Kicking off with Popul Vuh chanting their way out of consensus reality, then working upwards. Also achieving orbit are one but two numbers from Godspeed stablemates, Esmerine taking on a Turkish sound and HRSTA making Morse-code riffs happen. Swans go surprisingly ambient after falling into the good company of improvising Australian trio the Necks. Manchester nosiemonsters Gnod… well, make some noise, as is their wont. And then there’s Lankum. Because you can never have enough existential Irish folk, am I right?
The title and illo’s from a Jack Kirby ‘Fantastic Four’ strip. No, I’ve no idea what it means either. But it felt appropriate.
Popol Vuh : Agape-Agape
Esmerine: Translator’s Clos
HRSTA: Swallow’s Tail
Labradford: New Listening
Swans (with the Necks): The Nub
Gnod: 5th Sun (Chaudelande Version)
Hey Colossus: Lagos Atom
Lankum: The Pride Of Petravore
“Secrets behind the grading
Vortex in the ether
Voices crackle in the air”
