"Deep into The Code," "Facing The Spider," and "End Game (Sweet Dead Little Bunny" from IDKFA the Doom remake album by Andrew Hulshult, released July 22, 2016.
I liked Facing The Spider the most, and the former two are leagues over End Game by virtue of not having vocals I dislike. Not unsurprising since metal vocals can be super hit-or-miss for me; the more garbled, unintelligible, and harsher (if not necessarily rougher since that sort of scratchiness is off-putting) a track is the more easily I'll like it, but this one just didn't groove with me.
Guess I'll listen to the full album later on, just not a high priority.
(VxPxC), "Short Life" => "Clear Stains" (Strange On Hind Legs, self-released CDr, 2006).
My closest points of reference here are probably Charalambides, Jackie-O Motherfucker, The Dead C and Bügsküll, although that doesn't quite do justice to the kind of weird bedroom music mess unfolding here. It's good, don't get me wrong, but part of what's interesting is how little there is to hold onto structurally, even when there is a clear key signature being played in or a clear style being explored. Maybe because even when there are drums and some semblance of a set tempo, measures tend to blur into each other and individual parts dissolve into one another. It's like seeing shapes in clouds, but with harmonica and keyboards and bass.
