Starving Weirdos:
More than a decade after the release of ´Land Lines', the mythical Humboldt County, California based duo of Brian Pyle and Merrick McKinlay reappears seemingly out of nowhere with 'Atheists Are Gods'. With past releases on such cult-like labels as Root Strata, Weird Forest, Blackest Rainbow or Digitalis, Starving Weirdos were an indelible part of a sprawling and loose network of artists in Northern America whose DIY work ethic and extreme activity revolved around shoestring-budget constant touring, numerous limited editions on CDR, tape and vinyl and a relentless drive to push the boundaries of genre.
Out of that cauldron, Starving Weirdos stood out as one of the most persistent and visionary acts, developing a mind altering body of work that went from warm soundscapes through droney digressions, freeform improvisation and raucous noise summoned from a myriad of instrumentation and low budget processing - vocals, keyboards, violin, flute, percussion and an assortment of less identifiable sound sources.
WIRE, November, 2023:
"Although Starving Weirdos' music a strong connection to California's Humboldt County, the sonic palette and world building are decisively global, as evidenced by the stumbling pseudo dub of "Barulho Do Samba", the Harry Bertoia-esque metallic constructs of "Dudukahar (Reed Prayer)" and the jazzy, sustained brass dark ambient of "For Vinny". Here, subliminal electronic impressions reminiscent of Black To Comm and Cluster become avant folk phrases, which vibrate as if they had fallen off of an Alison Cotton record, rounding off a great comeback."
Boomkat:
"Opener 'Haiku Nagasaki' pits a booming electronic kick and fictile toms against ring modulated oscillations that whirr like broken machinery, while bottled, detuned blips announce a strangulated, cybernetic voice and whooshes of aerated noise. The track crossfades into 'Invocation' as if it's the next phrase in a particularly spirited mixtape, balancing acidic squelches with Lynchian atmospherics and day-zero kosmische improvisations. Pained, saturated vocalizations wheeze and guitars ring out over the tense electronics, before 'Barulho do Samba' dematerializes us to another planet altogether. A chaotic scuffle of jerky beatbox drums and manic, helium vocals, it's like hearing Muslimgauze at the wrong speed, buckling shakily under the weight of a janky DSL connection.
It's cracking stuff, and as weird and uncompromising as ever."
Don’t DJ:
Don’t DJ /Florian Meyer is a dragon as well as he’s pisces who live and work in Berlin directly at at the junction of music and arts.
Besides enjoying cooking, feeding the geese and playing with wooden toys on wheels, he’s known for producing and DJing music that playfully experiments with time, rhythm and reference.
He released works in various formats, yet most well known are his vinyl records with labels like Honest Jons (UK), Em Records (JP), Berceuse Heroique (GR) and his own DISK imprint - where he also publishes better artists.
Florian collaborated with many groups and individual artists, momentarily active collectives he partakes in are: The Institut fuer Feinmotorik, Kreng and A.N.I where he explores new strategies to group-improvisation together with Bear Bones Lay Low and Black Zone Myth Chant
Basically Florian’s musical approach could be defined as experimental rhythm research on the fringes of electronic dance music.
Don’t DJ’s latest release is titled “Lemon Garlic“ and was published on Berceuse Heroique in May 2023 in anticipation of an album release due in September 2023.
