Favourite Records of the Year. Selected by: Jungbluth
The opening track on Jungbluth’s furious sophomore album is called Everytime Geradeaus, and it accurately describes its breathless agitation: Lovecult rumbles ahead raw and poisonous, sitting more comfortable in noiserock than every other oft he band‘s record, attacking hardcore with some of their most catchy songs to date. No break for the band after this imposing tour-de-force though – while they’re having a dense calendar of live shows, Jungbluth even managed to pass by the Heavy Pop advent calendar.
Blobs – Demo Cassette
Surfy but raw, sometimes lethargic hardcore punk, with a dash of weird 70s sax-sound. Sounds exhilerating, but it’s a great 7-song-tape.
Drug Curch – [amazon_link id=“B00H4WLPVU“ target=“_blank“ ]Hit Your Head[/amazon_link] / [amazon_link id=“B00H4WKLKQ“ target=“_blank“ ]Swell 7″[/amazon_link]
Drug Chruch belong on such a list in any case. A bit grungy, a bit on the hardcore side, but always catchy. Awesome production on a very versatile album that was playing in the van a lot. Whoever likes this might want to give the Swell 7“ a listen (But Does It Work = Hit).
PRAG – PRAG EP
Lewd. Primitive. Echo. Punk. Sounds like Japan, but comes from Australia. Four songs, everything to the max. They continue their soar after their first demo. And awesomley raw live as well. What else.
G.L.O.S.S. – Demo
Ooooha! Pushing punk with charged content where everything just fits. Sounds like anger, energy, and a huge „Fuck Off!“, and is one of those demos taht stay for a long time, in the ear, and the turntable. More like it. Please!
Replicant – Black Light EP
Dystopian Synthwave, industrial, 80s and fog. Not at all my genre, but bandcamp lets you stumble across interesting bands from time to time. My foot even taps along sometimes. Was running up and down.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor – [amazon_link id=“B00TY18YSQ“ target=“_blank“ ]Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress[/amazon_link]
The perfect soundtrack fort he winter that has yet to show up. It’s a 45 minute piece that manages to establish a thrill from beginning to the end. Somehow GY!BE manage to convince with every record. Even in a likable way. Ando ne of these very special live bands.
