ה​ג​ל​ג​ו​ל ה​ש​נ​י של א​י​ת​י מ​ט​ו​ס (המפורסם) / / / The Second Coming of Itai Matos

Our dearly beloved friend and collaborator, Itai Matos, has released an album, which we support and even assisted in the distribution of.

Titled "The Second Coming of Itai Matos", it's an honest diary, obsessively documenting self analysis, introspection, anxiety, pain, love, addiction, restlessness and other, more mundane happenings.

This weirdly beautiful collection of songs is the epitome of TFIM (The Famous Itai Matos), it's all over the place, navigating the wide spectrum of rock, channeling influences, stirring up memories, it's a homage, it's a work of outsider art, it's everything all at once.

Spoken word poetry read over synth noise, followed by surf music, followed by 90's electro-rock, followed by more 90's style alternative with noise rock influences, suddenly exploding into something that's more of the same and yet something completely different. It also mixes English and Hebrew. It's an all around mash up. 

It's a strangely addictive release, as it's more rewarding than it is challenging, even tough it's not a easy listen. It demands another round and yet another play. There are obvious ups and downs, there are interludes and aural assaults, there are unexpected climatic culminations. 

Above anything else, this album is an obvious labor of love, and it's kind of infectious.

gaop - Jar of Fears

We have wonderful news, there's a brand new release from gaop! It's dark, it's jazzy, it's piano-lead dark ambient with sad undertones. A 47 minute long odyssey with a winter feel to it.  The aforementioned piano is accompanied by metallic percussion, woodwind shrieks and a generally brooding atmosphere created by layered effects. The sound is one of minimalism, but not in an uneventful way. The release is free to stream on most platforms, but also available for digital purchase on gaop's bandcamp . This release is another one in gaop's experimental celebrations of post-jazz and post-classical sounds, via a mesmerizing dark ambient, a contrast to his harsh noise releases but not venturing far from "noise" in general, it might be more user friendly, but the color palette is the same. The feedback, the humming drones hiding in the background, those are dead giveaways. The album is a hauntingly beautiful collection of sounds that delve into the depths of
