The Noise Weekly Playlist #1 - Best Music from the week

Dropkick Murphys - Im Shipping Up To Boston

A call to the classics, “Hey There,” reeks of vintage guitar and long hair. A suave bass kicks off the groove when the vocals emerge, introspective and inquisitional in their feel. The lyrics describe an edgy provocateur, thirsty to denounce the first person they lock eyes with. As the scene progresses, a vocal back and forth shapes into a dispute, ultimately escalating to a brawl, until finally the song snaps into gear and initiates the guitar riff. Like two boxers breaking out into song, “Hey There” is both edgy and fun. A perfect tune to roll the windows down to or perhaps, the ideal dive bar anthem; either way, “Hey There” is a jam that creates motion out of stillness. 

Lyrics by Hector Alexander, music by Phantom Phunk. Produced by Hector Alexander. Recorded and mixed by Harmonic Factory Studio, Tampa, FL. Copyright 2016. Mastered by Frank Arkwright Abbey Road Studio.

The Berlin-based producer and artist Steven Warwick presents a unique audio-visual ‘mixtape’ on PAN, compiled of a series of darkly lyrical and sonic musings, as well as personal snapshots, written stories and videos taken across trips whilst residing in LA and Berlin. Arriving as his first musical release under his own name, Warwick (aka Heatsick)’s latest venture also utilises a new sonic repertoire allowing for a new route for his music, “It’s a reset in a way, creatively and emotionally”. 

Titled ‘Nadir’, the release reflects on a somewhat sardonic, and at times melancholic and unsettling mood. Recorded in both Los Angeles, New York and Berlin, it is a soundtrack and document of time spent in and around those environments both urban and rural.

The release is mastered by Rashad Becker at D&M, photography by Ilya Lipkin and artwork by Bill Kouligas.

Steven Warwick - CTFO (PAN 75)

The Israeli producer Yotam Avni, though not one of the main players in the Stroboscopic Artefacts story to date, nevertheless shows that he is definitely here for a reason: having contributed with an entry in the Monad series back in July, he returns with a new set of tracks that fit perfectly into the label’s overall aesthetic of evolving hyper-reality, while also being a strong personal statement. With both his S.A. debut and this new offering, Avni shows himself to be a truly ‘progressive’ musician: a creator whose musical techniques are informed by his creative disposition and not the other way around, an individual who seems to be using the richness and differentiation of human experience in order to let yet more of it arise.
The new record begins with the galloping rhythm of “Tehillim”, bringing a whole inventory of struck wood and metal elements into play, and leading listeners on an adventurous voyage through liturgical chanting and volcanic eruptions of synthesizer magma, all the while being accented with nimble percussive fills that convey the improvisational feel of classic bebop drummers. The following “Orma,” while more stripped down in terms of individual elements, continues down the same path with clever spatial arrangements, and with tonal and percussive elements that seem snatched out of their buys urban environments and placed under austere laboratory investigation: this holds true for the isolated bits of sax and vaguely middle-Eastern percussive accents that distinguish this track, and which leap out mischievously from their carefully controlled setting.
“Shlok” begins with a deep subterranean kick pattern and percolating bell tones that, while first bringing to mind recent efforts from Planetary Assault Systems, soon transform into something much unique to Avni’s imagination - smooth arcing vocals and contrasting shades of nocturnal ambience turn this into a very sinuous and sultry piece of rhythmic music. Once the listener has been lured in by this siren song, the closer “Even” brings the EP’s most forceful and demanding beat - though its heavy punch is tempered with a sense of contemplative sophistication. Once the insistent beat is overlaid by a shimmering latticework of piano, breeze- like pads, and concentrated string plucks, it testifies to Avni’s ability to create tracks that are loaded with emotional nuance and defy easy description.
