Rindert Lammers: Thank You Kirin Kiki

Ambient jazz out of the Netherlands. Where some ambient is like a still pond, content to luxuriate in silence, this debut finds lushness in its sparseness. Lammers' bio professes an early love of Genesis and you can feel a hint of that orchestral richness in these five quietly beautiful tracks. Enjoy!

After years of trailblazing work with Sonic Youth, Kim Gordon has been letting her experimental instincts loose and pushing her sound further into adventurous grounds.

Find out more about her music at thepropagandasite.com/artist/k

Kim Gordon
the PROPAGANDA siteKim Gordon | the PROPAGANDA siteKim Gordon built her career as the legendary singer, bass player, songwriter of the legendary and enormously influential band Sonic Youth from the late '80s through the '00s. Originally a southern Californian with a background in visual arts, she is now back in Los Angeles, doing her art and her solo work, producing a kind of hard-edged garage-driven experimental music that is not too far removed from Sonic Youth years. She combines electronic loops, repetitive conceptual work with her signature bass-driven dirty dirges or pounding drum beats bashing against a wall of distorted guitars. You know .... all Sonic Youth stuff, except, a tad more out there. Her solo work is the best way to find out about the evolution of an enormously influential musician whose impact can be seen in a lot of today's musical acts of a younger generation (Knife Wife, Horsegirl).

Always up for some stylistic variety and game for crossovers with classical, pop, and rock, jazz pianist and composer Ethan Iverson has been a great source of fascinating music over the years.

Find out more about his music at thepropagandasite.com/artist/e

Ethan Iverson
the PROPAGANDA siteEthan Iverson | the PROPAGANDA siteComposer and pianist Ethan Iverson has proven to be quite an omnivore of jazz throughout his career. His appetite stretches further outside of jazz, prompting him to regularly create distinct hybrids with classical music, pop, and rock. As a founding member of The Bad Plus, he spent a good amount of time exploring avant-garde jazz as well as producing bold adaptations of popular songs by the likes of Nirvana or The Pixies, until his departure in 2017. His solo career often finds him trying different styles and sounds, engaging in collaborations that take him from chamber style duets to bebop tributes and moving fluidly between hard bop, post bop, and classical music crossovers. A constant that remains in his music across all these stylistic shifts has been the centrality of melody to his music, along with his deliberate approach and expressive use of the piano.

Instrumental wizardry, big riffs, and melodic hooks power Polyphia's mixture of prog, metal, and fusion, packaged together in their distinct brand of (mostly) instrumental music.

Find out more about their music at thepropagandasite.com/artist/p

Polyphia
the PROPAGANDA sitePolyphia | the PROPAGANDA sitePolyphia is a band that takes guitar wizardry as its core identity, creating modern day prog rock with strong metal and fusion overtones and a fairly explicit pop sound. In a way, they package the appeal of complex licks molded by their high level musicianship and instrumental virtuoso (where guitarist Tim Henson serves as a focal point) and more than a spoonful of sweet hooks that help make their work fairly accessible for a broader audience base. Their music is primarily instrumental, though they have been bringing some guest vocalists on their albums as of late, coupled with their turn towards a funkier direction, bolstered by their jazzy moves, synth action and an occasional brass section along the way.

Ra Al Dee Experience – Diatessaron (2017, Germany)

Our next spotlight is on number 556 on The List, submitted by Almoehi.

Once of numerological/occult death metal band Necros Christos, this is Mors Al Ra’s[1] experimental acoustic project with Ben Al Dee,[2] a former guitar student of Al Ra’s who had also guested as a percussionist on a couple Necros Christos albums. The music is heavily influenced by classical Persian and Indian music, as well as prog, and is primarily instrumental. Apparently the album was recorded live with just a few overdubs (a second guitar line and some additional percussion, e.g., tabla), which is impressive for this being just a duo – it sounds much bigger!

I’m not familiar with Necros Christos myself, but a Bandcamp comment notes that Diatessaron is like a collection of interludes for that band, so perhaps check them out if you like this (and vice versa).

  1. Aka Mors Dalos Ra, or Malte Gericke. ↩︎
  2. Aka Ben Ya Min Al Dee. ↩︎
The cover art is some sort of drawing or script in the center in red, with the band name written underneath in the same red, against a light brown/tan background.

Rosettes: Lifestyles

The recommneds often looks to Northern Europe for sick psychedelic Eurojams, not for old school soul, but the pocket in this Helsinki band's debut is deep and incredibly comfy. They're not breaking any new ground, but the homage to classic soul, funk, and R&B sounds is undeniably, satisfyingly groovy. It's your perfect weekend launching pad, happy Friday and... enjoy!

Action & Tension & Space: New Dimensions

Eurojam perfection out of Norway. Your standard guitar, keys, bass, drum set-up takes you on a series of mind-bending, hair-raising psychedelic excursions. It's zone out music you can rock out to and rocking out music you can zone out to. I think you should listen to em all, of course, but this one is a must-listen, one of the so-far year's best. Enjoy!

Using parts from post-punk, shoegaze, and garage revival, Robber Robber constructs a sound that's as rough and unsettling as it is adventurous and captivating.

Find out more about their music at thepropagandasite.com/artist/r

Robber Robber
the PROPAGANDA siteRobber Robber | the PROPAGANDA siteRobber Robbber is a band out of Burlington, Vermont that is led by drummer Zack James and guitarist Nina Cates, whose vocals give off reassuring vibes that all will be well even when their rough, unpolished, and somewhat unsettling sound might suggests otherwise. Their stylistic roots are in the jumpy, dark tones of post-punk and shoegaze, as well as the garage rock revival of the '00s. They work in a consistently jagged esthetic with an adventurous approach that is comparable to Wombo and Palm, who similarly downplay melodies in favor of a bold flow. In a way, Robber Robber expands on and solidifies what Cates and James started doing earlier in Guy Ferrari, a duo that effectively was the band's progenitor.

Bugge Wesseltoft: Am Are

Keyboardist Wesseltoft is prolific as heck and possessing some serious stylistic breadth. As such, this is already his second rec-worthy release of the year and it's appropriately all over the place. Piano meditations, inventive jazz trio work, synthfusion jams, and experimental explorations. Amongst others. It all works, some more than others. Enjoy!

Karate paved a unique path for themselves in the '90s and '00s by infusing their shaggy alt-rock with overt jazz tones and top-notch songwriting, and it's a thrill to have them back again.

Find out more about their music at thepropagandasite.com/artist/k

Karate
the PROPAGANDA siteKarate | the PROPAGANDA siteKarate is a post-hardcore trio that was active (as a four-piece originally) in the '90s and '00s with their unique mixture of emo, indie rock, and jazz, often in different proportions at different times. They somewhat flew under the radar during their most productive years before disbanding in 2005. After a period of re-releases, they got back together on 2024's Make It Fit. The work they produced at their height is exciting and unpredictable, with shades of Silkworm creeping around the edges in the way they balance lo-fi and deliberate pacing against '90s style rock sound and subtle songwriting. The band then adds an entire layer of jazz into their music, most prominently through Geoff Farina's excellent guitar work. This is a band whose catalog more than deserves a revisit by fans who may have missed them the first time around.
