Agent Fresco

Agent Fresco is an Icelandic band of startling originality known for volcanic performances of music spanning the jazz, pop, rock & hardcore genres. At the heart of their sound is a lyric intensity that flows through finely crafted lyrics, soaring rhapsodic melodies, sideways-pulling polyrhythms and spasmodic eruptions of aggressive guitar, supported on drums by a rhythmic ribcage varying in style from spiffy jazz to muscular rock. As my friend said: "Dredg meets deftones meets damiera meets mars volta ". Nice company, isn't it? I can't stop listening them - highly recommended!

O'Brother

WOW! This is probably the greatest of my discoveries of this year! EP from 2009 is sooo awesome! I't quite nice how somebody write about it on lastfm: "To break the cimmerian shade of an album based around sleep and its emboss to the natural world a dynamic had to be created, a wall of density given breathe and firm grip around melodies unable to wander. The expected sprawl of soft, then loud, then back to soft was sacrificed projecting a new luminance where the strength was in the tiny twisting light that exhales from the EP as a whole." I have listened new LP only few times, cause... I'm totally in love with EP! LP have to wait. Something for fans of Immanu El, Biology, Moving Mountains... Band is for sure worth to check!

The Sound Of Animals Fighting

The Sound of Animals Fighting was a progressive rock/avant-garde music project featuring members of various bands including Circa Survive, Rx Bandits and Finch. Band incorporated many members and the lineup changed considerably from album to album. Constant members are The Nightingale - Rich Balling, The Walrus - Matt Embree, The Lynx - Chris Tsagakis, The Skunk - Anthony Green. The group was brought together by Rich Balling (Rx Bandits). All parts of the album Tiger and the Duke were recorded individually and each member was only able to hear the part they contributed to the album. The only member who heard the whole album during its recording process was Balling. Amazing avant-garde project, I wish they would have done another one.

Язык Дождя

Язык Дождя (in russian this name has two meanings: the tongue of the rain and the language of the rain) are a Russian post-rock band. They compose instrumental guitar-based pieces in the post-rock tradition. It has easily identifiable connections to genres like shoegaze, progressive rock or art rock. I've noticed that almost every each of russian post rock bands is so much similiar to the Everything Is Mad In China, but Язык Дождя is diffrent - maybe even better! Check them out - I recommend self-titled LP at first.

Dir en Grey

Dir en grey has always been a diverse band. They've done some alternative, prog rock, thrash metal and death metal, and that was just on their first two albums. So what's to expect from their fourth major release, Kisou? Well, once again, it's different from what came before it. There's a couple acoustic ballads, some nice bass lines, great drumming, and Kyo is as diverse as ever, mangling his voice in every way possible. All lyrics are written by Kyo and deal with subjects such as society, mass media as well as sexual obsessions and love, usually with negative implications.
Kisou is Dir en grey's fourth album, in my opinion - the best j-rock album ever. Even if you don't like j-rock at all, you should try it. I know I'm freak, but i love this album :)
