ONAEW - Hiatus Kaiyote - Tawk Tomahawk

You should try and stick your head between two good speakers to experience the layered complexity encompassed by the tracks in this Aussie-soul beaut. They've done well t'create distinct through lines for the band.

"Please God, save me from such typical places and normal people. They are a mask to hide the Truth of existence."

Great piece from Uncle Pat. Every person is a universe, and has a story.

ONAEW - Qebo - Cellular Spaces

Algorhythmically complex, a concept album made entirely with the Polyend Tracker, an attempt at blurring digital and organic with selected tonal textures. Very listenable, filmic in places and surprisingly groovy.

ONAEW - Rolando Simmons - World Building

Found via "Free Analogue" which has a lovely head bopper of a track, all discordant key changing melody lines backed by a solid groove. The entire release is solid electronica and worth perusal.

If you want to live longer, exercise. Increased muscle mass mediates insulin response and increases balance, reducing falling accidents in old age.

ONAEW - Meshuggah - Immutable
Produced during the COVID years by posting material, pieces written on dev boxes and shared. They created one of their most rhythmic and tonally complex albums through remote wroking. Opening with Broken Cog, a superlative release.

ONAEW - Alluvial - Death Is But A Door
Stumbled on this tooling through Bandcamp. Alluvial's djent-ish/deathcore-ish output immediately lit my neurons up. Fogbelt is something special, growls, wails, guitar screechs, massive syncopation and pinch harmonics!

ONAEW - Mark Pritchard & Thom Yorke - Tall Tales

Sounding like EBM created on a circuit bent casiotone, darkly competent music from Pritchard coupled with phased and manipulated voices from Yorke on tracks like Gangsters this album is a treat.

It would be utterly ridiculous, but not surprise me if wearing certain types of belts and sitting down were strongly correlated with prostate and bladder cancers in men, if not actually causative.

ONAEW - Car Bomb - Mordial

Mathcore, Djent or both. Start as you mean to go on, with a shimmer straight into Fade out, with its cavorting time signatures, woop up-distorted guitars, and some of the best chunky guitars and drums I've heard in a while. Ace.

ONAEW - Moses Yoofee Trio - MYT

Stuttgart basd Jazz folks, released this thing with cadent buzzing whines over tight electric keys, freeform drumming and bass. The sparse vocals end up being the chef's kiss on an already exceptional copse of music.

ONAEW - ir_ - Threnode EP.

Another lovely one from Analogical Force. It reminds me of Wisp, and shares the same musical DNA, pushing square/triangle wave melody lead drum breaks. This is a first EP from ir_ and an amazing effort as his debut.

Basildon gave us Vince Clarke, Alison Moyet & Depeche Mode. It’ll be 50 years since the bands formed soon, feels like we need to celebrate, like a museum, or permie music walk for a synthpop legacy.

ONAEW - Telefon Tel Aviv - Farenheit Fair Enough

The opening chord arpeggiation was lush enough to get me to listen to the entire thing. It turned into a superlative low-fi album, with a more modern chaotically programmed mid-90s AI electronica spine.

ONAEW - Mansun - Six

Mid 90s expansive Brit-rock, which QOTSA'd before QOTSA were fully a thing. Little Kix & Grey Lantern were both spectacular, leaving this middle hard to find. Lovely release, a sonic adventure, the talisman they built post-Lantern.

ONAEW - Periphery - Juggernaut: Omega

The follow on from Alpha, finding love, escaping, finally purging a cult. Taken together with Alpha, this is quite a metal edifice. Defo one of my favourite recent bands, producing two great albums.

ONAEW - Periphery - Juggernaut: Alpha

Missed this when it came out... reminds me of the Queensryche "Operation Mindcrime" concept album, larger in breadth. First of a double release, alpha is about a guy in a cult, escape & institutionalisation made him a weapon.
