Our release of the week is from DMX Krew, having released albums on Rephlex, Permanent Vacation and Balkan Vinyl, is back again on Hypercolour with a new full length continuing his relentless schedule of late. Spiral Dance serves to perfectly showcase his signature style of analogue electro productions, honed to endure over a career now rightfully spanning nearly 3 decades.
Elsewhere this week:
Danish composer/producer ML Buch follows up her stunning 2020 debut Skinned with an expansive double album of experimental electronica entitled Suntub. Armed with a seven string guitar and forgoing the studio with vocals tracked in her car all throughout Denmark and places like saunas and friends’ homes merely only for space to break out instruments.
Still House Plants are completely locked in on their third album as if they’re cerebrally connected, never faltering through accelerating stop start rhythms and decelerating molten, elastic tempos. David Kennedy’s masterfully restrained drumming, Finlay Clark’s resonating, gauzy guitars, and Jess Hickie-Kallenbach’s captivatingly raw, husky vocals burn with searing honesty, authenticity, and irreverence.
Alongside this we have a repress of their London ally, NTS regular and CURL collective member Coby Sey’s debut album on AD 93 of visceral wordplay at times sly and steely with a poison tongue, at others screaming mantras at full force.
Also landing this week are the signed Special Edition Blu-ray and limited exclusive USB formats of Oneohtrix Point Never’s Bleep Top 10 of 2023 album, Again, the latter featuring bonus track 'My Dream Dungeon Makeover'.
