“Loki”
Label: (self released)
Official Website
(4.5/5)

Based in Israel and signed to the German Danse Macabre label, Ptyl chose to conduct an experiment by self-releasing his latest album in an interactive form he calls B.A.D.A.S.S., or Blog Accessed Downloadable Album Semi Series. There is nothing H.A.L.F.A.S.S.ed about this approach, as Ptyl ruminates on each track in videos averaging 5 minutes. While Ptyl often wanders off in manic thought, these videos do help get an overall sense of where he’s coming from with Loki. It’s a daringly original approach. Read More »

(3/5)

“Hybrid Still Life” is the newest release from Chicago’s “Infinity Interrupt”. Riddled with oppressively dark moods and textures, “Hybrid Still Life” plays from beginning to end like a detailed soundscape to a life gone wrong. You can still see glimpses of a beauty that used to exist but now only shadows and detached memories of what that beauty was remain. Read More »

Ethelscull is one Amelia Peel. The 20 track long “ribbons into hysterics” is a really hit or miss situation. Fortunately none of the “miss” tracks are overly long. Recorded on a 4-track 2002 to 2003 the albums recording quality is definitely lo-fi but not hard to listen to. Read More »
