1) Egyptian Blue - Body of Itch
Anglická post-punková parta Egyptian Blue debutovala 21/6/2019 u YALA! Music s EP Collateral Damage. Mě tenkrát bodovala z něj pecka pecku Contain It, celý materiál obsahuje jinak 4 skladby. Inspirace je třeba The Jesus and Mary Chain, Brain Jonestown Massacre, Wire či Echo And The Bunnymen. Aktuální dvojka v podobě EP Body of Itch je právě venku, najdete na ní jinak 3 skladby...
Egyptian Blue: Leith Ambrose (guitar, vocals), Andy Buss (guitar, vocals), Luke Phelps (bass), Tom Bellotti (drums)
Brighton/Colchester/Bury St Edmunds

2) DROM - Ostny v dlani
From the album Tady Bůh Není! (2018)
Nad Lety mraky
Odcizením skrápí
Vrazi jsou tu taky
Děti se nevrátí
Košilka a tetování
Na věčnost
Mít ostny v dlani
Dlouhé jsou dny
Mrzká přání
Bez kytic
Pro umírání
Milo jiro pal tute rovel (moje srdce pro tebe pláče)

3) Super Besse – Ozhog
Super Besse started as post-punk band and released two longplay albums 63610* (2015) and La Nuit* (2017). Coldwave duo with this baggage made tours in Europe, Russia, China, collecting amazed listeners and good marks from the press. Their track ‘Holod’ appears at Hotel Mumbai movie.
Now Super Besse are back with unrecognizable sound and new album Un Rêve, that is released on the 13th of March 2020. Super Besse brings a new alloy of low-frequency techno beats, bold straight bass, nervous guitar and distant vocal.
The presentation of the album Un Rêve – is Russian lyrics on the exciting topic of self-identification and reflection of existence in small World. But even without knowing the Russian language, through an alarming dance beat, you can guess the warning message.
Un Rêve was recorded in Berlin and Minsk, and released on I Love You Records label from Riga. Album will be released on all streaming platforms, CD and on two types of vinyl - regular black discs and a limited color edition. Now Super Besse is preparing for their upcoming tours in Europe, Russia, and Latin America.

5) Kalbells - Mothertime
In April 2015, Kalmia Traver (Kalbells, Rubblebucket) had just come out of an intensive 2-month writing retreat with 27 songlets in hand, 10 of which would become Kalbells’ debut album Ten Flowers. Jeremy Malvin (Chrome Sparks) loved what she shared with him then, and the two began regular co-production sessions in his studio in Brooklyn, where classical percussion ensemble So Percussion also worked. Drawing inspiration from the abundance of acoustic sound-makers all around, Jeremy performed marimbas, cactus shakers, and massive bass drums, while Kal layered flute arpeggios, penny whistles, and saxophones through tape echo to make smooth harmonic waves of rainbow velvet layer cake. They pretended to be an orchestra.
Lyrically, the Mothertime EP sees Kal processing themes she has been continually chewing on in the 6-year wake of surviving ovarian cancer and transforming a codependent relationship wither her long-time music partner Alex Toth (Tōth, Rubblebucket): resilience, yielding, beckoning creativity, self-exploration, and joy.
“Cool and Bendable” was inspired by a dream in which she held her yet-unborn child, but as Kal finished writing the song in the studio with Jeremy, she realized it was actually about holding herself, a body, a life. “Supple, strong, funny: a person, a being,” she says. “I also think I was celebrating in awe the general aliveness of our world, Earth.” “Mothertime,” is about her mother and their relationship, which she describes as her most cherished learning-grounds. “It’s about the bewildering beauty and uncanniness of the fact that we can keep growing & changing so much, cueing off each other across our two mobius-entwined lifetimes.” The EP’s final two tracks, “Precipice” and “Tremble,” are both about the struggle of being in a codependent relationship: the sadness of neglect, the zing of excitement during a bitter fight, the addictive explosion of energy that feels momentarily gratifying but isn’t ultimately what one is searching for, truly, and the cyclical realization (and perhaps, denial) of harming oneself or others. “It’s something I feel proud to have moved and grown through,” she says, “and I hope writing about it can be a form of revealing the illusion, and healing.”
