Bohren & Der Club of Gore: "Tief Gesunken"

-
Bohren & Der Club of Gore's noir-jazz is some of my favorite sounds on planet Earth, the type of thought-inducing, isolated tonality that cancels out distraction and allows you to sit in your head. It was announced that a new Bohren album, Patchouli Blue, would reaching our grateful ears on January 24th via Ipecac Recordings. Wintery conditions being what they are, I imagine the album will provide a suitable soundtrack for clear cold evenings.

Patchouli Blue's lead intro track is "Tief Gesunken." Enjoy the video.

PATCHOULI BLUE ARRIVES JAN. 24 VIA IPECAC RECORDINGS

Dec. 13, 2019, Mülheim and der Ruhr, Köln – Bohren & der Club of Gore, who recently announced the Jan. 24 release of their eighth original album, Patchouli Blue (Ipecac Recordings), have debuted a second song from the forthcoming collection, sharing a video for “Tief Gesunken”

The clip, which continues Bohren & der Club of Gore’s visual aesthetic finds them reunited with producers Mark Sikora and Oliver Brand. The pair said of the clip, “New to ‘Tief Gesunken’ is the use of slow motion in combination with Jackson Pollock-influenced graphics.”

The German ambient dark jazz maestros previously shared “Sollen Es Doch Alle Wissen” (https://youtu.be/i_d31HP34MQ) with both songs available with pre-orders.

The band described Patchouli Blue as “four parts ‘classic Bohren,’ three parts strange and four parts jazz lurkers.”

Bohren & der Club of Gore is Christoph Clöser (saxophone/Fender Rhodes, piano, vibraphone, drums), Morten Gass (organ, piano, vocoder, baritone guitar, mellotron, Fender Rhodes, drums) and Robin Rodenberg (double bass, drums). The band has released seven studio albums: Gore Motel (1994), Midnight Radio (1995), Sunset Mission (2000), Black Earth (2002), Geisterfaust (2005), Dolores (2008), Beileid (2011) and Piano Nights (2014). Pitchfork described the Köln-based band’s music as “a unique blend of metal, jazz and ambient” music, further dubbing it “anti-social cocktail music.” The Quietus said there’s “something terrifyingly beautiful” about the Clöser-helmed band.

"Leader Of The Pack" ”Da Do Run Run” Without trying, you've heard at least a dozen of her songs, her name synonymous with "girl groups," and a pre-lethal Phil Spector . Farewell to a hit machine.

The Mailbox Giveth: Sleaford Mods

Sleaford Mods Chubbed Up + Ipecac Recordings Released:11.29.14 Sleaford Mods is an interesting entity. Following much of the rhythmic and minimal throb of Factory-era post-punk and, of course, hip hop's rise from being a "sample sport," as Public Enemy once put it, to the largely trap-centric hit machine it is today, Sleaford Mods embodies a tirade-level synthesis of the two: a beat-powered device with which to bathe in poetic and profanity-laced commentary. The group (vocalist Jason Williamson and track maker Andrew Fearn ) gained some notoriety stateside with its 2013 release, Austerity Dogs , despite having been about five albums deep in its discography. The group's new release, Chubbed Up +, is a singles compilation that includes three previously unreleased tracks. It was released by Ipecac Recordings. The mostly repetitious loop'd loop of springy bass riffs and flat percussion offer Sleaford Mods the distinction of being the more sophistica

What I Heard This Morning: Breton

I received an email via Sure Shot PR that was promoting Hemlock Recordings as well as their new acquisition, Breton . The band has a new EP out: A digital release entitled, Counter Balance . “RDI” is the song I sampled and it is a post-rock-meets-electronica mixture that seems to capitalize a bit on Foals , (an assessment all too accurately made in the press release by a writer for NME). The melodies they pick, though, are catchy and “RDI” really didn’t leave my head all day. They’re not typically a band I would discuss, but I thought Breton were intriguing enough to note. ”RDI” Here's the press info: HEK010 BRETON - Counter Balance EP Digital release: "RDI" "Counter Balance" "December" "Pop Death" "Hours Away" 12" Vinyl: HEK010A: "December" HEK010B1: "Hours Away" HEK010B2: "Counter Balance" With incendiary debuts from James Blake and Fantastic Mr Fox , Hemlock has built
