Bajascillators
Bajascillators (heavyweight vinyl 2xLP)
Cat: DC 781. Rel: 01 Sep 22
 
Balearic/Downtempo
Amorpha (9:37)
Geomancy (14:25)
World B Free (11:40)
Quakenbruck (10:39)
Review: Four new amorphous cuts from Bitchin Bajas, a Chicagoan trio active since 2010, and operating in the circle of freeform, longform, largely formless improv electronica. A staple of the North American music circuit, their live show is a mammoth operation involving tapes and guitars, and their music sounds something akin to what would happen if Terry Riley's Buddha on the front cover of 'Shri Camel' were given an extra bionic limb. 'Amorpha', 'Geomancy', 'World B. Free' and 'Quakenbruck' are rhythmic, humble forways through 'waves', 'phases', 'stratospheric arcs' and whatnot, leading to a fantastical musical enlightenment.

Review: Bill Callahan is an adventuring sonic explorer who is happy to traverse a number of different worlds. He makes music that can be at times jarring and challenging and at others much more beautiful and soothing. He pairs off the magic of late night dreams with the harshness of the realities of life and all with plenty of musicianship and absorbing guitar skills. This album YTILAER follows others such as Gold Record, Shepherd In A SKeekskin Vest and Woke On A Whaleheart and brings all new influences to folk and Americana.

She Is My Everything (feat Sir Richard Bishop) (4:48)
Review: It's October 2020 and two Bills decide to do a cover version of the 1967 Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) protest track 'Blackness of the Night'. A fitting choice given at the time the world was stuck in a strange recurring nightmare, defined by confusion, isolation, and pessimism, the track was not only appropriate, it was wonderfully re-read by the artists bringing it into the present day.

And they didn't stop there. Soon, there were more new versions of old greats coming from the pair, and the smart money was always on an album arriving at some point in the future. Well, that point is now, and finally we have it. Better yet, this is every bit as lovely as we could have hoped. Combining elements of pop, folk, blues, country, gospel, and rock, it's accomplished, sophisticated, and hugely enjoyable.

The Dream My Bones Dream
Cat: DC 727. Rel: 16 Nov 18
 
Indie/Alternative
Prologue: Hands On The Mouth (5:14)
Agloe (5:51)
Iron Veil (5:14)

The Dream My Bones Dream (4:28)
Tunnels To Nowhere (3:40)
To The East (3:55)
Epilogue: Innisfree (4:28)
Review: There's something uniquely Japanese and slightly off-kilter about the pop-making prowess of Eiko Ishibashi, a singer-songwriter, improvisational drummer, pianist and all-round experimentalist that counts Editions Mego and Oren Ambarchi's Black Truffle as labels she has released on. She returns to Drag City, an all time Chicago label famous for records by Pavement and Stereolab to more recently music from Ty Segall and the all-talented John Mulaney. Ishibashi's music here, however, sways from heavy industrial beats to future, funky and avant pop numbers like "Iron Veil". It's a record that will take some getting used to but there's no denying you will get used to it too; if you can keep up with its modernity that comes from way out leftfield.

Mind Maintenance
Mind Maintenance (LP in spot varnished sleeve)
Cat: DC 778. Rel: 11 Jun 21
 
Indie/Alternative
Glow & Glimmer (5:36)
Entrainment (6:19)
The Ladder (3:41)
Snap Yr Teeth (1:49)
Cyclic Boom (5:14)
Valence (8:02)
Slack Water (6:22)
Complete Rain (4:51)
Mental Eyes (3:26)
Review: Mind Maintenance is certainly an appropriate name for this duo. Usually grounded in jazz, here bassist Joshua Abrams and drummer Chad Taylor look far beyond the world of cool cats and late night bars, casting their gaze on more organic and earthy tones. Picking up a guimba - perhaps better known to some as the guitar-ish sintir regularly heard in Moroccan music - and mbira, a family of Zimbabwean percussive instruments, the tones are, unsurprisingly, transportive.

Through highly complex but minimalistic arrangements we are taken to places that can only really be described as 'not here'. The repetitive loops of padded beats and chimed melodies seem to go straight for the mind's eye, boring ever deeper into our subconscious and holding on tight once there. Close your eyes and the world in front of you quickly fades, leaving nothing but hypnotic tones that deserve to be heard outside, beneath the stars, by the fire.

Whirly Suite (2:03)
Last Flight (2:20)
Review: Whirlybird is a documentary which demanded a different sort of sound from Ty Segall,. He departs for his usual rock vibe and took on this challenge with an all new vibe. The resulting soundtrack is crafted from a variety of synth sounds, electric keyboards, drums, percussion and saxophones and off course, some of his signature guitars, It is sorry telling instrumental music with a real sense of its own narrative and perfectly frames the film's compulsive themes and images. It stands alone as a fine listen and a great testament to Ty's versatility.

Harmonizer
Harmonizer (heavyweight vinyl LP)
Cat: DC 795. Rel: 29 Oct 21

Play (2:24)
Feel Good (2:57)
Changing Contours (3:58)
Review: Ty Segall's first album in two years takes the artist into rather new and unexpected musical territory. The production has had a whole redesign and come out the other side with a synthtastic sound but there remains a load of keys and guitars, too. As such Harmonizer sounds new and fresh with plenty of bursts of transcendent energy. The Freedom Band were called upon during the origin of this album and so appear all throughout it, but often one at a time. This intense record is a grown up soul sound that gets more and more compelling with each listen as fresh details keep on revealing themselves.
