Hi there,
It has been a long time, since I didn't review anything, but today is a day in which I can't remain silent. I discovered today an excellent band from Madagascar, namely the Dizzy Brains. They dig their energy in the roots of the garage sound, and make me think of The Vibrators in a more rocky fashion.
I discovered them through a Facebook share, of their astounding video of Vangy, with the lyrics in French and English.
They are a band from Madagascar, and it makes me think that melodic punk rock gem may come from the southern territories, for the near future.
Yeah, that's because we are talking about garage punk here. The Dizzy Brains perfectly understood its spirit, and are outputing it as if their were raised listening to the best garage bands.
A few songs are available on Reverbnation, some of them in free streaming, some of them for free download. Too bad that their whole EP is not available for free download, but you know what it is, I choosed to review here music from all origin, no matter if it's available for free download, no matter if it's made available under a free license like Creative Commons.
But hey, have a stop now and go give the band a listen on their Reverbnation page, you will be happy, for sure.

The Binary Marketing Show - Anticipation of Something Else
Hello,
I'm here to talk a bit about a release that is available from Already Dead Tapes and Records, in a limited edition of 100 cassettes (digital download included).
Well, at first sight, it looks like an indie rock band playing IDM in a lo-fi way. Sure, lo-fi this album is. You got the warm sound of delightful handcrafred music. Warm and overdriven, seems the album to be. May I add that I totally enjoy and like the production ? It has, for sure, nothing to do with the cold-like-ice music you will find on mainstream media. Here, the feeling is important, and the mankind touch is really here. The voices and synths are warm, really warm, it has nothing to do with Kylie Minogue latest piece of ice.
What could I add ? I like this release a lot, mainly because of the supernatural beats and the masterfullness that manifest itself in every track. The songs are short, poppy, and make me thing a bit about experimental hip-hop like Cloud Dead or TTC used to make. You know, when the beats sound like a motorcar engine that has one piston out of order. In any case, highly enjoyable and never boring, the tracks of this recording are like a travel in strange seas, and the trip worth its price.
Think about it. For the price of a single cassette, you'll have access to unknown territories of sound, as I said never boring and while deeply experimental, still poppy as hell. The production, I already told you, is generally speaking very nice, with a lot of overdriven synths and never aggressive for the hears. In short, a masterpiece, that you could still enjoy many years away from now. The synths are sounding vintage, a bit 8-bits, and do a lot in the overall quality of the recording, along with the slightly detuned vocals.
What could I add, again ? I know it is hard for me to convince you to buy an album only with these little characters I'm sending through the net, but trust me, go take a look at this album, you won't be deceived. Which is usual with Already Dead Tapes, I must admit. I said the synths were vintage, and sure they are. If you like the warmth of 8-bit sound, you sure should take a listen, you won't be deceived.
To end this review, I would say that The Binary Marketing Show achieved a great success in the domain of music at large. Hey, I have not finished. Did I say that there were string instruments (a guitar, probably) that are mixed with synths ? OK, now that's all I wanted to say. Go take a listen, you will come back later and thank me for the advice.
