For those of you guilty of assuming all Kiwis are chummy sprites forever seeking the next hacky sack, meet Kerretta—a blistering New Zealand metal trio. They make explosive rock with heart, maneuvering their angst-ridden guitars into something sparse, melodic, and at times, even catchy. Think Mogwai or ISIS, but leaner and less grandiose. Kerretta is fresh off their SXSW dates and on to the rest of the country. Those stops…

Our last review of a rap CD involved one of the individuals that Haiku thanks in eir “Blewâ€: Meaty Ogre. That CD wasn’t that impressive, but “Blew†starts off in a much stronger way. The first track on this CD is “Blueâ€, and the song is strong in the sense that it uses a more classic backing beat, all while the flow is some of the more fresh and current…

I should have expected experimental music from one of the Einsturzende Neubauten band members, but still, the opening track “Minnie & Me†shocked me at the first go around. The vaguely-tribal, ghostly vocals present on that track cannot be anything but disjointed, and I almost feel as if Hacke’s purpose with this track is provide a disjointed viewpoint. The second track, “Sister†is just the incorporation of Bon Jovi-esque guitar…

Haale – Paratrooper / 2007 Self / 5 Tracks / http://www.haale.com / http://www.musicandart.net / Reviewed 02 June 2007 While it may seem as if Bjork is trying to make a more gothic sounding effort in Haale’s “Paratrooperâ€, I would have to say that the overall sound is much more diverse and full that the average Bjork track. There is the same type of atmosphere present as ambient music, but there…
