Elemental

Demdike Stare, the duo of Miles Whittaker and Sean Canty haunting droning occult dub installment Elemental. Starting as four limited edition vinyl installments on Modern Love, Elemental is pieced together with extended material on a 2xCD. These guys are easily one of my favorite things happening in contemporary electronic music and Elemental only continues to push that barrier with songs sounding straight out of a cult horror film or ancient civilization that you can either drone out or even dance to. Highly recommended, enjoy!

Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light II

The second installment for Earth under the Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light title. Similar to its predecessor recorded in the same sessions, II demonstrates more continuous folky riff patterns from Dylan Carlson with a beautiful cello backing by Lori Goldston, which in my opinion is the backbone of the record. This has the best flow of the two records and though it is melodic and slow, I still catch my head banging slightly. Enjoy!

"Lund Quartet are an instrumental band from Bristol, playing a mix of scandinavian jazz and melodic turntablism. The use of the turntable as a lead instrument gives Lund Quartet an especially distinctive sound, using samples recorded especially for the band by some of Bristol’s finest musicians." Eerie Scandinavian jazz with an element of Bristol hip hop, very interesting. Enjoy! Worth the $5 dollar purchase on itunes.

Vantaa

Of late, I have been dabbling in more and more electronic music, where much can be very hit or miss, Finnish artist Vladislav Delay's 2011 release Vantaa on Raster-Noton has taken me back. Minimal, yet complex, glitch techno soundscapes moving between heavy and soft beats, creates a truly natural atmospheric album.

"Vantaa‘s style is sensitive and intelligent, but nevertheless subtly stirring and rich in detail. While listening to it, it is possible to completely dive into its matter and detect something new in nearly every bar, or simply let it have an effect as a particular but unobtrusive sideline. With this typical Vladislav Delay aesthetic, Ripatti has acquired an unique and distinctive style that Vantaa, his 10th Vladislav Delay album, deservingly celebrates"

Enjoy!
