King Elizabeth – Young Bloods / Beasts EP [2020]

King Elizabeth – Young Bloods / Beasts EP [2020]

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

Me In The Bath – Last Before Jura

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.

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. Remember… everything we release is cool to share! Always keep the music moving… share it… blog it… podcast it! If you’re in radio… support independent music and broadcast it!

King Elizabeth – This is Not My Church

King Elizabeth – This is Not My Church
[VULP-0169]

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”.

Louis Lingg & The Bombs – NXL136 Live At L’AJB

Louis Lingg & The Bombs – NXL136 Live At L'AJB

Louis Lingg & The Bombs

“NXL136 Live At L’AJB”

This is a live performance recorded on 25th november, 2017 at l’AJB Centre culturel Marcel Pagnol in a small french town called Bures Sur Yvette. We played with Pogo Car Crash Control (who are a big band here in France who play festivals like Hellfest and stuff like that) and Toybloid (who are another big band here in France that play big concerts with big bands and stuff.) So it was a pretty exciting event for everyone!

The songs are presented in the order we played them warts and all!

Even after playing over 250 concerts, we’re still not 100% used to big stages, stage monitors and bright lights so it was a bit of an experience for us. The audience was great and people were really enthusiastic. All in all it was a great experience.

Bures sur Yvette is a tiny french town but a suprisingly large amount of cool bands that have rocked the french underground come from there. That’s why the french punk band, Les Dead Boobs, named the town, “The Capital of Punk!”

I recently found the USB key with the concert on and told myself “hey, dude! You gotta mix that shit and put it out!” So I did.

Come see us play in a small bar. That’s the best venue for rock! Big halls are too damn weird! But this album is a cool part of our history! Enjoy!

big blood – Do You Wanna Have A Skeleton Dream?

big blood – Do You Wanna Have A Skeleton Dream?

big blood

“Do You Wanna Have A Skeleton Dream?”

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!

DonPepego is coming back with new LP called “Terra Aberra”. As the Artist says: “DonPepego is music performed on a one square metre surface, where a plump singer/songwriter bends among his guitars (acoustic + electric) and keyboard, mostly late in the evening, which has a significant impact on the sound of the songs”.

King Elizabeth – The Awakening

King Elizabeth – The Awakening
[VULP-0162]

King Elizabeth

“The Awakening”

King Elizabeth – The Awakening (VULP-0162)

Picking up from where King Elizabeth left off in 2012 with Miami, The Awakening contains all of the mesmerizing synth hooks and passionate vocal lines you’d hope for. The sultry “Mother” and churning title track “The Awakening” are among my favorites in this dark gleam of brilliance — 7 years in the making! — that Vulpiano Records is delighted to present.

Words from the artist:

It’s been a long journey to get to this point with many songs being written and recorded but never feeling right for the time. A lot of songs were scrapped and others placed on the back burner to come back to with fresh ears. Maybe it was a quest for perfection when perfection doesn’t exist, or just falling out of love with the songs at the time! It’s all contributed to the 7 years it’s taken to complete this record.

I had a new experience with writing and recording songs for this album. I usually have a vision for the album with the songs interconnected in some way. This time, I was just writing one song at a time—the ideas were for the individual songs, I had no greater vision. I had the lyrics and the music in my mind for that song and that song only at the time, then I’d move onto the next.

Over time I realised that the songs that stood out for me fitted together as well as any other album I’ve ever made—if not better. The beauty of this is that each song can really hold its own and doesn’t need a ‘before’ song or an ‘after’ song. The process was lengthy, but then when they all did come together it was an awakening. I hope this album awakens something inside everyone who kindly takes the time to listen to it.

George Christian – Longes

George Christian – Longes
[mhrk235]

George Christian

“Longes”

“This album is the first work I’ve done in 2019 and also part of a series of instrumental works that reflect upon absence in different ways, in a pentalogy. All of them expresses what I felt after the latest political misfortunes in my country (Brazil) and overall social-political state of mind in the world. In “Insomniac Dreams” – the absence of rest and sleep to convey life in its existence. In “Antimanicomial” – the absence of sanity in its helplessness in a political system that doesn’t give a care. In “Duets for Balogh” – the absence of a friend, despite his presence in sound conversations. In “Cinzas” – the absence of care on nature, a mourn for dead rivers. And this, “Longes” is about absence of faith. However, there is no particular order, nor any sound similarities for this pentalogy, despite being linked thematically. “Insomniac Dreams” was the first published one, but “Longes” was the one recorded first, with later-on finalizations.

”Longes” is my second work in which I play electric guitar (a Telecaster) as a main instrument (first one was “Electric Ramblings” (2014) in most of the tracks). It was conceived as a series of variations on the final motif from the coda of the song “Muito Mais Longe do que o Bastante”, which was originally recorded for the album “La Géographie sans Regret” (2012), made in collaboration with Mehata Sentimental Legend. In this album, I explore on electric guitar both timbral and electronic experimentations whereas the themes are extended without regard on time and space, despite having their own implicit structure. Apart from the last track (X), the pieces were all improvised in their performances. Somehow, it’s a spiritual manifesto on struggling for survival, in electric mantras; against all odds, a life-affirming statement.”
