Kingbastard – XY34R5 “A Decade of Bastardism!”

Kingbastard celebrates his 10th birthday with this moniker by collecting all his previous releases in one big bundle. First thing to note here: this is a USB drive release, music actually placed on a flash drive, which is placed in a box-set kind of box. Sounds kinda funny but actually it looks surprisingly great. Then he created a compilation of the compilation by selecting 28 tracks, which is then released as a digital album with the same name. It is an awesome collection, quite a pleasure and broad spectrum of styles to dig through.

Killing Joke – Euphoria / I Am The Virus

Listening to the two new Killing Joke singles in a row made me very enthusiastic about the new album coming soon. Almost pre-ordered the record on LP but stayed strong and stayed put. Still it made me do a full listen-through of the Killing Joke discography, playing right now and for the few days ahead presumably.

Kutmah – Closure

Amazing atmospheres, moody stuff, probably not for the joyful of souls. Kept me stick for the full length and worth some replays.

Fun fact: after the last track here Rdio continued the auto-play with Four Tet – And They All Look Broken Hearted. Spot on.

Reigns – The House on the Causeway

Listening to this album is always a mood and mind altering experience. The album cover is so eerie, makes me chill with goose bumps all over just by looking at it.

My favorite track is Take It Down by far, it has a very special and personal place in my heart. It will always make me wonder of an exquisite atmosphere where ghosts come to haunt the world but they make friends with people of the night and exchange stories of life and death.

There is this little girl sitting on one side of a seesaw deep inside a forest just among a little clearing in the woods when dawn barely breaks and light dimly illuminates the rising mist, and all she wants is to reconnect with someone from this world who tells her a good night story to be comforted by and leave with.

I love the idea of such a moment. We should connect between these states of being so much more.

Mike Cooper – Fratello Mare

Alright, this is something completely wicked. Like listening to some ukulele-driven tropical elevator music while being completely fucked up on acid and having a seriously twisted trip. It is not good, per se, but cannot not listen to it.
