Random Album of the Day

The Random Album of the Day is The Eye from K.U.K.L.. This is a 1980s Icelandic punk or perhaps more post-punk band featuring Bjork. And her presence is obvious on this record. And the sound should feel overall familiar since 4 of 5 members are also in the Sugarcubes. So there is a lot of familiarity in fact.

This is a good post-punk record. It has an experimental edge to it which really works for me. This is almost more experimental rock really. Which is not surprising given those involved. It is good to know these folks were making good and weird music before the Sugarcubes.

Rating: 9.5

Favorite Track(s): “Let Us Get Rid of the Bomb” because we should get rid of all the bombs honestly. “Blackeye” for good use of the flute followed by a good haunting tone, “Assassin” for its New Wave sounds, “Spire” is just a good tune, “Dismembered” has a good tilting thing going on. Honestly I would have expected less good tracks but this is a good record.

Keep or Trash: Keep.

Random Album of the Day

Today’s Random Album of the Day as The Blackest Eye, an EP from Aye Nako. They are queer punkers from New York City featuring a couple of California exports from Fleabag.

They were active from 2010 to 2017ish. This EP dates from 2015 and has very good, mature indie punk sounds. I suppose I feel more of a Indie Rock sound. Edgy without being overly noisy. And who doesn’t love a queer punk act? Besides loser bigots.

Their music is slightly aggressive without losing good melodies. The vocals are underemphasized in a good way. Over-emphasis on vocals can be a mistake unless you are making vocals-based pop or something like that. Though sometimes I also think the vocals are too buried so there is that.

They also use good stop and go techniques at times. Something that has always worked for me. Overall, love this album! Love their sound! It was also popular with my wife!

Rating: 9.4

Favorite Track(s): Killswitch or White Noise

Keep or Trash: Keep. Honestly I need more of their material in our collection. Will work on that when funds allow. In the meantime we do have this EP on vinyl which is nice.

Here in is just some music I found that I liked or was interesting while I have been sitting out my quarantine. This will meander a bit. I have a lot of listening to catch up on but these are items of interest to me – and maybe to you.

LeftyFish

I’m pleased to report that LeftyFish has had a couple of releases since I last wrote about them. Soooooo goooood. Gotta like noise though.

The Ice Age

Let’s start with the interesting. This is a long lost record from Indianapolis’ psych/hard rock band Ice (aka Zukus). Not bad. More interesting than good perhaps. Certainly good enough to have released i’d think

Beybonlar

This is interesting. This is some Turkish Psych from 1969. Pretty nice.
