"I was asking, 'What and where is the Black avant-garde?' CODE NOIR and BLACK NOISE were both answers."

Quinton Barnes sat with me and we talked about the ways critical theory informs his music, what people consider to be “cerebral”, and the Black avant-garde.

I got to talk to Matt, the guy behind the one-man bands Tanpopo Crisis, Sugar Wounds, and FUCKED, about his brand of J-Pop and anime inspired metal music. We also talked about how Witchcraft Works served as a huge influence for his music. Read below :)

www.discfive.com/tanpopo-cris...
Aggressively happy grindcore & rainy day metal: the one-man band(s) Tanpopo Crisis / Sugar Wounds / FUCKED Matt Miller talks about his one-man metal projects and explains how he adds a little Kyary Pamyu Pamyu into grindcore. The first time I interviewed you, we talked about how Neon Genesis Evangelion influenced Sachiel. In general, do you find yourself pulling from anime often for your music projects? Sometimes it's intentional, sometimes it's a little more incidental. When I'm watching something, I'll get a little seed of an idea and it'll grow. And sometimes if I'm writing lyrics, maybe some themes from Ergo Proxy or Evangelion will creep in. But there have definitely been a lot of FUCKED projects where it's straight up about one show or loosely inspired by a manga I read or something like that. Not quite as much anymore. But Sugar Wounds especially was very anime influenced. And I mean, I got the name Tanpopo Crisis from the Witchcraft Works manga. It was one of the antagonist’s original names before they changed it. Hang on… I have to look Tanpopo up. Oh, she has a big giant cat hat…she's so good. Oh yeah, they had a pretty good anime adaptation of it as well! Actually, some music from that anime very, very heavily inspired a lot of the Sugar Wounds stuff - a band called fhána did the opening song for that anime. I believe they also did the Dragon Maid theme song. Their one album, Outside of Melancholy, is really, really good and very, very quintessential for inspiring Sugar Wounds. It's sometimes like listening to a J-Pop fairy tale. There's like, horse clopping samples and it's kind of whimsical. I get very inspired by stuff like that for Sugar Wounds because it's happy and endearing. I love hearing things like this, because I wouldn’t have expected anything like that to be a major influence. Sugar Wounds is kind of funny. It's the first project that I've done where I'll read stuff online, and people will be like, “this is obviously inspired by so-and-so band and this band and this band.” And I've never heard of any of these bands that people say I'm “obviously inspired by.” The one band that will come up every once in a while is Melt-Banana. And I'm like, “finally, someone gets it!” This band is like, totally inspired by Melt-Banana, and a band called Midori. They're this weird, jazz-noise-harsh-rock outfit from Japan.

the one-woman feral-metal act Lust Hag’s new album, Irrevocably Drubbed, feels like getting bashed over the head.

she sat down for an interview with me to talk about the album, and you can read it here: www.discfive.com/lust-hag/
Irrevocably Drubbed sounds exactly as advertised, like an endless onslaught of indescribable violence and anguish. There is no respite - even the album’s interlude feels violent in its desolate emptiness. “The phrase ‘irrevocably drubbed’ is a bit of a metaphor in and of itself,” Eleanor explains. “Being drubbed means getting a beating that's supposed to be an act of humiliation or a punishment of some sort, and a lot of times I feel like the album cover, like my head is being bashed in over and over with all this stress from the ostracism and the persecution against trans people.”

"It comes down to the riffiness. I mean, there's plenty of indie rock that’s riffy, but for us, I was thinking about metal riffs." check out our interview with @eatlava.bsky.social to hear more about their brand of tech death indie rock.

hexed was my favorite listen, love the abstract guttural lyrics & the nightmarish rhythms. can definitely feel SOPHIE's influence here

new BRUIT≤ takes frustrations w how tech bro's "more more more" only leads to "less less less" and turns it into post-rock agony

omg she is going to do grimes boat adventure 2

pitchfork.com/news/45488-t...
That summer, the couple traveled 25 hours from Montreal to Bemidji, Minnesota, where they spent a month constructing a 20-foot houseraft on a friend's property with the intention of sailing it down the Mississippi River to New Orleans. They named the boat "Velvet Glove Cast in Iron" and renamed themselves "Veruschka and Zelda Xox" for the trip, as the Tribune reports. Boucher and Gratz painted murals with "fantastical creatures" on the side of the vessel, which they filled with live chickens, a sewing machine, and 20 pounds of potatoes. Yes, chickens. And 20 pounds of potatoes. But soon after setting sail, the engine failed, and Boucher and Gratz spent three weeks traveling downstream, attempting to fix the boat, and dealing with the police.
