded and I like it so much that I made a music video for it and sent it in to VideoRecords.ch. It’s different than the other four songs in that it didn’t receive any vocals, nevertheless, it’s in the same family as it was created the same way (arranging the chord progressions in chordbot on android then dropping them into renoise on pc where I do the recording, tracking, and rendering) as the other four. So instead of making Red Zamboni its own single and the four remaining songs an ep, I just decided to make it one ep altogether.

Every ice hockey arena needs a zamboni they can count on. And not just count on. One they can spell on too. Life isn’t always about numbers.

TERR110: Boreal soundscape collage accompanied by the lull of balmy guitar. Seamless loop recorded over a week-long residency in Inari, Finland.
“I took part in a media workshop group’s travel to Inari, bringing together different artistic visions in order to gather a multimedia report of the Northern seasonal foliage, and ultimately organize a collective art exhibition. The residency was in a cabin beside Nukkumajoki river and my project in the group was to record the journey photographically and acoustically.
I was mesmerized by Inari’s fjelds, lakes and aurora-filled nights, the pristine flora surrounding Nellim near the Russian border and one particularly important place of interest was Siida Museum; a rich crash course on the indigenous Sámi culture, history and the seriously endangered Inari-Sámi language. To this day, Sámi people keep facing systematic discrimination in many aspects.
The loan word “Kaamos” doesn’t have a literal translation in English despite its unmissable significance in our culture. It could be split into two contexts: firstly the near literal translation “polar night” implying the geographical lack of sunrise, and secondly an associated mental state as a consequence: winter depression. The bane of northeners.
Post-trip, I recorded guitar to fit the field recording collage for a seamless audio installation loop as part of our touring mixed media art exhibition of the same name. The opening in December was at our workshop Vimma, with Turku Main Library to follow later in spring.”
国内外のレーベルから精力的に作品をリリースしているtaura yorihisaによるノイズ・アンビエント作品。アイザック・アシモフの短編作品に着想を得た本作は、極端にエディットされたギターに、環境音とビットクラッシュノイズが絡まり、今までの作品よりもラフでざらついた音像となっている。アンビエント、シューゲイズ、ドローン、ノイズミュージック……来るべき夜へ、ジャンルを越境していく音の旅路。
美しい日常の風景をモノクロに塗ってしまうかの様な空気の音。
今作は込み上げる内省を見ざるを得ない事を世界に写しこむ様な音で、taura氏の音楽はそういう色彩が元より強かったのだが今作はもっと抑えた嗚咽の様な形で発現してる様に感じます。
リスナー体験としては泣き腫らした後の様な穏やかさを感じられる事でしょう。
尚今作は私はイヤフォンよりもスピーカーで聴かれる事を推奨します。
takasi(gravel’s end)
硬質とも言へる音響の芸からは、星が見え始める「あの夕刻」を思ひ出させる。
空の色が滲み、主観的な時間がじつくりと進んでいくあの時空。だが、其れにも終わりは訪れるのである。また次に訪れる朝まで歩かねばならぬのだ。
さふ、夕刻への感傷だけではない。夜明けへの希望も彼の音楽は観させてくれるのである。
Tia Rungray(音楽家)
文字の通りに音の層に包まれる体験．
いかなる場面においてもyorihisa tauraの音楽は程よい緊張とリラックスを生み出してくれます．
ヘッドフォンでも，スピーカーでも．
音に意識を向けながらでも，何か作業しながらでも．
そんな期待のさらに上をゆくニューリリースです．
