One of last years' best (and weirdest) records was Vindicatrix' Die alten bösen Lieder (which, opting to trust my ever-corroding German, translates into something like "the old bad songs"), released by Mordant Music and oddly packaged as a 12"+CD-R combo (but to be regarded as one album). Here Londoner David Aird combines the operatic claustrophobia of Scott Walker's The Drift with dark laptop experimentalism and the occasional dub techno, creating an album that, needless to say, requires multiple listenings and an adventurous mind for appreciation. In short, it's fucked up, but it's also fucking good.
