Iva Bittova – Entwine/Propletam - May 2014 May 18th, 2014
Iva Bittova stands alone in the isolated star-shaped 17th century Czech church of St John of Nepomuk, at Zelena Hora, her quavering explosive vocal and stark violin humming in the cold stone acoustics. Bittova blends ancient Eastern European folk phrasing with experimental modal improvisations and ecstatic ejaculations, an analogue gypsy Bjork, or some conservatoire star…

At Southend and Wiesbaden he simply says what he sees, field anthropologist style, and scrambles the documents. On Screams Of Undead Earthworms he fearlessly enacts the tiny hermaphrodites’ agonies. On the inner sleeve,…
Vialka – A L’Abri des Regards IndiscretsVialka – A L’Abri des Regards Indiscrets - April 2014 April 28th, 2014
From their rural French fastness, Marylise Frecheville (free jazz percussion and torch singing), and Eric Boros (anarcho-art-punk guitar and stentorian declamations), continue to surprise. Largely sung in English, and enclosed in a 54 page cloth bound libretto, A L’Abri des Regards Indiscrets pitches reproachful psychoanalytical duets over slapped face rhythms, broken gutter blues, and anthemic…
