be____all - be____all (2012)

be____all is, for lack of a better word, an enigmatic artist(s?) from Massachusetts. They make what they describe as noise pop, and it's exactly what it sounds like. This album clocks in at just under 20 minutes, but it is not an EP, from what I can gather. This self-titled release conjures images of travelling in a metro train, late at night, with only your thoughts and the twinkling city skyline accompanying you. A pleasant, if slightly unsettling ambient experience awaits the listener, and this album (as with all their releases) is available for free from their bandcamp.

be____all is the be all, end all artist of noise pop. Fans of music that's a bit "out there" will enjoy them.

Ringfinger - Decimal [2008]

Ringfinger is the brainchild of Tracy Wilson, of Dahlia Seed fame. While Dahlia Seed were seminal in pioneering the emo genre, Wilson's Ringfinger project is far removed from her emo roots. A large collaborative effort, Decimal features guest collaborations with musicians from Sunn O))), ISIS, Cave In and Dälek, just to name a few. The result is an experimental album of great proportions, stylising itself through indie, pop, electronic, ambient, drone, noise and a plethora of other sounds, this album is one hell of a unique listen.
