Daily Yinz – FADE TO PHARAOH & LONGRANGER – Shell

A psychedelic new release from the always-fascinating Astral Research collection. Astral Research releases often feel fossilized, like they were unearthed, weathered but fully intact, from an archeological dig site. FADE TO PHARAOH and LONGRANGER's self-titled joint venture contains four pieces that play out like traces of songs, engravings etched into moisture-rusted metal plates. Closing track … Continue reading Daily Yinz – FADE TO PHARAOH & LONGRANGER – Shell →

Daily Yinz – Derek Bendel / Dylan Zeh – Turbine

The two musicians collaborated on a series of bass-and-sax improvisations. Saxophonist Derek Bendel and double bassist Dylan Zeh found themselves so inspired by their chemistry on a Sam Rivers tribute album (the jazz musician, not the Limp Bizkit bassist) that they recorded this self-titled collection directly afterward, sans discussion or direction. The result is a … Continue reading Daily Yinz – Derek Bendel / Dylan Zeh – Turbine →

Daily Yinz – RAZORBLADE – HELLRAZOR

The thrashy punk trio recently released a split with Indiana's Thlurm. "HELLRAZOR" shares certain aspects with the similarly-titled film, a gore-fest full of chains, knives, and strange metal contraptions. Both deploy grimy atmospheres and pained shouts, and the song's guitar solo is gnarly enough that you could picture it being played by a Cenobite with … Continue reading Daily Yinz – RAZORBLADE – HELLRAZOR →

Daily Yinz – Oscar Celedon – pink pushpop

The electronic artist's new album is Spectrum of Perception, Vol. 1. You might expect a track called "pink pushpop" to be full of summery synth pads and sugar-spun melodies, but that's not the case here. A percussive heartbeat skips along like it's powering a body in flight from some shadowy pursuer. Grating horn blasts and … Continue reading Daily Yinz – Oscar Celedon – pink pushpop →

Daily Yinz – Fisherman’s Paradise – Coming up

For You is another collection of scruffy goodness. It's hard to write a song, especially a good song, one that feels natural, one that sticks in the head and comes out hours later as an absentminded hum. But the guys in Fisherman's Paradise make it sound easy. For You, the trio's fourth release in two … Continue reading Daily Yinz – Fisherman’s Paradise – Coming up →

Daily Yinz – TELESTIALVISION – Taurus in a Field

The experimental duo's debut tape is Taurus in a Field (Island House Recordings). The tape's title track is a seventeen-and-a-half minute swell built around wind-chimey guitar sprigs and drones that warm as gently as sunbeams rising over a knoll. Sighs pitched halfway between breeze and sea spray carry along little electronic flutters; as-yet-undiscovered insect species … Continue reading Daily Yinz – TELESTIALVISION – Taurus in a Field →

Daily Yinz – Scrum Force – Scrumantha

A bleary-eyed ode to a mannequin head. I love a silly name. Some of my favorite books feature characters dubbed Pig Bodine, Captain Aardvark, U.S.S. Millicent Kent, and Nurse Waddams, and when I write fiction I try to give characters the most obnoxious and grating monikers possible. Just reading the title of "Scrumantha," the new … Continue reading Daily Yinz – Scrum Force – Scrumantha →
