New Music Releases - April 2020: Pt. 3

Another roundup of new music that came out this April – compiled with a little help from our followers! See part 1 here and part 2 here.

Sunken Foal – Florida Crystals EP (Countersunk)

Kodian Trio – Live in Leeds (Raw Tonk Records)

Andrew Lisle – drums
Dirk Serries – electric guitar
Colin Webster – alto saxophone

Fragile X – Panzer Kunst (Disintegration State)

As head of the Bricolage label, Fragile X has been a friend of ours since day 1. Last year he contributed a remix to our anniversary compilation and we’re delighted to be putting out this EP of post-apocalyptic rhythmic soundscapes. Sparse percussion rattles around brooding synths across the three tracks as if a storm is brewing to wash over desolate wastelands. And that storm breaks cataclysmically on Steve Hadfield’s remix in a torrent of industrial drums and swirling feedback.

Blanket Swimming + DR – Lightning Gallery (Mahorka)

“The Lightning Gallery” is a 50/50 collaborative effort from Blanket Swimming & DR. The sounds map out an illusionary, dimly lit gallery. Flashes of memories drift in and out as still life paintings take on new forms with each glance.

Teleplasmiste – To Kiss Earth Goodbye (House of Mythology)

To Kiss Earth Goodbye, Teleplasmiste’s second full album, sees their sound-vision expanding and deepening, phantasmally and fantastically, opening onto thrilling new vistas of euphoria. The music is informed by a deep awareness and respect for prior esoteric traditions and counterculture currents, but forges a new and fertile synthesis very much its own.

Max Devereaux – Max Devereaux Sings The Blues (Self Released)
