Wake up to… New Ghost – The Wolf of Allendale
What was the last thing you dreamed? The one I had yesterday left me confused. I was in a strange hotel/casino, supposedly in Paris. My plane was due to leave in 8 hours, so my mother said I should look around the place and kill some time. The casino had a water slide running everywhere,…

Wake up to … Electric Tape Recorder – Repeater.
The long trek Electric Tape Recorder saunters upon finds a new path to dark territories. The former duo, now a four piece, encounters the unnerving ‘Repeater’, released this past July in the midst of torrential rains and overcast days. Shoegazey in spirit, Psychedelic by nature, ‘Repeater’ smoulders deep through the terrain, with its peaty aftertaste…

Review: Junkbond – Spring the locks
One of the strangest things you learn as you get older is that no idea is a bad idea, it just needs to simmer for a longer time. Maybe a draft you left in a musty drawer is now ready to find its voice. Perhaps the half finished Locrian scale ditty that’s been swirling on…

A roadtrip they never took

You had too many fun times at the park with it and now it resembles Harrison Ford’s hip. Earlier today, before that heavy sleet made it impossible…

New music: Gilmore Trail – Nocturne
A solemn reflection over frozen ponds and eerie quiet days in cities where uncertainty is now the new norm

Come again?
“Well, at one time, you’ve got it, and then you lose it, and it’s gone forever.“- Sick Boy, Trainspotting. It’s hard to keep an open mind to new art. I can’t quite pinpoint when or how our brains stop accepting fresh stuff and delve into times long gone, but when it happens, it happens, and…

Playlist – Janvier
It’s the new year and reason would dictate that we must leave the past behind. Shed that extra weight, loose the millstone in your neck dragging you down, and swim away to warmer climates. But emotions do not follow reason. Past memories of old hotel lobbies, the cafeteria your grandparents used to take you, maybe…
