New Extruders: “Collapsing New Buildings”

We most certainly do not write about Extruders enough around here. Though, maybe, that’s because they are an absolute stunner live – I haven’t seen them in a very long time (partially because I turned boring and prefer staying in to heading out, partially because I’m bad at keeping tabs on when they play) but the last time I did, they were very captivating…bare, unclothed music joined by sing-talking that comes off like a conversation in progress. Their recorded material is strong too – check last year’s Colors, where the meditative “Collapsing New Buildings” comes from. It has a video now, which you can watch above.

    The line between stupidity and genius can often be very close, and lord does For My Homiez jump-rope between the two. This is an album of songs mostly constructed from samples of SMAP songs, with some tracks warping Johnny’s favorite cash cow into goofy trap numbers over which people rap about…SMAP, and Johnny Kitagawa.

  • New Metome: Turquoise

    If Dialect is one final glance back at a past quickly dissolving away, Turquoise is the first step forward into the unknown. Metome’s first release following that stunner opens with pure unnerving voices looping on “Teeth,” but that’s just scene setting for “Turquoise” itself. Metome moves closer to straight-up ambient music with this one, with…
