Stream this right now!

Cover - HRComing from France (yes, another French band covered here, if you want to complain, please do so at the British Government), Nooumena call themselves ambient art-rock (as their album art might have led you to believe), with hints of experimental and progressive elements into it.

That’s actually pretty accurate.

What’s more interesting is that they execute their styles of music incredibly well! There are some great ambient, jazzy parts on the album, like the opener “Nameless Reward” with it’s saxy bits and jazzy tastiness.

Everyone involved seem to master their instrument, which is the least … Read more

Pryapisme – Rococo Holocaust

by Dæv Tremblay

Stream that right there !

2629382824-1I think the best way to describe the music of Pryapisme is by reading the terms they put in “tag” on their bandcamp page :  8bit black metal disco metal progressive rocococore chamber music electronic experimental jazz nintendocore.

You can play this while receiving your eccentric and marginal guests for dinner, or when trying to figure out the meaning of life, gazing … Read more
