Emotional Planet by Robust Worlds

Robust Worlds

Emotional Planet
Destijl

***The debut album by CHRIS ROSE is deceptively simple and way more lysergic than Kevin Ayers, utilizing the sort of neo-noir narratives that you expect to hear from Neil Michael Hagerty, James Jackson Toth, Kurt Vile and other keen observers. Voice, guitar, some noisy shit, whatever. His playing is sick -- fluid, unforced, warm, soothed and soothing. It’s a bath you don’t want to exit.

***Having rattled the hinges with last year’s In the Blink of an Eye 7-inch, C S YEH flings open the door and steps inside. The startling songs on Transitions flit between sculpted guitar riffs and measured, just-shy-of-lush synth-pop with wry lyrics delivered in guileless tones. Ardent fans will have little trouble understanding the move away from handsomely carved drones or speckled and serrated noise; Transitions is simply a different form of Yeh’s unmediated expression, of a spirit with Slapp Happy, but which wouldn’t sound out of place on a Magnetic Fields record.

Spill Into Atmosphere by Wet Hair

Spill Into Atmosphere
Destijl

***The freshest whitecap in WET HAIR’s upward crashing wave swirls with lighter-than-air energy, born aloft on propellers of foam yet anchored to Earth with thunder-clap rhythms and SHAWN REED’s heady bellow. This Iowa City-based duo-cum-trio’s discography includes shared releases with Rene Hell, Naked on the Vague and Peaking Lights; on their second full length for De Stijl, Reed and drummer RYAN GARBES are joined by JUSTIN TYE, whose unique, melodic signature flies in formation but also peels off into flights that relate to the silk wheels of the synths, compliment them, guide them, support and distort and report to them.

***In service to TASHI WADA’s ongoing work with sound perception as a basis for direct modes of listening, he and Marc Sabat produce two sustained tones, a fourth apart, positioned along a wall, one at each end—a very slow glissando from one pitch to the other while moving accordingly. In other words, the string players' physical locations in space correspond with pitches of the sounds. One of his adapted violas of Harry Partch, who often worked with this type of harmony, was used for the recording of Gradient. The result is a sculpture-like presence shifting through all the blue notes.

***Since the late ‘70s, while in the widely neglected 39 CLOCKS, JUERGEN GLEUE made records that never sold and played gigs that few ever saw. Though an important exponent of PHANTOM PAYN DAYS LP made in the mid-to-late ‘90s has never been released. It's Gleue's final LP and overflows with all the elements that romanticized, loner / stoner music claims, an encoded expression of highly private feelings, an ambiguous, emotional quotient, and a dark, murkily melodic vibe.

***PENS are three girls who take an old-school approach to a hum and riff and add their own who-gives-a-fuck, homemade panache. Tuck yourself into bed with some warm milk and cookies and throw this new platter in repeat mode. Nighty night!

***Before MICHAEL YONKERS revised the history of recorded music with the clarion chords of Microminiature Love, he was in MICHAEL AND THE MUMBLES, who made this self-titled LP in 1966—a naive, teenage trip through garage band moves typical of the era at first glance, but repeated listening reveals a darkness beneath the crisp, winsome visage. Same characteristics that make Micro the singularly original piece that is (just slightly less visible is all): emotionally bleak themes, dissonant undercurrents, and recklessly wild performances. So, once again, a Michael Yonkers LP is going to turn the world upside down, make the college girls scream and leave you to wonder how many more times this can happen. Vinyl only, with a digital download coupon, made from 45-year-old master tapes that, aside from a glitch on "Cold Town," sound amazing.

***NOW AVAILABLE ON CD!!! Intergenerational discomfort rock performed together by two free-sound conglomerates—the sprawling Portland, Oregon-based LAFMS progenitors SMEGMA, and the more compact WOLF EYES. With cover art depicting crop circles, alien grave rubbings and cryptographs, and group portrait inside resembling a family reunion snapshot you might find at a thrift store, The Beast merges RICHARD MELTZER's nasal meander, reptilian pulsations, exploratory tweakadelica, outsider improv, toys, devices, and electronic noises. Proof that old weird America is far from obsolete and more than capable of frying the fiendly skies.
