Arctic Plateau - The Enemy Inside



Artist: Arctic Plateau
Album: The Enemy Inside
Genre: Postrock, Shoegaze, Indie
Label: Prophecy Productions
Year: 2012
From : Rome, Italy

Tracklist
01. Music's Like...
02. Bambini Piangete
03. Idiot Adult
04. Abuse
05. Catarctic Cartoons
06. The Enemy Inside
07. Melancholy Is Not Only For Soldiers
08. Loss And Love
09. Big Fake Brother
10. Wrong
11. Trentasette

Childhood and its memories – these have always been important topics for Gianluca Divirgilio. On his debut album “On A Sad Sunny Day”, the mastermind of Arctic Plateau came to terms with his relationship to that period of his life and his memories of a wholly different perception of the world. With his new album “The Enemy Inside”, the Italian musician continues this wallowing and yearning, but he also contrasts it with the realities of adult life in order to criticize the loss of childlike innocence and the blunting of human emotions.

In musical terms, Divirgilio pushes even deeper forward into the realm he entered with his debut “On A Sad Sunny Day” in 2009: dreamy Post Rock meets melancholic singer/songwriter elements, and sometimes this mixture is dragged down to earth by crushing guitars. Hence, the conflict between the world of childhood and adult life is reflected in the instrumentation and the arrangements as well. Divirgilio has this to say: “We are living in a small world full of wonderful and interesting things – it’s only that we as adults have become too blunt to remind ourselves of this fact.” With “The Enemy Inside”, he invites us to become aware of this fact again and maybe discover a spark of our former innocence within ourselves.

Adebisi Shank - This is the Second Album of a band called Adebisi Shank



Artist: Adebisi Shank
Album: This is the Second Album of a band called Adebisi Shank
Genre: Electronic, Math-rock
Label: The Richter Collective & Sargent House
Year: 2011
From : Wexford

Tracklist
01. International Dreambeat (free) 03:50
02. Masa 03:45
03. Genki Shank (free) 04:47
04. Micromachines 03:36

07. Bones 02:52
08. Frunk 03:06
09. Europa 03:56
10. Century City 05:05

Released to European acclaim in 2010, the aptly titled second album from Irish electro/math rockers Adebisi Shank achieved North American release this year thanks to the peerless Sargent House.

The management company / record label describes the trio as a blend of Fang Island’s shredding riffs with Battles’ electronic quirkiness and rhythmic playfulness. That description isn’t off the mark, but readers won’t get a sense of the band’s real abilities until they hear its hyper-melodic, polyrhythmic, and — most importantly — jubilant songs in full.

Second Album delivers a maelstrom of zany electronics, unusual distortions, and triumphant, rapidly ascending scales mixed with vintage synths, marimba, horns, and other accoutrements. This is all packaged between and around gloriously catchy and powerful rock riffs, resulting in a manic and buoyant sophomore effort.

To listen to The Soft Hills' music is like wandering through a magical landscape where horse-like creatures run wild across velveteen fields and mythological birds soar under melancholy clouds.

IWKC or I WILL KILL CHITA (the band's name jokingly refers to fraternal tensions between members in the past) came to be in 2008 when the Samarin brothers, Nikita and Nikolai started a chaotic punk-garage band. The search for their own stylistic terrafirma as well as competent partner-performers has continued through almost three years. The band produced two EP’s and consolidated finally as a quintet of Nikolai Samarin (keyboards, guitars), Nikita Samarin (drums, electronics), Andrei Silin (keyboards, electronics), Alexander Ivanov (bass), and Artem Litvakovsky (cello). The current line-up tends to perform well composed and arranged, completely instrumental, playful and melodic form of music with certain influences of neo-classic, art-rock, neo-psychedelia, and post-rock trends.

Red Orchid will without doubt do well not only with progressive rock fans, but also postrock and fans of music with a psychedelic tint. "Blood Vessels & Marshmallows" has both tracks with structure and composition as well as tracks with a heavy jam feel to them. Actually the album is constantly surprising. This alone should arouse the interest of the curious music lover.
