Night Terrors 42

A monthly traipse through the latest dark & esoteric soundscapes (plus a smattering from yesteryear). This month’s recipe includes mournful strummed considerations, bird song, rampaging drones, righteous fury, a little funk, unnerved spoken word, speaker destruction, and a pair of maniacs let loose with a microphone. Bon appétit.

A monthly traipse through the latest dark & esoteric soundscapes (plus a smattering from yesteryear). Whimsy, disorder, excess, and a certain malcontent stuff this sonic barrage until its seams waiver. Have at it.

Night Terrors 34

A monthly traipse through the latest dark & esoteric soundscapes (plus a smattering from yesteryear). Weird plodding, pumping, and prodding. The sort of stuff that Asmodeus busts moves to.

Night Terrors 29

A monthly traipse through the latest dark & esoteric soundscapes (plus a smattering from yesteryear). It’s summer! Bathe in the golden rays, lap up the crystal waves, and lose your damn mind to the vertiginous caterwauls of reality. Also, don’t forget the sun cream.

Night Terrors 26

A monthly traipse through the latest dark & esoteric soundscapes (plus a smattering from yesteryear). This particular woozy ride is littered with a fug of despondency, fury, and a little spilt hope. Some of it is also a bit daft. Enjoy.

Night Terrors 23

A fortnightly traipse through the latest dark & esoteric soundscapes (plus a smattering from yesteryear). This time round there’s a sea shanty, some poetry, a welt of Industrial and a sputtering of Techno. I recommend a strong constitution if you wish to see it through to the end.

Night Terrors 22

A fortnightly traipse through the latest dark & esoteric landscapes (plus a smattering from yesteryear). This hour is a timid stumble through blistering distortion, wobbly electronics, Japanese trains, and a lap of cod philosophy.

A fortnightly traipse through the latest dark & esoteric soundscapes (plus a smattering from yesteryear). This time round we do battle with themes of revenge, trauma, and disco balls… Plus a smattering of harsh noise. What more could anyone want? Also, one day I’ll figure out how to finish one of these without playing a Midwife track. Until then...
