David Byrne - Everybody's Coming To My House The album will be called American Utopia. It almost sounds like a "dissing" to American Dream (LCD Soundsystem). It has a lot of Murphy’s vibe. That would be quite entertaining.

The Slits - Spend Spend Spend McLaren tried to make the Slits the "female Pistols." The fact is, they, Raincoats, Au Pairs, Bush Tetras, Delta 5, and Martha & The Muffins were the perfect "Riot Girls."

An incredible album that could only be featured in the #buzz section and that could only be brought to my attention by an enlightened listener like @ALFAMA.

Urban Sax - Urban Sax (Cobra, 1977)

"Urban Sax" is an experimental project by French composer Gilbert Artman, founded in 1973, and primarily based on the simultaneous use of a variable number of saxophones accompanied by only percussion and, at times, vocals (although over the years, Artman has also opened the project to other types of instrumentation; it's worth mentioning that live performances involve at least forty people, and in some cases, even exceed one hundred). The compositions clearly have a minimalist character and are distinguished by what is essentially a drone sound rather than something evocative and neoclassical. The project, moreover, encompasses a broader concept and is not limited to music alone; it is always constructed and developed around a concept specifically designed to be performed live and varies according to the architectural structure intended to host what is a true happening. An all-encompassing artistic performance (often executed with the involvement of local artists in the places where the collective performs) in which musicians wear space suits and gas masks, creating futuristic suggestions. Essentially, a multimedia project that Artman has been carrying on since 1973, with this eponymous LP being its first release, originally published in 1977. Needless to say, we are faced with something impressive. The sound is practically half an hour (divided into two compositions) of pure avant-garde drone sound reproduced simply through the use of the saxophone (16 in total) and the masterful direction of someone we can define more than just a musician—a true visionary: Mr. Gilbert Artman.

Check out this great EP #zot2017 packed with bluesy acid vibes.

Firefriend - The Black Hole (Little Cloud Records, January 28, 2017)

This psych trio from São Paulo, Brazil, led by vocalist and bassist Julia Grassetti (with Carlos Amaral and Yuri Hermuche rounding out the lineup), has blues burning deep in their soul. Firefriend has been around for about a decade and has recently started to gain attention beyond national borders, confirming the excellent moment for psychedelic music in South America. Signed by Little Cloud Records (who will also release their upcoming LP "Sulfur"), the trio released this EP titled "The Black Hole" on January 28, which, despite its brevity, can rightfully be described as a true bomb. The band's sound is a drone psychedelia infected with that noise aesthetic derived from experiences like those of Sonic Youth or the more experimental Blonde Redhead, along with reverberations inherited from the long tradition of the 13th Floor Elevators. Dominating it all is the imposing voice and expressiveness of Julia, a vocalist (who somewhat resembles Tess Parks, the protégé of Anton Newcombe) who could be described as a female version of Jim Morrison, fully devoted to hypnotic practices that she manages to pull off perfectly. What can I say, I’m genuinely looking forward to the album's release with great expectations.

Orange Juice - Simply Thrilled Honey It was supposed to be a worldwide success (or European, if we want to be cautious) like the singles from the Human League's charts. It wasn’t, but in the "orange squeeze" it went decidedly better with the anthems "Rip It Up" and "Falling And Laughing".
