Destruction Unit (Arizona / US) [Sacred Bone Records]

For two years now, the psychedelic Destruction Unit has been keeping the world waiting for a new album. And it’s not because they’ve grown up or gotten soft, rather because they’ve been in the streets and in your backyards, pushing the freek agenda and imminentizing the alien-eschaton. They’ve been up and down and all around this globe, battling the greedy club owners, show promoters and control pigs to bring the new American heavy underground through your back door. Now here we are, with the psychedelic Unit’s second album for Sacred Bones, Negative Feedback Resistor.

In the spirit of solidarity with the other revolutionary communities of our sisters and brothers, the psychedelic Unit urges you to use this album’s energy, energy your speakers can hardly contain, for its intended purpose: to break the chains which you, at the dawn of your understanding, have fastened around your hands and feet. And to see to it that the thrones of every despot erected within you are destroyed. This is crazed-psychedelic-freek-noise guerrilla warfare and these are our streets. The pigs of the law can use their system to manipulate and censor our messages. The control creeps can keep their airwaves safe and comfortable. But none of them have been able to make us turn our voices or our guitar amps down. Destruction Unit sacrificed their ears to make this album as loud of a statement as possible. Will you lend them yours?

Negative Feedback Resistor was produced by The Ascetic House and Joe Cardamon in 2015, with the help of Adult Swim and Sacred Bones Records. It was recorded by Joe Cardamon and Greg Gordon at Valley Recording Company, mixed by Ben Greenberg at The Bunker and mastered by Alex DeTurk at Strange Weather. Destruction unit is R. Rousseau, J.S. Aurelius, N. Nappa, R. Rousseau, A. Flores with additional accompaniments by A.Z. Hungtai, D. Bolles, L. Rahbek and J. Sanes.

Melt Downer (AT) [numavi records]

Wenn die österreichische Musiklandschaft eine Hauptschule wäre, dann wären Melt Downer der neue Haudrauf. Dass ihre bruzzelnden Nichtmelodien perfekt zueinander passen, haben Mario Zangl und Wolfgang Möstl bereits bei "Killed by 9V Batteries" unter Beweis gestellt und auch Florian Giesauf ist
kein unbeschriebenes Blatt, hat er doch als Drummer von "Picture Eyes" permanent für rauchende Ohren und offene Münder gesorgt.Sie sind gekommen um den Pop im vertrauten Noisepop ausnahmsweise wegzulassen. Gemacht wird, was man am Besten kann: Lauter!
