Don’t forget to check out some more of Documenta’s set in Podcast #30.

Si takes control of the Imprint spaceship for podcast #30, and there’s plenty of room so climb aboard and a take a trip…

Our feature presentation this month comes from local space-rockers Documenta, who took everyone at the recent Imprint relaunch party on a musical astral journey. Catch a selection of live tracks from the band , recorded on the night itself. You can also find them over at Soundcloud.

Sometimes there’s just too much new music to try and squeeze into one hour of podcast, but we try our best at IMPRINT to pick out the best of the bunch. As always, Si comes from the edgier side of the left, and new music on this edition comes from psychedelic alt-prog rockers Mars Volta; shoegaze dream-pop’ers Young Prisms and ‘witchwave’** duo Purity Ring amongst others.

Sean Walshe is one half of the now defunct club-night Go Bang! and he now rocks the party under the Deformative banner. He started out DJ’ing at underground parties in Melbourne when he lived there and he kicked things off in Belfast when he got back here in 2010. Deformative became a sort of roving clubnight but it is currently comfortably residing in the Red Barn Gallery.

Its a moody affair this one but still enough to throw the dancing shoes on for.

Brian is a member of the Reset collective who have just set up a record label – their first release is going to be from our friend Defcon so keep your eyes peeled for that one.

Also, lots of new tunes in this one, we are particularly loving the new Sand Circles record on Not Not Fun.

Podcast #27 sees one of IMPRINT’s new podcasters, Si McNair, take the reigns and give his take on what’s left of the left in the world of music. With an emphasis on post-rock and psychedelic guitars, expect to be propelled straight into space, float around for a bit and then be brought gently back down to earth.

Case in point: Belfast based 5-piece Annapurna. Si sat down for a chat with Ross and Mike from the band a few weeks back; check out the interview as well as a few of the bands massive tracks on this edition of the podcast. If you dig their music as much as we do, be sure and swing by the bands Bandcamp page and show some support.

Plenty of brand spanking new music to wrap your ears around this month too, with new tunes from Pelican, Pterodactyl and The American Dollar. Actually, go check out The American Dollar’s new record “Awake in the City”; Si’s pick of the month!

Tracklist

Collapse Under the Empire - Shoulders
Pelican - Lathe Biosas
Amusement Parks on Fire - Venus in Cancer
The American Dollar - As We Float
Whirr - Hide

Annapurna Interview ( featuring their track “I am a Leaf” )

Sleepmakeswaves - Keep Your Splendid Silent Sun
Helios - Backlight
God is an Astronaut - A Deafening Distance
Pterodactyl – School Glue
Annapurna – Gangapurna

T-Polar was one of the first DJ’s we ever saw in Belfast and he still, to this day, remains as one of the best producers and DJ’s we know. Once part of the sadly now defunct clubnight Ecker, T-Polar can now be found dropping releases on such underground labels as Saigon, Rebirth Records and local label Acroplane.

Its hard to pigeon-hole his sound but this time round its an upbeat and groovy affair with shades of funkiness just shimmying in from the side.

Again – play loud.
