1. Tekla Goldman – Taśma (2023)
🇵🇱 The first day of February brings this record full of emotions, passion and infectious tempo. A toothy reptile from the cover and a rattlesnake on their side turn to be handsome and hospitable. They invite us for an improvised party in the garage. Let’s wipe the dust and enjoy the music in the middle of the mosh pit. The quartet shares the inner energy with the audience and thus it becomes something externally uniting our souls in
a weird action.

2. Seum – Double Double (2023)
🇨🇦 Our next guests from Montreal, Canada have brought basins of fat with them. On this album, you are going to get even more rawness and concentrated rage than before. As always, here are only bass, drums, frantic vocals and sludge, sludge, sludge. Don’t slip or you won’t survive. The power trio has put the title track in the end. The meaning is dealing with a coffee punch. In fact, they will really bash you with their sound. This is quite enough to gain courage and listen to the entire album wide-eyed and slack-jawed.

3. Sial – Sangkar (2023)
🇸🇬 It’s a culmination of fury! This time, the epicenter of the earthquake was found in Singapore. Its source is local troublemakers led by the restless lady called Siti. Their new EP has even more viscous and deliberately dirty sound than previous stuff. An uncompromising heavyweight with a female face and a sharp themes. Nowadays, the house is nowhere, there is barely any security, and hardcore everywhere around. Yeah folks, sia sia!

4. Hania Rani – On Giacometti (2023)
🇵🇱 This album was born in the Swiss Alps. It was conceived as a musical illustration for a film about the painter and sculptor Alberto Giacometti and his family. The compositions composed by Hania are inspired by the aesthetics that the master adhered to, as well as by the grandeur and deafening silence of the surrounding mountains, in whose environment the music was created. You will hear the velvet voice of the piano, detached from time and floating in the air in weightlessness.

5. Khan – Creatures (2023)
🇦🇺 This fundamental album was released towards the end of February. The Australians immerse us into the dark depths of consciousness, exploring despair, suffering and pain. Leaving a ghostly hope for salvation somewhere over the horizon, the trio gives out excellent weighty rock, as heavy as the current time is. Clean vocals resonate perfectly with the pulsation of the guitar strings and the rhythm of the drums. This is a journey that may take more time. However, that does not interfere its appeal.

6. Big|Brave – Nature Morte (2023)
🇨🇦 Canadian experimentalists start their “Nature Morte” in the same way like they did before, by putting the listener in the very center of what is happening. From composition to composition, the evolution of the state is transmitted through a naked and direct feeling. It is sincere and multifaceted, embracing love, and rejection, and foreshadowing. This experience is passing through one single reality, inseparable and unsteady like a mirage. We are breathing it in and exhaling while listening to this thrilling album.

7. The Necks – Travel (2023)
🇦🇺 The masters of vast boundless forms present their nineteenth disc, which has received a remarkable title. It is rather a journey into the depth of the trio’s exquisite music than a trip along and across any territory or direction. The Australian trio is true to their distinct style and approach to improvisation and theme development. Having immersed at the very beginning, you will remain in a silent spiritualized state until the very end of the journey, if only this point exists.

8. Ava Trio – Ash (2023)
🇮🇹 🇳🇱 🇹🇷 And this is exactly a trip in time, namely into different eras in one time. Several batches of images have been arising in my head while listening to “Ash”. There is a hard-working expedition, which has been restoring the course of the tragedy bit by bit. Then, a suffocating cloud of dust at the time of a volcanic eruption. Furthermore, the flourishing and magnificent life of the settlements, being unaware of the future. All this is mysteriously conveyed by voices and echoes, replicas, repetitive rhythms and pauses.

Previous masterpiece by Ava Trio, “Digging the Sand” (2019)
9. Bastarda – Nizozot (2023)
🇵🇱 The beginning of March was marked by the release of amazing three-disc Nigunim anthology authored by a brilliant Polish trio. The heritage of the three Hasidic dynasties sounds stunning. This is true to everything that this unique collective ever touches. A piercing clarinet sounding against the background of a crushing contabass clarinet and a cello resonating with them, inevitably causes a scattering of goosebumps. Follow the stories to discover more of them, and you will not regret.

10. Yossi Sassi & The Oriental Rock Orchestra – Prediluvian (2023)
🇮🇱 Finishing this episode, we are listening to the new work of Yossi Sassi and his team. As before, fresh Mediterranean wind is blowing from this music. It is characterized by a peculiar epic, born in the synergy of the traditional and the progressive. Thanks to the talent and skill of the author, multifaceted rock is especially well combined with oriental melodies. The most memorable of them are those with the voice of the flute. By the way, this instrument is played by Daniel, the composer’s daughter.
