ug 55 - NORMAL LOVE "SURVIVAL TRICKS" LP/CD
(co-release with Public Eyesore)


NORMAL LOVE creates bracingly intense modern music of shrewd density and unique imagination orchestrated for processed voices, guitars, violin, drums and various electronics. Everything about the band displays a cultivated air of alien logic, from their densely detailed sonic conception to their surreal, blacklit live presentation. “SURVIVAL TRICKS” is their second full-length release, a culmination of years of work and progression following their self-titled debut released in 2007 on High Two Records. Their sound evokes an epicurean fusion of influences as varied as Modern Classical, “Rock In Opposition” prog, Extreme Metal, Noise, Improvised Music and No Wave. Normal Love is on tour this August!!!

ug 57 - MICROWAVES "PSIONIC IMPEDANCE" LP/CD


‘PSIONIC IMPEDANCE’ is MICROWAVES newest salvo of dystopian guitar riffing, off-kilter drumming, warped electronics and manic vocals. The duo elicits fifteen succinct odes to technological paranoia and decay on this painstakingly dense production. They are loud, they wear uniforms and their equipment looks good. The material on this release consists of intelligently constructed series of angular phrases coupled with obliquely visceral lyrical references, delivered in a highstrung, agitated manner. One might sense a whiff of CHROME, a smattering of DEVO, a grain of GRINDCORE, perhaps a glint of AMREP - whatever signifiers you want to tag on them, this kind of grimy, futuristic noise is i short supply these days. MICROWAVES are prepared to give this dying mudball full of insipid drones what they need: rigor and discipline.
