vinyl confessions & her friends

Laurel Halo - Carcass (Sun Hammer Remix)

“The resulting remix of ‘Carcass’ opens with waves of static, a blank canvas slowly being torn apart to reveal a lens-flared horizon that appears endless – until that bassline hits.”

Yep, that about says it all. Glorious.

Grab it over at FACT.

Erika Spring - Happy At Your Gate (Courtship Remix)

Taking the almost-club-groove vibe of the original & turning it into something sparse, something more on the side of drug-induced ambiance… 

Diggin’ it.

Azealia Banks - Luxury

Good morning, cool cats.

First off, name of band? Brilliant.

Second, this song is kick-ass. Perfect 90’s sound of, yes, as yvynyl points out, Sleater-Kinney &, to my ears, a wee bit of Lush as well.

Yum!

Bleeding Rainbow - Pink Ruff

I first heard this album, pre-mastered, while cruising around with the windows down on a muggy summer evening with my friend Dryw (who manages the band) on the way to see Radiohead. Fitting. It’s a long way from their previous efforts - couple Rob + Sarah added new band members, Al + Greg, and went from ultra-lo-fi & noisy slap-snare garage songs to beautifully heavy 90’s throwback shoegaze sound that sounds as My Bloody Valentine as it does Sleater-Kinney.

Don’t miss their excellent forthcoming Yeah Right LP from Kanine Records out on October 9th.

Queen Bitch - David Bowie

Diggin’ your soundtrack tonight, accol.

Love it, like always. Such a Monster Rally fan.

‘Strange Creeper’ by Monster Rally

The problem with Monster Rally and his haunting, Joe Meekian tape loops is that he so often paints himself into endlessly reciprocating tight corners, with not much thought for graceful exits or branching paths. The central Monster Rally ethos maintains that each track consists of just one phrase, or movement, that forever replicates itself in much the same manner as a broken record. This formal rigidity and lack of direction leaves a lot of his music with no choice other than to simply dissipate after a few minutes; rarely pushing the three minute mark in most cases. That may be why something like the heavily-segmented ‘Strange Creeper’ succeeds, as it feels a lot more proportionally suited to the drifterly, impermanent pace that Ted Feighan obsesses over. Essentially four regular sized Monster Rally songs cut into one five minute one, it retains all of his jilted, cinematic terror, anxiety and beauty, but in a much more efficient package.

Iggy Pop - Nightclubbing

This. Song.

Bear In Heaven - Kiss Me Crazy

timing is a blurry word
never ever understood
we could fret until the end
or fluoresce in trouble’s hand

so

go ahead and drive me crazy 

PAPERCUTZ - Where the Beasts Die (Kyson Remix)

Gorgeous & otherworldly.

Prefix calls it ‘chilling’ but I hear something else in this remix… I hear travel at the speed of light.

Epic.
