Minibus Pimps: "sounds something like a flock of rabid seagulls pecking flesh from rotting cadavers on a radioactive, post-apocalyptic beach invaded by alien craft," according to Boomkat.

There will be a new Hedvig Mollestad Trio album, Enfant Terrible, in April.

^^^^
Just been listening to this, on first listen it doesn't sound as good as the last one, but still pretty damn good.

New Susanna & Jenny Hval album coming up:

(Felt sure I had posted this so apologies if this is elsewhere, too).

Great label. Recent Motorpsycho releases there find them at the top of their game, I think. Other faves:

Bushman's Revenge – A Little Bit Of Big Bonanza (2012)
Phaedra – The Sea (2011)
Bushman's Revenge – Thou Shalt Boogie! (2013)
Bushman's Revenge – Never Mind The Botox (2012)
El Doom & The Born Electric – El Doom & The Born Electric (2012)
Fire! Orchestra – Exit! (2013)
Hedvig Mollestad Trio – All Of Them Witches (2013)
Supersilent – 6 (Rune Grammafon, 2003)
Bushman's Revenge – Jitterbug (2010)
Hedvig Mollestad Trio – Shoot! (2011)
Svalastog – Woodwork (2006)
Supersilent – 8 (2007)
Huntsville – For The Middle Class (2006)
Elephant9 With Reine Fisk – Atlantis (2012)
Ultralyd – Inertiadrome (2010)
Thomas Strønen – Pohlitz (2006)

I haven't looked lately at what else they've come out with this year. Recommendations?

The upcoming Fire! Orchestra album, Enter, is great. It's a studio disc, not a live one like Exit, but just as sprawling and awesome.

Will any one be buying the new Henriksen?

djh, Thursday, 7 August 2014 21:09 (nine years ago) link

"Supersilent 12" coming in September.

djh, Tuesday, 12 August 2014 23:17 (nine years ago) link

djh - do you mean chron / cosmic creation, or is there a newer one?
( chron / cosmic creation is flipin ace - frosty COLD hassellisms not so much trumpet, more textures )
both henriksen/ tatsihisa yamamoto / giovanni di domenico discs are way awesome and worth searching out.
been digging elephant9 recently (stale storlokken goes jon lord / hansson&karlsson via white hot rollicking fusiony whipcrack sense of rhythm)

massaman gai, Thursday, 14 August 2014 07:08 (nine years ago) link

oh "places of worship"? that was perhaps a little bit "meh". all things being relative, though y'know pretty grand in the overall scheme of things despite the cloying (and "cloying" is sometimes a problem w/ henriksen) concept and one of his co-conspirators doing a sylvian-u-likey vocal

massaman gai, Thursday, 14 August 2014 12:48 (nine years ago) link

There's a new one, The Nature of Connections, due next week or so.

djh, Thursday, 14 August 2014 17:20 (nine years ago) link

ohh thanks didn't know. write-up on the RuneG site sounded a bit lacklustre, but the soundcloud tuneage turned me round:https://soundcloud.com/rune-grammofon/hambopolskavalsen

one year passes...

I know I ask this on an annual basis ... but any (new) recommendations?

I presume there are people who follow the label *properly*?

I'm mildly tempted by RCD2173 - Espen Eriksen Trio: Never Ending January.

djh, Sunday, 4 October 2015 21:20 (eight years ago) link

^ Anyone heard this?

djh, Tuesday, 13 October 2015 16:40 (eight years ago) link

three weeks pass...

It sounds nice from clips.

Not technically Rune Gram but there's a new Susanna album on its way:

Hmm ...

Deathprod ‏@Deathprod · Apr 12

Deathprod and Supersilent will be joining the label Smalltown Supersound @supersound for future explorations. More news to come.

This sounds nice, from the clip:

"I know I ask this on an annual basis ... but any (new) recommendations?"

Also, there's a new Susanna album of covers (Not on RG) coming up plus a Bonnie Prince Billy album of Susanna covers ...

Have been playing the first compilation mentioned above (in 2014) this evening.

djh, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 22:09 (six years ago) link

Ridiculous thought for the evening: might try and compile the Supersilent albums I own into a single disc "Best of".

djh, Friday, 3 November 2017 23:13 (six years ago) link

"I know I ask this on an annual basis ... but any (new) recommendations?"

The Terje Rypdal-tribute cd "Sky Music" is pretty good.

EvR, Sunday, 5 November 2017 20:22 (six years ago) link

Thanks - will check it out.

I put the first of those (homemade) compilations on Spotify, as my original CD is unplayable. There are a couple of gaps where I've not been able to figure out tracks:

The new Elephant9 record, 'Arrival of the New Elders', is really something. Didn't know whether to put this in a rolling jazz thread or w/e, but it's the business. Like a spiritual electronic jazz record. Crazy good musicians.

I loved Psychedelic Backfire 1, so you are speaking my language.

perhaps I myself was the object of my search (PBKR), Wednesday, 10 March 2021 15:05 (three years ago) link
