Expensive Air (Joyful Noise) 2024
Oneida
Portada: Dan Schechter
Edición: 19 de julio



Oneida (1997, Brooklyn, Nueva York, Estados Unidos)
Experimental, psicodelia, noise, jam band y eléctrónica.


El bajista y teclista de Oneida, Bobby Matador, comentó sobre el nuevo álbum: “Me encontré pensando en este disco como una contraparte más oscura, más suelta y más ruidosa de Success. Ambos discos avanzan desde el principio y mezclan lo elíptico con lo contundente y el anhelo con la autoburla. Pero Success es como reírse en un auto que avanza descuidadamente a través de una tormenta de hielo, y Expensive Air es cómo te ríes de ti mismo mientras el auto se cae en la zanja o choca contra un árbol. El mismo viaje, pero un poco más cercano a la esencia”.

At Fargrounds (Domino/Wrong Speed) 2024
Jacken Elswyth
Portada: David Hand
Edición: 17 de mayo



Jacken Elswyth (Londres, Inglaterra, Reino Unido)
Música Folk de los Apalaches, improvisación y vanguardia.


La crítica reconoce de At Fargrounds que "las melodías tradicionales incluidas aquí han sido cultivadas y mantenidas por generaciones de músicos y coleccionistas, podadas , injertadas y moldeadas a lo largo del tiempo. Sin embargo, en este contexto, sus formas establecidas desde hace mucho tiempo parecen transformarse y cambiar. Acumulan audiblemente cualidades únicas, floreciendo y creciendo en nuevos modos de ser, arreglos de pasos brillantes que se despliegan con una vivacidad que insinúa prácticas de rituales y comunidad. Mientras tanto, otras piezas, piedras angulares creativas de esta colección, parecen fluidas, parcialmente formadas. No sugieren el cultivo de un nuevo crecimiento a partir de un material establecido, sino las acciones de algo a punto de tomar forma. Trabajando con elementos crudos de abstracción melódica y tonal, iluminan el proceso de surgimiento y evolución".

Alex Izenberg (Rocket Recordings) 2024
Alex Izenberg & The Exiles
Edición: 26 de julio



Alex Izenberg (Los Ángeles, California, Estados Unidos)
Cantautor, alternativo, art pop.


La información promocional de Rocket Recordings recuerda que "mientras Alex Izenberg juntaba las piezas psicodélicas y arrolladoras de su debut con banda completa  Alex Izenberg & The Exiles , el artista de Los Ángeles se centró en un objetivo simple: hacer algo que durara".

El comunicado se refiere a que "en el corazón de sus canciones hay ideas audaces que se inspiran en las reflexiones embriagantes del filósofo Alan Watts, la narración de múltiples capas de King Crimson y las vistas imaginativas de Fleet Foxes. Si bien el tema puede parecer esotérico (Mi inconsciente nombró la lengua/De las luces de los ojos cerrados, dice una letra característica), Izenberg y su banda dejaron que la música se desviara agradablemente hacia la tierra". 

La nota oficial finaliza refiriéndose a que "las melodías son románticas y cálidas, y los arreglos son tentadoramente expansivos, haciendo un uso experto de un nuevo conjunto formado en torno a las canciones más fuertes de su carrera".
