Best artist Indie of 2009 secondo DeBaser.

❝ Let's cut the crap, there are no other bands like Oneida.

❝ Nowadays, old ladies with strange teeth no longer ask you to paint their fences.

❝ Sometimes it happens that I tell myself "...thank goodness albums like this come out!"

❝

"These guys are criminals."

❝

"The fact remains that these three gentlemen have now returned to being the best power trio around."

❝

"We are the Motorpsycho. Your musical and cultural characteristics will be assimilated. Resistance is futile."

❝

And in the end it happened, it was to be expected, and it's beautiful and right like this…

❝ And I kept calling my failures misfortune. Damn S F O R T U N A.

❝ "S F O R T U N A", 2009: bad luck has a new charm.

❝ 'Sfortuna' is better than medicine.

❝ Thank you, because it is wonderful to have a little light that glows so much, even from afar..

❝ An album by the Black Heart Procession, specifically this "Three" (published by Touch and Go in 2000), in its repetition, in the cyclical expression of its concept, is a religious experience.

❝ This album sounds dark as a starless night, ominous like a warm wind bringing dark omens, heavy like a cart full of the diseased advancing slowly and relentlessly, indifferent to everything.

❝ The piano is struck, often violated, with a physical attitude that is audible on the album, while the troubled voice vomits fears emerging from childhood.

❝ Piano and laptop immediately engage in a dialogue with an intense voice, comparable to the pathos of Nico, but with a more gentle aftertaste.

❝ Here she comes, our little sad girl.

❝ Nils and Peter stayed two nights to record these solo piano pieces, captured by countless microphones scattered around the church, thus revealing its natural, nocturnal, and intimate reverberation.

❝ Very beautiful music. Cerebral, if you will, but still enjoyable.

❝ Nils Frahm effectively presents himself as a kind of visionary artist even on a morphological level, literally transforming his instruments like an alchemist according to the needs and sounds he intends to reproduce.

❝ “Is the Actor Happy?,” his fourth album, represents a temporary exit from this tunnel of loneliness.

❝ “North Star Deserter” is a heavy, powerful, almost mean recording, so physical that it scratches the skin, pervaded by deep melancholy and suffering.

❝ And so, two years after the beautiful “North Star Deserter,” “At The Cut” is released; an album that does not differ much from the previous one, but draws an even sharper line on the fascinating union between songwriter and post-rock orchestration.

❝ Animal Collective are constantly on the move.

❝ Animal Collective is the psychedelic group assigned to us for the new millennium. We should be grateful to them. They are unique.

❝ Compact, cohesive, at the same time cunningly pop by their standards and subtly psychedelic in the cyclical repetition of loops.

❝ "Sounds from a Future Past"

❝ "Rtz" is not music, it’s not entertainment, it’s an atmosphere.

❝ Pretentious, very pretentious. The most "I’ve got a big dick" record of Ben’s entire career, there’s little to say, there’s little to do, the evidence travels between anvil and hammer.

❝ "Samadhi State" is a dialogue with the inner void, a soliloquy of unconscious echoes, a state of ecstatic hypnosis and catatonic trance.

❝ This is an excellent dark ambient album: make it yours!, genre enthusiasts, and, more generally, admirers of cosmic music, the most cultured post-industrial music, the most mystical and dark avant-garde.

❝ The Faun are five Teutonic knights capable of bringing to light one of the most obscure and fascinating musical traditions of their homeland, namely a typically pagan/medieval folk that is often translated into modern terms through evident darkwave influences.

❝ "Renaissance" is only the third in a series of albums that have suddenly catapulted them into the ranks of the most well-known and relevant bands in the medieval folk genre.

❝ Perhaps one of the saddest albums of the year, certainly also one of the most intriguing and fascinating.

❝ When you compose a song like “Kettering”, with that sad piano riff, as if it were coming from the next room.

❝ The Antlers, or their ghosts, I find them elegant, with their feet on the ground and heads in the clouds.

❝ Patrick Wolf: singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, Londoner, born in 1983, that's what matters, stripping away a whole series of unnecessary critical/commercial labels of which I just don't know what to make.

❝ Patrick Wolf is an enormous talent. One on whom I would bet.

❝ No pressure, Paddy, but... No need to further dilly-dally, Patrick Wolf is great: he has a style easily recognizable but with broad horizons, voice, personality, energy, impact, no significant shortcomings.

❝ The Creation is tinged with Apocalypse; Evil lies at the Origin, as does Good, after all: the Bible reinterpreted and revised by David Tibet.

❝ “Nature Unveiled” (1984) remains, over time, a surreal and esoteric nightmare of mystical and satanic power.

❝ David Tibet, the frontman and mastermind of the ingenious Current 93, once again manages to describe this sensation of perverse disorientation with perfect emotion.

❝ Om was the sound that God uttered when He expressed this will: "I am One; I shall become the many."

❝ Inside Emil, outside Chris.

❝ the sound that comes out of Cisneros' bass is something you don't hear every day, thrilling!

❝ For the person writing to you, the best band of the last 25 years.

❝ Go without bread, for once, but by divine goodness, not without a work like this one.

❝ These gentlemen are extraordinary, no doubt about it: enjoy listening and welcome back to Isis.

❝ It's now official: I have a crazy crush on King Bong.

❝ Honesty: In certain places, with the right light and the correct temperature, it opens new doors. Other times it’s a boulder, the rock of Sisyphus, forget it.

❝ Finally a group that bewilders my senses.

❝ It’s no coincidence they are called Arbouretum.

❝ This is rock.

❝ I can confidently say that Antony is an extraordinary singer.

❝ This record is love. Pure love. Love for music.

❝ Antony has a wo-n-der-ful voice, Lou Reed called it "angelic."

❝ Pressing the play button on our player after inserting "Flight of the Behemoth," is equivalent to finding ourselves in the middle of the roadway and raising our middle finger against an angry truck driven by Satan himself: the damage is done, all that's left is to make the sign of the cross (north-south-west-east) and perish. Amen.

❝ This is why it's advisable to listen to the record at unbearable volumes, you have to be submerged and overwhelmed by the breadth and height of the sound, you really have to be completely enveloped by it.

❝ Maximum Volume Yelds Maximum Results

❝ The album “Respiri”, published by the equally prestigious Italian label Ark Records, boasts a disarming intimacy, entirely acoustic, warm, and Mediterranean.

❝ An obese album is never beautiful.

❝ A fucking bomb!!! This album is a bomb... truly beautiful.

❝ Capovilla was born in 1968 and debuted with Teatro in 2007;

❝ Everything else is noise. The rest is Zu.

❝ The Zu are from Rome. Yes, it's good to start right off like this: clearly.

❝ Zu are drums, saxophone, and bass, with numerous collaborations from more or fewer prestigious and/or famous names from the worldwide jazz/avant/blabla scene.

❝ "There's some really dark stuff and some psychedelic rumba. It's all that stuff I grew up with: all those bluegrass harmonies. I experimented a little with the instruments" Dan Auerbach to Billboard Magazine.

❝ Is there neo-folk in Italy? No, but there are the Ianva.

❝ Ianva is a unique and unconventional project within the Italian music scene.

❝ make this contemporary art gem your own, it’s unacceptable that only a few enjoy it.

❝ "Zora", first published in 1977, is one of the most emblematic masterpieces of Italian occult progressive rock.

❝ We are faced with one of the most arcane works ever composed in Italy, of undeniable artistic value, representing, along with a few others, the peak and unreachable sum of the "The Dark side of Progressive."

❝ What emerges is not only the pinnacle of Bartoccetti’s artistic and philosophical research but a true nightmare set to music that, in my opinion, finds no equal in rock history (if it’s still appropriate to call it rock).

❝ Few bands open their hearts to serve it on a twelve-centimeter-diameter platter. 

❝ Novelty is the watchword for this group, always.

❝ The Gathering has always proven to be a chameleon-like band, emblematic in its musical directions.

❝ A supergroup can't help but write a superalbum.

❝ For this reason, it’s hard to find models: more Pink Floyd than Mogwai.

❝ The price of admission, however, is justified alone by “Bastogne Blues,” or: twelve minutes of god.

❝ Viva Emptiness is a journey into true and sincere darkness.

❝ Describing Katatonia’s masterpiece, now dated 1996, without exaggeration is utterly impossible.

❝ Katatonia dispel any doubts that had crept in of late and close a circle probably fueling all the class they had in the tank; nothing better could have been asked for.

❝ “I See A Darkness” is one of the most dramatic, moving, and profound albums one might come across.

❝ Will is a foreigner of the world, an alien storyteller.

❝ Bonnie “Prince” Billy's records slip into your home unnoticed.
