SEPTEMBER 2, 2014 (WEEK #36)

1.    APACHE DROPOUT-“HEAVY WINDOW” (9/2) 

2.    BLONDE REDHEAD-“BARRAGAN” (9/2) (2014 release, the ninth studio album from the Alt-Rock band. BARRAGAN is ambitious. Tracks like 'Dripping', 'The One I Love', and 'Defeatist Anthem (Harry And I)' have all the emotional punches of previous high water marks in the band's repertoire - the just feel slightly less calculated, more serendipitous. Formed in 1993, Blonde Redhead have never made records for fame, or for money, or to ape their teenage heroes, or to indulge any of the dumb, ephemeral impulses that clog up the blogosphere with dumb, ephemeral music. They make music, simply, because they have to.)

10. EARTH-“PRIMITIVE AND DEADLY” (9/2) 

11. ELEVEN TWENTY NINE-“A TITHE TO HELL” (9/2) (For its eighth label release, Drawing Room presents the second album from the enigmatic ELEVEN TWENTY-NINE--TOM CARTER and MAC ORLEANS on guitars and MICHAEL EVANS on drums--are masters of incendiary free rock, drawing on lineage that includes but is definitely not limited to CHARALAMBIDES, SUNBURNED HAND OF THE MAN, and GOD IS MY CO-PILOT. Eleven Twenty-Nine's second full-length album A Tithe To Hell explores far darker and heavier improvisational worlds than their debut. Charting hidden infernos of sounds with ostensibly 'rock' instrumentation, these three gifted musicians spill free-flowing sounds that sweep the listener into hermetic spaces outside of consensual genre boundaries. For lovers of Charalambides, Bardo Pond, Sunburned, and free music of all genres, A Tithe To Hell is an essential listen.)
