the sheaves — A Salve for Institution (Dot Dash Sounds/SDZ)
Tumblr media
The sheaves, from Arizona, make music out of disintegration, out of entropy, out of the center not holding. Two guitars battle in screeching, trebly agitation, way up on the neck in close, painful intervals. The vocals, often doubled, talking over one another, mutter lethargic, illegible poetry over the bump and clangor of post-punk catharsis. A tootling keyboard drifts into view, its mad circus vibe not at all cheerful, more haunted and eerie. The drums flail wildly trying to keep this fractious stew of sensations in some sort of order; it works about a quarter of the time.
The band’s last album, Excess Death Cult, came out on Minimum Table Stacks in 2023, with much the same anarchic energy. In my review, I observed, “Like end-stage Fall, the sheaves are always falling apart, always dissolving into chemicals, always losing the thread. Listening to Excess Death Cult Time is like trying to make sense of a dream you’re having, not later, but while it’s still going on.” Nothing in Salve for Institution has changed my mind about his fascinating, enticing but off-putting band.
Except that maybe, the last one had a couple of semi-bops, if you can extend your definition of “bop” to include the swampier territories of GBV, the more obstreperous, late-period regions of the Fall. This one is harsher and more confrontational all the way through, its riffs going off like rubber bands made of barbed wire, snapping back to hurt people, yet snapping all the same. The sheaves scrawl in black sharpie on industrial grade sandpaper, emphatic but blurred enough at the edges that you can’t quite make out what’s going on.
They start right in the middle of things with “Toilet of Venus,” a scrum of guitars caught mid-sentence in a continuing rant, as the singer mutters disconsolately, over enunciating but never quite making himself clear. It ends suddenly in a souring chord, which hangs like the dust the Road Runner leaves after he’s jetted off to parts unknown.
Songs like “In Center (X-Static)” groove slouchily, mired in inertia. Riffs like Saints’ outtakes rage then slip under a muck of hiss and static, but the siren-y call to arms gets through. “Dull Harem” jitters a la Bog Shed drunk on cough syrup, its hammering cadence of guitar/bass/drums slurred over with narcotized chant. The sheaves are under no obligation to make things pretty for you; they’d rather smear sharp contours with messy drawls.
And those are the “song” songs. “To Leave Sanctuary” emerges out of inchoate drone, a bit of the Stooges “Dirt” in its detuned howl. Dual guitars ping blues bent dissonances. The vocals overlap, talking past each other, a word or phrase (“Can you imagine that?”) occasionally breaking through.
You can’t quite make sense of the sheaves’ music, it is powerful anyway, and maybe the struggle to understand it contributes to the appeal. “Sanctum Cross” is a pop song with a 100 needles sticking out of it. Grasp it hard, and you’ll end up bloody, but admire it from a step away, and you’ll see it glitter.

As I heard "No Lateral Line" from The Sheaves (Phoenix, Arizona) I thought three things: first, this doesn't sound like current music. Second, this reminded me of The Fall and The Herms.
Wow. If I was taking a Snooping the Bandcamp test, I would have gotten 100% since those three observations were made on January 28, 2024 when we posted about their debut LP.
"A Slave For Institution" is due on June 20th via Dot Dash Sounds and SDZ. None other than Tom Lax (Siltbreeze) wrote a short review on the Bandcamp page which included the following observation regarding The Sheaves as "an outfit of desert peccaries whose swinley snouts have expertly strung together another string of stinging pearls for thine earholes."

Trying to get out of a drawing rut that's lasted...awhile, so I've retouched one of my old pieces. Go see the original, here: www.deviantart.com/joephilliac…
The original version used a Kate-FoX base and a couple of free texture bases from siriur-sdz.
Go check them both out, they're lovely:  kate-fox.deviantart.com sirius-sdz.deviantart.com

this blog's gotten stagnant not because i don't feel wild 24/7, not because i don't have posts i could share here, but because it is just so uncomfortable and unpleasant for me to queue anything now. it's a hassle. and now the backlog is daunting.

Good luck if you do listen to any of these. I have to keep myself to the sleep ones bc I know if I so much as touch any of the bf ones I’ll fall harder than I already have 😭
Here’s my recs <3
https://youtu.be/eWSaYjeFLFc?si=8g8ib-8XEJ5v-Sdz
^^ Minho (skz) and his cat Soonie! Breathing and purring (there is another one I’ve found that tries to have all three of his cats but I personally don’t like how they mixed the audio. I prefer this one)
https://youtu.be/piGl463_jqo?si=eDZyGgw4yB4BA0Mw
Another generic and genderless ambiance, with rain, traffic white noise, and shower sounds for the first part of it that transitions (around the 10 minute mark) into the character climbing into bed with you and falling asleep
https://youtu.be/kkYp3DActdg?si=EPHLQyxeFwsdsvah
Han (skz) (my bias) typing and mouse clicking, little voice sounds (hums and sighs) but no talking. I use this one more often to write to than sleep to, but it’s nice
Omg tysm for these links 👩🏻‍❤️‍💋‍👩🏻🩷 I tried listening to one of them last night.... bro the moment i heard them breath i felt like someone was actually hugging me or smth and i slept for 12 hours 🤡 i woke up at 5.30 pm today so i just wanna assume its bc of the audio i fell asleep to😭

Casual Meeting.
It's been a HOT minute since I've drawn and coloured anything Transformers. I started colouring this... probably a year ago? I don't even know tbh. I managed to get most of it done, but then I took a huge break and when I came back... I kind of forgot how to do ANYTHING when it came to colouring again. Honestly, I know I'm out of practice because even the tablet pen felt weird to my hand, and that's so sad >:
Anyway, have a little casual meeting between Megatron and Karmashock in my universe :)  Karmashock is probably still too big in size, but to resize him it was just too much work for someone who has taken such a long break from drawing.
Also, my old Photoshop doesn't work anymore since they killed it, despite the fact that it was a legitimate purchased disc I've had for like 20 years  D'XX 
Texture from Sirius-sdz (as always because they're the best! )

It's been 7 years since we posted anything from French label SDZ Records (Paris, France). In the past the label was mentioned when posting about Le Villejuif Underground.
It looks like the founder of the label was perusing music on YouTube when they ran across the music of Silicone Values (Bristol, UK). To me, the band sounds like they are from the late 1970s - a mash-up of Television Personalities, Cleaners From Venus or Swell Maps (their catchy songs). I also thought of Hygiene's great "15 Minutes City".
If you're looking to hear more, here is the Silicone Values Bandcamp page. Reading some of the information on their releases it looks like members of several older bands drop by to record now and then, including The Moles.

De Algemene Verwarring #111 - 29 April 2024
Episode one hundred and eleven of De Algemene Verwarring was broadcast on Monday, April 29, 2024, and you can listen to it by clicking on the link below that will take you directly to the Mixcloud page:
First of all, apologies for the late update of the Tumblr page again, I'm kinda slacking with it lately. Sometimes there's just not enough time to get everything done. The usual order is: Monday: making the episode, Tuesday: putting the show online and spreading the word on the social media, and Wednesday: Tumblr. But you know sometimes there's just other things to do on Wednesdays and then I tend to forget the following days. Anyway, let's get down to business. Pictured below is the Australian almost unpronounceable duo Troth. I recently picked up the CD compilation of their early work "Uncut Flowers", released last year by the fine people of Fördämning Arkiv, and I absolutely love it. It compiles early very limited cassettes and some compilation tracks and I think that at this very moment I like it more than the two albums I have from the band (one on Knekelhuis and the other on Mammas Mysteriska Jukebox), but I'll have to give those two another spin. It's a pretty unique band anyway, combining elements of the Bristol scene with dub and kraut influences. Very good release, and it's still available at Discreet Music. And it's on CD and yeah seems like the noise and experimental scene is totally into CDs again and I don't really have an excellent cd player anymore so it's always a surprise if it will play or not, but this one does so me happy.
Some other music in this episode: Primetime, Blank Statements, Lime Crush, Jeanines, Paperniks, X-Mal Deutschland, Can Kicker, Rose Mercie, Cindy, Nina Harker, and Mosquitoes. And beneath the photo you can find the playlist for the show. Enjoy!
