It feels like sarcasm to call such an industrial power noise album Gaia. Anyway, very heavy noise beats, one of my favorites.
Lith – Gaïa
Oranssi Pazuzu – Värähtelijä
Finnish black metal but with many strange edges. Psychedelic rock, pumping kicks, many post-rock themes. It is quite an opus.
Ginormous – At Night Under Artificial Light
Eclectic electronic with some heavy old-edIT kind of glitch beats, some ambient textures and noiseful IDM, some instrumental hiphop tempo, and even some chill psychedelic tunes here and there.
Looks like I just re-discovered the Hymen Records catalog.
VNDL – Gahrena: Structures
Part intimate, part exploration. Ambient and glitches and noises.
Volkova Sisters - Blood Shapes This Faith
It is so strange that this is Volkova Sister’s first long player and it only dropped this year. Feels like they have been around for a long time and have put out much more, like several records. Probably I am biased since I’ve been listening to Dalma’s different bands for the most part of the past decade. And all of them have been a blast, this one’s no different.
Phantogram – Three
This is good pop music.
Whipper – Shit Love
Perfect press kit says it all: “Debut single of red hot punk for three shitbags from Melbourne.” Best new punk music by far.
Danny & The Darleans – Bug Out
This is a rock record, which definitely doesn’t sound like anything from 2016. It has all the festival jump around rock and roll shake it shake it vibe of all the past ten years and even some of the Beatles in its veins.
Beach Slang – A Loud Bash of Teenage Feelings
Another good ol’ punk rock record, nothing more and nothing less.
Xander Harris – California Chrome
Eclectic electronic: retro futurist synthwave, ambient, downtempo, electro, jumpig back and forth. That said it is not a very coherent album, but tracks are fine.
