Code Ascending

Another Bandcamp link, sent our way by Fabio......this one has a review, so here it be:

While in between musical projects, James Harrison (Drummer - Air Formation/You Walk Through Walls/Monster Movie) started writing songs and creating a sound. Putting together the band, recruiting Alex and Laurence, they have been busy refining their live set. Their sound is a huge noisy onslaught of bass driven alternative shoegaze

soft Machine Boots

These come from longtime friend MD Milner, good boots from early Soft Machine......here is his description if you wish, I find it pretty on-spot:

Hey Scott,
How's things? There's been some cool stuff on your blog lately, I especially dug that Sonic Youth session. It's been a while since I emailed over some boots, so I thought I'd remedy that a bit. Here's three boots of Soft Machine. Are you familiar with them? These are pretty cool, kind of psychedelic jazzy; reminds me a lot of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. Hope you and your readers enjoy!

soft machine - 1971-03-15, Het Turfschip, Breda, Netherlands.zip
soft machine - 1974-03-13, Crouse College, Syracuse, NY.zip
soft machine - 1975-11-26, Cinema Varietes, Marseille, France.zip

hope ya love these, soon as I fix my disc drive I'll post Soft Machine's legendary and great "Third", an all-time five star classic.....till then, enjoy these, thanks to MM!

Subsonic Eye

From Singapore, here comes Subsonic Eye with more of that great post-punk, post-psych shoegazin'
rock......this is a good one as well, again, I recommend this one.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An album written and recorded out of teenage angst, lust and growing up, “Strawberry Feels” is an album held close to our hearts. It's a collection of love letters, exciting novels and sad short stories that we wish to share with you guys. 

Best characterized by the quote, "happy music for sad people", we hope to share our music with as many people as we can and push through the struggles of being a band in a small country. 

We hope you like it.

Kindling/Kestrels split EP

Kindling we've had here before, not Kestrels......the here is each band performs an original and a cover......pretty good, this was quite a surprise gem today.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The tight-knit friendship between Stephen Pierce of Western Massachusetts shoegazers,KINDLING and Chad Peck of Nova Scotia’s Kestrels has spanned years and miles. It is only right that the two would share a seamless split EP.
Each band contributed an original track, asWELL as a cover. Kindling were giddy at the opportunity to play out “Can’t Hardly Wait” by The Replacements and Kestrels sprawled out an upbeat version of My Bloody Valentine’s “Thorn”. Kestrels’ original track, “Octavio” stands as an outtake to their 2016 self-titled LP, but its pronounced urgency rises as a stand out anthem.

Cold Beat

This is a contribution from an anonymous California source, as California being home of electronic goth rockers Cold Beat.......kind of an 80's vibe to this, but pretty good, as I don't place suckish discs on my fuckin blog!

Fotoform

Yeah, I liked this one a good bit, lot of good stuff coming out of late IMO.....from Seattle, some more of that
dreamy postpunk stuff that I like so much lately.......a small review comes from their Bandcamp page, but this is certainly worth your effort.


http://www56.zippyshare.com/v/xzwCH825/file.html
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seattle’s Fotoform create beautiful guitar-based dreamy post-punk, picking up from where their previous incarnation as C’est la Mort left off. Taking their name from a mid-century photography movement, Fotoform recall the gauzy atmospheres of the UK with the immediacy of US indie and post-punk.
Kim House: bass, vocals
Geoff Cox: guitars
Garrett Croxon: drums
Stephen Jones/Greg Forschler: guitars
