album reviews

Reviews of albums old and new from iconic artists and up and coming musicians alike.

Merzbow - Material Action 2
A heaping dollop of noisiness from the long-time Japanoise king, Masami Akita, a.k.a. "Merzbow," who has been going since 1978 and has a hundred and forty million albums of this stuff. Here, we have a heavy collage of bang and clang, intercut with high, piercing, synth whistling but it never does in any way get dull. The feeling is that one is inside the bowls of some great, futuristic tin horn beast from a demonic bestiary located somewhere south of Chiba City and somewhere north of the Sprawl. Strings are plucked behind the wall of noise, there is always the sensation of movement...movement...movement forward in sound, a process of progression.

Musical Digest: Dua Lipa "Houdini"
In an alternative, romanesque turn of events, my first introduction to Dua Lipa’s newest single “Houdini” is amidst the strobe lights of some exclusive underground party. It was meant to be a hot, sweaty and sexy anthem for all the concrete jungle cats and kittens that live for the night life, the fog machines, the dancing, the omnious mystery that unfolds when two strangers' eyes meet across the bar and it's an instant electric feel. But in reality…I rushed to my Spotify account as soon as my phone received the notification that the single dropped and melted into my couch with my airpods still intact.
