Here's a digest of this week's #OPM writeups! 5 tracks from indie Fediverse #music artists to expand your musical horizons. Unusual ambient, wild ADHDcore, and more this week!
If you want the full, undigested versions (i.e. where I have more to say about each one than will fit in a single post) of these writeups, they are here:
Lush, organic and cinematic, this is the sound of #jazz crashing into post rock while the ghost of #prog looks on with approval. Twisty, unusual rhythms and interesting harmonic movement realized by an array of impressive musicians, including both traditional rock/jazz players but also strings and more. Sounds like someone made a movie out of the weirdest dream you ever had and this is the score.
Next week I'm doing a special #Fedivision version! If you're a mutual who's submitted a Fedivision track and want some coverage, HMU and let's make that happen.
If you enjoyed my writing, and want to buy me a coffee, you can do that here:
Oasis have dropped a hint that they may be getting back together after their split 15 years ago. The iconic Britpop band, fronted by battling brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, posted a cryptic video on X, with no explanation. Some fans believe it means new live gigs or music. Others are convinced it's aerial footage of Sawmill Studio in Cornwall, where Oasis recorded their debut, "Definitely Maybe," and that the video teases a 30th anniversary reissue. Here's the NME with more details.
As we await clarification, here's a fun question: It's now 25 years since Blur's "Country House" and Oasis's "Roll With It" went head to head for the U.K. No. 1 spot. Most folk agree that the tunes themselves weren't the best examples of the bands' work, but a quarter-of-a-century on, which do you think is the iconic Britpop act?
Trochę z Japonii (z jednej strony punk, z drugiej klawisze i smyczki), jakiś prog rock, elektronika, trochę jakiegoś uj-wi-czego, deczko czeskiego plumkania na gitarze, jezu-jezu-nie-będę-tego-etykietować, itd. (poddaję się, nie umiem).
Delighted to announce 20th Anniversary Remastered Editions of our first two albums:
"Yoshimi Battles The Hip-Hop Robots" and "A Night At The Hip-Hopera".
We decided to celebrate by asking our good friend and audio maestro Anthony Chapman to bring them up to date and he's done a truly excellent job.
If you think you know these albums well, prepare to be amazed.
