TUESDAY

:: Aa ::

[via Lizzyville]

“Aa (say “Big A little a”) has been one of the most restlessly innovative bands in Brooklyn over the past 6 years, steadily evolving their unique, intensely stylized brand of DIY maximalism through frequently-changing lineups and instrumentation. Like an ADD-afflicted Boredoms or Aphex Twin re-imagined as a self-taught marching band, the group’s hyper-hyphenate, polyrhythmic sound evokes elements of global dance, hardcore, electronic, pop, psych, and other influences with a sensibility that transcends pastiche to create something wholly, bracingly new.” -Panache

[via Panache]

“Screens is Breck Brunson, Dan Tierney, Andrew Becker, and Luke Koz. Breck (ex-Apes) sings through a reverb box. Dan (ex-The Mall) plays a tiny Casio keyboard with bass keys on the left side. Andy (ex-Medications) bangs round metal objects with sticks in particular sequences. Luke (ex) plays a cream guitar he bought two weeks ago for about $1000. They write parts and put them together to form songs. Think Wire covering a Chopin piece on kid’s toy instruments as sampled by Dr. Octagon.” -Panache

[via myspace]

“PC Worship have a more ragged, basement appeal than much of the Shdwply catalogue, with a crude, DIY psych edge that feels closer to the homemade aesthetic of the early Twisted Village sides than the glazed psych-pop most associated with this amazing label. NYC Stone Age feels like a collection of tracks put together over a period of time and it veers into a bunch of mutually fucked zones: there are some honking brass-led jazz breakdowns that match Joshua Burkett-era Vermonster in terms of excessively-damaged free-rock motion, the kind of claustrophobic private basement psych that would erect temples around Vulcan’s Meet Your Ghost LP and some zoned pop/drone songs. Another great one from a label that can pretty much do no wrong.” -Volcanic Tounge

WEDNESDAY

:: love like deloreans ::

[via their myspace]

“If one of the defining characteristics of experimental music is its combination of conceptual difficulty — destined purely for the mind — and extreme sensory stimulation — destined for the body — then Love Like Deloreans’ music gravitates magnetically toward the latter of these two poles. So much so, that people who do not know their backstory — the fact that that they derive a good deal of their material from process techniques, for example — might be tempted to call them straight dance pop or mistake their intricate manual counterpoint for preprogrammed synth runs.” -Tiny Mix Tapes

:: behavior ::

[via myspace]

“The mighty psych-rock outfit Behavior, [...] after appearing basically out of nowhere, have been eliciting ear-to-ear grins all over New York City with their inspired mix of taut melodica and high-gravity jam outros that are messy as all hell.” -Arthur Magazine
