Kevin Drumm - "Imperial Distortion" (2008)

Artist: Kevin Drumm

Album: Imperial Distortion
Label: Hospital Productions
Year: 2008
Genre: Dark Ambient/Drone

01 - Guillain-Barre
02 - More Blood and Guts

03 - Snow
04 - Snow
05 - Romantic Sores
06 - We All Get It In the End

Imperial Distortion may not signal a wholesale shift in aesthetic, but it's safe to say that it features a side of Drumm rarely heard before now (though, to be fair, "Snow," a two-parter, made an appearance on a limited edition cassette on Hospital last year). The album is heavy on drone, but the drone isn't always heavy. Much of "More Blood and Guts" drifts by in celestial bliss, and "Romantic Sores" even dispels with the drone to close with a beautiful mingling of bell-like synth tones. Drumm doesn't opt for the simple and overbearing, instead working in a more subtle integration of multiple voices, with careful listening revealing that there's often more at work in a track than the ear might initially notice. Each has a particular timbre that tends to dominate its trajectory, but Drumm isn't content to simply put his creations in motion and watch from afar. Climates shift, tones grow and ebb, and voices intermingle: Imperial Distortion might be minimalist, but like any good drone, that doesn't mean it's stagnant.

Doktor Kettu - I Really Like Diamonds

Artist: Doktor Kettu

Album: I Really Like Diamonds
Label: limited self pressed CD-R
Year: 2003
Genre: Psych - Drone

1. I Really Like Diamonds / Severed Minds

via fakejazz.com - If one release is a stand-out, it is I Really Like Diamonds, the only disc to feature only one song, the 43 minute "Severed Minds," which brings to mind early Stars of the Lid or the spacier side of Acid Mothers Temple. The song is a big, menacing maelstrom of sound, casting long dark shadows across the room from the speakers.

Pep Laguarda & Tapineria - Brossa d'ahir

Artist: Pep Laguarda & Tapineria

Album: Brossa d'ahir
Label: Discmedi Blau
Year: 1976
Genre: Spanish Acid Folk

1. Alceu-vos, xe, que ja es de dia
2. Cims i abismes
3. Caseta del plater
4. Una Paura
5. Milanta anys-llum blues
6. Balada de l angel bru

Via Aquarius Records: Wow! What a dreamy Spanish psych-folk gem this is! A gorgeous sonic gem from the late 70's only making it to our eager ears nearly 30 years later. Turns out this is the only album that Pep Laguarda released, but what a timeless record left for future generations to enjoy. With production and assistance from Daevid Allen of Gong and Soft Machine, Brossa d'Ahir is the kind of record you put on and then just drift away and get lost with. So breezy and well crafted, these are songs designed for long daydreams, windows down as the wind comes rushing in and the scenery breezes by. Pep Laguarda & Tapineria is reminding us of the Chilean cosmic psych-folk of Congregacion, the tender touch of Caetano Veloso and the sprawling beauty of Neil Young albums like On The Beach or Comes A Time. We can imagine that if they aren't already, current day folks like Brightblack Morning Light, Devendra Banhart, Will Oldham and Vetiver would be drooling over the beautiful melodies and flowing ambience of this three decade old document of psych-folk perfection! buy it
