AVERDONIA by goneMUNE #FeatureFriday: AVERDONIA by goneMUNE Singaporean artist goneMUNE recently released her concept/cyberopera album ‘Averdonia’. After discovering it on YouTube with a good friend of mine I was immediately enraptured by the dark yet poppy vibes on offer so it didn’t take long for me to decide and preorder her album. ‘Averdonia’ starts with […]
#FeatureFriday is 06-06-26 #BandcampFriday featuring KB Doesnt Exist, Ashaine White, Knulp and Tragic Gadget! Meet the Bouviers by Tragic Gadget Last week I was sent a song via the submissions form, remembered the name and immediately hit place and mentally staggered by. The sheer bloody alt pop goodness rocked me in my pumas hard. That […]
Blue to Gold by People of Maha Imagine all the innocent charm of The Shaggs, mixed with the chaos of The Slits, throw in some Bjork pixie madness and a big chunk of 60s psych pop rock then before you know it the script get’s flipped and we’re into indie/alt rock foot stomping anthems that […]
Voice My Thoughts-EP by Abe Shaw The genre interplay on the Voice my Thoughts EP kept me on my toes through all 6 tracks. This EP is such an enjoyable and engaging listen. The first song, “Feels like Rain”, has my whole heart. Emotionally, the opening hooks me in immediately by opening with “Someone tell […]
The Jet Age by Pocket Lint A love letter to an an era of songwriting that is often overlooked, a sound often misinterpreted. Not here though, the time is lovingly recreated without overdosing a nostalgia. It’s a tightrope well traversed. Guitars that are both angular, sharp and melodic but then smooth and languid. The vocals […]
My Childhood Home Was Your Hospice by LeGuin’s Blade Teachings @leguinblade.bsky.social My Childhood Home Was Your Hospice by LeGuin’s Blade Teachings Music like this sometimes has a feeling not dissimilar to a fog, like fog it’s not thick in substance but in perception. A density that is also light to the touch. It’s a weird sensation […]
Not Like This by Transgressive Not Like This by Transgressive Over the last few years, I have found myself picking up on more Metal. I was a Metal kid who wandered into different rooms musically looking for different experiences. It took me on quite a journey, but I never really found my way back. I always […]
IHN004 // William Carlos Whitten – Burn My Letters by William Carlos Whitten IHN004 // William Carlos Whitten – Burn My Letters by William Carlos Whitten New music to you is still new music. Released in 2018, Burn My Letters is new to me, and it is now one of my favourite recordings. In my 20s, […]
Everything’s A Business by Brian Lambert Everything’s A Business by Brian Lambert Brian Lambert’s “Everything’s A Business” can be summarized as “short but sweet”. It’s a collection of six songs, of which only one is longer than 2:30 minutes. And in my opinion, this brevity works in the albums favor; the listener barely has time to […]
The Secret Ingredient Is Even More Meat by The Noisy The Secret Ingredient Is Even More Meat by The Noisy You know why honesty is important because honesty is clarity, it’s emotional. It can be devastating. It can be brutal.It can be like a cold wind on a frosty day, no cloud cover and a clear […]
Five by Aubrey Van Gelded Five by Aubrey Van Gelded I throw around the term “Outsider Music”, and it may seem like I’m minimising the effect of the music I am regarding but I’m actually celebrating its creativity, its boldness to do what it wants. Be what it was born to be. Can you imagine Sparklehorse […]
The Periapt Of Absence by MOTHER OF GRAVES The Periapt Of Absence by MOTHER OF GRAVES I don’t know much about doom metal or death metal. I’m a long-lapsed metal kid who grew up hanging around metal scenes. I had friends who were really into thrash, and I liked certain elements of that. I liked Metallica […]
Paleo EP by Djinn and Miskatonic Paleo EP by Djinn and Miskatonic Doom laden early 70s three-piece heavy rock wearing metal armour and wearing a prog rock cape. A real cool album EP, I think I have a new favourite genre, Doom Metal. This just hits all the right grooves for me. It reminds me of […]
Bring the Axes EP by Princess Ugly Sometimes when I listen to music, I will get visuals and Bring the Axes by Princess Ugly is one of those times. In my mind’s eye I see a 1990s retelling of Tony Scott’s The Hunger(1983). It has a vampiric feel to me; it feels dangerous and seductive. […]
Diana’s Day by Fourth Dominion #FreatureFriday Our featured album this week is Diana’s Day by Fourth Dominion @fourthdominion.bsky.social On my first listen to Diana’s Day, I was struck by how it straddles the line between goth and rock, not so much goth rock but rock with a goth undertow. I instantly thought of the Irish […]
Bandcamp Friday Special Kiosk 67 by HawaiiWorms Manchester meets Berlin. Hawaii Worms’ debut EP is a sonic treat of post-punk electronic music that has an analogue and organic feel. It feels warm, loose and almost improvised. It doesn’t feel quantized tp death. The synths feel organic, the drum machines feel programmed and at the same […]
Ragas & Waltzes by Charu Suri This #Feature Friday we have @charu.bsky.social‘s Ragas & Waltzes. It looks like we’ve found a style of music about which I can really not say all that much and that I actually had to research. In 4 of the 6 tracks on this album, Charu Suri interprets waltz’s by […]
particle dogs by particle dogs Particle Dogs, is an album by the artist @particledogs.bsky.social, it’s an album that has been a go-to for me for some while now. It’s smooth upright bass and crunchy drums underpin some really neat melodic keyboard playing and some delicately placed guitar. It is nicely mixed and smartly arranged. It […]
B.P.M. (Album) by Portobello Express This week’s #FeatureFriday is B.P.M by Portabello Express. This week’s featured album has 70s rock going right through it. Like literally the words through a stick of Blackpool rock. It knows how to hit those beats, bluesy, melodic, heavy rock that loves itself. It also has that lovely European pop […]
