Infinite T.E. bros Boyfrndz have an EP dropping July 16th entitled ‘Natures’ and I was honored to be asked to make the video for one of my favorite tracks on said EP “Moving Parts”. I you are unfamiliar with Boyfrndz I highly recommend starting here. Enjoy!

I also want to give a public thank you to Chelsea Green, Adam Rossiter, and Florence Van Camerijk for doing all the weird shit I asked of them, and Scott Martin for setting the entire thing up.

When Ben Chisholm a.k.a. Revelator isn’t busy touring and producing for Chelsea Wolfe, he’s busy producing his own brand of equally dark and twisted sounds. According to Chisholm “”Euroshima (Wardance)” is a cover I recorded with my dear friend Freddy Rupper (Former Ghost). The track is for a tribute LP titled “_ever Alive: A Tribute to Snowy Red”. This release also features Led Er Est, Bestial Mouths, Mirror Mirror, //TENSE//, and lots of other shining young artists. You can order this beautifully pressed, double LP, via Weyrd Son.

I am currently writing and recording my full length debut as Revelator, as well as remastering the White Horse “Revenant Gospels” trilogy. The three EPs are set to be released on vinyl for the first time, later this year, also through Weyrd Son Records.”

The found-footage video for the track is almost as creepy as the track itself and leaves you wondering what kind of dark YouTube K-hole of a road one would have to travel down to find some of this stuff… ENJOY!

Last week eternal T.E. homie Blake Gillespie wrote a piece over at Impose Magazine titled ‘New New York: the false prophecy’. If you didn’t read it, in short, Blake claimed that the early 2012 hype of NY Hip-Hop was ill-deserved given the output of last year. However, as Blake pointed out, the potential saving grace was Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire’s ‘Kimset’ mixtape. Today, we get to jam ‘Kimset’ for the first time. And while I don’t completely agree with Blake aforementioned article, I do agree that ‘Kimset’ is a behemoth of a release. Stream / Download below.

And while on the topic of eXquire, be sure to check out this interview-esque video we shot a week back on a roof overlooking the Manhattan skyline.

Prove me wrong, but I’m willing to go out on a limb and say that PC Worship may be the all time kings of improv-punk-shred-garage-noise-barrage punk. Yeah that’s a new genre tag I just made up, and I it’s going to be big in 2013. This is a bit of a double post, not only do PC Worship have a brilliantly disturbing new found footage video for the track “It’s My Name” by VHS artist Ginny Benson and taken off the bands excellent new ‘Beat Punk’ LP, they also have the entire ‘Beat Punk record for you to stream (Tripple post, technically, if you include the small run of tour dates as well). We’ve loved these guys for years now. About three years ago we attempted to film a live session in a dingy basement in California. The video turned out great, but needless to say audio was a bit fucked; which I was bummed about at the time, but in hindsight, I’d rather have that as a story ‘…the only band too loud to film…”. So anyway press play below and get ready for a mini improv-punk-shred-garage-noise-barrage.

‘Beat Punk’ is available now via New Images.
LP Stream via Ad Hoc.

Finally something the entire internet can agree is beautiful and well deserving of all hype received. We’ve already heard “Dream House” and I wrote a bit how it made me feel actual feelings before barfing slightly in my mouth. Today we get graced with the title track off Deafheaven’s upcoming ‘Sunbather’ LP, and although the track is a bit more abrupt than “Dream House” it still carries a massive amount of weight. ‘Sunbather’ drops June 11th via Deathwish.

Admittedly, it’s taken me a few days to fully get my head around this new NYMPH track, but after copious listens, and realizing the bright guitars haven’t left my head since first listen, I’ve decided to share. It’s a track that leaves you bobbing your head back and forth before jettisoning your mind into full mind-fuck the next (in a good way, … I think), I mean, the track is aptly titled “Battle Funk”. “Battle Funk” comes off NYMPH’s upcoming ‘New Millenium Prayer’ LP which you can Pre-order ‘New Millenium Prayer’ here via the fin people over at Northern Spy.

‘ABANDON’ the latest LP from NY based one-woman noise ripper Margaret Chardiet a.k.a. Pharmakon is out now via Sacred Bones, but if you have yet to fall in love and cop the LP, here’s another primal cut “Ache”.

Loving this new track from UK’s Melt Yourself Down. I imagine walking down the street with magical powers inflicting odd mishaps upon unfortunate pedestrians, such as fly by pants-ings, magical gusts of wind that would rip off some poor old ladies wig, and other Jim Carrey-esque pranks of that sort while this track played in the background. The record drops sometime in June but until then just jam this track over and over and pre-order the LP here.

Another day, another really good Lee Bannon mixtape. ‘Never/mind/the/darkness/of/it…’ is the follow up to Bannon’s excellent ‘Caligula theme music 2.7.5′ and sort sounds as if trap-music got a little sad and decided to open a physics textbook. Keep an eye on Bannon this year, he has some tricks up his sleeves…

Seemingly out of nowhere Colin Marston (Behold, Krallice) has droped an entire new Indricothere (Formerly Vegan Death) LP simply titled ‘II’. At times the pre-programmed drums can feel obnoxiously lifeless, but if you can make it past them, which isn’t hard at all, this thing shreds. Hard.

I received an email from Sam Hillmer (ZS, Diamond Terrifier) about a week ago that simply read: “Yo! I’ve got this mixtape I made of DT [Diamond Terrifier] rippin it over Terrible Records artist tracks, I cover Solange, it’s crazy.” I knew I had to hear it. Secondly, anytime anyone prefaces and email with “Yo!” I can generally assume I’m going to like what follows. If you are unfamiliar with Hillmer’s work, in a nutshell, he makes mind melting experimental Saxophone music (See our live session with ZS shot a few years ago for a crash course). This mixtape “How To Wrap a Crown” is in celebration of DT’s latest LP ‘THE SUBTLE BODY WEARS A SHADOW’ (Record release show: May 20th @ Public Assembly w/ Amen Dunes [NY] see flier below).

Hillmer had a few words to say about the mixtape:
“Upon signing with Terrible we decided that contextualizing my work in terms of other artists in the Terrible catalog would be a good idea. So! I got a lot of instrumentals, and I witled it down to what is posted here. I have always wanted to run wild on a bunch of different pop related stuff, so here I am doing it! Saxophone Juke is a genre I’ve been meaning to invent, and covering the pitched down Solange was a special privilege! I hope y’all dig it!” We do!

Another week another track from the ever-productive Lee Bannon. I’ve seen a bunch of people calling this track ‘dark’ or ‘menacing’ or that it ‘licks at the nape of your neck with a scaly black tongue.’ but that sounds like some weird Star Wars lingo and I highly doubt Darth Vader is bumping this track inside that helmet (he might be jamming this though…). I think this track is fairly uplifting and powerful, but then again maybe that says more about me than it does about the track. If I were to make any weird Star Wars-eque comparison, it would read more along the lines of “This track is most likely what Princess Leia had in her walkman as she attempted to teach herself how to dougie in a bikini, in the mirror, in extra slow motion.” Uhhhh… Stream “Rellahmatic” below.
