Constantine Skourlis - Eternal Recurrence

Constantine Skourlis is no stranger to crisis. Whilst he was in a Lesbos cave weaving together his masterful debut, Hades, small boats bearing the broken bodies of human beings began making their way towards that very same island. This became one of the worst humanitarian tragedies in recent memory. Now, 3 years later, with the world in a bafflingly worse state, his follow up Eternal Recurrence is being unleashed.

Alessandra Novaga - I Should Have Been A Gardener

The latest foray into 6 string explorations from Alessandra Novaga is a generally quiet and contemplative affair. It’s less like barging through a splintered and dangling door and more akin to seeking refuge on a stranger’s cosy sofa. The longer that you take up residence, however, the more there is that is demanded of you.

Drew McDowall - Agalma

An integral part of the industrial and experimental scenes during the unwinding of the 20th century, Drew McDowall lent both his sonic nous and his penchant for magick to the cults of Coil and Psychic TV before striding out on his own. He’s spent the past decade collaborating with and remixing the likes of Rabit, NIN, and Uniform, as well as Posh Isolation stalwarts Croatian Armor, Puce Mary, and Varg.

Knifedoutofexistence - Just Barely

For some people playing live is a luxury – just an added benefit of this music indulgence. For others it’s a chore, or, worse still, a source of sheer, debilitating, panic. There is another group, however, who thrive on the experience. They need it to survive. The act in itself is cleansing, like performing an exorcism on oneself: a cathartic purging of thoughts and feelings in order to reach inner peace.

J. Zunz - Hibiscus

As summer dribbled away, dark clouds more befitting of 2020’s mood scampered into place along the British skyline. Concurrent with this meteorological shift arrives J Zunz’s Hibiscus. One half of the hypnotic psychonauts Lorelle Meets The Obsolete, J Zunz (real name Lorena Quintanilla) has eschewed collaboration this time in favour of a deeply personal delve into her own psyche. What emerges is something nuanced, confident, and throbbing with paranoia.

The Academy Of Sun - The Quiet Earth

“In eastern Washington, the territory around the Hanford reservation is promoted as the last stand of original shrub-sage habitat in the Columbia Basin, yet periodically deer and rabbits wander from the preserve and leave radioactive droppings on Richland’s lawns.” – Plutopia: Nuclear Families, Atomic Cities, and the Great Soviet and Plutonium Disasters, Kate Brown.

Noveller - Arrow

There’s something both cinematic and vista-encompassing on the latest effort from Sarah Lipstate (Noveller). Arrow appears to have drawn from her a keen urge to paint vivid pictures with her sounds, images that would not feel out of place in the works of Terrance Malick, Scott Barley, or Apichatpong Weerasethakul.

Roly Porter - Kistvaen

“Everywhere we shine death and life burn into something new, Rise up like perfumed nebulae through the jubilant road flowing beneath our feet.” Death, as a subject matter, rarely strays far from an active mind. But right now it’s barging its way to the forefront of conversation, debate, and thought. Be it the spiralling death rate of a global pandemic or the callous brutality of racist law enforcers, it’s everywhere that we choose to turn...

T. Gowdy - Therapy With Colour

T. Gowdy might well refer to his work as “ambient electronic music” but Therapy With Colour does not sit cosily amongst the gentle washes of new age ambience. This isn’t a soundtrack for a chill out room, a relaxing spa-meditation, or suites for a yoga retreat. It’s an altogether different creature. One with sinewed muscle and matted fur.

Markus Floats - Third Album

Cathedrals, shrines, temples, and other places of worship have been increasingly co-opted for musical ventures over the past decade or two so, it stands to reason, that this would further extend to the sounds typically reserved for those spaces too. In keeping with this, Markus Lake – the man behind the Markus Floats moniker who, himself, is no stranger to blurring boundaries & genres, having participated in a broad spectrum of Afrofuturist, punk, post-punk, and experimental outfits...
