The Evolution Control Committee is an experimental music band based in Columbus, Ohio. The ECC was founded by Mark Gunderson (a.k.a. TradeMark G.) in Columbus in 1986. They create music that falls within the borders of the sound collage genre, typically using uncleared and illegal samples from various sources as a form of protest against copyright law.

True then. True now.

You know I had the strangest dream

New album drops on March 15th, 2024!

If you were a fan of Camper Van in the 80s, or Cracker in the 90s, this might be of interest. This is the 3rd autobiographical CD Lowery has self-released.

Another 45 bought from the band back in the day.

You know when one of your favorite bands covers a song you already love?

Imagine my surprise buying this 45 back in the day.

This album is a pleasant surprise for me! Their debut a few years ago was basic post-punk, which I liked, but it wasn't really special. This album takes that post-punk foundation and throws a bunch of other stuff at it and it works for me. Some really interesting stuff going on here. Check it out!

"Swing low In a dark glass hour You turn and cower See it turn to dust Move on a stone dark night We take to flight Snowfall turns to rust

Seam in a fusing mine Like a nursing rhyme Fat man starts to fall Here in a hostile place I hear your face start to call

And if you think That I've been losing my way That's because I'm slightly blinded And if you think That I don't make too much sense That's because I'm broken minded

Don't keep it... Inside If you believe it Don't keep it all inside

Strong words In a ganges sky I have to lie Shadows move in pairs

Ring out from a bruised postcard In the shooting yard Looking through the tears Out of a black slate time We move in line But never reach an end

Fall in a long stray town As the ice comes down River starts to bend

And if you think That I've been losing my way That's because I'm slightly blinded And if you think That I don't make too much sense That's because I'm broken minded

Don't keep it... Inside If you believe it Don't keep it all inside."

Gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out

My petty attempts at writing about music might've been even worse 10+ years ago than they still are in the present but at least there's little need for me being too embarrassed about most of the music i've picked back then. Case in point, the new LP of italian group Tiger! Shit! Tiger! Tiger!, the first new music after six to seven years of silence by the group that had the questionable honor of being the subject of the very first 12XU blog post ever (the german language section that is, which goes back to the year 2013 rather than the english section which is less than half as old). Despite their slow pace of output you can't accuse them of lacking staying power, that's for sure! Their sound's progression over the years makes perfect sense to me as well, their excellent 2013 Forever Young LP kinda channeling the bygone late 2000s / early 2010s era of noise pop and fuzz punk groups á la No Age, Wavves and Male Bonding, which then morphed into a more relaxed, indie rock-leaning vibe with on their 2017 album Corners. With this new one, they finally settle into some ultra-classic shoegaze territory with just a hint of post grunge added to the mix, Bailterspace and Swervedriver being the the best comparison i can come up with. Here they slow things down even further without ever coming across as sleepy or boring - it takes a rare amount of elaborate construction work and song-crafting prowess to pull this shit off successfully and these italians deliver on it in droves, more than any other group has done in recent years as it's been a rather sad decade for the genre so far if you ask me, in which most of these groups certainly have all their effect pedals in place while lacking the songs, energy and vision to do anything for me other than gently lulling me to sleep. This one, it sounds kinda oldschool while absolutely not Slowdive-ish and that's like a breath of fresh air to me in these days.

Somehow, Here We Are releases April 12th via Cercle Social Records.

Such a chill remix of a classic
