Josephine Foster - 'I'm A Dreamer'

Searing, tormented darkside f**kery from Miles Whittaker and Sean Canty’s Demdike Stare on their rinse and run Testpressing series. On the A-side ‘Fail’ is a slowly descending panic attack of pealing hi-end frequencies and impending bass doom reaching a pit of noisy no return. On the flip, ‘Null Results’ bruks loose with a scything jungle attack; frantic 16th note hi-hats and cone-crumpling subs laced with a rudeboy mentasm to incite warehouse capoeira. Come test.

Null Results

CD version bonus track

La Tène collect, listen and probe folk melodies and motifs of large territories, from the Jura to the mountains of Auvergne, weaving them to repetition and continuous sounds, electronics and frenzy until exhaustion. Their music, drones played with traditional and acoustic instruments is an invitation to the dance frantically, leading to euphoria or trance.

Cyril Bondi and d'incise are well-known swiss experimental musicians. They have a huge panel of collaborative and solo records. Cyril Bondi is also known for his playing in the jazz improv trio Plaistow. They play together in Diatribes.

Alexis Degrenier is a french composer, specialist in tranditionnal and slanted music. Besides his prolofic solo career, he plays in outrenoir, Tanz Mein Herz and Ensemble Minisym that perform Moondog music.

Ecstasies in the Open Air (Polytheistic Fragments)

"Desperate (Trump) Times Demand The Prefab Messiahs!"

Long-time critically acclaimed punkedelic micro-legends THE PREFAB MESSIAHS respond to the current political and social crisis as only they can -- by releasing a new, mind-expanding nugget called “The Man Who Killed Reality!”

In anticipation of their forthcoming new album and following up their surprisingly successful ‘Keep Your Stupid Dreams Alive’ EP (Burger/KLYAM), the new Prefab video is a fully animated neo-Sgt. Pepper-ish audio-visual blast of sonic power sure to hit a nerve with all lovers of truth, justice and catchy psychedelic power pop!

Check it out NOW... before "He" turns off the internet! 

According to the band's singer Xerox Feinberg:
"We didn't have any interest in putting out an obvious PC political message song like cranky old folk singers -- but here we all are, living this notion that predictable rules and standards are totally out the window. It's hard not to be angry and disgusted at the whole system. That sort of led to the main concept of "The Man Who Killed Reality." It's about how there's "no bottom" to how far things can go, if there ever really was. Reality's dead. The arrival of America's First Mad President is just the pus coming out of the boil. Now please enjoy our catchy little psychedelic pop rock ditty!"
