New Music: Ksitigarbha, Howie Lee, LATENINE6

Ksitigarbha 地藏- 一藏

Shanghai world music prog rockers Kṣitigarbha quietly releases their debut EP, aptly entitled 一藏. A mythic and transcendent swirl of influences and tones as mind-bending psychedelia, world music and neo-folk gets filtered through ravenous and robust rock and roll chops, calling to mind everyone from King Crimson, Omnipresent Youth Society to Jethro Tull (when does a flute not evoke them), it’s boundless in its creativity. Never reaching too far into the abyss, there’s a spiritedness to the way the band giddily dives headfirst into their musical world, and while it at times it threatens to come undone by its own zeal, unpredictable and sprawling as they may be, there’s such ingenuity on hand that you can’t wait to see where they’ll go next. 

上海前卫世界摇滚乐队地藏悄然释出他们的首张同名EP。他们强劲而贪婪的音乐中渗透着令人着迷的迷幻音乐、世界音乐和新民谣,令人感受到神话般的超验体验,并想起了King Crimson,Omnipresent Youth Societ和Jethro Tull,都有着无限的创造力。这支乐队从来没有深入深渊,他们带着一种精神,轻盈地一头扎进自己的音乐世界,尽管有时会因为自己的热情而面临毁灭的威胁,尽管他们可能是不可预测和杂乱无章的,但他们天才令你忍不住好奇接下来地藏会如何发展。

Howie Lee – 7 Weapons Series 某种武器

One of the electronic scene’s most renowned producers, Howie Lee returns to his penchant of fusing traditional Asian sounds into the left-field club music on 7 Weapons Series out on Belgium label Maloca Records. While not as ambitious or dense as last year’s Tiān Dì Bù Rén, the artist’s zest for broadening the spectrum of electronic music and his rampant sampling remains as potent as ever as everything from ‘Tibetan chanting, middle-eastern zurna, syncopated drums, deep and modern bass, (and) buoyant jazz chords’ are synthesized with madcap fervor.
