*2024 stock* "Blanche Lafuente, Jeanne Guien, Nina Garcia, Thomas Dunoyer de Segonzac: no noise quartet post no post no wave no punk post noise post mama post everything: French chanson... A crawling bass, shredding drums, a lacerating scalpel-guitar, hijacked tape loops, bits of agit-pop poetry carried by chanted, melodramatic vocals." - le non_jazz

*2024 stock* Dwarf Lift Dwarf is a two-headed cerberus with crumpled masks of celestial rascals. His chirps sound like the call of a freshly deconditioned post-Hawaiian pizza. One mouthful leading to another, creepers and castrated quarterbacks arch perilously over putrid swamps where the spoils of a lucid duty-free tourist languish.
The intentions are clear: to emerge virtuous from the winter of 2020, accompanied by the priest of priests Flavio Bagnasco le Cremovo, aka Cremyeuse, on the double-…
Decay Music n.8: I Hate All the Words
“I hate all the words” by Luca Scarabelli and Michele Lombardelli’s Untitled Noise, the eight instalments in the celebrated Die Schachtel’s “Decay music” series, is a concept album composed of three tracks designed to explore the remote and hidden depths of psyche: Misery, the awareness; The Time, the suspension of disbelief; and Heaven, the existential atonement through detachment. The sounds and the voice proceed alternately, overlapping, where each, in its progression, asserts itself autonomo…

Automatic Popular Music
Inside Automatic Popular Music there are two people sitting in a room, their backs to each other. One plays a piano with no particular attention to detail and tuning of the instrument, and another, sitting behind him, claps his hands on his own legs. They do not see each other, they never look at each other, they can only listen to each other, look around. The room is large enough, it is daytime, there are four windows through which enough light enters to illuminate the objects and furniture wit…

The second part of Matador’s reissues of the essential early records by Texas’s Butthole Surfers continues with three of their most insane slabs -- 1985’s ‘Cream Corn from the Socket of Davis,’ 1987’s ‘Locust Abortion Technician’ and 1988’s ‘Hairway to Steven.’ The period during which these records were first issued parallels the Buttholes’ transition from being weirdo Texas outcasts to becoming internationally recognized smut-kings of the American underground.
