The recent single is so great to just ~space~ to

Damn, how did I miss this? ANY mention of Labradford and/or The For Carnation should immediately send up a bat signal of some sort.

Now's not the time for glibness but the widescreen creeping dread of the recent EP is perfect for watching the world burn.

hey what's up, i listened to the tape mix - pretty good
they've got asa chang and junray - hana on there, patty waters, public enemy, a song from the ghost dog soundtrack, got some throat singing on there, some gamelan
whole thing is a trip tbh

this album should appeal to all you snoopy-heads that wanna get churned up by more coil-esque looping psychedlic ambient

That's on Offen isn't it? Love that label.

yep! anything vladimir ivkovic touches is worthwhile imo

Saw that they have a new mix here:https://crackmagazine.net/article/mixprofile/cs-kreme/

discovered this only now via the albums poll. it is incredible that there is still so much fascinating, uncharted territory on the map of music. there is something haunting about this stuff. i get the piano music comparison but here there are more noises and not so many voices. "mount warning" is a phantastic trip into some dark places, maybe a descent into a cave?
― walking towards the sun since 2007 (alex in mainhattan), Monday, 8 February 2021 21:09 (three years ago) link
piano magic comparison, obv.
I've also discovered them through the albums poll and am really digging them. What they do goes beyond mood; these are full-bodied tracks with enigmatic personalities.

If I can thank ILM for just three things, those things would be Junior Boys, Sault, and this
― Paul Ponzi, Thursday, 11 February 2021 15:33 (three years ago) link
I was hoping that they would place high enough in the albums poll to get more people to check them out, so it's great to see that's happened.

heard this today for the first time, i know it's not quite there (nowhere near murky enough) but i think this is the closest thing i've heard to 'snoopy'?

those wacky noises at the start meant I couldn't listen to more than two minutes of this, just too distracting :(
― boxedjoy, Thursday, 18 February 2021 08:40 (three years ago) link
that track ends about five minutes in, if you just want to skip it
― mh, Thursday, 18 February 2021 19:49 (three years ago) link
oh man i used to have that rocket girl box set - some real clunkers on there, but that track and about half of the rest is decent
just had a look and the box set has the track with the offside lyrics that go: "the gallagher brothers masquerading around town as genuises/like beatlemania with tiny penises"
― dogs, Sunday, 21 February 2021 14:24 (three years ago) link
"Where did tiny penises go"

wow the vinyl copy i got (repress i think) sounds like absolute dogshit. a muddy mess. A/B'ing with a 320kbps mp3 is like night and day. trilogy tapes is kind of a stupid label but i've never gotten something that sounds this bad from them before. major drag.
― adam, Thursday, 25 February 2021 16:06 (three years ago) link
especially with like 12 minutes of music per side
my copy sounds great.
trilogy tapes is kind of a stupid label
what is stupid about them?
― stirmonster, Thursday, 25 February 2021 16:22 (three years ago) link
put some text on your dang lps so i know what side is what! especially on a double lp. i feel very strongly about this. the rezzett 2lp has 4 blank silver labels!
there is enough uncertainty in life i don't need expensive imported techno mysteries. tho i understand this might be appealing to others
― adam, Thursday, 25 February 2021 16:26 (three years ago) link
ha ha. i can't argue with that.
a friend bought the repress too so i'll ask them how their copy sounds.

Fans of CS + Kreme might be interested in the debut album from fellow Australian YL Hooi.

There's something up with those Aussies and I for one am loving it. You've also got the likes of Carla dal Forno, HTRK, F Ingers and Tarquin Manek working in this kinda zone as well. Won't be too long before they're giving this sound it's own name and everything.
― paolo, Tuesday, 9 March 2021 13:28 (three years ago) link
Yeah the YL Hooi album is good, as was this set: https://www.nts.live/shows/guests/episodes/yl-hooi-19th-february-2021

anyone seen them live? i have no concept if they're like playing instruments or fiddling with laptops or what, and there are no live videos on youtube
― na (NA), Wednesday, 30 March 2022 20:14 (two years ago) link
my entirely ungrounded guess/hope is that it'd be live bass w/ processing and electronics

CS is of course already a long time standing, most consummate stage performer, so it will be interesting to see if he brings any of that to this. i'm guessing more subdued may be the way here though.
― stirmonster, Wednesday, 30 March 2022 22:18 (two years ago) link
Definitely going to the Philly date.

I've been listening to this album Chances by new band Acopia, and thinking "wow this is basically a female-fronted (and marginally more energetic) CS + Kreme" - and lol of course they are from Melbourne.

two songs in, really enjoying this Acopia album, makes me think of what if Carla Dal Forno embraced her pop side
― boxedjoy, Wednesday, 6 April 2022 15:42 (two years ago) link
Enjoying it! Some of it is very HTRK e.g. 'Toxic Traits'

other thing that Acopia reminded me of was Bowery Electric circa 'Freedom Fighter'
