By now Envy's influence on various strains of underground music has been cemented – and reiterated by artists as varied as Thursday, Mogwai, Deafheaven, MONO, and Touché Amoré. With legacy comes expectation, and expectation often breeds complacency. It takes only 20 seconds into opener "Blue Moonlight" for Envy to dispose of the gentle, lilting guitar figures that have marked much of their past couple albums. So begins the journey that is Atheist's Cornea, their first album in five years.

Despite its relative brevity (at 43 minutes it is Envy's shortest album since their early 90s thrash days), Atheist's Cornea is easily the band's most progressive work. Beginning with a punishing pummel, holes of light are gradually punched open to reveal an uncanny series of dynamic, emotionally charged epics. Not only does Atheist’s Cornea showcase some wholly unexpected new turns for Envy, it also often reaches transcendent heights that could overwhelm a major blockbuster film — all while vocalist Tetsuya Fukagawa sings, screams, and speaks like his life depended on it.

Atheist's Cornea is the purest, most distilled example of Envy's brand of brilliance. It is also their bravest album, taking new risks with a much welcomed, broader vocal palette — the stripped-bare confessions of "Ticking Time and String" are particularly revelatory — and an instrumental experimentation that navigates blistering shifts from impenetrable noise to poetic, pin-drop introspection with astounding grace. Envy have finally mastered the art of being effective and efficient without sacrificing an ounce of either – a truly inspired evolution from a band whose mastery of both remains unparalleled.

Zombi - Shadow Hand

Artist: Parlour 
Title: New Syntax Preserves
Album: Parlour 
Release Date: June 17, 2016

Pre-order CD / LP: parlour.bandcamp.com/album/parlour

If there is one constant with Parlour, it is that nothing is ever the same. For nigh two decades, the Louisville, KY experimental troupe – led by Tim Furnish of influential, defunct Louisville art-rock band, Crain – has had more line-up changes than albums. This consistent creative movement keeps the sound of Parlour forever curious, and impossible to predict. While that flies in the face of conventional wisdom for commercial prospects, it unquestionably makes for more compelling and mercurial music.
On the band’s self-titled fourth album, Parlour pushes ferocious, dynamic guitar rock to the brink with hypnotic repetition and shifting, stabbing rhythms. In fierce Parlour fashion, the driving crunch of guitars is punctuated with shimmering buzz of synths. The difference here, though, is Parlour has shed their trademark woodwinds in favor of a leaner, heavier aesthetic. With a reduced instrumental palette and increased focus on beats and riffs, the songs are more naked and intense – equal parts crashing krautrock, and crushing prog-rock.

Parlour - New Syntax Preserves

Artist: Zammuto
Title: My Dog's Eyes
Album: Veryone EP
Release Date: July 12, 2016

Buy: https://zammuto.bandcamp.com/album/veryone

Over the past few months Nick Zammuto has been digging back into his seemingly endless backlog of rare tapes and LPs collected during the Books’ tours from 2005-2011. Veryone compiles the first three tracks that mark the beginning of a new line of sample-oriented work that Zammuto plans to develop into a full-length album in 2017. Of this new work, Zammuto says, “In many ways it feels like coming home.”

“My Dog’s Eyes” is based on an outdated list of children’s favorite things. Zammuto took each image, found its rhythmic heartbeat and intrinsic melody, and put them in order of increasing tempo as a structural basis for the track. He then composed additional instrumentation around this structure, in the process revealing the natural cadence and harmony within each phrase.

On “It Can Feel So Good,” Zammuto built a tuned array of PVC pipes and a device that holds a small speaker in the optimal position for re-recording sounds though them (pictured on the Veryone's cover). Using Zammuto’s well- documented, innovative record-scratching process, unique vinyl rhythms were pushed through the pipes to create the rhythmic and melodic structures of the track. He coupled this with a beautiful voice from a vintage meditation tape from the 1970s, chopped and tuned to match the pipe resonances. A portion of this track originally appeared in the 'New Now' episode of Adult Swim's show Off The Air.

For the final track, “Smolt,” Zammuto guitarist, Nick Oddy, donated an old Epiphone SG electric guitar, of which Nick Zammuto removed the frets. By tuning, pitching and delaying improvisations on the fretless guitar, Zammuto sequenced a number of interlocking melodies and rhythms. An old choral tape sample, which happened to be in the same key as the guitar, became the counterpoint. To complete the piece, a lot of 'noise' from recordings of rain and fire were adapted as a kind of “smoldering” backdrop.

Artist: Tangents
Title: Oberon
Album: Stateless
Release Date: July 8, 2016

Pre-Order: https://tangents.bandcamp.com/album/stateless

Stateless is the second full-length album of genre-hopping	post-everything	experimentalists Tangents. In a delectable hybrid of styles, Stateless cuts up and weaves together rich instrumental passages from the multi-talented ensemble of musicians whose collective resumé spans decent swathes of recent experimental music history: British electronic music producer Ollie Bown (Icarus, Not Applicable); Adrian Lim-Klumpes (Triosk, 3ofMillions) on piano, Rhodes, vibraphone and marimba; Peter Hollo (FourPlay String Quartet) on cello; and the duo Spartak (free improviser Evan Dorrian and singer/producer Shoeb Ahmad on drums and guitar respectively). Sparse metal-coated drum hits stumble over glistening reverse vibes, Saharan guitar licks, Fender feedback and washes of filtered piano. Moments of acoustic jazz surface, flowing into stoic upbeat anthems, drenched with multilayered patterns of glitched strings.

Artist: MY DISCO
Title: Our Decade (Regis Mix)
Album: Severe Remixes
Release Date: August 26, 2016

Order: https://mydisco.bandcamp.com/album/severe-remixes

The stark, sinister minimalism of Australia’s MY DISCO is one of the most genuine and chilling examples of psychedelic music in the world right now. Their most realized album to date, Severe, gets remixed by a pair of producers whose work is equally as grave and intense: Regis, and Lustmord.
Regis takes MY DISCO’s penchant for heavy repetition and hammers it into nightmarish factory filth on “Our Decade (Regis Mix)”. On the flip side, Lustmord returns – on the eve of his first new album in over a decade – with a 12- minute, slow-burning meditation on the resonant space between MY DISCO’s iconic, pounding stabs. Taken as a whole, these remixes take the deceptively sparse few elements MY DISCO’s music, and push them to a terrifying precipice. It is that terror, that feeling of uneasiness and pitch-black confusion that makes them ideal companions to the original tracks that make up MY DISCO’s aptly-named Severe.

MY DISCO – Our Decade (Regis Remix)

Artist: Eluvium
Title: Rorschach Pavan
Album: False Readings On
Release Date: September 2, 2016

Order: store.temporaryresidence.com/products/trr265

Cognitive dissonance is, at this point, an everyday part of modern society. The difference between belief and reality is blurrier than ever, and there is often sufficient manipulation to both so as to make the distinction intentionally unclear. The source of those manipulations can either be external, or deceptively internal.

False Readings On is the new album from renowned experimental composer, Eluvium. Its creation was originally inspired by themes of cognitive dissonance in modern society. By its conclusion it had become a mirror rather than a magnifying glass, evolving into an hour-long meditation on self-doubt, anxiety, and separation from one's self.

There is an emotional lucidity and melodic ingenuity to Eluvium's music that has made him increasingly stand out from the sea of ambient artists that his earlier albums no doubt helped inspire. Sounding like an orchestra ceaselessly performing even as it sinks beneath an ocean of distortions and tape noise – with the occasional operatic voice piercing the surface – False Readings On is assuredly the most daring, dynamic, and distinct album of his luminous career.

False Readings On

Eluvium – Rorschach Pavan

Another track from Köhn's new album 'Kreis Plön', out on KRAAK, on the 9th of June. Pre-order at kraak.bandcamp.com.

Almost 20 years ago Jürgen De Blonde debuted on KRAAK with the nowadays unfindable and almost visionary album köhn 1. It was the starting point for a vital and wondrous exploration that lead him over paths of glitch, idm, shoe gaze, hypnagogic pop, improvised music, straight forward synth music, field recordings and kraut. 

In the middle of this ungraspable adventure through contemporary electronic music, Köhn stands as a genuine artist that stayed true to the curious spirit of the DIY knob twiddling and boggling boy he once was. 

KRAAK is proud to present his 7th album on KRAAK — Kreis Plön, which documents and envisions 20 years of exploring. It’s an album that is about a fusion of the past and the future, of separation and reconfiguration, of mourning and rejoicing, of noise and peace. Kreis Plön is about geolocation. It’s about probable fiction and looking for bits of different puzzles that fit together. An exercise in linear and perpendicular coherence devoid of any objective logic. 

In the middle of the album an artist is envisioning his place in the Now, questioning how or when he got there, as he links memories to imaginary places, and real places to imaginary histories. Kreis Plön stands as such a masterpiece that bluntly envisions the future of electronic music.

A Place To Bury Strangers - Frustrated Operator (Slowdive Remix)

Artist: Bellini
Title: Being Married
Album: Before The Day Has Gone
Release Date: July 27, 2018

Pre-Order: www.temporaryresidence.com/products/trr302

A decade is literally a lifetime for most bands. For Italian-American post-punk stalwarts, Bellini, it is simply the time it took to make their new album. Separated by an ocean, the members of Bellini lived their lives, mourned several close friends who lost theirs, and occasionally converged in Italy or Chicago to write and record what would become Before The Day Has Gone. Recorded as always by longtime collaborator and companion, Steve Albini, Before The Day Has Gone’s roots are in tracks that were originally laid to tape at Albini’s Electrical Audio Studios way back in 2012, where they sat until fall of 2017, awaiting completion. Albini mixed and sequenced the album independently, as Bellini has preferred with all of their albums since 2005’s Small Stones. Bellini’s gift for marrying melody and dissonance is as sharp as ever on Before The Day Has Gone – the band’s veteran rhythm section of Matthew Taylor and Alexis Fleisig anchoring Tilotta’s sinewy anti-riffs and Cacciola’s primal punk poetry. Bellini deliver passion and pain with the kind of pride and prowess one would expect from a band of their pedigree, and Before The Day Has Gone is their most dramatic and dizzying display of their two-decade career.
