Are you feeling right?
Are you feeling tight?
Are you might?
You might as well be, for this is a remix of Black Moth Super Rainbow’s “Blurring My Day”, this one done superbly by High Tides. Feel like a massage? A mirage? Solange? Soothe and let it smooth.
Or so they say.

Girls Names are from Belfast, and they will be releasing their next album called The New Life on February 18th via Tough Love (UK) and February 26th on Slumberland (US). Their debut album Dead To Me received positive reviews, including from Pitchfork and now they’re ready to show and prove that they still have what it takes to keep people’s attention.
“Hypnotic Regression” may be what it takes to keep that attention going for a long time, as you will hear. If you’ve heard their first album, this new track shows what else they’re capable of doing, when doing it is a must.
This Disgrace is the new album by sludge/noise metal monarchs Art Of Burning Water and is a split release between the SuperFi Recordings and Swarm Of Nails labels, with each label getting 150 copies each to sell. To hear what they’re about, check out the Bandcamp player below. To pre-order your record (which comes with free code to download the album as MP3’s), head on over to RiotSeason.

T-QRON has dropped a new track produced by Anno Domini Beats called “A Lady Named Misery”, which is done over Don Henley’s 1984 hit single “The Boys Of Summer”.. T-QRON rhymes up to the verse that is my favorite part of the song, and while I don’t want that to take away from the integrity of the song and what it means to me, it works quite well here. Have a listen.
Big Bennett Bionic is a decent rapper who knows how to pull out the best from his writing and deliver it in a fashion that is meant to impress, and it does. However, he also has a tendency to drop lyrics that should have been edited a bit before executing in song, and thus the imbalance I hear on his album, Art Of Peace (self-released).
The album begins with a silly intro before going into the explicit “HIFTBSYCWABS”, which stands for “Hit It From The Back, Smack Your Clit With My Balsac”, and at first I’m thinking okay, is this all that he’s going to offer: sex rhymes? The next track is what should have started the album, “Lights Out”, as he drops some incredible rhymes in a way that I would have loved to give this song a first impression. Or “Cut It Up”, which teams him up with Tony Conquerrah, Thinkwell, & Mungo the Bird Man that shows him to be a madman on the mic, I was highly impressed with both. The vibe of the album dims somewhat with a slow track called “Lilah”, which goes on for 8 minutes and 6 seconds, about 4 to 5 minutes too long. It comes off like someone leaving behind a message on a cell and Big Bennett Bionic’s voice stays on a level that goes nowhere for me. I understand it being an ode to a lady, but I would have loved a different direction with each verse. “Adriana” is a bit more mid-tempo but comes off humdrum.
On the music side, I do like the fact that most of it is not brickwalled beyond the point of no return, so while some of it is a bit sparse, I like the fact that it’s well mixed and produced, making the entire album easy to listen to. I would have loved a bit more bass and boom to these tracks so it would come off as having more activity than it does, but it works for the most part.
I’m not against sex rhymes by any means but it seems out of place on this album, and I don’t think it’s the best way Big Bennett Bionic could have started Art Of Peace. Had he started it with an interlude or spoken word piece setting up the premise for it, it would have made more sense but after hearing it, I had to ask why it was here in the first place. With a bit of fine tuning, Art Of Peace could work but that’s what creating your own playlists are for.
