Comment: at the Daydream Generation (it is a whole universe of very intriguing combos) site it is admitted this album is quite unusual with regard to differentiation in style. Indeed, these 11 compositions are quite far away from more and less quirky folk genre being extensively represented via CLLCT, Quixodelic, and Daydream Generation (all these sites have frequently been or had frequently been joint platforms for the same issues). Phasetron's issue is enough hirsute and powerfully galvanised to get instant attention. It harks back to classic rock tradition of getting energy from muddy and dirty blues rock even if many songs are balladry inflected and slowly paced ones. On the other side, it can stand for contemporary college rock influences which used to water down a little bit its ferocious facade. Instead of it I would like to hear more stoned and demented garage and garbage induced madness. However, the combo's choice can be understood as a possibility of realising slots within the music. Moreover, it will open the doors to enter into AOR stations. So partake of something.

Comment: indeed, David Lynch has been back for a while through his music (The Big Dream (2013)) and the revitalisation of Twin Peaks in 2017. However, he is also over the place thanks to tributes paid by others to him. For instance, the recent 13-notch outing by Etterem which in turn is directly inspired by Lynch's book Catching the Big Fish (2006) by arguing on how to suppress negativity and bring forth more positivism in one's life. The main idea is to do it through meditation. On the other hand, it should not be messed up with Dale Carnegie-alike books of which quixotic appearance to hold on the main theme provides no viable duration. Musically it is a very interesting issue extending from plunderphonics and mash-up elements to sultry post-punk thudding and the most pre-eminent thread, Celtic music progressions in many variations, through microscopic noises, provoking sonic effects. At times those numbers chime in a mind-blowing, majestic way as if The Pogues or The Dubliners were produced by Simon Jeffes himself. Furthermore, there are also up more roots related numbers full of minimalist beauty and austere yet uplifting magic. The aforementioned post-punk and electronically induced numbers do demonstrate specifically Lynch's mystical, dreamlike nature towards the art. By citing Lynch the issue shows up contrasts and turn on the lights (read it as music in the recent context) and darkness goes. The release is a part of the discography of an Italian imprint, Nostress. No stress.
