New Wave of Lo-Fi Girls

What do you think of all those bands/artists? You know, U.S. Girls, Circuit Des Yeux, Zola Jesus etc.

Dishes haven't been washed in a while.

I like all those 3 a lot, especially Zola Jesus who I think is really something special, I ordered that XXperiments comp yesterday, and the 2nd Zola Jesus single. Caldera Lakes are really good too, although they are more on the noise side of things.

Do any of them have tramp stamps?

greedrex · 12.04.2008, 07:24 AM

I have the U.S. Girls CD-R that Chocolate Monk put out. I've only listened a couple times but it wasn't as good as I was expecting based on the description. Should probably listen to it again. I hear the LP is meant to be very good.
Have not heard of those other two bands. Will investigate.

I've heard something by Caldera Lakes a while ago, but can't recall what they sounded like. U.S. Girls and Circuit Des Yeux for the win. I have the 'Poor Sons' 7'' by Zola Jesus which is good, especially the title track and 'The Way'. I'm not so sure about the song 'Dog' which kind of reminds me of a badly recorded female Coldplay, for some reason.

I think that I might prefer Circuit Des Yeux to the other two, now. I mean, 'Symphone' is such a fucking WEIRD record.

Not sure if she quite fits here (I've not heard any of the bands so far mentioned) but Miss Alex White has been a fairly constant presence in my CD player of late.

i prefer circuit des yeux live, but us girls on record.

batreleaser · 01.02.2009, 12:02 PM

ive been hearing about circuit des yeux quite a bit. ive heard theyre similar to us girls, but even wierder. the us girls siltbreeze lp on the other hand, is tied for my favorite record of the year, i really think its the freshest sounding thing ive heard in a long time. people are lumping it in with eat skull and psychedelic horseshit, but the us girls seems to be its own thing entirely, and is much less rock based.

its really refresing to see women getting in the mix of wierd and exciting music as they were seemingly almost absent for a while in the harsh noise scene. but even that scenes got gals like leslie keffer (who rules) and jessica rylan (who annoys the shit out of me with those silly masturbatory squeals and shit, i heard the new record is good though so ill check it out).

uhler · 01.02.2009, 01:41 PM

circuit des yeux is really good. check out.

yeah it worked well might do something with it label wise.

listening to the set from last night which was cool.. she played a analog 4 track reel to reel through an amp, of recordings she pre-recorded and fucked with the tape speeds, and then did vocals through a bunch of effects over it.. one track sounded like a Lez Rallizes Denudes song without the band.. just the vocals and feedback.. was excellent.. i told her afterwards thats what i thought it sounded like and she knew the track and said it was a song called Yoko and me and was from a dream she had... pretty funny.
