Cavern of Anti Matter – Hormone Lemonade

by 3 Comments

If you fancy something new to soundtrack yr Saturday try this cracking new album from Cavern of Anti-Matter which is Tim Gane and Joe Dilworth formerly of Stereolab joined by Holger Zapf. If you like your analogue synths, Motorik beats and bubbling vintage drum machines you’ll be in heaven already but there’s a great melodic warmth and a touch of Synth-pop gloss to this so it’s not just endless retro noodling. Link is for bandcamp but it’s on the usual streams too.

Stereolab Klaxon (sort of…)

Not sure if there any other Stereolab fans on here, but even if you’re not a fan or not familiar with them you might like this, especially if you like the Ghost Box/Hauntology stuff, Krautrock, early Cabaret Voltaire and obscure 70s electronic music. Stereolab are still on ‘indefinite hiatus’ however Tim Gane has a new groop – Caverns of Anti-Matter along with longtime ‘lab drummer Joe Dilworth and synthesist Holger Zapf – and they’ve just released ‘Void Beats/Invocation Trex’ and rather marvellous it is too. Full of bubbling analogue synths, creaky old beatboxes and lots of catchy little melodies and groovy wonderfulness. Here’s a taster.
