Milhaven – I.M. Wagner EP

I.M. WagnerMilhaven is such a great find for me. I don’t know what you’d call this type of music, but it’s the same as The Big Sleep and Brian Jonestown Massacre. I think this is called psychedelic or some such. At any rate, this release is so outstanding, I don’t even know where to begin to describe it. The first three tracks are ten to fifteen minutes long, almost like mini rock symphonies. The compostitions are excellent, and the recording / production has this low quality atmosphere to it, which really brings the music straight into your head. This is great music for chilling out with, a relaxed type of vibe but it grabs you and doesn’t let go until track 4, a mellow acoustic piece which is a perfect way to end the set, as if it were letting you go gently. Definitely give Milhaven a listen; it’s my first find of the year so this will be a hard act to follow.

BTW, Happy New Year everyone!

Dsrv – Understood [EP]

Dsrv - Understood [EP]This is a peaceful yet moving set of tracks. Starting out with a sort of jazzy electro sampled piece called Autumn Ride (which suddenly goes ambient right in the middle for a few seconds), we move on to a more ambient track that goes back to electro about a minute in. The rest of the release varies in this manner, as if Dsrv can’t decide whether he wants to go ambient or breakbeat or hardcore trance… which works for us listeners.

Cover Song – Update

_start(FALSE, ‘order=5’)

I’ve gone as far with this as I’m going to. Recorded new guitar, tried to clean up a bit, made it better in general. Let me know what you think.
