Moon Wheel: "Prosopagnosia"

Artist: MOON WHEEL
WR024
Limited and silkscreened 7inch Release date: 31th Oct Tracklisting
SIde A: Surinam
Side B: Prosopagnosia
After the successful "Foxes in Fiction/ Benoit Pioulard" 7inch Wool Recordings invites Moon Wheel to join his limited single club.This new record will also be silkscreened and very limited.
Moon Wheel is the solo project of former Melbourne resident Olle Holmberg. A former member of Pissypaw. Holmberg has strong connections with some of Melbourne’s stranger pop groups including Superstar and Fabulous Diamonds. He has a debut solo cassette due through Not Not Fun Records. Holmberg’s cerebral, shape-shifting compositions are inspired by “nature, history and wandering”, and synthesize electronic and organic sounds. As each piece is largely improvisational, his live performances do not recreate his repertoire, but rather experiment with creation as a process of discovery.
Press: International Tapes:
but it’s already beyond doubt that this is an artist we should keep an eye on. “Aleifr” is a dense, captivating tune with its slightly muffled synth setup and the subtly tribal rhythm, a murky and unsettling piece of psych that would be perfect for scoring the tension rising while the anxious cops are preparing for their night shift out on the unpredictable streets.
Beats per Minute:
"Somewhere between dub, drone, David Attenborough documentaries, and the hazy psychedelia of fellow Not Not Fun alumnus Cankun is Olle Holmberg from Melbourne, who records under the appropriately cosmic moniker Moon Wheel and has just released his debut self-titled cassette"
Sound of Confusion:
If you are a fan of German electronic music, you will enjoy what Moon Wheel has to offer, as it sounds like early Kraftwerk where the mixture of analog synthesizers and authentic percussion helps to bring both elements out into the open. The minimalist qualities of songs such as “ÁlæifR”, “Arecaceae”, and “Brontide” help to lure things to the progressive rock side of things, but that’s where things get slightly blurred.

Moon Wheel: "Surinam"

Mai Mai Mai is a solo project by Toni C., member Hiroshima Rocks Around and Trouble vs. Glue. He also runs the NO=FI Recordings and co-runs the Dal Verme Club in Rome. 
Mai Mai Mai is the materialization of a travel in time and space, a mix of drone and ambient, steamy and phat techno beats, field recordings and soundscapes on the border between East and West. 

After the debut Theta LP (Boring Machines, 2013), Delta is his second release and second part of his journey across the Mediterranean Sea, through hidden memories, old unconscious and sounds of past experiences, put together and mixed today using tapes, synths and sequencers. We land on a stormy night and the tale of this new adventure begins. Sounds here got more confident and mature, like a personal soundtrack of an inner sailing to Elsewhere.
This time our man is not alone either as he shares his trip with new fellows who are gonna leave a mark on Delta: Gianni Giublena Rosacroce and his clarinet, Cannibal Movie’s Donato Epiro’s organs, and Piovs and his Moog. 
Recorded and mixed in Rome by Fisik and Mai Mai Mai at Hombrelobo Studio between Dec 2013 and Jan 2014.

Out on 24 May (the very same day of the Thargelia party in old Athens), Delta comes on manila-colored die-cut discobags, with full-color labels and insert on tracing paper, all housed in strong, picture-disc-like PVC sleeve.
One-time pressing limited to 500 with artwork by S. Anhayt.

Temples 'Move With The Season' (Tom Furse Extrapolation Remix)

produced by L'Orange, vocals by Kool Keith.
from the upcoming Mello Music Group album "Persona" 3/10
https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/persona/id952541263

Ever feel 7 foot 13 and Green? Yeah, Kool Keith does.  MMG producer L'Orange opens the gate to another realm on this new song from the upcoming Mello Music Group album "Persona."  L'Orange's Haunting vocal sample and stutter step drums prod UltraMan to contemplate just how he feels - luckily Kool Keith has no shortage of descriptors.  Sometimes Keith feels happy to stuff the ball in the basket and get two points; sometimes Keith feels rap is his puppet on strings; sometimes he's mostly jolly chillin' on the couch to poli.  The marriage of L'Orange's left of center heroine nod, prohibition era sampling, noirscape production with Kool Keith's legendary Ultramagnetic founding, creator of Billy Miligan split personality sci-fi rap - aka Dr. Octagon, aka Black Elvis, aka Dr. DOOM, aka Tashawn Dorsett, aka Crazy Lou, aka Poppa Large, aka, Keith Korg, aka Mr. Gerbik, or just plain Mr. Thronton to some, is just plain as blissful as Kanye & Kim on a motorcycle riding through the grand canyon.  The point is, let your mind wander while you listen to this new gem from L'Orange & Kool Keith.

Michael Chapman 
50
LP/CD/Digital
PoB-29
Worldwide Release Date: 1/16/17

http://www.paradiseofbachelors.com/michael-chapman

After five decades of recording and touring, veteran British songwriter and guitar sage Michael Chapman has finally made what he calls his “American record,” and the aptly titled 50 now stands as his late career masterwork, a moving legacy statement by a legend. Backed by a collaborative group of friends and acolytes—Steve Gunn (who also produced), Nathan Bowles (Pelt), James Elkington (Jeff Tweedy), Jason Meagher (No-Neck Blues Band), Jimi SeiTang (Rhyton), and fellow UK songwriting luminary Bridget St John—Chapman tears into both bold renderings of new songs and radical reinterpretations of material from his revered catalog, the crack band adeptly scaling the same rarefied sonic heights of classic Harvest albums like Fully Qualified Survivor, guided by a true survivor’s instinct, wit, and wisdom. The result is a sublime chiaroscuro self-portrait, more shadow than light, as an invigorated Chapman wrestles with weighty themes of travel, memory, mortality, and redemption, his world-weary whispers assuming the incandescent power of prophecy. Deluxe package includes tip-on jacket, printed inner sleeve, lyrics, and download card with two bonus tracks.  

A master guitarist and songwriter ... The godfather of experimental rock guitar … Calls to mind the fabled intricacy of Pentangle heavy-hitters John Renbourn and Bert Jansch, the muscular authority of Jimmy Page, and the maverick edge of Roy Harper, without once compromising its own indisputably Chapman-esque character. Anyone who thinks Jim O’Rourke was the first to combine rock structures, world-weary vocals, American Primitive-tinged guitar instrumentals, and avant-garde noise interludes is in for a shock. – MOJO 

A world-class songwriter. Terrifically unpredictable … beyond any genre tag. – Pitchfork

He shreds on acoustic guitar the way Kandinsky wails with a paintbrush. – Thurston Moore  

Acute emotional reporting in a gruff seaman-poet's voice, supported by the quiet ingenious strength of his acoustic-guitar motifs. – Rolling Stone

A master … a distinctive talent who stands comparisons to John Fahey. – Uncut

The sound of a real songwriter who's lived a real life and all that entails. – Q

The Blind Shake 
Celebrate Your Worth
133GONE
Out October 21st, 2016

The Blind Shake, three intense men from Minneapolis creating
dense, mystical music: in 1974, Bernie Taupin, feeling on top
of the world as Elton John’s “Rocket Man” soared up the charts
in 1972, suffered a sudden sense of vertigo outside the Spanish
villa where he was vacationing. In a beam of black light he saw
and heard the future of the future, a loud vision of The Blind
Shake, making music that made Elton John’s “starman as everyman”
song seem like so much pastel tissue paper, wet and dissolving
in a pretty porcelain toilet.

The real deal, 'Celebrate Your Worth' is an intense web of
connections of bands and sounds unknown to Taupin, strange
sounds from Chrome through Bailter Space through Michael
Yonkers and John Reis and with tendrils extending throughout
an incredible universe of fantastic unknown bands and sounds.
“What the hell am I doing?” Taupin cries, now on his knees,
staring at the sky. Witness the Blind Shake in all their mystical,
wonderful strangeness and energy.

Bobbypin ~ "DWS" song premier and Interview: http://www.musicallyproper.com/blogall/bobbypin-song-premier-and-interview 

"I wrote it initially because I had just moved to my own apartment by myself in a pretty rough part of the city and there were just a lot of dark characters on the streets at night, and it was a bit unsettling at times. But since then every time I sing it, it takes on a completely different meaning. I like that. I feel like the imagery could mean so many things to different people."

"DWS" P R E M I E R

In the late 1920s Salvador Dali, surrealist film maker Luis Buñuel and Federico Garcia Lorca, the poet who would later be executed by the fascists, were rebeling against all conventions. 
They used to call "putrids" to those who were stuck in their ways or had a rancid mentality, following absurd social norms and forcing their archaic morality upon others.
I met some putrids. I made a song about them.
