Karen Cooper Complex

Firstly I would like to thank Bill for the recommendation, hey, it seems like people are giving a shit about our blog.

Karen Cooper Complex was a jazz/no-wave/utterly zaney group formed in 1970.
The album I'm going to post, "Shinjuku Birdwalk" sounds a lot like a female-fronted The Residents album, and it's just as weird and as funny like the forementioned group.

1981 - Shinjuku Birdwalk

Amon Tobin

So South America can actually produce some music besides cheesy club-music, Amon Tobin produces some furiously creative electro-jazz crossover with stunning results.
"Bricolage" is his most critically acclaimed album to date, and apparently scored a flawless ten on Pitchfork.com, a rare feat, apparently.
But I must admit, I do enjoy his fourth opus "Supermodified" the most, it has more of an ambient feel to it, and is extremly dark at certain parts.

1996 - Adventures in Foam (He's labeled as Cujo on this, since that was his first moniker.)

Darkthrone

So Darkthrone have released the follow-up to their acclaimed/disclaimed effort "Dark Thrones and Bloody Flags", within the year too.
And, no, it's still some kind of black metal/punk hybrid, so now it feels like the "Blaze in the Northern sky" days'll never be back.

But, honestly, to see this more laidback version of Darkthrone is equaly awesome, it's like Darkthrone actually aim at destroying the entire "kvlt-necrofucking"-image black metal is based around and show us that they are just as stupid, rotten, smelly and as down to earth as anyone else.

God, that was a long sentence.

Anyway, here it is. Enjoy!

Yea, Sunn definitely needs no further introduction. If you're pretentious and hipster enough; this band is the shit. I'm posting their early stuff up 'til Black One, since I haven't heard their later efforts yet. Enjoy.

Erik Enocksson

Erik Enocksson is a swedish musician and also engages in soundtracks.
I find the soundtracks (For the movies Farväl Falkenberg and Man Tänker Sitt) to be a lot better than his solo-material.

2006 - Farväl Falkenberg

Shining

Today, the tiny little guys who's in control of the engine behind the walls of my skull got a rough and slightly chaotic start.

Shining's massive effort entitled "Blackjazz" was figuretively coming out of my speakers like this oozing, black-ish goo. Seriously, I had a hard time cleaning it up.

Anyways, Shining. This is the norwegian jazz/metal/rock/whatever-quartet I'm talking about, and they F***ING ROCK. 'Nuff said, just check it out.

Bricks will be shat, minds will be fucked and oozing, black-ish goo will come out of your speakers. How's that not a good start of your otherwise so boring Thursday?
