The ever-amazing catalog of Attenuation Circuit Records out of Germany continues to expand. Their latest, a collaboration between Sonologyst & Kshatriy, is a wonderful blend of ritualistic music and black ambient. Perfect listening with coffee (black, naturally).

[Music] Pan Sonic – Rutina
Finland’s Pan Sonic break out an ultra-minimalist beat that reminds me of a some fine drumming.

[Music] the stargazer lilies — the sunday experience
Stumbled across this via an interesting mid-season round up by the shoegazer alive 9 site. Of course you’ve no need for me telling you that the Stargazer Lilies are a much loved distraction around these parts given we’ve featured them on occasion. However, I’m suspecting we’ve an unread email / press release somewhere because as […]
[Music] Woodkid & Nils Frahm ~ Ellis — a closer listen
Today is America’s Independence Day, and Ellis arrives just in time: a calm yet firm reminder that the great nation still has a long way to go in order to achieve its goals. The short film (directed by France’s JR) and score (with narration by Robert DeNiro) remind viewers and listeners of the nation’s highest aspirations and deepest […]
[Music] Flying Hórses – Tölt
https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=13310399/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/package=4294530313/transparent=true/
Flying Hórses are one of those bands who give me hope that post-rock will continue to grow, mutate and keep developing wonderful strains in their genre. This Canadian troupe had help from the likes of Nicolas Petrowsky (Godspeed You! Black Emperor) who mixed this album, and Birgir Jón Birgisson of Sigur Rós, who mastered it.

[Music] AMN Reviews: Merzbow / Keiji Haino / Balazs Pandi – An Untroublesome Defencelessness (2016; RareNoiseRecords) — Avant Music News
There is something about the combination of noise-maven Merzbow and drummer extraordinaire Pandi that can do no wrong. They have teamed previously with Mats Gustafsson (2013’s Cuts) as well as the combination of Gustafsson and Thurston Moore (2015’s Cuts of Guilt, Cuts Deeper). This latest effort includes Keiji Haino, whose dark guitar soundscapes have evoked nightmares […]

Kieslowski, a wonderful indie rock band out of Prague in the Czech Republic, have a new single out. Our friends at Indies Scope have released another gem.
