As you might've noticed, its 9/11 today. Of course with such a major event there have been numerous songs made about it, some in memorial, some making fun of it, and even some that support the atrocities committed on that day.
NEWS AT 11 by 猫 シ Corp. is one of the best memorial albums I've heard for 9/11, and the concept is just brilliant. Many people claim that the world changed with the attack on the Twin Towers, and it really did. This album focuses on before those changes, before the plane crashes, happened. The theme is the morning of 9/11, when it was just a regular day, and the album samples numerous television soundbytes of that morning. It can also have a bit of a double meaning: morning, mourning; you see where I'm going with this, right?
I don't listen to nearly as much vaporwave as I used to, and 猫 シ Corp.'s editing is extremely minimal (they basically just make it sound like its playing on a VHS or cassette and that's it), but the album is very enjoyable nonetheless. This is honestly one of my favorite vaporwave releases actually.
For whatever reason though, they also felt the need to include tracks made out of a VHS tape about The Weather Channel. Yeah, WTC and TWC have the same letters, but was this really needed or appropriate? I personally see this as kind of a double album as the second half is so detached from the central theme.
You can check out this album here (vaporwave is just stolen music so I suggest downloading for free and paying for original music instead): https://news-at-11.bandcamp.com/releases
This video actually went up on Sunday, but might as well share it here too. I post these videos everywhere, but here on Lolita Catacombs I'll give some thoughts and commentary on the releases~~
A golden listing means its my favorite of the week~~
TV1716 - CantLoveCat - Las desventuras de mi gato CantLoveCat appeared on Tsundere Violence previously with a nice housey track, and now they're showing their experimental side with a really nice noise EP. The tracks are varied and this has some really great noise. Some tracks are more intense and some are more experimental and industrial; there's even a chipnoise track on here~! If you like noise this is definitely worth downloading~~
TV1717 - Distorted Vortex - left to die. (REMASTERED) I honestly don't know why I've been getting an influx of dubstep submissions lately, but the music is good and people have been enjoying it. This is a really nice EP full of bass house, dubstep, and a nice d'n'b track. The entire EP is really good, but I especially love the bass house tracks on this, those are crazy good.
TV1718 - Ninja McTits - Facebook Live From My Bedroom 1/20/2017 & 12/8/2017 This is a release of mine, been slowly releasing a bunch of stuff from my archives. I honestly thought these were released but then discovered them with raw file names. There used to be videos of these but they're now gone. Maybe I downloaded them at some point, but I honestly don't know. I skinned my finger and thought I broke my amp, good times~~
TV1719 - Shitwiz - Beverage AcidShitwiz lately has been experimenting with live-improv dance music. First was a gabber release (also on Tsundere Violence), and now a really nice acid album. This release is full of funky basslines, some are fun to listen to and some are totally banging. Really nice rhythms in the whole thing throughout~~ TV1720 - Lord Cernunnos - Sunflowers Really nice glitchy noise single from Lord Cernunnos. Sounds like took a noise recording an did "speedrush glitches" on the whole thing, I think there's equipment that can do this too, I honestly don't know what method they used to make this but it sounds really good. Nice to see Lord Cernunnos experimenting with more spastic noise, really nice stuff. Also I love sunflowers so bonus points for that~~ TV1721 - ★Lolitwinx★ - ADSR -alternative-
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA this album is so good~!!! ★Lolitwinx★ is one of my favorite Tsundere Violence artists, and this album is insanely good. Its full of j-core, progressive trance, progressive house, future bass, dubstep, hardstyle, lolicore, etc. The album is full of bangers and I love the heavy amount of atmosphere in this album. Sounds like lolis raving in clouds of cotton candy, really amazing stuff; this is definitely a must download, my favorite of the week. Also, this is an alternative version of their self-released album, ADSR. The two versions sounds quite different and ADSR has some extra content, so make sure to check that out too (its on their Bandcamp)~!
