The novelty from DarkStar, the long-playing recording of the Morning group, the collection of early Dam-Funk works, the long-awaited Warpain debut and other albums of the week
![]() PitchFork: Fact: | Darkstar North The first pop plate from the progressive Hyberdub label The first published tracks with North, to put it mildly, surprised the old fans of the group: Darkstar, one of the main artists of the Hyperdub label, the authors of outstanding post-Dabstep singles suddenly played Sint-Pop with a living vocal. “Remix on Radiohead is now even closer than our first tracks,” the musicians said then in an interview. As if in confirmation of these words, the first single with “North” was the cover for the song Human League Gold. From the former passion for Dabstep on the album, only the Hit “Aidy's Girl is a Computer” and the characteristic work with rhythms in several tracks remained, the rest is a cold, stabbing pop with notes of IDM and the melodism of the “new romantics” of the eighties. The record divided fans into two irreconcilable camps: some are delighted, others note that they would be happy to hear the other album with the sound of the early singles of the group before North. |
![]() The Line of Best Fit: | Warpain The Fool The long-awaited debut of a girl's rock band with a taste of haze It took six years to be six years to release its first album-so much time has passed from the moment the “The Fool” on the legendary Roun Trade was released. You can’t call this time unforgivably missed: the girls not only got into the eyes of the children with the aforementioned label and critics, but also earned the confidence of Susie Sue and the producer Liars and Karen O Tom Birrel - he eventually worked on The Fool. As soon as the record was leaked into the network, the girls immediately laid it on several sites for free listening, adding that it is better to listen to the “The Fool” with a jealous jamb: “We are counting on you”. The condition is completely not mandatory, because in “The Fool” so much space and psychedelia are hidden as other stoner-rockers did not dream of in the most pipe dreams. |
![]() | Morning MORNING The other, dark side of the Motorama group The Morning project is entirely consisting of participants in the Rostov Motorama team, who have already distinguished themselves this year by the successful Alps album. Such a circumstance is the only thing that connects two projects among themselves: “Morning” is much more gloomy and sometimes even aggressive as an aggressive. Egor Letov and Wire, Cinema and Birthday Party get along here. The group released its debit album, in a quiet laying out the record on its website . True, in order to find it there, you will have to delve into a confusing network from the pictures-lits; To exclude possible tips, the musicians now and then change his whereabouts. In case of success, you run the risk of hearing one of the most convincing records of the domestic post-punk. Fat bass, organ and surf guitars are used, apathetic vocals now and then breaks into a scream, and the texts in Russian organically fall on a swinging rhythm-section. And soon the album will be released on a physical medium on the label "Wednesday" by journalist Alexander Gorbachev. |
![]() | A Sunny Day in Glasgow Autumn, Again New plate of American shoheaz project |
In fact, A Sunny Day in Glasgow has nothing to do with a glorious Scottish city-the only participant in Anglo-Saxon origin left the project at the very beginning. In the circles of fans of modern buzzing and drunken guitar music, ASDIG has already gained almost cultural status, but it is rarely possible to hear loud words in their address outside thematic blogs and communities. This, in general, is understandable: they play strictly for lovers of Dream Pop and on “Autumn, Again” as before, the My Bloody Valentine with electronic lotions beat, filling the gaps with an empire. It is also worth noting a special dramaturgy to the tracklist: the topic “Moments on the Lawn” smoothly flowed into “Bukho, Bukhau, Buhoy”.

After that, the musician even promised to call in Moscow, but then the Icelandic volcano noisy crossed out all the plans of the eminent funkster. In half a year, the “Adolescent Funk”, which was coming, is essentially not a new album-this is an overview of what Dam-Funk began-digitalization of cassettes with the first records of the producer of the late eighties.
![]() | Zola JesusValusia New Minimalb Nicky Danilova, now with musicians |
We have repeatedly written about the American singer with the Slavic roots of Zola Jesus, all the more there are more than enough reasons - records with her participation come out almost every month. The new miniial of Valusia, as already reported, was recorded with the new Living Group Danilova, which the singer gained from acquaintances ready and metallists. If earlier her voice was supplemented by a simple phonogram played on a couple of synths, now Danilova can afford a real Power Pop-Sound, where there are even more string and appropriate pathos.
