Label: Iris Records

Dead fan or not (and I’m not) these 12 cherry-picked tunes culled from Jerry Garcia & Robert Hunter’s considerable repertoire form a charming selection of what these legendary song writers and performers are all about. Well produced, good sounding and chock full of guest musicians.

Free Falls Burning - Frenzy Of The Absolute

Free Falls Burning
Frenzy Of The Absolute
Label: Conspiracy Records

This incessantly slow grind and churn outfit pulls out achingly somber yet meditative sonic soliloquies that would leave few standing. Time warping trance etheric tonalities.

HR (of Bad Brains) - Hey Wella

HR (of Bad Brains) - Hey Wella

HR (of Bad Brains)
Hey Wella
Label: DC Underground

This legendary and highly influential Bad Brains vocalist and front man extends his lengthy career (starting in 1978!) with another solo offering, utilizing their time tested signature juxtaposition of hardcore punk and reggae, with hip hop inflections. A slick and well produced release, yet I am under-whelmed.

Legendary Pink Dots - Plutonium Blonde

Legendary Pink Dots - Plutonium Blonde

Legendary Pink Dots
Plutonium Blonde
Label: ROIR

Disquieting platitudes from the sardonic seedy underbelly of pop music adoration. Edward Ka-Spel and crew spin tales of gothic disturbances that uproot and empower unknown musical pathways to your brain.

Infernofonic - Spark It Up

Infernofonic
Spark It Up
Label: Godlyke Distribution

Empowered female vocals from Elaine Tuttle lead the charge for this hard rockin, metal outfit. The big rock riffs and punchy drums blast out some decent grooves, but they shine when flirting their edgier, experimental facets.

Willem Maker - Stars Fell On

Willem Maker - Stars Fell On

Willem Maker
Stars Fell On
Label: Fat Possum Records

Bluesy rock torn from Turkey Heaven Mountain. Written, recorded and mixed entirely by the artist, this balls-out musical journey refuses to be neat and tidy, but shows off powerful reflexive expanses with the structure available.

Two extremely equipped psychedelic musicians from Milwaukee utilize their gaggle of instruments to produce a fascinating albeit quirky electronic soundscape repertoire with rooms and areas to float, groove, slide. A vibrant undercurrent of leading and teasing sound strings tie the listener to the musical affirmations driving the concepts.
