“I like how Ed Kuepper - like Lou Reed or Bob Dylan - doesn’t want to replay the hits as was and at the same time doesn’t pretend to not have a past nor a future.”
-Jim White
“Jim is one of the finest drummers I've seen and heard anywhere, totally gets inside of whatever he's playing in an unpredictable and exciting way.”
- Ed Kuepper

THE MARS VOLTA - Cassandra Gemini
exas’ most brilliantly bizarre band- these list wich the best song
As cliché as it sounds to say, The Mars Volta were truly a one-of-a-kind band. Formed by vocalist Cedric Bixler-Zavala and guitarist Omar Rodríguez-López after the break-up of their previous outfit — Texas post-hardcore/art-punk troupe At the Drive-In (of “One Armed Scissor” fame) — the ensemble quickly and consistently built upon those foundations to incorporate wildly bizarre and wholly idiosyncratic fusions of progressive rock, free jazz, Spanish rock, psychedelia, avant-rock, ambient, and more.
While influences like King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Can, Fela Kuti, Miles Davis, Mr. Bungle, and Frank Zappa were apparent, The Mars Volta succeeded at establishing their own precise and surprisingly successful (commercially and critically) sound. Although the group was only around for about a decade, they managed to produce an astoundingly distinctive, ambitious, and enduring catalog that debatably ranks alongside the work of those forebears.
Be it the troubling atmospheres of De-Loused in the Comatorium, the experimental genius of Frances the Mute, the relentless multifaceted fury of The Bedlam in Goliath, or the comparatively digestible Octahedron, The Mars Volta remained reliable yet refreshing and innovative across all six of their LPs. It’s no wonder, then, why members of Protest the Hero, Mastodon, Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, Tool, The Ocean, and even Rush have expressed appreciation for what they did.

SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE - THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN'T DO [Official Music Video]
One of the more brilliant records I’ve heard so far this year. A bunch of yer favorite indie or pop structures abstracted behind a haze of noise and general unpredictability. Getting too attached to any particular riff or (apparent) chorus line, no matter how gripping, would be a mistake if not for the arrival of another just around the corner. The more you listen, the more it all opens up and makes some sort of sense. Plays like an odd carnival ride, and so the cover fits.

Robin Crutchfield was one of DNA's founding members - Raven's Wing
Robin Crutchfield was one of DNA's founding members. After leaving the NYC band, he formed his own project Dark Day, devoted to an experimental and disquieting use of synth. After releasing Hands in the Dark / Invisible Man, an interesting single, he published his magnum opus Exterminating Angel: minimal synth textures, gelid bells' rings, screaming guitars, robotic vocals, theatrical recitations, baroque sensibility and a dark, distopic and depressed attitude makes this album an innovative output in early 80s scene. Robin Cruthcfield's journey into a desolate and mechanized modernity has the shape of a deep and disturbing psychodrama; not very far away from no wave's aim.
Pere Ubu - Chinese Radiation
Their story begins in the hyper-industrialized, polluted and unnatural Cleveland of 1975, where David Thomas -a music critic- and Peter Laughner - an intellectual guitarist- left the proto-punk band Rocket From the Tombs to form a new group: Pere Ubu, named after the pièce Ubu Roi by Alfred Jarry, a masterpiece of experimental theater from the beginning of the century. These two are soon joined by Tom Herman, Scott Krauss, Allen Ravenstine and Tim Wright.
After some disappointing appearances in front of Cleveland's careless audience, the band moves to New York having the opportunity to support Suicide in concert at Max's Kansas City. There Ubu record two singles of dadaist rock, music immersed in a desolate atmosphere overflowing with dissonances (30 Seconds Over Tokyo / Heart of Darkness at the end of '75 and Final Solution / Cloud 149 in 1976). The sound is even more acid in the subsequent 7": Street Waves / My Dark Ages and The Modern Dance / Heaven, both of 1976.
The first shock come in 1977: Laughner leave the group in june to form Friction; shortly after Tony Maimone replaces Wright, who left to join Arto Lindsay's DNA. Thomas is now undisputed leader of Pere Ubu, and by the end of the year they record a first album, The Modern Dance, one of the masterpieces of the new wave throughout: the album delineates the apex of the process of contamination of the rock matter implemented by the band: free-form compositions, rhythmic variations, electronic noise, detuned guitars, clumsy voices, all to represent the alienation and the human neurosis arousing in urban and industrial environments.
In 1978, during the European tour designed to promote The Modern Dance, Pere Ubu sign a contract with english label Chrysalis for which they record their second album, Dub Housing, even more desolate than the previous one: while The Modern Dance was some kind of a summary of Ubu psychosis till then, Dub Housing lives of some kind of astonished awareness, as a critical acceptance. Both albums are either archetype and unsurpassed peak of the New Wave scene.
A year later, Pere Ubu are touring Europe again, supported by bands like The Soft Boys and Red Krayola the leader of which, Mayo Thompson, starts a friendly and professional relationship with the band. After having participated in full to Red Crayola's album Soldier-Talk (a superb anthology of free-form experimentations and psychedelic effects), Pere Ubu record New Picnic Time, kinda return to the initial impetus yet a more anarchic work than both previous albums.
In 1981 Thompson officially joins the group in place of Herman and takes part in the recording of The Art of Walking, the more unapproachable and psychedelic work Pere Ubu ever made: experimenting on music seems now more important than telling stories.
In 1982 the band, also thanks to the new drummer Anton Fier, unexpectedly changes direction again with Song of the Bailing Man, the more jazzy, peaceful and flowery album of Pere Ubu, as if all the worries all of a sudden have vanished.

Thick Pigeon - Sudan
LTM specialises in re-releasing music originally released by Factory Benelux, Les Disques du Crépuscule and related labels in the early 80s. So it’s totally in my wheelhouse, and I used to buy tons of stuff from them… but then I forgot? For a decade? So I have some catching up to do.

Peaches - F*** The Pain Away
Twenty years ago, a Toronto musician who used to go by the name Merrill Nisker wrote a jaw-droppingly bold track called F--k the Pain Away.
At the time she wrote that song, Nisker had been kicking about the local music scene for a number of years playing in various folk and indie-rock bands.
When she started to mess around at home with a groovebox drum machine, not only did Nisker's sound change, but her entire persona changed as well. She became Peaches — a foul-mouthed electro-punk rapper in pink leather hot pants.
The myth of what I represent scares people': Peaches on her music and new body positive art exhibition
It was an act that was a bit too hot for Toronto at the time, so Peaches moved to Berlin where her sexually explicit songs found a much warmer reception. The moment she dropped her debut album, The Teaches of Peaches, in 2000, she became an instant icon with a list of celebrity fans that included the likes of Madonna, Pink, Yoko Ono and Iggy Pop.
While Peaches' music and stage shows have become even more outrageous and explicit over the years, at the heart of her work remains a serious critique of the patriarchy, gender norms and the objectification of women. Those themes are on display — literally — in Peaches' new solo art exhibition running now in Hamburg, Germany until Oct. 20.
Accompanying the art show is a touring live show, There's Only One Peach With The Hole In The Middle, featuring almost 40 musicians and performers presenting the past, present and future of queer feminism. It will be staged Dec. 28, 29 and 30 in Berlin.
Peaches joined q's Tom Power from a studio in Berlin to tell us more about the exhibition and to reflect on her musical legacy.

The group began as a solo project for Stefanie in 1990, during which she composed four tracks that were later released in 1998. During the mid-90s, she and Micha connected through the German label Hausmusik and made two releases under the name Ogonjok. Drawing on Stefanie's solo project, the two joined up again to form Ms. John Soda in the early 2000s, toying with pop and electronica to form a sound often compared to that of Lali Puna.

Special Friend - Ennemi Commun
Comprised of just guitar, drums, and vocal harmonies, American/French duo Special Friend have an economic approach to indie rock that still manages to make a big noise. The duo of drummer/vocalist Erica Ashleson and guitarist/vocalist Guillaume Siracusa first made a rushed and scrappy self-titled EP in 2019 before stretching out on their still compact but more fully realized first full-length album Ennemi Commun. Special Friend's sometimes delicate, sometimes excitable songs take notes from some fairly commonplace indie influences. The unhurried pacing, simple sing-song melody, and kick into friendly distortion on the chorus of opening track "Motel" are all straight from the Yo La Tengo playbook. The hushed intimacy of "Movement of the Planets" recalls the pristine sadness of bands like Bedhead, cutting deep to an emotional core without ever rising much above a whispe
Major Murphy - Access
2021 In between their full-length debut and, almost exactly three years later, second album Access, Grand Rapids, Michigan's Major Murphy added a fourth member (multi-instrumentalist Chad Houseman), and project leader Jacob Bullard and bandmate Jacki Warren welcomed their first child. The couple's son features heavily on some of the songs here, including singles "Real" (which involves teaching him to breathe through his nose) and the '70s FM radio-friendly "In the Meantime" (inspired by a health scare). Musically, the album adheres to the more wistful end of classic rock influences, showcasing Bullard's way with a moving melody while venturing into a more expansive, rock-oriented palette. Access was recorded in Bloomington, Indiana, with No. 1 (2018) co-producer Mike Bridavsky along with Ben Lumsdaine (Kevin Krauter, Mike Adams at His Honest Weight).

Cheer-Accident Track 29
Originally formed in 1981 by Chicago-based pianist and drummer Thymme Jones, Cheer-Accident has maintained an impressively eclectic approach to music-making throughout their lengthy career, releasing a slew of albums that range in style from noise rock to avant-prog to pop. Unsurprisingly for a band that has been active for well over twenty years, the line-up has shifted on more than one occasion (including the tragic and untimely loss of their then-guitarist Phil Bonnet in 1999), but throughout their career Cheer-Accident have continued to produce challenging and unique music; constantly refusing to pin themselves down to a single genre.
2009 saw the release of Fear Draws Misfortune on Cuneiform Records. A punchy, dark and consistently challenging slice of avant-prog, this album alone more than justifies their inclusion in these archives. Other albums of particular interest to avant-prog fans include 1988's Sever Roots Tree Dies and the more recent Introducing Lemon.
Comparisons to Thinking Plague and other American RIO-tinged avant-prog bands are justified but they do little to capture the utterly unique spirit and sound of this band. Highly recommended for fans of complex (but uncluttered), highly-composed and unpredictable avant-prog.
