Under the handle Hail Mary Mallon, infamous wordsmith Aesop Rock teamed up with the up-and-coming Rob Sonic and DJ Big Wiz for a rather muddled debut album in 2011, but the trio is back with a vengeance for its bassy, creative and crazy sophomore effort. Apart from the comedic theme

Kijinoise by Kijinoise Here’s something that caught my ears while wading through Bandcamp earlier today. Kijinoise is a Chinese musician who has been uploading projects quite prolifically since late last month, using solely a guitar to deliver a fuzzy fusion of drone, noise, progressive rock, doom, and free improvisational

https://soundcloud.com/dancing-wayang-records/alps-extract This one’s a doozy! Percussive madmen Oren Ambarchi and Eli Keszler have teamed up for a compulsive cacophony of drums and guitar called Alps. Comprised of two sprawling and free-form pieces, the collaboration is a thick amalgam of free improvisation, drone, and noise rock
