Capsule review: No age - Snares like a haircut (2018)


Sculpted pop noise from guitar/drum duo. They run into the limits of their sound eventually, but they do make a good run for it.

Capsule review: dEUS - Keep you close (2011)


Uber-romantic statement. I suspect the record Barman always knew dEUS had in them. It's an achievement. Too big for me. Of heart, of sound. I'm not into these Olympian levels.

Capsule review: Potty mouth - Snafu (2019)


Modern Weezer. Snappy ('22'). They bark, but not much bite.

Capsule review: Luc Ferrari - Presque rien N° 1 (1970)


I dig these composers who explore the limits of what is music, I do. Some I dig to listen to, some to read about. These environment sounds taped over 24 hours on a beach in Yugoslavia, may be compressed to 20 minutes, for this subjective listener they feel like a long day of listening.

Capsule review: Radical slave - Damascus (2010)


A pack of rabid rodents gnawing at your shoes. It it permitted? Trust me, they don't care. Raw no wave noise.

Capsule review: Beach boys - Beach boys (1985)


The franchise.

Capsule review: Beach boys - Keepin' the summer alive (1980)


I'll be in the garage chopping up this surfboard.

Capsule review: Beach boys - Love you (1977)


Confessions of a recluse with a synth. Legend has it they planted a keyboard in front of Brian's tv and he didn't realize a thing. But legends aren't real. It takes research and development to sound this damaged. You won't find a record like it, and neither will Johnny Carson. Even the synth needs psychological treatment.
