From Musique Machine:
Dead Raven Choir – Selenoclast Wolves
Selenoclast Wolves is split neatly in tow, the first half is all new material very much in a dark/ difficult avant folk state and claiming to be his last acoustic material. The second half of the disk is reissue and remastering of early Lesbian Corpse Wolves, which is probably as approachable to normal ears as Smolken has got with Dead Raven choir or his other projects, introducing more traditional/ tuneful melodies and sang female vocals.Andreas Bertilsson – Paramount
What Bertilsson gives us with Paramount is a reality bending mix of beautiful recorded envormental sounds, drones, musical momments and odd textural noise and a real feeling of been in side some odd reality.This is Bertilsson’s first work under his own name before he released under the name of Sons of Clay.Type O Negative – Dead Again
I’ll have to admit I’d rather lost interest in Type O Negative after the disappointing World come Down, it seem their magic musically touched had slipped away. So it was with great interest I read the press release for Dead again claiming this was a return to ala Blood Kissers/ October Rust. I’m happy to report this does live up to the hype and is really rather good and solid album. I guess for the most part focusing more on the melodic, textured feel of their sound, but still with some nice heaviness in places.Shedding – What God doesn’t Bless,You wont love;what you don
What God doesn’t Bless,…. finds Sound sculpturer Connor Bell recontextualizing and morphing the work of jazz musician Eric Dolphy, to make a strange droning triped-out hallucinogenic audio soup. That falls somewhere between ambience, jazz, psychedelic rhythmic led freak outs and lost in strange nursery rythem woodiness.
