Peter Broderick / Music for Confluence
Album Review
Peter Broderick / Music for Confluence
It's nice when your friends instictively know what music you'd like. This is one of those times and I'm feeling happy to listen. I've been dormant for a while, off the radar so to speak; but thankfully my reliable minions have been...
Einar Stray - Chiaroscuro
Album Review
Einar Stray / Chiaroscuro
It can sometimes be quite difficult to instantly connect with an artist or piece of music, probably due the sheer volume of music I listen to on a daily basis. Sometimes I hear a band once and it does pretty much nothing for me; I cast it aside and...
A Winged Victory For The Sullen
Interview
I walk into the venue on a Sunday evening to find Dustin O’Halloran and Adam Wiltzie still sound checking with their trio of strings players and surprisingly, still teaching them how to get their parts just right. Their attention to detail on...
AWVFTS /  Glasgow Oran MĂłr
Gig
It’s a chilly night in Glasgow outside as you breathe in it’s the kind of cold that stings your nose and even has the potential to make you a bit lightheaded. Fortunately downstairs in the venue it’s....bloody freezing as well. The...
Alcest / Les Voyages de l'Âme
Album Review
Alcest / Les Voyages de l'Âme
It’s fair to say that I think 2011 was a pretty mediocre year, musically speaking. Sure there were some good albums but only a handful were truly brilliant. It seems 2011 may have been a glitch in the sonic scheme of things because here we,...
Gnod - Chaudelande Vol 1
Album Stubble - Unsigned
GNOD / Chaudelande Volume 1
I think it’s only fair to tell you right from the start that, right now, I think Gnod are the best band on the planet. So with this in mind, expect little in the way of balanced judgement and an automatic assurance of a five-star review....
Oneohtrix Point Never - Replica
Album Review
We’ve all heard the expression “that sinking feeling”. The feeling of a creeping dread tarring up the depths of your gut, slowly making its way northwards to your heart and brain and leaving your whole being infected with a deep,...
WITTR - Islington Mill
Gig
The venue is dotted with clusters of red candles and the fumes from burning sage fill my nostrils. Thoughts drift from ceremonial intimacy to, rather inappropriately, Paxo stuffing. I appreciate more and more each day the ability of live music to...
cssc - After Tides
Album Review
cssc / After Tides
Well, folks, I've just had to re-type two-thirds of this. Not that you should give a shit. While listening to 'After Tides', my laptop crashed spectacularly to a blue screen of death. The resultant looping cacophony sounded amazing,...
Audiocæneat - Red Sessions
Album Review
Audiocæneat / Red Sessions
Audiocæneat are a seemingly no-nonsense kind of band, pounding out heavy, electronics-infused post-rock and often sounding like a heavy-handed Sigur Ros or even Caspian at times. This, my friends, is German post-rock at its finest....
