Noise label run by the artist New Grasping Machina. Every release is super interesting. Highly recommend Sound Diary by NBDY from their latest batch of releases, it’s my kinda noise
Idk, I’m just tired of pop music girlies and need to listen to TV static, artful feedback, distorted drones, dissonant layers.
Kim Gordon’s SYR5, Glenn Branca’s The Ascension, Black Dice’s Broken Ear Record. Am I crazy for loving this?
Everything on Ghost Box records evokes the weird & eerie folk horror-infused atmosphere I love. I’m also obsessed with songs that feature someone straight up talking or reading over music, so this is checking every box for me at the moment. I’m also trying to make stuff like this myself rn and finding inspiration in their catalog, so I‘m shuffling through their stuff and Advisory Circle and Pye Cornet Audio et al, all wonderful.
OTTO - Clam Day, so damn punchy and snappy. almost mixed too present but just perfect in execution
Rustie - EVENIFYOUDONTBELIEVE, if you like drums that are distorted to the point of saturation and hit hard enough to snap your neck this is for you
Reso - Tabris, the drum programming on the tracks Tabris and Axion still blow my mind. it sounds like a drum kit thrown into a particle collider
Burial - Burial, drums so swung and off kilter they shouldn’t work. Broken Home and U Hurt Me especially
Flying Lotus - You’re Dead!, varies between maximalist freestyle jazz drumming and sleek stripped back beats
extremely comforting to have a social media platform where the prevailing emotion is love and enthusiasm, wonderful to see everything my friends love and wonderful to express the love in my heart to like-minded souls
Especially the album Microphones in 2020. The kind of music that makes me feel like no matter what I do my art will be worth it all (which is on average true) and that it will always be a part of my life (alongside the sentiment that, just by surviving, I am creating art)
