Regression therapy & Frank Zappa’s Apostrophe (‘)
México City, late nineties, any given Saturday. On the rare occasion when I convinced my brother to go second hand music shopping and swapping to a cultural bazaar by the name of Tianguis del Chopo, we would swim amidst the ocean of black t-shirts, bad hairdos, smudgy tattoos, horrible speaker systems, stolen goods, emos (I…

Interview – The Whiskey Priest
We do love Seth Woods in his many faces in this Shithole of a Website (TM). As Sad Accordions, we have felt the past and present clashing, creating a wave of emotional songs that linger on like fine incense. As The Whiskey Priest, the melancholic lyrics ride on the upbeat music. It’s been a…

Vast Robot Armies’ Studio Diary – Day Three
3 of my favorite days. Christmas mornings. I’m a full on ‘Clark-Griswald-Ralphie-Parker’ Christmas loving idiot. Recording Days. No one rides the line between complete doubt-based anxiety and baseless bravado better than me. On these types of days. Gig Days. So here we were on Recording Day eve. I was up, showered, and re-packed by 8:15am.…

Review: A Winged Victory for the Sullen – Atomos
Atomos is a score written for a contemporary dance piece created by Wayne McGregor whose Random Dance company are at the forefront of modern dance. As a long term fan of ambient neo-classical I was really looking forward to hearing this record. We were given a glimpse of what might be on offer earlier…
