Unborn, by Glasir

//Glasir||Unborn\\

1. Precipice

2. Until We Dissolve

3. Into the Void

Crashing drums, flowing guitar, and dark basslines make up Unborn, by Glasir. This three song release clocks in at over 22 minutes, and the band throws repetitive, mind-dulling song structure, into what could quite possibly be the most melancholy sound a group of people can make. These instrumental tracks give a feeling of finality to the listener, and the dark and growing song songs are
definitely something anyone who is a fan of the genre could get into. The final track, "Into the Void" is the paramount of the release, giving a good sense of a closing that makes you want to start the entire trip over again. While usually I would get bored of a release that seems to never end, what is going for works so well, and is so listenable, I would recommend this to anyone looking for new music. Being able to display amazing emotions without words has always been what can make or break an instrumental band, and Glasir 100% knows how to make it. You can download this release for Free of their bandcamp, but if you like it, I would throw some $$$ their way. I can't wait to hear more from this band.

7. My Glass Teeth

8. Banter Orb

Found another band from Glasgow, this one is an experimental/ambient band. Sucks that I'm finding these bands that I like but I mean: 

To see these bands live would be kinda ridiculous. Anyway, as I said, Herbert Powell is an experimental/ambient/lo-fi band. I for one can really get into this, and I'm sure people who are fans of the genre's could easily get into it. Vocals are far withdrawn, and tracks are instrumentation heavy. Guitars dance around the track, drums are simple complimentary drums, and bass is driving. I think keys are scattered throughout the release but with this kind of music ya never really know. This is the kind of music I'll put on in the background and listen to while I'm doing something important like sleeping. The tracks tend to drag, but in a good way, and even though many times the instrumentation seems to be randomly placed with no direction, it all comes together at times, resulting in an awesome affect of making really cool music. Very cool thing where the entire song kind of falls apart in "My Glass Teeth". I really dig the guitar riffs and the vocals on this release. Check this band out if you are a fan of the genre.

Bad House by Jinzo

1. Bad Sky

2. Robot Hands Interlude (Alternate Remix)

3. Bad House

4. Sad Eye

So I follow this guy on Twitter from Glasgow (which is probably somewhere in North Dakota, idk) who specializes in weird twitter, and today I found out he also does music things. His newest release (as well as all of his other releases) show off this ambient/electronic style of music that I'm not use to listening to. I am a fan of chill, lay back music, and this is just what that is. Have you ever watched that show, House, with the doctor who does the medical things? Ya know that theme song? Pretend it's not by Massive Attack and that it doesn't have vocals and you've got Bad House. Anyway really digging this release, and I'm going to be checking out the rest of his stuff. You should too. The kinda stuff you hear in those foreign movies about a bunch of kids that get into a bad situation and someone dies so they need some spacey music.

Also follow this guy on twitter for a bunch of laughs. 

*I know that Glasgow is not in North Dakota. That was a joke

-Eight Million Kami-

Eight Million Kami--Eight Million Kami

Does that make Sixteen Million Kami?

Is supposed to twice as emotional oppose to if it was named something else?

What could possibly be in need of 16 million gods?

Maybe I'm missing something.

Some really cool twinkle-instrumental stuff I found on bandcamp. I've started to not care for instrumental stuff lately because what I've been finding lately is boring, simpleton riffs repeated a stupid amount of times at doesn't go anywhere for about 9 minutes (myself guilty) and none of it sticks. Eight Million Kami is from somewhere, Florida and belong to DIY (or die) record label No Fun Allowed Records. The instrumentation of this ep/demo is what I'm always lookin' for; crazy, dirty, out of control, but at the same time it's a composition and actually MOVES you. On the song "Root Division" there's this crazy bleep-bloop solo that's so uniquely-weird, with the beautiful vamp beneath it, it makes you feel the turmoil in your life because of this weird synthesizer sound. Great stuff to listen if your bored of your day job at Wal-Mart and you want to feel (somewhat) cultured.

Vessel by Vessel

Vessel by Vessel

1. I'm Going To Miss This When We're Dead

2. Flight

3. It's Never Too Late

4. Oceans

5. Alexandria

6. High Noon

7. Gentlemen, It's Been An Honor Serving With You

The self titled, full instrumental release by Vessel has left me with a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach. This release is full of emotion, dynamic, and, if you have a little imagination, seems to tell a story through it's music. Each song is so different and dynamic, that each one leaves you with an entirely different feeling.
Guitar is well done, simple in many, if not all parts, but working and progressing throughout the song/ throughout the release. There are some nice riffs, and tremolo is pulled off nicely in some songs, such as Flight.
In all, this 40 odd minute release left me stunned. To me, it was a release about endings. It's an emotional and beautiful release that I'd definitely check out.
