This debut album from Londoner Mikhail Karikis mixes avant-garde classical instrumentation with electronics and pours a dose of expressive vocals on top. The Bjork influence here is on the sleeve, as the first track was previously released on ... Full Descriptiona compilation of remixes inspired by ARMY OF ME. Unconventional sounds such as creaking insects and whistling bats float amidst static and feedback, making ORPHICA both pastoral and post modern--a melding of Greek folk, where ORPHICA gets its name, and electronic pop.

Orphica songs
$13.05
THE SPELL, the seventh release from San Diego's the Black Heart Procession, combines the band's early minimalist tendencies with the rock richness of 2002's AMORE DEL TROPICO. The Procession still wade in dark, melancholic waters, offering up Gothic Americana soundscapes of bleak introspection, but on the aptly named THE SPELL they add inspired songcraft, rock guitars, and pointed lyrical themes--political and otherwise--to their trademark atmospherics. The blend of elements, along with a sense of underlying tension in the playing and song structures, makes THE SPELL one of the band's most consistent and exciting releases.
The Black Heart Procession: Jimmy Lavalle, Pall Jenkins, Joe Plummer, Matt Resovich, Tobias Nathaniel.
Recording information: 2005.
| | Holy Fuck LP CD (2007)
Orphica album
$12.19
Toronto-based electro noise squad Holy Fuck specialize in the kind of unholy racket worthy of their expletive-brandishing moniker. Finely honing their live electronics-aided lo-fi "motorik" for their second album, LP, the band wields overdriven Casiotones against steady-state beats set for oblivion. Upon an insistent, groove-heavy pulse that recalls the hypnotic propulsion of Krautrock outfits like Neu! and Harmonia, HF grafts blistering shards of distorted synth bleat and fractal-chaos effects, creating the kind of psych-noise mayhem that's atypical in the techno-rock fraternity. While tracks like the high-octane opener "Super Inuit" hazard a course midway between noise improvisation and garage punk, others like the nearly-symphonic "Lovely Allen" reveal an almost tranquil, though no less spirited, repose.
Holy Fuck: Brian Borcherdt, Michael Bigelow, Graham Walsh (bass guitar); Loel Campbell Milchem, Matt Schulz (drums).
Additional personnel: Owen Pallet (strings).
| | Beach House Devotion CD (2008)
Orphica CD music
$11.79
Beach House is the musical duo of instrumentalist Alex Scally and vocalist/keyboardist Victoria Legrand. And as their namesake suggests, their music resonates with the kind of languid radiance of a spiritual retreat from the modern world. Building their signature sound from a few spare elements, lo-fi organs, harpsichords, and vintage drum machines, the pair crafts an exquisitely detailed atmosphere from minimal instrumentation. Legrand's hypnotic croon sits pleasingly against Scally's twanging pedal steel lines, suggesting a country-tinged Nico. On "Turtle Island," the dirge-like drone of a harmonium offers a hauntingly baroque accompaniment to Legrand's tale of heartbreak. But somber and downcast is not the only mood on offer: "Some Things Last (A Long Time)" is their version of a Daniel Johnston chestnut, while "D.A.R.L.I.N.G." offers their otherworldly take on `60s girl-group pop.
