New #review today: "For those unfamiliar with #JohnHoward, the British #SingerSongwriter first emerged in the mid-70s with the now highly regarded Kid in a Big World. Although commercial success eluded him at the time, his work has enjoyed a remarkable revival in recent decades, leading to a steady stream of new recordings and reissues. His latest release, Overnight Bags, is a deeply personal collection of eleven songs." #ExposeOnline #ThinkLikeAKeyRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/john-howard-overnight-bags-6.html

New #review today: "#EllingUlvestad is a songwriter from the Planet Earth who leads a band called #Molo. Several years ago, I wrote about the album Earthsongs, and now we have the band’s second album, This Is Earth. The primary feature of the new album is that the quality of the songwriting remains at the same high level — these are just good songs presented with relatively few extraneous frills." #ExposeOnline #ApollonRecords #SingerSongwriter http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/molo-this-is-earth-2.html

#ThrowbackThursday review from 1995: "A Dutch quartet of guitar, bass, drums and woodwinds, this is #Blast's second release (the first being the hopelessly obscure Puristsirup from 1993), and the first for #CuneiformRecords. While their music is ostensibly rock based, they seem to pull more than their share of influence from the more recent proponents of #ChamberRock' the early abstractions of #HenryCow..." #ExposeOnline #AvantProgressive http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/blast-wire-stitched-ears-3.html

New #review today: "#Chafouin (translation: Sly) is a French experimental noise-pop-rock trio (though sometimes a duo and sometimes a quartet), but when the band leader #lAustral decided to expand to an octet, he rechristened the band #ChafouinOrchestra, and this is their self-titled debut.

New #review today: "Back on their 2012 album A Little Bit of Big Bonanza, #BushmansRevenge covered #SonnySharrock’s “As We Used to Sing,” and that gives us a good idea where they get their idea of jazz from. On Ah, les Vaches! they carry on in the same basic vein they’ve been mining for as long as I’ve been aware of them. At one end of the spectrum, they play loose, noisy #jazz in Sharrock’s idiom, and at the other, they drift off into effects-laden atmospheric haze." #ExposeOnline #AvantJazz #KarismaRecords #IsItJazzRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/bushmans-revenge-ah-les-vaches-2.html

New #review today: "#TheWinterResidence is the latest collaboration between British multi-instrumentalist #MikeSeed and #RLoftiss of #TheGrayFieldRecordings. Their debut album, How the Night Falls, presents eleven tracks in just under forty minutes, traversing territory somewhere between #DarkFolk, #wyrdfolk, hauntological folk, and experimental #folktronica. Ethereal vocals drift through indistinct electronic textures, #FieldRecordings, and spectral atmospheres that often seem to exist at the edge of perception." #ExposeOnline #ElectronicMusic #ExperimentalMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/the-winter-residence-how-the-night-falls-6.html

New #review today: "If you’re familiar with previous #CabezasDeCera music, you will immediately notice that #Metaensamble leans toward the more delicate, acoustic side of their identity, without any of the aggressive and distorted #KingCrimson oriented sounds, though it’s far from being wimpy plucking and pretty melodies." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #ExperimentalMusic #MathRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/cabezas-de-cera-metaensamble-2.html

New #review today: "As with most of #Corima’s music, Hunab Ku consists of a number of tracks (seven in this case) which comprise a continuous piece of music, with recurring motifs and moods, but all working together as a unified statement. Anyone familiar with Corima’s particular brand of #zeuhl will be at home here." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #AvantProg http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/corima-humab-ku-2.html

New #review today: "The Italian #ProgressiveRock band #SigmundFreud, formed in the summer of 1972, was inspired by the harmonious melodies and enchanted songs by their contemporaries. They recorded for two labels but were never able to get it all together to record an album. Fifty years later, through the encouragement of #BlackWidowRecords, they were able to realize their dream after re-mastering and re-recording the music with a few tweaks here and there." #ExposeOnline http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/sigmund-freud-risveglio-6.html

New #review today: "Taking their name from the Canadian media philosopher #MarshallMcLuhan, known for stating that “the medium is the message,” the band #McLuhan formed in Chicago in 1969 as a concept and mixed media group with no specific musical venue or style, which is evident when you listen to their one and only album, Anomaly." #ExposeOnline #ExperimentalMusic #ProgressiveRock #ThinkLikeAKey http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/mcluhan-anomaly-6.html

New #review today: "#Ektör is not exactly a new French band, though Ektöristan is their debut full-length release. On it they present an intriguing blend of styles that makes for enjoyable listening." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #zeuhl #MathRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/ektor-ektoristan-2.html

New #review today: "The #BlackCatsEye is a German band with a different take on #SpaceRock than I’ve heard lately. Rather than basing their music on riffs, they take more after #ManuelGöttsching, with almost #motorik rhythms and a sense of drama that draws from #PostRock. They also have a fondness for odd titles, as with their latest album, Decrypting Dreams of Weird Animals and Strange Objects." #ExposeOnline #PsychedelicRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/the-black-cats-eye-decrypting-dreams-of-weird-animals-and-strange-objects-2.html

New review today: "From the launch of his solo career in ‘68, to his time with #CannedHeat, #JohnMayall, and The #RollingStones, #HarveyMandel has always been an innovator, bringing new techniques and stylings to the world of #BluesRock based electric guitar. In March of this year Mandel had his 80th birthday, and this year released his 23rd solo album; Snake Walk is as powerful and innovative as anything he’s ever done." #ExposeOnline http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/harvey-mandel-snake-walk-3.html

New #review today: "#Rhùn's Tozïh and Tozzos should be considered essential listening for fans of the #Zeuhl sound, taking it in some surprising new directions." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #AvantProgressive http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/rhun-tozzos-3.html

New #review today: "#PaulWilliams’ interests with #ChurchOfHed lie in relating real-world experiences and concepts into music, and like Rivers of Asphalt, which followed the old Route 66, and The Father Road, which took the listener on a coast-to-coast journey on the old Lincoln Highway, Under Blue Ridge Skies takes another #RoadTrip, though a much shorter one, on the Blue Ridge Parkway." #ExposeOnline #ElectronicMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/church-of-hed-under-blue-ridge-skies-3.html

New #review today: "The music of #Koenjihyakkei tends to attract such adjectives as intense, frenetic, and over-the-top. When it comes to #zeuhl-inspired music, this band’s motto has always been “too much is never enough” combined with “anything worth doing is worth over-doing.” Every track is a blast of energy with very little respite for overwhelmed listeners." #ExposeOnline #SkinGraftRecords #ProgressiveRock #AvantProgressive #TatsuyaYoshida http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/koenjihyakkei-live-at-club-goodman-2.html

New Wreview today: "Previously on #WorldSanguineReport, #AndrewPlummer found himself in the company of a group featuring six or more musicians on Skeleton Blush. That was released in 2020, and now WSR is pared down to just #RuthGoller (bass, vocals), #WillGlaser (drums), and #MatthewBourne (harmonium) accompanying Plummer, who sings and plays guitar." #ExposeOnline #ArtRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/world-sanguine-report-songs-from-the-harbour-2.html

New #review today: "Based in the Seattle area, #AeTopus (#BryanHughes) is a composer and electronic sound sculptor. Iota is the follow-up to 2023’s Cup, his second album for Spotted Peccary Music and his twelfth recording overall. By comparison, the new album is a bit more relaxed and gentle, conjuring imagery and introspection, respite and suspension, full of dreamy hypnotic beauty and lush atmospherics." #ExposeOnline #ElectronicMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/aetopus-iota-3.html

New #review today: "#JillFraser is a composer and electronic musician with a background in television, films, and commercials using #Moog, #Buchla, and #Serge modular synthesizers, along with standard analog and digital synthesizers. She studied with #MortonSubotnick, #MelPowell, #JohnCage, and #LouHarrison at Cal Arts." #ExposeOnline #ElectronicMusic #ExperimentalMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/jill-fraser-earthly-pleasures-3.html

New #review today: "It’s been quite a while since we heard from #LeahWaybright—not since Beauty Gone Wild in 1999, in fact. And like that album so long ago, she’s turned to #HappyTheMan alumni #StanWhittaker (guitar) and #RickKennel (bass, drums, percussion) to flesh out her compositions, along with #GaryBlu (woodwinds); in addition, #MarkWood plays violin on one track. The result is much closer to #ProgressiveRock than New Age." #ExposeOnline http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/leah-waybright-dreamed-2.html

New #review today: "#LocationLocationLocation is a jazzy guitar trio that, for me, hits a sweet spot balancing composition and improvisation on their debut, Damaged Goods. While #AnthonyPirog’s guitar is far more mangled, both electronically and harmonically, than is common in jazz, the group’s music is clearly in the vein previously mined by groups led by #RaoulBjörkenheim, #TerjeRypdal, #SonnySharrock, #NelsCline, and others." #ExposeOnline #jazz #AvantJazz #JazzRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/location-location-location-damaged-goods-2.html
