M Is We: Oceans & The Corrupting Sea: Looking To the Stars

  

One of our favorite indie labels is North Carolina's Silber Records. Finely curated by artist/producer Brian John Mitchell, the label spans wondrous soundscapes from delicately crafted ambient to edgy punk regimes. Today we have two tasty new releases from the label.

Oceans is the new album from M is We. The eights tracks are edgy post punk, with poignant lyrics and a sound fit for a dark Brooklyn dive. Brash and noisey, the tracks are gems of punkish dilemma. 

The Corrupting Sea's EP, Looking To the Stars, is another entry in the label's 5 in 5 series, where artists do 5, one minute songs on the EP. This EP is an ambient post-rock look at ingenious synthesizer pads and patterns.

Franck Vigroux: Barricades

Barricades is the debut album from French ambient auteur Franck Vigroux. The eight tracks are dark, with elegantly expressive lines of imaginative synth pads. The sultry waves and overtones create the air of true movement within the sonic experience, while noise manifests itself as dissociated wafts of the music it originated from. This album is transcendental, beautiful and well crafted. An absolute must have. Stream and buy Barricades at the link below.

The Hex Collection is the new EP from Massachusetts based artist/producer R.U.U.N.E. The six tracks are stark, dance synth music.

Connect_icut: Music For Granular Synthesizer

Music For Granular Synthesizer is the new album from Vancouver based artist/producer Connect_icut, aka Samuel Macklin, on Aagoo Records. The six tracks, totaling almost an hour of music, are drone/ambient explorations of tones, melodies clean lines and noise. Ethereal, with lots of sonic diversity, at times smooth and ambient, at times gritty drones, and other times flowing and melodic, this is an experimental journey of synthesizer moodiness and texture, that satisfies the senses.

The Fuzillis: Grind A Go Go

Grind A Go Go is the new album from The Fuzillis. The sixteen tracks are the most fun you can have since Shindig went off the air, or The Stray Cats first burst on the scene. This is rock-n-roll, not in some lame of commercial sence, the is primal 50's based rock, the like of which would make Jerry Lee Lewis and Link Wray blush. Lo-fi, blaring sax and enough twang to cause an earthquake, the real deal, This album is an absolute must have...if you have the cajones. Stream and buy Grind A Go Go at the link below.
