Schemawound

J.Siemasko, Schemawound’s sole member, has roots in industrial, IDM, glitch, ambient, improv noise, soundscapes, etc. Every one of these were evident in 2010’s Hospital Songs, a therapeutic release
effectively ending a 6 year period of writer’s block. This was followed by My Time as a Rat which was a
re-release of pre-Schemawound material, which makes They Want to Make Your Body Move… the second
proper release.
Siemasko offers only a simple description of They Want to Make Your Body Move… claiming that “The album is an exploration of small events magnified.” One could also say he has gone in a very different direction than his previous works, relying on simple textures and tones coded exclusively in Supercollider to build an entire album’s worth of unique ambient/drone. This is a vivid journey through sonic uncertainty, which leaves you excited and fulfilled once it’s over.

Teenage Tasteless

Some music is just a journey and then after awhile of listening – you end up gone with the wind. Hailing from Berlin, Teenage Tasteless brings you the sounds from their new album, “Bartan Shumak.” A dark electronic mix of six extensive tracks, bringing you all kinds of goodies, (not too sour, not too sweet, just about everything for the normal taste buds.) Let me just say, if you’ve ever liked anything that we have released this is a definite ‘must-have-album’. Teenage Tasteless brings us a fresh aftertaste, with electronic sounds of dark-chocolate echos, layered on top of bitter drones that twist, shout and purr. A few piano chords, drum machines and the fundamentals of haunted solo singing voice will at times accompany the blends in the album. A couple of the tracks push beyond 12 minutes, and will have several movements to the song, still bringing together the whir and the buzz of something new and beautiful to the diversity of a completed noise mix. Its a dark, tried and true sound, pushing the instruments until they finally distort within the coalescence and end with a somber harmony and a lasting impression.

Chat Logs

Its a fresh air in paused screams and a debased harmony in moon-blue static lines. If you want music that keeps you wanting to put gasoline on everything you own, then get Chat Logs new album. Its a haywire sound with a seven song set, starting with a pomp in “”Great and Dreadful Sky” moving into a fast paced, unorthodox sound. The guitars and drums are fast and grungy while the vocals ring with a mystery, and shout like a modern-day Oz. The album ends with echos, feedback and a creepy distorted Doors-like monologue.
This is the fifth release from Chat Logs, including an EP and one split with Many Mansions, which was put out late in 2011. The band has changed their sound drastically from day one, but has still kept its original integrity and the pandemonium that builds.

Micromelancolié

Dissonant tones, an unstable aural combination, and tensions that demand more; the new release of “Owl Eater” from Micromelancolié is an album that finds a much more humanly private quality than resolution: it finds conflict and grief. The album begins in the static unknown – a monotonous search in the woods of a lonely whir. As an owl’s gaze wanders, so does the light buzz in the tone, moving in and out of the speaker, up and down in the melody.
Looking for prey, Micromelancolié eats the bird of wisdom and moves onto the second side with a pounding harmony on the piano. The gloom and drear of chord pushes back into another tension, but this time more harsh than Side A. Contact mics, samplers and pre-recorded sounds; the new, complete album from Micromelancolié, “Owl Eater,” brings a moon-skulled thrill, and a surreal reach for the creatures of the night.

The Binary Marketing Show

Bethany Carder and Abram Morphew, the two members of The Binary Marketing Show, spent last year traveling around the US in support of their latest full-length release “Because of This, This, and This.” Now, with their new track, “Liquid Lung/Oha Cosmonaut,” the soundscapes make way to an interstellar-like feel with a modern, digitized sound. The two collaborate and create an electro-pop song in a light-hearted approach. Through expressive lyrics and a steady, simple beat, with a background of whirs and loops, The Binary Marketing Show demonstrate a beautiful texture and well-layered harmonies.
The next side is a slick and unpredictable track performed by New Diet. This group has kept their music simple, yet intriguing to much of their audience. “Van Song” has the same haze as a late-night highway drive. The indie-rock group from Chicago, has created many songs with orchestrations of layered notes and a creative use of samples and sound effects. Beginning with a raw, dark melody and in a minor key, the song smoothly transitions into a balanced groove and simple but entertaining rock chords. The transitions of each song, from each group, shape a wonderful progressive to a great split.
