it is pretty punk rock to be from china

some stuff i've been into lately

D!O!D!O!D! - ghost temple



totally insane 2-man noisy free punk from china

i dont know what else you'd call this, its 2 dudes who have that cool hive mind kinda thing with each other that good jazz guys get with each other freaking the fuck out for 35 minutes

i dont know enough about freejazz to really compare it to anything specific but this is really violent stuff, kind of on a parallel with some of the more thrashy sun city girls jamming except that these guys never get back to the song part because there isnt one. punk as fucc

ALSO:beautiful and haunting psych blues from finland
Ignatz - II




i basically can't take 99% of white dudes approximating the blues or even a lotta actual blues half the time but this is so far removed from what basically anyone except jandek are doing with it (and the music is way more interesting here) that it turned into one of my favorite guitar records. it has a lot of that same disorted primitive appalachian riffing ex-cocaine are tapping into, with fingerpicking and some background effect swashes and weirdo folk-y vocals. sparse crackly production definitely sets a mood, its like he's playing in front of his fireplace inside a glacier. if matt valentine was a really lonely guy this is what his music would sound like
