King Elizabeth – A State of Mind

King Elizabeth – A State of Mind

King Elizabeth

“A State of Mind”

Following on from his Young Bloods / Beasts EP earlier this month, King Elizabeth is back again with his third LP of the year: A State of Mind. King Elizabeth continues his astonishingly eclectic journey into the nexus of synth music and alternative rock, now with a decidedly neo-psychedelic bent often rooted in a legacy of alternative dance fusions: hazy dirges, ambient techno workouts, hypnotic loops, even transatlantic electro-industrial sounds. Part of the album’s charm is how often it throws the listener despite being a heavily nostalgic evocation of a decade. My pick for stand-out track is the invigorating rhythms of “It’s Polarity”.

Words from the artist:

The inspiration behind the album is the power of the mind and the affects it can have on us.

We all have feelings and thoughts about everything and anything and we can be affected by them in many different ways. We need to remember its the world that’s crazy not us.

As always thank you for listening

~King Elizabeth

PIRATE Tapes – Cosmic Hobos Cult

PIRATE Tapes – Cosmic Hobos Cult
[LCNLP111]

PIRATE Tapes

“Cosmic Hobos Cult”

Cosmic Hobos Cult is above all another page in the logbook of our improvised sound adventures. In a world under control, rigid, where everything obeys objectives, preaching the flexibility of vagrancy seems really saving. Not trying to please is obviously an act of resistance. From Kerouac to Kaufman, from Henry David Thoreau to Eden Ahbez, wandering leads to transcendence. Taming the silence. Free yourself from certainties. The spirituality of experience emerges through encounters, communion with wild nature, revelations of extreme states. The realization that you can just be alive. That it makes no sense to worry about appearing when the mind can break through like the celestial tramps.

These songs are too long for those who don’t want to like them, without values ​​for those who want to miss them. Yet those who will not be put off by the filth and take this road far from the information superhighways … are already walking by our side.

Recorded at the Cave Haven Sunday 6th September 2020.
A musical dive into the celestial tramps poetry…
Thanks to Kerouac and all the Beat Generation for the inspiration.
This is improvised music… so we do not remove anything, that mean this isn’t formated for mainstream listeners… this is freewave.

King Elizabeth

“Young Bloods / Beasts EP [2020]”

2020 has been a prolific year for King Elizabeth, already releasing two LPs on Vulpiano (This is Not My Church and The Awakening) with a new one coming soon: A State of Mind. Double A side single Young Bloods / Beasts leads the way as a taste of what’s to come with his signature synthy rock style.

Words from the artist:

New album ‘A State of Mind’ on the way shortly and as always I like to release a single first, this time it felt right to release a double A side single-“Young Bloods” & “Beasts”, with one being at a time of our youth and the other being a journey in adulthood.

Me In The Bath

“Last Before Jura”

This time, with guests, Me In The Bath recorded an acoustic album in full improvisation, in a busy afternoon of April 2018. Then, drums were patiently added during the two next years, for a release that looks toward Velvet Underground, somewhere between alternative acoustic rock and artrock, punk and poppunk.

Die Leere im Kern deiner Hoffnung – Es ist schwer ein Gott zu sein

Die Leere im Kern deiner Hoffnung – Es ist schwer ein Gott zu sein
[Wuerfel28]

Die Leere im Kern deiner Hoffnung

“Es ist schwer ein Gott zu sein”

The title of the album refers of course to the novel by the Strugatzki brothers. But it is also the expression of the desperate realisation that the world is probably unsavable. The problems are obvious, everybody knows everything, but nobody is willing to do anything.

We oscillate faster and faster between hysteria and agony, blind actionism and panic. And again and again we get fast and easy answers to complex questions with the certainty of a placebo.

Clicktivism as a digital balm for the poor afflicted souls. The mistaken belief that you can save the world through your consumerism.

We dream of electric sheep.
Technomagic thinking.
The illusion of freedom.
Welcome to the age of transfiguration.

We rather bear those ills we have than fight them.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims.

Vietnam II

“Suspect Citizen”

Barely four months after the release of I Wouldn’t Want To Disappoint You By Not Disappointing You, Vietnam II return with the incredible Suspect Citizen! Thirteen highly moody and addictive post-surf/indie-rock songs packed with razor-sharp social commentary about all that’s been happening around us here in the United States since the last album was released. Suspect citizens… download it and enjoy.

Jamarr and Eddie, thank you both for another terrific album! I don’t know how you guys can be so prolific while also turning out such addictive and thought provoking music.

Danke Sun – Bandeja de plata

Danke Sun – Bandeja de plata
[BSMX0191]

Danke Sun

“Bandeja de plata”

Today we’re happy to present to you the debut single from Danke Sun, a spanish alternative-rock band formed by Jordi Bohigues and Javier Peiró, both members of Daily Khaos delivery (DKd). The name of Danke Sun came about as an attempt to shorten their band name into something more simple and catchy. The project kicked off at the end of 2016 and lyrically brought the band back to their origins, writing songs in their mother tongue.

As Danke Sun, they continue making music in the same ways they did with Daily Khaos delivery and their side-project Deadlines, but with a bigger influence coming from eighties pop-rock bands that were big in Spain.

It was back in 2016 that we last heard from Jordie and Javier, with the release of their album Lose Your Ways and singles. We’re thrilled to have them back with this, the first of three singles.

Bandeja de plata contains the addictive title track, a great exclusive non-album B-Side called Corporative and a couple great remixes… one by OWTRIPLEBANG and the other by yours truly, mGee (which is the first thing I’ve done musically since 2016).

So, enjoy this taste of what’s to come. In two weeks, on July 3rd, we drop the album Aquí hay una araña.

Jordi and Javier, thank you both for coming to blocSonic with your new project! It’s always great to help turn fans on to your music!

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.

King Elizabeth

“This is Not My Church”

Following from a surprise return to Vulpiano Records after a 7 year departure with The Awakening earlier in 2020, King Elizabeth is back again in short order with This is Not My Church, traversing a variety of moods and styles through incredible song craft and energy. As always, highlighting a favorite is a challenge, but my vote goes to the sultry grit of “A Mighty Man”.
