Religious Knives
Religious Knives is Maya Miller, Michael Bernstein and Nate Nelson, from Brooklyn NY. They spend a lot of their time playing in bands like Double Leopards, White Rock and Mouthus, and running labels like Heavy
Tapes and Our Mouth, all of which have found loving cult audiences in the land of record collectors and in-the-know noise cogniscetti. Previous RK recordings have consisted of free-floating noise and
lysergic homemade-synthesizer drift. This recent incarnation of Religious Knives has been compared to progressive-rock heavies Goblin and Popul Vuh (mostly by the band themselves)

Amolvacy
The new album, Ho-Ho-Kus (recorded 1/06), is about having one's heart wrenched from one's guts and firmly planted in the dirt. It's also about sprouting new romance, seduction, and a bit about the Church. And the French. Ho-Ho-Kus presents sticky issues like love, marriage, sex, affairs, betrayal, and loneliness, without moral pretense; each song is a release of all associated grievings. Includes members of Volcano the Bear, No-Neck Blues Band (NNCK), and the Laboratory Theater Company.

Rahdunes
FROM PORTLAND PAPER~ prophets of the impending music apocolypse are multiplying like bunny rabbits among them my pick of the week is san francisco duo RAHDUNES. If the violently abrasive are the ones howling fire and brimstone from the mass-release pulpit, then RAHDUNES are meditating in a monastery with a few cd-r gospels. Within them are slow, reflective builds, eerie drones, hypnotic throbs, vague tribal rhythms and enough ragged electricity to remind us again that this is indeed a vision of the post-music world. It's also a blissful gray you can get behind. ~michael byrne (too bad it wasn't david)
