*King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard - PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation*

 King Gizzard's fantastic foray into metal territory with their usual blend of psychedelia, tribal drumming and chants. Charged with lighting, the songs are long and epic, distilling a frenzied energy that is so akin to King Gizzard. Monsters, hellish creatures and horror come forth and enchant the listener with brutal and unrelenting beauty. Catchy choruses and huge hooks delivered in 7 grandiose themes. The vynil also includes a bonus track - Dawn of eternal night - which features a very spooky and powerful first person narration of doom, freedom, and empowerment.

*Khruangbin - LateNightTales*

  A brilliant and accessible double LP that showcases Khruangbin favourite tracks and influences providing an actual sonic globetrotting experience. The journey starts with "Illuminations" featuring Alice Coltrane and Santana, a spiritual intro for an incredible journey. The second track "I know that (when the spring times comes)" by Brilliantes del Vuelo is a mellow dubby reggae inspired track that gives a way to the more energetic "Khushi" by Nazia Hassan, a bittersweet quasi disco sounding track. "DRM" by Kelly Doyle is a rather short but breezy instrumental song that keeps the spirit of the sonic traveller alive. Side B starts up with "Don't go" by the south korean rock pioneers Sanullim, a very 80's new wave delight type of song. "I like it (don't stop)" by Maxwell Udoh is a rather amusing disco type song with romantic lyrics, very danceable stuff. "Enseñame" featuring David Marez is a lounge type so...

*Jonzun Crew - Lost in Space*

  Spectacular funky hip-hop from the 80's. The group was led by Michael Jonzun and his brothers Maurice Starr, Sonny and Carl. The group was highly influenced by Afrika Bambaatta, they wore wigs like Mozart and dominated the electroboogie sound like bands such as Parliament.  All the tracks are great and unique. Wonderful band that has yet to find its real listeners. The green solid reissue is gorgeous.  Interesting for fans of Daft Punk.

*Jon Jost soundtracks - Last chants for a slow dance // Slow moves*

  A friend sent me this CD that he produced and edited under his indie label, Plancton music. I was unfamiliar with Jon Jost's work as a director  and after having listened to this CD, I decided to watch two of the feature films featured on this soundtrack: "Last Chants for a slow dance" and "Slow moves". Both films are as contemplative as they are rebellious in the showing of character's emotions and motivations, serving as characters studies of the drifter who seeks meaning and some kind of spiritual refuge in everyday life. The songs were composed by Jon Jost with the exception of one song, "Fixing to die" who was co-written with Kajsa Ohman. The soundtrack is comprised of bittersweet country songs intertwined with some audio excerpts from the films. There is a pervasive melancholy and longing for better times and the drifter ethos in searching and seeking eternally, meaning that the destination is never as enchanting as the travel. The audio ex...
