JIM O’ROURKE / Simple Songs
Na Drag City najavi albuma pišu ovo “There ARE no simple songs — only simple people. And since guns don’t kill people, Simple Songs will have to do. Super-sweet terrorism from our very own latter-day Spector!”
DIIV / Frog in Boiling Water
Nakon punih pet godina njujorški DIIV imaju novi album. Slušamo ga zajedno ove srijede i subote od 15 sati.
If you drop a frog in a pot of boiling water, it will of course frantically try to clamber out. But if you place it gently in a pot of tepid water and turn the heat on low, the frog will sink into a tranquil stupor, exactly like one of us in a hot bath, and before long, with a smile on its face, it will unresistingly allow itself to be boiled to death.
We understand the metaphor to be one about a slow, sick, and overwhelmingly banal collapse of society under end-stage capitalism, the brutal realities we’ve maybe come to accept as normal. That’s the boiling water and we are the frogs. The album is more or less a collection of snapshots from various angles of our modern condition which we think highlights what this collapse looks like and, more particularly, what it feels like.

KHRUANGBIN / The Universe Smiles Upon You
Postoje albumi koji su jednostavno i univerzalno LIJEPI. I nije uopće teško zamisliti da nam se, slušajući takvu glazbu, čitav univerzum smiješi. I smiješimo se mi njemu.
DEAN BLUNT / Black Metal 2
Dean Blunt, vjerojatno najveći glazbeni provokator ovog vremena, sa najnovijim izdanjem “Black Metal 2” kao album tjedna.
YUSSEF DAYES / Black Classical Music
I ovaj tjedan, svojevrstan Editor’s Choice odnosno urednička preporuka za najbolja izdanja iz prošle godine. Album izdan u rujnu kojeg se teško možete zasititi ako imate i malo sklonosti prema ovoj paleti zvukova.
