Details

dj. flugvél og geimskip (Airplane and Spaceship) is a one girl’s project that draws influences from a thousand worlds. Defined as electronic horror¬music with a space twist, the music is a mix of playful beats, cool bass, catchy melodies and high pitched vocals. She sings about evil cats taking over the world, alien experiments, demons hiding in shadows and the weird world below the surface of the ocean. Her live performances are lively, colorful and poetic and her music deals with mysteries, dreams and dangers of the night. On stage, dj. flugvél og geimskip is alone in the midst of keyboards and drum machines. Her concerts are like a strange blend of music, horror stories, poetry and theater. The mood is set by storytelling between songs, the use of incense, smoke, lights and a backdrop video. The audience is left feeling like they are in a vivid dream or have travelled to outer space. dj. flugvél og geimskip just recently released her third album, Nótt á hafsbotni (Night at the Bottom of the Ocean) where the topic is the deep ocean. Her last album, Glamúr í geimnum (Glamour in Space) was all about the magic of space. In a way the deep ocean is similar to space, if not the same. Both are dark and exotic. Men know more about the moon then the deep ocean so one never knows what’s hiding there underneath. Nótt á hafsbotni is a heavier album then Glamúr í geimnum but the beats are more dancy and the melodies are influenced by Asian music, for example from India and Syria. Quotes “Utterly charming and hugely entertaining, she could have taught The Knife a thing or two about staging and The Flaming Lips that spectacle can also work on an intimate scale.” The Arts Desk “Her vocal register seem to suggest some kind of MiddleEastern musical influence, the electronics some oddball Jpop influence, and the project as a whole suggests she’s possibly picking up some kind of outer space influence. Memorable”. The 405 “We dip in and out of a few other shows, but our final treat of this year’s festival turns out to be DJ. Flugvél og Geimskip, a slip of a girl who plays bonkers cyborg space music of crazily high-pitched vocals, glitchy dancing and earsplitting electronics. It’s mystical, mischievous and entirely marvellous”. Clash “…there’s always something rewarding about seeing someone do exactly what they want.” Dazed Digital

Details

The Oscar winning soundtrack from Ennio Morricone. The Hateful 8 is the eighth f ilm by two-time Academy Award winner Quentin Tarantino, and the f irst time time he has made a f ilm with a dedicated score. Who bet ter to help create and coordinate his first dedicated score than the legendar y film composer and Academy Award winner, Ennio Morricone. Tarantino has used Morricone pieces in each of his most recent six films, including Django Unchained and Inglorious Basterds. The Hateful 8 marks the f irst time the two have collaborated throughout the production of the film to create a complete picture: bringing together the sounds, sights, and passionate grit to fabricate a truly well rounded piece of smart ar t. Morricone star ted writing music at the age of six and has been composing critically acclaimed f ilm scores since the 1960’s when his career was launched af ter composing the score to The Man with No Name trilogy s tar r ing Clint Eastwood. Morricone established himself as the master of spaghet ti western scores and later on began working in all genres of f ilm with directors such as Franco Zef f irelli, Federico Felini, Roman Polanski, and Roland Jof fe put ting him on par with the major composers and establishing him as one of the all time greats, composing soundtracks for over 400 film and T V projects. He has made his mark on film by blending jazz, folk, blues, funk, and classical music to make for brilliantly simple scores that set him apar t from the rest. In Tarantino’s tradition of not confining his soundtrack selections to space or time periods, the soundtrack also features songs from Roy Orbison, David Hess, and The White Stripes to round ever y thing out. Hateful 8 is the most sweeping and narrative soundtrack Tarantino has released yet, and is sure to become a classic.

NERVOSAS - 'S/T'

Formats

• ZZZ140 - LP

Details

The second self-titled album (first for Dirtnap Records) from hard-touring Ohio dark-punks Nervosas is an improvement on their awesome debut in every way. The fast songs are meaner and more aggressive, the slower songs are more textured and atmospheric. Impeccably recorded, Nervosas showcases truly impressive musicianship and songwriting inspiration to burn. The band goes way, way beyond the “punk kids playing post-punk” thing going around these days, and fits in perfectly on the darker end of the Dirtnap spectrum, alongside such fine company as The Estranged, The Splits and Autistic Youth. It’s truly an important and epic mind-bender of an album

PHYLUMS - 'PHYLUM PHYLOID'

Formats

• ZZZ139 - LP

Details

Like a spore in a petri dish, Phylums began cultivating in the dank basements of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 2011, when members of Goodnight Loving, Head On Electric and Holy Shit! united with the common goal of performing stripped-down, primitive rock ’n’ roll. Their three-chord odes paid homage to The Sonics, Creedence, The Monks— any band with a simple message and no-frills attack. Phylums took this primitive drive into Kyle Motor’s studio in Madison, Wisconsin, in Summer 2014. It took the band under 24 hours to record their complete debut album on reel-to-reel eight-track. Surfy guitar leads and wandering fuzz combined with a rhythm section of driving toms and bass make up the core instrumentation, but a shades of organ, piano and even a vacuum cleaner add to the sonic palette. The songs, ranging from party rave-ups to off-kilter introspections, eschew the traditional boy / girl tropes of most three-chord songs and instead focus on alienation, the afterlife, speech impediments and the frustrating beauty and monotony of modern life.

RADIOACTIVITY - 'SILENT KILL'

• ZZZ138CD - CD

Details

It’s pretty safe to assume that no one doubted Radioactivity’s ability to follow up their 2013 Dirtnap debut with something equally stunning. Frontman and chief songwriter Jeff Burke (The Marked Men, The Reds, The Potential Johns) has certainly done more than enough to earn that kind of expectation and pressure. But Silent Kill, which finds Burke backed by Marked Men compatriot Mark Ryan and two-thirds of Bad Sports (Daniel Fried and Gregory Rutherford), does more than merely match the virtues of its self-titled predecessor. Radioactivity’s first LP was rightly hailed as a sort of sequel to The Marked Men’s remarkable run through the first decade of the millennium, and while Silent Kill bears the unmistakable hallmarks of that band’s tightly wound “Denton sound,” Radioactivity can now lay claim to a sonic territory of their very own. Burke’s distinctive hooks dig as deep as ever, but the scope of his vision has expanded, and now that the Burke / Ryan / Fried / Rutherford all-star team has had some time to cohere, Radioactivity can do all sorts of damage in less than thirty minutes. Although the twelve songs on Silent Kill abide by one strict rule—providing garage punk pleasure at all costs—Radioactivity bends that mandate in myriad ways. Breathless ragers like “Battered” and “No Alarm” are as fleet and raw as anything in the combined canon of Radioactivity’s members, while midtempo heartbreakers “Way Out,” “Connection” and “Where I Come From” find Burke and company opening up their sound to let in a little tenderness. And then there are songs like “Not Here” or “With You,” which enact perfect unions of melody and kinetic energy. Admirers of Burke’s legacy will be not only satisfied, but pleasantly surprised.
