Vanishing Winter is the Dear Eloise‘s fourth 7” on Genjing Records (and seventh release overall), is a departure from the playful shoegaze-influenced pop purity of their earlier work, tacking down a darker path:

Li Daiguo, the acclaimed boundary-pushing musical polymath known as much for his complex compositions performed on a wide spectrum of traditional instruments as his often-bewildering live performances that have seen the American-born Chinese cavort with gypsies, tramps and other self-described lunatics alongside some of the country’s most respected avant-garde and experimental musicians. His latest effort, the seven-inch vinyl release Music for Advertisements, sees Li presenting a series of sonic advertisements for seven locations that the 32-year-old appreciated during his six years in Chengdu. „I practice a lot of different styles of music, including shona music, classical Indian, Chinese and Western classical music plus different types of Chinese opera and the like. (…) The Music For Advertisement 7″ is about emotions that I observed and had that were associated in my mind with things going on in Chengdu when I lived there—not necessarily big things or events, but just little things that you might notice and have a feeling about. (…) And how long you sit there and watch, listen and what the day is like will obviously affect the mood—like hoards of rickshaws and cars and bicycles like massive schools of fish through the smog or the dark dampness of a TB hospital where people are full of a variety of emotions while waiting in line outside under the perpetually-grey skies of  Chengdu to test their blood or do X-rays and not cough blood everywhere.”

The Dyne „We got together in Beijing in Spring 2012. It’s me on guitar and bass and another guy, Bai Tianke, on drums and percussion. I was in the original lineup of Beijing indie folk outfit Fragmentary Portrait from 2003-05 and a member of Rubber Phonographic Needle until 2010. Bai Tianke was the original drummer for Careless.” Minimal surf rock:

GUITAR WOLF EURO TOUR IN JUNE-JULY

Riitaoja is a Finnish band. His first album is a very quiet record. Good to listen. So much that I didn’t want write about it, but during the listening their music took me in the mood to write. Lack of something better I call this style slow country – doom folk. Sometimes they remind me of the Bohren und der Club of Gore. I understand sole word from the entire album: pizzeria. The album was recorded in the communal living room of a municipal summer house during one of the snowiest winters in recent memory.The drummer was in the one of best Finnish band, Sielun Veljet.

Hungary is a very strange, surrealistic place, for example our Dear Leader is an orange midget in raised heel shoes. His newest slogan is ora et labora. Pray and Work. This is the Benedictine Order’s slogan. Apropos, order. The country is full of big propaganda posters:  + 3500 POLICEMEN. HUNGARY DOES IT BETTER. Briefly we are living here such as in a Roald Dahl novel that take place in a post-soviet state.

The Hungarian hip-hop scene consists of wide pants, baseball hats and slogans. My favourite story about them: some years back an organizer team invited 50 Cent to Budapest. He came and took the fee before the gig then went to the club. There he said that the place is big pile shit and the organizers breached of the contract so the gig is cancelled. The organizers entreated him, but he stayed unyielding and went back to the hotel. Naturally he didn’t give back the money. Thereupon the organizers called the police to one of Budapest’s most expensive hotel. You try to imagine the scene! Two policemen arrive before the Hotel Le Meridien (by the way there was the headquarters of the Budapest Police until 1997), where a team is waiting, they have on gangster rap style masquerade. The gangster rappers greeting to the policemen, explain the situation and ask help. They go into the hotel and call 50 Cent down in the hall. Thereupon the policemen don’t speak in English so the gangster rappers are translating. The policemen ascertain that there didn’t occurred crime so ask autograph and say goodbye. 50 Cent goes to the airport and flies to Amsterdam. Respect!

The best hip-hop act in Hungary is the Budapest based international Homeless Millionaires with English, American and Hungarian members. They use instruments like guitar, drums and percussions too, and play, say, experimental alt-hop. His first album has been released recently and it is very good. There you don’t find any pose, stupid lyrics and musical cliches.

Bobafett, the best Hungarian language rapper is living in Amsterdam and working as a rickshaw. His third album has been released recently too. It is free to download.

őrjöngő szamarak
vágtáznak, szaladnak
gyilkolva harapnak
jaj ennek, jaj annak!
