IZU - Going Salamander - (Highpoint Lowlife-USA-2006)


 A fantastic brew of warped yet warm future-melodies discordant breaks & twisted, languid synth action. Effortlessly includes some highly involving & hypnotic structures combined with a playful DIY techno attitude. A highly original, darkly atmospheric & hugely impressive round up from someone with a braindance orientated mind. Honestly, if you wanna hear an inventive & funky album then go no further....(review by beeslovesugarwater published on Discogs)

Highpoint Lowlife records started as an idle daydream atop Potrero Hill. Two bums by the names of Joey Hurt and Thorsten Sideb0ard were running a local dj night in a bar, where they would play a mixture of new and local indie pop, rock and electronica. Inspired by the success of their club night, they decided to push forward with the idea of the record label. The daydream came to fruition with a double disc compilation of local San Francisco bands that summer of 2001. Continuing that dream, Highpoint Lowlife strives to bring you the best in new alternative music. You can check out our website for more information.(from Internet Archive)  click me
