Justice (EP) by Kiffie This #FeatureFriday, we have the Justice (EP) by Kiffie, an EP that was made entirely on 21st August 2025 using three main instruments: Roland JX-08, Roland TR-08 and vocals. First things first, this is impressive, right? I mean, I love a concept, a challenge, and this is both. Not only does […]
EP1 by mono/eject EP1 by @monoeject.bsky.social’s mono/eject is a slow grinding goth-infused triphop delight. More rhythmic than harmonic, but that is the beauty of the production. It allows the saturated vocals to really shine, giving you a real outer lane synth pop wall that is pinned down with this industrial/indie/alternative flavour. It has darkness, but […]
Places in Between by the Machine in the Garden Places in Between by The Machine in the Garden – @tmitg.bsky.social There are things that I love in music: a variety in styles, expressive vocals, warm and dark tonalities, an emotional romantic mood and surprising subtleties in the instrumentation. “Places in Between” by The Machine In […]
Shuāilǎo 衰老 by Shuāilǎo 衰老 A singular vision, part shamanic chant, part prayer to unnamed gods hidden in Stygian darkness. A doomy, grungy melodic metal that grips you with bony fingers and rakes you with dirty fingers, but at times feels like a careful caress. Everything sits so well in the mix. There’s good use […]
A Feature Friday Bandcamp Friday Special This week, we all get to choose something each to highlight for your listening pleasure. Uneasy Listening by Wandering Whispers @marionette.bzky.team This will not be a normal review, since this piece did something more interesting to me: it managed to transport me to an exact time and place of my […]
No Fireball Show by Bleak Magician Sometimes I hear something, and it is so perfectly put together that it either inspires me or stops me in my tracks. Bleak Magician does both. Their latest release, “No Fireball Show” has everything I love. Well thought out and positioned instrumentation, Crisp recordings that let the music and […]
I Am Legend: A Soundtrack by Eoin Mac Ionmhain Eoin Mac [email protected] This was a very welcome revisit for me, having covered it briefly a while back. I love this recording. It reminds me of early 70s folk horror and unsettling movies where you were never quite sure what was going on. Especially a very […]
They’re Everywhere by Jim’s Big Ego It was going to happen eventually. Something we don’t agree on. But it’s taken some time eh? There’s a very late 1990s Leary ’00s sensibility to this album. That vein of songwriting that straddles the line between smartarse flippant, excellent wordplay and self depreciation – It reminds me of […]
Smile, We’re All Gonna Die by The Cancellations “It’s like Shania Twain with unresolved trama” – fromjason.xyz on what used to be twitter. Before I begin, or maybe to begin with let me just get this out there, ‘Four Lights’ is a fucking ear worm and if you don’t dig it I can’t help you. […]
Void by Vanessa Funke This #FeatureFriday we have Void by Vanessa Funke from the first track ‘Void’ takes you on an emotional journey. There’s a difficult beauty in pain even if it is too hot to hold at times, too big to carry, too hard to penetrate, too painful to tolerate but this music shows a […]
Rides Out by Hot Donkey As a kid, and I’m old enough to think anyone under the age or 40 is a kid so I’ll be more specific, as a teenager I came to the concept that not everything I hear first time is going to hit me. For every Van Halen there’s a Husker […]
Trauma Stew by Cynful Ukes Today we have an emotional and human journey. It comes with several gut punches. It doesn’t flinch and it doesn’t soft soap. Cynful Ukes’s Trauma Stew is an collection of songs that takes you by the hand and leads you through a life lived. The first time I listened to […]
How about some Pixie Pirate Mythpunk Folk Rock? Quartered: Songs of Palimpsest by S. J. Tucker This week’s #FeatureFriday artist is S. J. Tucker and her album – Quartered: Songs of Palimpsest.

This #FeatureFriday we have some cool indie with Oblle and their 5 track EP Shapeshifter Shapeshifter by Oblee From the opening instrumental track of “Shapeshifter” you’re not sure what you’re getting with Oblee. You could be thinking it’s going to be some lo-fi instrumental project and as great as that is it hides some great […]

Doom Folk Metal? Yes please. This #FeatureFriday we have the excellent Mean Bone by @buzzarddoomfolk.bsky.social Mean Bone by Buzzard The first thing that hits you about Buzzard is the absolutely filthy guitar tone. A stack of octave pedals crushing your brain. The second thing is what a good fucking name Buzzard is, I mean fucking […]
Aldona’s Daughter by Stunt Lover Name one album that starts with as good a line as, “You’ve got your knitting needles and I’ve got my sledgehammer / you get judgmental and I get a stammer when I’m nervous / I get a stammer when I’m nervous.” and I’ll give you the evil eye. Aldona’s Daughter […]
