The Helen Scarsdale Agency: Fire and Ice
“Some say the world will end in fire,” writes Robert Frost, “Some say in ice.” A pair of new albums from The Helen Scarsdale Agency represents both viewpoints: Jim Haynes‘ Scarlet the former, Sigtryggur Berg Sigmarsson‘s So Long the latter. As I write

Abre Ojos ~ Fracture
We open on the shot of a priest, but it doesn’t remain benign for long; the head splits in two, a demonic voice erupts, and the entire screen fractures, reflecting the title of the DVD. Abre Ojos clearly has a bone to

Logan McBroom ~ Orchestra Death
The eye is drawn to Iris Childres’ intense cover art: a woman is dangled and decapitated, and yet there’s no blood. She seems resigned, even defiant; no scream escapes her lips, no contorted mask of pain. She seems alive and

Isobel Ccircle~ ~ The House in the Harbour
Once one gets past the name of the duo, a moniker that defies spell checking, one is freed to enjoy the music: in this case, a haunted house tape based on a detective’s personal journals. Coffin bells ring, specters glide

Gil Sansón ~ Ese maldito yo/El ocaso del pensamiento
Some crazy stuff is happening in A.F. Jones’ stunning video for Gil Sansón‘s “pensamiento en su ocaso,” as it is all across the tape: time-distorted samples of Sun Ra, Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest, ELP and more. It’s all a reaction to

Stage Hands ~ S/T
A follow-up of sorts to The Meets’ It Happens Outside, Stage Hands finds Brandon Locher collaborating with Gerald Mattis and friends for a head-nodding rock and electronic experience. Fittingly, this short, fun LP has found a home on My Idea of Fun,

Kreng ~ The Summoner
Don’t be fooled by the incredible teaser, which features the grinding doom and screaming vocals of Amenra. The Summoner is a subdued album that culminates in cacophony. But watch: here are the dozen stringed instruments, the long, slow draws. This is
