CAREER IN ROCK: When Athens music luminaries Curtiss Pernice (Porn Orchard, Vic Chesnutt), Ballard Lesemann (Roosevelt, The Rock*A*Teens) and Larry Tenner (Magneto, The Lures) get together, it’s time to sit up and pay attention. Their group, Vicious Devil
COMING IN HEAVY: The proggy-psych sounds of Stephan Eutsler’s new album Meditations of the Infinite Mind traverse a fairly wide field of related sounds. It takes nearly a full minute for the album to get going with opening track “Deadman,” including an intro that very specifically recalls Pink Floyd for a few seconds. But this is just Eutsler warming up. He gets into heavy post-acid rock territory with “The Rougaro,” which is easily as strong as anything, say, by early Rush or Jethro Tull. The album was mixed and mastered by engineer Chris Byron, who certainly did fine work on standout tracks like multi-sectional headtrip “Brothers,” gentle arpeggio meditation “Embrace II” and shape-shifting early-1970s rocker “25 Fools.” This is a […]

THUNDER AND LIGHTNING: After a few delays, the new album from Garett Hatch,
HOLLER BACK: I was introduced to Hole Dweller, the recording project of composer Tim Rowland, just over three years ago. Since that time he’s been pretty quiet, but there’s a brand new album out as we speak named Long Road Home. His central aesthetic is still woodland magic with a healthy dose of Tolkien, but it feels like the latter is starting to retreat somewhat. This is what we call pleasant music.
HUMAN INTEREST: Sometimes an album comes out that just grabs me by the throat so immediately I have to ask, “Are you kidding me?” Such is the exact case with the new album
GO TO THE PLACE: The next instance of Sonic Space at ATHICA, one of the very final occurrences of this incredibly thoughtful and decidedly curated series of live shows, happens Friday, Oct. 10. Featured that night is Gong Slayer (Albuquerque, NM), who performs what’s described as “experimental immersive gong drones.” Also on the bill are rock-solid locals
THAT’S ALL FOLKS!: Hardcore heroes Big Trouble released its final collection of tunes back in August, but it just landed as a cassette release by scene agitators and enthusiasts Hard Tack. Y’all, this is five songs in under five minutes. It’s straight-up, chunky hardcore punk that at times feels like it’s going to slide into crossover or thrash territory, but pretty much stays in its lane. The vocals are completely inscrutable, so the lyrics are meaningless, but that shouldn’t take away any enjoyment you’ll get from this. Find it at hardtackk.bandcamp.com.
POSTSCRIPT: Pretty much hot on the heels of his latest album, Enervation Land, Garett Hatch has released a four-song EP of acoustic tracks named Solid Ground. On it, he revisits three of his songs and strips them down. First is “Face Card Blues,” which he turns into a deep meditation. “Town” embodies the same energy, but due to the song’s construction is necessarily more driving. His acoustic version of “The Speaker” shines specifically with its fingerpicking and a sound arrangement that gets more intense as it goes. The title track is a new one, and it’s much more whimsical and resigned-sounding than the others, but this song of self-reflection is wonderfully lyrical and contains, to my ears, a very specific […]
