For its holy thirty-third release, Drawing Room divinely offers "Rhizomatic Gaze", the newest solo album from Marcia Bassett and Zaimph. "Rhizomatic Gaze" is the ultra-heavy beautiful apex breath of all the wonderful things Bassett is known for: noisy electronic enraptures, forward thinking drone, experimental inventions, percussive plays, and entranced vocal takes. It's absolutely stunning and essential listening in a level all to itself. Admirers of the dark left field need this release. Mastered by Josh Bonati for Bonati Mastering and pressed on 180-gram vinyl, the deluxe 2xLP comes in a heavy stark sleeve accompanied by an 11x22" double-sided foldout poster.

With "Fascism's Intimacy", Dora Bleu delivers an artistic ceremony to the new world to hear and experience. The album is a darkly gorgeous experimental expression of guitar and voice and features the talented Marc Ribot.

With "Coma To Coma", United Waters continues even further down the road of the perfect melted song. Chords drip and flow into each other at a pace equal to honey at 35 degrees Fahrenheit. It's this viscosity that sets United Waters apart from any other band that engages in the song-form. Achievement obtained not by the newest pedals or computer effects, but by playing slightly out of this dimension. It's a sound completely unique yet a sound you knew existed without ever having heard it before. The song-form transfigures into a new body that reveals new energies with subtle lines of force. "Coma To Coma" takes that new body and refines it even further than their previous records. Imagine the painter Francis Bacon sonically slicing and transmogrifying the songs on Lindsey Buckingham's Law And Order and you will begin to orient yourself to the sound of "Coma to Coma."
