6LA8 – The Moderate Picture

6LA8 is out with their new album called The Moderate Picture. It is a very depressive and socially relevant take on music, post-rock in the vein of Mogwai and Crippled Black Phoenix, being the most obvious source of inspiration.  Nevertheless, this isn’t meant for everyone. Definitely not people with short attention spans. You really need to give it time to sink in or alternatively sit down with a nice book of your liking and have the music playing in the background. Highlights of the album: Drunkards & Soul, Celeplode, In Horror and The Moderate Picture.

Reckoning Storm – Storm Engine (Free Download)

Reckoning Storm, a Karachi based instrumental outfit headed by Saad Akhtar Ali (of Communal Grave fame), has come out with its third release, Storm Engine. The Communal Grave reference alone might not do justice to the name because Saad’s previously been involved with stuff like Lashkar, Age of Peril etc. that go back a lot further than Communal Grave. Gathering from the little Storm Engine that I managed to preview on the internet, it is definitely gonna be worth your while if you’re into stuff like Animals as Leaders, Exivious, Continuo Renacer, Liquid Tension Experiment etc. The afore mentioned might not paint an accurate picture of the way things are with Reckoning Storm because it has a difficult sound to pin down but you know what I mean. :D Storm Engine embodies superb guitar playing and an awesome atmosphere. I still need to listen to the album. I will follow up with a review shortly but I must admit the Markhor’s been less than promising in terms of reviews since Hassan’s departure.

The album is up for free download on the Official Reckoning Storm Website.

Air Liner – Flirting With Cities

Air Liner, a Karachi-based experimental act, just came out with a new single. The music is kind of hard to define. A rough estimation would be Boards of Canada, Telefon Tel Aviv, Aphex Twin, Throbbing Gristle, noise music and post-rock genetically spliced together; an outlandish analogy but what the heck! A highly enjoyable listen. You don’t need to be a fan of experimental music to be able to enjoy Air Liner.
