Elvis Perkins – I Aubade (2015)

Six years after the release of his second album (2009’s Elvis Perkins in Dearland), singer and songwriter Elvis Perkins returns with his long-awaited third full-length effort.
Released in 2015, I Aubade finds Perkins taking greater control of his music than ever before — he produced the album himself, recorded much of it at home, played many of the instruments on his own, and released the final product on his own label, Mir Records. While I Aubade is steeped in the literate yet impressionistic lyrical style that dominated Perkins’ previous work, this time he’s embraced a spectral, lo-fi sound dominated by layers of found sound, curious electronic buzzing and makeshift noisemaking, a casual approach to the instrumental work, and sound effects that suggest some of the songs were recorded with the windows open in a bustling, big-city community.

Lydia Lunch, Cypress Grove & Spiritual Front – Twin Horses (2015)

After the great success of the desert hit A Fistful of Desert Blues, Lydia Lunch & Cypress Grove meet the nihilist folk of Spiritual Front.
Twin Horses is the encounter between two intense musical souls. Miss Lunch’s melancholic Acoustic Blues meets Simone Salvatori’s Sensual and Cathartic Folk.
Lydia Lunch’s voice has never been so touching and moving; on the other side there is an inspired Spiritual Front that does not settle but goes beyond the soul of “suicide pop”  to give us it’s new acoustic soul.
On Twin Horses, besides unedited pieces, Lydia and Cypress interpret the Eagles’ song Hotel California in a desert blues style and Simone plays his version of W.A.S.P.’s Love Machine in folk style.

Phosphorescent – Live at the Music Hall (2015)

... Rust Never Sleeps ...

Recorded over four nights at The Music Hall of Williamsburg, this triple LP is a veritable best-of from a band at the height of their performative powers. Featuring scorching renditions of the best-loved songs of the Phosphorescent catalog, from Los Angeles to Song for Zula, Phosphorescent delivers a live album for all-time.

The Amazing – Picture You (2015)

The Amazing filters psychedelia and California pop through a cool Scandinavian lens, wrapping eddies of drumming and rampant guitar in fuzzy serenity. The band’s combination of styles is perfectly understandable when you consider its members: four guys from Dungen and former Granada frontman Christoffer Gunrup.
  The Amazing inhabits an aural landscape that’s all its own: a panoramic, constantly evolving spectacle marked by layers of intertwining guitars, richly textured keyboards and a rhythm section adept at skewed tempos and a tendency to veer off in unexpected directions.

Black Rivers – Black Rivers (2015)

Andy and Jez Williams spent over two decades with lifelong friend Jimi Goodwin in Doves and Sub Sub, before embarking on a hiatus in 2010. Whether they will all ever record together again is unclear, but it certainly wasn’t an acrimonious parting, rather a desire on both sides to try something new. Last year Goodwin released his debut Odludek, which sounded more playful than anything he’d done before, yet retained imprints of his former bands soul, particularly that of the Northern variety. Now the Williams twins have remerged with the eponymously titled Black Rivers, which channels their alma mater’s affection for epic guitar music, but adds a more electronica tinged colour to its pallet.

Duke Garwood – Heavy Love (2015)

“As close to Heaven as you can get with a guitar.” Josh T. Pearson
 “Duke Garwood is the real thing; like the perfect blues perpetually emanating good vibes thru a uni-vibe (even when he’s singing about darkness). An old soul and a saint…” Kurt Vile
 “The entire record listening public should know Duke Garwood’s music. The fact most don’t is a fucking travesty. He’s a mystic, a musical genius and Heavy Love is a total mind-blowing masterpiece. Get with it people!” Mark Lanegan

Boduf Songs – Stench of Exist – (2015)

Stench of Exist is at once his most accessible and most esoteric work to date; from the opium flow of the tracks, running headily into one another like tributaries to river, to the muted-industrial-electronic-effected drums underscoring the spiraling melodies and fluttering drones, to the clean and rich guitar, abstracted cycles and feedback walls, its whispered doom metal masquerades as a lullaby.
 The collision of arabesque tonalities with electronic sound and
ambience brings to mind the promise of Blade Runner—half-asleep at 4:00 A.M. and slightly medicated, with pyramids and flame-spewing cityscapes in downpour glowing against the fluttering eyelids in the almost-dreaming consciousness.

Motorama – Poverty (2015)

Prior to their second full-length Calendar (2012), Motorama was a wonderfully kept secret. From the port city of Rostov-On-Don, deep in the heart of southern Russia, the band was producing a Manchester-inspired cold wave, icy and hypnotic.
With 2 albums, few self-released EP’s and 2 brilliant singles already in their bag, the band is preparing to put out their third album, entitled Poverty, this month. Motorama’s gloomy output, heavily under the influence of Joy Division’s records,  marries Interpol’s motorik basslines with vampiric delivery in flawless English by the band’s singer, Vladislav Parshin. Their songs carry a heavy load of melancholic beauty and melodies strong enough to make feel the need to hum along.

John Southworth – Niagara (2014)

An ambitious double album consisting of a “Canadian” side and an “American” side, mercurial English-Canadian singer/songwriter John Southworth‘s Niagara is a triumph of both style and substance, a glowing pastiche of sunset-driven ’70s soft rock and heady, jazz-tinged chamber pop that invokes names like Scott Walker, Harry Nilsson, Cass McCombs, Jacques Brel, Louis Philippe, Paolo Conte, David Ackles, and Gilbert O’Sullivan.
