Peel Dream Magazine is the nom de plume of New York City-based musician Joe Stevens. A nod to BBC Radio 1 legend John Peel, arbiter of all things underground, Peel Dream Magazine is highly evocative of a certain strain of independent music. Stevens harkens back to the early 1990s, when The Velvet Underground resurged as an inspiration to a new set of bands wielding synthesizers, off-set guitars, and a political bent. The Peel Dream experience is defined by a gentle, fuzzy psychedelia —it’s a hypnotic bit of mod-ish lo-fi pop, recalling the best of early Stereolab, Lilys, and other shaggy haired kids with vintage fuzz pedals, slim trousers, and good record collections.

Written and recorded over a four-week period in the fall of 2017, Peel Dream Magazine’s debut album "Modern Meta Physic" fixates on the New Age universe of the Catskills region of New York. Stevens deals in esoteric bohemian fare — Far East philosophy, Native American tradition, mid-century modern cool — as he appraises the world according to privileged urban expats who increasingly call the upstate paradise home.

Leading off the album, "Qi Velocity" is a metronomic take on French pop that yields to a lush chorus reminiscent of Belle and Sebastian. “Deetjen's," named after the much-loved bed & breakfast in Big Sur, would fit snugly on Unrest's best Teen Beat material. "Due to Advances in Modern Tourism" displays a soft take on Neu!, while the organ that enters could be a sly wink to Steve Reich's "Four Organs.”

There is an economy to these tracks — everything is distilled down to it’s essential elements, no gestures are wasted, no superfluous ornamentation taking up space. While Stevens is more than happy to show his influences on his sleeve — mind you, they're great influences — it's clear Peel Dream Magazine isn't just a “sound." The guy can write songs. Where he goes next is anybody's guess.

Klaus Johann Grobe "Discogedanken" (Trouble In Mind Records)

"ethereal froth scudding across the sky
the sunset cleanses today, leaving it glowing
shining water, silent waves"

aspidistrafly is a Singapore-based unit comprising of April Lee (vocal, programming) and Ricks Ang (guitar, programming). Since 2006, their participations in media art installations &amp; performances have gained attention for their sound and visual works. aspidistrafly have been regarded as one of the new wave of artists to emerge from Asia other than from Japan.

"i hold a wish for you" is their anticipated first full album. Drawing references to Banana Yoshimoto's literary classic "Moonlight Shadow", aspidistrafly weaves through the solitary atmosphere of the novel with their own narratives inspired by several excursions outside the confines of their immediate surroundings.  This latest release invokes delicate moments with nine tracks that combine acoustic instrumentation across April's warm vocal harmonies, soft floating textures and binaural field recordings. "i hold a wish for you" is an invitation to travel with sound through lyrical melodies and pastoral sonic scapes.

'Refined and robust, these well organized aural assemblages give ample animation and seriousness to the light and prosaic elements of the everyday' – Cyclic Defrost (Australia)

'Lovely collection on both sonic and visual grounds. aspidistrafly's transporting music glistens like sunlight passing through a spider web on a damp summer morning. Listeners whose taste runs from Sawako to Akira Kosemura will do themselves a grave disservice if i hold a wish for you doesn't immediately become a part of their collections' – Textura (Canada)

'With an eye for details like Taylor Deupree, it's in the vain of the Japanese musician Piana. "i hold a wish for you" is an overall a nice album which with the amazing artwork becomes something not to miss out on.' (8/10) – EARLabs (Netherlands)

'it feels like a soundtrack of sorts to the wonderful literary universe of Murakami in a sense – both present and down-to-earth, unassuming and kind, yet also retaining some mysterious, delicate qualities to distinguish aspidistrafly’s music from their peers' – Soundscaping (Norway)

'Its not easy to pin down aspidistrafly’s music into a specific genre, which of course is a good thing. Can you imagine Richard Chartier playing dreamy pop music? With some female vocalist? Well, there you go. I’d say aspidistrafly is microsound and pop.' – Vital Weekly (Netherlands)

'music like this would get assigned mawkish adjectives such as “ethereal”, “dreamy” and every other word used to describe a dimension beyond this one—except that in aspidistrafly’s case, the dimension is very much Planet Earth, and its lifeblood is the fountain of human imagination that refreshes all who draw from it.' - Junk Magazine (Malaysia)

My love, that girl
She's somewhere
But for now
She's locked away

She's locked in my head
You're locked in my head
Left her in her bed
Surfing home

And I need
Her colors
All over my skin

Made love in her bed
Remains in my head
I think they want me dead

She finds it hard to stay
(Hard to stay)
She finds it hard to leave 
(Hard to leave)

LYRICS:
Was in the way you put your coffee down
there was something on your chest

The days keep dragging on and on
I got a bag of old regrets

You said the whole shebang
The crumbly bits
Aw babe I want much more than this
Okay sera, sera, sera, sera

Don’t go, don’t go
Don’t go making something out of nothing
Don’t go
What do you think it would change?

In a dream you saw a memory
Held a sign that said confess
Nostalgia she’s a shit disease
It’s a shame to reminisce

I want hippie love
Future sex
5am French cigarettes
Okay, okay, okay sera sera

Don’t go, don’t go
Don’t go making something out of nothing
Don’t go
What do you think it would change?

Maybe I’m not enough
It's all coming around again
Maybe I’m not enough

Don’t go making something out of nothing
Don’t go making something out of nothing
What do you think
What do you think it would change?

Daniel Brandt, co-founder of acclaimed German ensemble Brandt Brauer Frick, is set to release his second solo album via Erased Tapes on October 12th. Called 'Channels', the new record follows the release of the London and Berlin based producer’s solo debut Eternal Something from 2017.

The seven-track LP is Brandt’s biggest statement yet, with the album’s thrilling avant-garde framework interweaving chord-driven techno, orchestral flourishes, rich electronic textures and hints of dark cinematic pop. Following on from Eternal Something, which captured a contemplative kind of isolationism, with Channels Brandt set out to create an album that captures the essence of minimalism whilst lending it to a more playful context. 

Intricate floor-filler and lead track ‘Flamingo’ synthesises the measured pacing of Detroit techno with an orchestral background. As with all of the tracks on Channels, ‘Flamingo’ began life as a sketch with very basic instrumentation, before taking it into the studio to rehearse with his band members, giving the album a live and visceral sound that sets it apart from his debut; “It was a great experience to do it this way as I have always wanted to have the chance to try out something in a live setting before recording it in the studio and not the other way round,” explains Daniel. “The actual typical rock band recording style that I never had the chance to do before.”

With Brandt also being skilled as a filmmaker, directing and producing visuals for BBF and Eternal Something, much of the new album’s creative ideas reference a rich visual palette. He directed the video for ‘Flamingo’, a sideways glance at the art world that takes the concept behind John Cage’s 4’33” and turns it on its head. 

“The video for Flamingo is deliberately non performance — people sitting in a room and watching basically nothing, never really sure if anything is ever going to happen. It’s also a play on John Cage’s 4’33”, except in this instance there isn’t even a performer present.” — Daniel Brandt

Daniel’s passion for film even prompted him to kick start his own online television channel Strrr.tv in 2017 that since attracted a lot of attention with guest moderators including BBC Radio DJ Gilles Peterson, modular synth legend Suzanne Ciani and Berghain bouncer Sven Marquardt counting amongst the most popular episodes. 

Recorded between Berlin and London, Channels is a deeply enthralling listening experience, which sees Daniel Brandt build upon his distinctive percussive sound whilst exploring new and expansive horizons.

Praise for Daniel’s previous album, Eternal Something:
“Propulsive, tense, and entirely mesmerizing” 7.6 — Pitchfork
“An evocative ray of multi-instrumentalism” 9/10 — DJ Mag
“A fizz bomb of overlapping ideas” — Record Collector
“Utterly abstract and wholly melodic” — Clash
“A cracker”  — Electronic Sound

This is a reasonably new combo kicking around the local brisbane dives. Featuring Screamin Stevie Zillman on Singin, Organ and Harmonica. Formally from Bris/Melb garage stalwarts the HEKAWIS. Screamin Stevie has assembled one tight little garage rock combo behind him with two guitarists bass and drums. This album covers everything from Women to Acid and all the paranoia's associated with the two. This is organ drivin' madness at its best! Great songs with wailing guitars and flawless back up harmonies. Led by a man in a cape the one and only Screamin' Stevie
