Jenny Hoyston: Isle Of

jenny hoystonI just saw Erase Errata at the Melt Festival this summer and they totally rekindled my noisy girl-band lust, so I was amped to hear this record. Although some of it is made boring by clichéd phrases like “my love for you runs deeper than the ocean” alongside acoustic accompaniment with other ‘I’m in love’ lyrics that kind of make me want to gag, it’s not without it’s charm. ‘Break Apart, Reattach’ is soft, clever and finishes very to the point at 1 minute 11 seconds. ‘Structure’ is bad-slick sweetness, and ‘Kill Those Thoughts About’ is dynamic and poppy. Half the songs finish under 2 minutes, keeping the catchy stuff short, maybe as a point that a little bit is enough. There is plinking noise, ballads and country influence. Jenny Hoyston’s 4th solo record will probably excite really big fans, and maybe bring a few new ones. It also very obviously isn’t trying to be Erase Errata in any way :: Jenny Hoyston/Isle Of - Southern/Soulfood.

MOUTHUS

Best of the recent Our Mouth stuff is the first Sullivan solo CD-R. Sullivan's comes under the name Eskimo King, and /Tooth-Shaped Migration/ is five thick, detailed chunks of sound spread over a quick 17 minutes. What I dig most about Sullivan is his wide-open outlook on what sounds are worth making. Mouthus may concoct a lot of deep, textured noise, but they also use acoustic guitar loops, dirgey metal-like stomps, polyrhtyhmic meditations, busted rock riffs, and tons more.

„Nein, nein, kein Soundtrack! Wir kombinieren nur die Stücke auf unseren Alben - wir schneiden erstmal alles auf Band mit, um dann, vielleicht Monate später, zu sagen: Oh, das hier passt ja thematisch zu diesem Stück und auch zu jenem. Oder: Dieses Stück würden zu jenen Anderen passen, wäre es nicht so grottenschlecht. Also: Trash it.” Brian Sullivan/HE Interview
