A ten track album of dripping moss that minds the listener of a dank sea-cave festooned with the eerie shapes of stalactites and stalagmites as the vocal rotates through the compressed bass and drum kit with the elongated guitar adding to the sense of looming foreboding.

Empty Bottle is the opener.

Problems – Trauma Lips is available on iTunes.*

Serrabulho – Pito Sem Penas – Audio

  By , ,

The quartet of Carlos Guerra (Vocals / Sampling), Paulo Ventura (Guitar / Vocals), Guilhermino Martins (Bass / Sampling / Vocals) and Ivan Saraiva (Drums) from Vila Real (Portugal) who form the alt-metal band Serrabulho released the LP Porntugal (Portuguese Vagitarian Gastronomy) yesterday.

An eleven track album (available on bandcamp) which has something of the theatre of the absurd about it with the mélange of disney cartoon snips, screaming hardcore and sampled human and animal sounds being sellotaped in to each other as though someone has cut through a reel to reel tape and put it back together in a random sequence. 

Consequentially this will divide the listeners between those who will immediately reach for the off switch and those reaching for the volume increase button, that I am suggesting you spend time in their company alerts you to my speaker system playing at full volume.

In addition to instruments / percussion listed a plethora of others including bagpipes, rabel and radufe feature as well as additional musicians to the members who form the band – in the roughly thirty eight minutes of the LP.

 Pito Sem Penas is the fourth track.

bbuteo – disruption – Audio

  By ,

bbutepo is a Portuguese haze-rock duo.

Fairly regularly revealing new material which is always drawn from the well of wide ranging rock, to which they add a shimmering haze that gives the tracks a slightly trippy feel.

The latest song to surface, which serves as an introduction to their material, is the southern-blues influenced disruption.

PeDRo PRaTeS – Every Night – Single Review

  By ,

PeDRo PRaTeS is a Portuguese ambientwave creator.

The prolific output of  PeDRo PRaTeS, each at slightly different modulating frequencies, discovers new material surfacing most weeks, sometimes of triphop, other times downtempo, else as in the case of the most recent song to surface Every Night – ambientwave.

Despite the frequency of new music appearing the quality is never lost and the listener can become completely immersed in the soft frequencies to which the mind and body becomes syncopated and loose all sense of surroundings, hence why it has taken me a little while to get to this article as I have been entombed within an extensive selection of the back-catalogue.

The electronica in Every Night gradually dissolves under its own weight before the next revolution surfaces akin to the movement of waves on the shoreline.

Sloppy Hill – Hit & Run – Audio

  By , ,

The Portuguese sludge outfit Sloppy Hill are planning an LP for this year.

Sloppy Hill

The first song to appear from the album – Hit & Run – was released as a stand alone single on the 31st of December and is available on bandcamp.

The outpouring of fuzzy guitar melded with robust percussion and rumbling bass stirred by a throaty vocal that emerges from the speakers minds the listener of a mud flow as it surges through the room.
