New Music: Actual Wolf – A change of mind
Actual Wolf , whom we’ve previously recommended, has a brand new song from his upcoming album, Hometown Hero. ‘A change of mind’ covers the aftermath of a break-up and the cascade of regrets that inevitably follow. Another taster from their new album, Hometown Hero, is the peppy, upbeat ditty ‘Sinaloa Stroll’ , which steers fast…

Review: Palehound – Black Friday
” And I’ve won over your mother, darlingAnd I’ve won over your sister, tooAnd I won over your father, darlingAnd I still don’t feel worthy of you “ – Palehound, ‘Worthy You don’t need distortion to be loud. You don’t need to scream to call for attention. You don’t need to physically attack someone to…

Review: New Ghost – New Ghost Orchestra
Depression takes everything from you. It’s a savage, intangible beast that follows you everywhere. It makes food taste the same. It paints life through a grey palette. Days lose their identity. You become numb to outside stimuli and time fritters away. You can never escape depression. It will stay with you forever. Therapy, a cornucopia…

Video: Nnux – Pasos
Directed by Noah LePage and with art direction by Teruko Kushi, ‘Pasos’ finds Nnux in a strange place. Between climbing ruins and ghosts crawling up to her neck, the urgency of ‘Pasos’ pushes through digital landscapes of gold, where a search that seems never ending continues pulsing long after the search party has gone to…

Review: Minimal Animal – I thought that we’d be happy here
Nick Cox‘s pop sensibilities have never been a secret. From the harmonies and French pop halcyon days of Screaming Maldini, his previous band, to his current venture, Minimal Animal, he’s always had a knack for picking the right hook. One that will veer from your bog standard rock into fashionable pop music. I thought that…

Review: Eric & Magill – Thanks to sciences / Valhalla Baby!
There’s always something about Eric & Magill‘s music. Call it an aura, call it a particular aroma. It’s always there, like the memories from a lucid dream flashing back through the day. ‘Thanks to sciences’ starts as a folky ballad that soars with a CSO-friendly video that conveys the ethereal warmth of the track, one…

Review: Yugen Blakrok – Anima Mysterium
About a year ago, I was done with superhero films. I want to say Black Panther changed my mind. It didn’t. The soundtrack, though, that one was a pleasing surprise. A cornucopia of rappers, old and new. From that curated roster, one name stuck out: Yugen Blakrok. Anima Mysterium is not a brag-rap album. It’s…

Review: Moving Panoramas – In Two
Time heals all wounds. It’s a cliché. It’s a platitude. It’s a tiny piece of driftwood in an ocean of tears. But, hey, it’s something. Moving Panoramas has had a couple of intense years since the release of their debut, One (our review), back in 2015. Intense touring -including a stop to watch the…

Review: We Were Promised Jetpacks – The More I Sleep, The Less I Dream
It was November of 2009. A drizzle covered the dark skies of Sheffield. The Uni rag asked me to cover We Were Promised Jetpacks at The Leadmill and S.A.D. was affecting me. It’s hard being in a strange country, one you maybe didn’t belong in. The Flying Squad was yelling their lungs out, closing their…

Single: Moving Panoramas – Baby Blues
It’s been three years since Moving Panoramas’ One took over our hearts, set up residence and longed for Texan sunsets and lullabies about one night stands. In that time, the band has re-arranged itself into different incarnations, like Dr. Who, shifting and remolding -not remodelling- itself into a dreamgazing machine. ‘Baby Blues’ is the new…
