Slavyk - 11 Songs of Love & Suffering
Our dear friends (well done, Christian) at CPL-Music have a wonderful new release from the Polish-Serbian band Slavyk. From their press release: “Slavyk is the sonic offspring of an ever-evolving international music theatre project. The Polish-Serbian quartet brings together Silesian and Serbian musical traditions alongside English lyrics, blending jazz, pop, and white voice singing with a…
E.N.D. - Null
Null is the debut release from E.N.D., who I will assume is from Brazil, particularly Porto Alegre, as the project is associated with my dear friends at M I S T, one of a myriad of boutique record labels specializing in experimental, dark ambient, drone and post-industrial music. This release, though quite short, shows E.N.D.’s potential for making hypnotic drone, bathing the listener in dark…
Traveling To Batumi
No review today. I’m packing for a trip!
Stick Men - 20260403 Elkton Music Hall, Elkton, MD
Tony Levin and the side project of his I like the most have new live material available here, and it’s free. This is from a concert held in April of 2026, and the sound quality is excellent. The music is as wonderfully Crimson-esque as you would expect.
Keçaçioğlu Muhammad, Gurban Primov & Sasha Ohanezashvili - An Azeri Mugham Trio ca. 1912
From the damn-near-perfect record label Canary Records’ Bandcamp site: “Keçaçioğlu Muhammad was the stage name of Muhammad Mashadi Khalil oglu who was born June 18, 1864 in the city of Shusha in the mountainous region of the Russian Empire known to the overwhelming Armenian majority of its residents for centuries as Artsakh and is now called Karabakh, a region a little larger than the U.S. state…
Chalupáři - Jak Se Do Lesa Volá, Tak Se z Lesa Ozývá
A huge thanks to my dear brother, Hubert Heathertoes, for introducing me to this gem from Chalupáři, the Czech outfit that delivers something truly special. It’s noisy, yes—but in the most immersive, profoundly atmospheric way. This is an excellent test record for your speakers, yet if you give it time, Chalupáři’s music richly rewards your patience with layers of texture and depth that linger…
Hochiwah / Cimetière de l'Est - Split
As much as I love the term ‘experimental music’ as a catch-all, it is wholly inappropriate for something this weird yet this accessible. I cannot say anything about Cimetière de l’Est, but I had the pleasure of hearing several works by Hochiwah, and the first two bands that came to mind were Annette Peacock and Tuxedomoon. I am very much looking forward to watching these projects develop.
Can Live Series Continues with ‘Live In Arles 1975’
Because I will be taking a road trip today from Tsemi (where I met some of the most brilliant people I’ve had in a while) back home to Tbilisi, I won’t be able to do a proper review, so I will leave you with very pleasant news for Krautrock fans, courtesy of The Quietus. Can have new live material available!
Various Artists - Music in Exile presents "Jutna"
Jeff Gburek + Eryk Nowacki - Small Fires
Yet another sublime release by fellow expatriate Jeff Gburek: “Our title Small Fires derives from the practice among certain Indigenous American people of making small fires periodically, often enough to prevent the build-up of fallen wood that could fuel large forest fires. It is also said that one makes a small fire to get close to, to get down to earth, keep warm, cook, and remain discreet, as…
Lavalove - Tan Lines
I owe this one to my niece Abi. She watched the band perform several times and they were good enough for her to insist that I give them a listen. Of course, she has golden ears! Lavalove has a garage rock sound that my brother and I grew up with, but they also have a pop sensibility that reminds me of groups like The Go-Go’s and Juliana Hatfield. Solid stuff.
RIHA - V
The seminal blog A Closer Listen introduces us to a treasure of a Georgian composer, Rati Oniani (RIHA). It’s a magically weird amalgam of metal, Svan folk, and baroque music. The absolute diamonds one can find in this city never cease to amaze me. You can read the article here: https://acloserlisten.substack.com/p/v
Upupayāma - Honesty Flowers
From the band’s Bandcamp site: “‘Mount Elephant’ is organic psychedelia at its finest. These are drifting, pastoral meditations rooted in the “joy and rhythms” of Eastern music and one of the most precious luxuries of our time: doing things slowly. Italian multi-instrumentalist Alessio Ferarri’s third Upupuyāma record and first on Fuzz Club finds inspiration in traditional Bhutanese music, Thai…
“Nihil durare potest tempore perpetuo, Cum bene sol nituit, redditur oceano, Decrescit Phoebe, quae modo fuit, Ventorum feritas saepe fit aura levis.”
Ancient graffiti found in the ruins of Pompeii. (CIL IV.9123)
“Nothing can last forever, Once the sun has shone, it returns beneath the sea, The moon, once full, eventually wanes, The violence of the winds often turns into a light breeze.”
