Oct 19 - Oct 31 listening

Betty Davis - Betty Davis (1973) - ”a petite figure with an oversized afro, [Betty] was the true innovator of punk-funk beats as well as vulgo queen style, and this album is genre-defining”

Lindstrøm - It's Alright Between Us As It Is (2017) - “pleasant but powerful dance workouts”

CTMF -  Brand New Cage (2017) - “Wild Billy Childish tries once again to recapture the spirit of 77 with CTMF, and succeeds for the fifth time in a row”

Ariel Pink - Dedicated to Bobby Jameson (2017) - “Refining the gonzo pop-collages of his previous work, Ariel Pink crafts an immersive, intimate record, marked by solitude”

Vagabon - Infinite Worlds (2017) - “28 minutes of uncompromising and effortless genre-bending”

All Them Witches - Sleeping Through the War (2017) - “continues to showcase their southern swagger of bluesy, soulful, hard psychedelic rock charm”

Girl Ray - Earl Grey (2017) - “The influence of shambly 1990s indie such as Pavement and, most obviously, Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci is clear on their winningly gauche debut”


Corridor - Supermercado (2017) - "upfront, dissonant guitars upheld by minimal beats and syncopated bass lines ... Supermercado leans on repeated strong melodies, slow progressions, bolstered by two distinct voices, yielding a more hypnotic, sharper, and strangely, poppier result."

Supersister - To the Highest Bidder (1971) -  “full of imaginative playing, cute melodies, erotized nursery rhymes, soft flute grooviness and atmospheric keyboards.”

Heldon - It's Always Rock 'n' Roll (1975) - “The band investigates the possibilities of tortured synthetizers and dissonnant Frippian guitars.”

Jem Targal - Luckey Guy (1978) - “The sparsely arranged, squeakily sung, barely “rock” songs on this album show a surprising pop sense.”

Third Power - Believe (1970) - “The band's power trio sound is reminiscent of Cream, with Targal's vocals a match for those of the late Jack Bruce”

Dr. Philter Banx - Insertion In Middle "C" ‎(1975) -  “Mad experimental cosmic rock LP"
