Dispatches from the Underground // April 19, 2022

New Music

Some new from Whited Sepulchre Rec! / Our 15th release was a cassette by the prolific and enigmatic artist Nicole Oberle whose work in the fields of textural ambient music and lo-fi beat-oriented work unfolds to reveal layers of emotional transparency and honesty.

Model Home – Saturn In The Basement / FX-warped avant-rap flow + abstracted beats & synths ft. a collab w/ Japanese post-punk icon PhewUnsung Hunger

SAVAK – Human Error / Human Delight (h/t Daggerboy)

Oberlin – Dymaxion Variations (Mahorka) / Imagine yourself having the chance to take a ride in Richard Buckminster-Fuller´s fully developed Dymaxion-car and float ergonomically and ecologically through every imaginable landscape. What music would you like to hear in it?

Cool Ricky – Satanic Panic (Z Tapes) / The trashiest of trash rockers

Hiroshi Ebina – It Just Is (Mystery Circles)

Listening Recommendations

Scorn – Silver Rain Fell (via Inari Takeda)

Path of Might – Mercenary Territory / I know I’m notoriously weak for Neurosis/Isis type stuff but to me this transcends imitation. The bass sound, the vocals, the synths… It all feels fresh & excitingcl melkus
