Music Reviews

Album Review: Stuart Pearce – ‘Perestrokia 2.1’.

R R Read More

“Like Velvet Underground begat Lewsberg, like New York Dolls testube spawned Dick Venom, The Fall co-created Stuart Pearce. Never smarm-hate a band for their influences, love them for loving what your into…”

EP Review: Last Wars – ‘Pale Fire b​/​w Frail Communion’.

R R Read More

“When we last heard Last Wars it was hard-boiled and rasp-filled and retro electric, like a B-side of ‘Saturn Strip’ Vega. But now we get polish, and pumped up production, in an EP that flexes and kicks…”

Single Review: Pamela Sue Mann – ‘Ouch’.

R R Read More

“This is Pamela Sue Mann at her best. Wide-eyed and clean in the rubble. If the first listen snags you, the second will snatch, and the third drags you right along with her….”

Single Review: Magnus Josefsson – ‘December’.

R R Read More

“Take synthwave and shoegaze, and that lush 80’s chorus of 4AD stalwarts, and the softened cool glint of Minaxi, then just go let the song slip away…”

Out Today: Fritch – ‘We Lose Our Cool’.

R R Read More

“Out on Other Voices Records and all streaming services, with love from Russia, UK and Berlin, this is ‘We Lose Our Cool’. The music of Rats on the Run…”

Single Review: Death Cult Electric – ‘Snakes and their Children’.

R R Read More

“This track is a blast up of guttural sludge, rib-splitting hollers, and crueller-than-thou crunched up gut driven licks. It’s a filth guided grind of destruction…”

Album Review: Frank Rabeyrolles – ‘A Ghost by the Sea’.

R R Read More

“Half synthwave, half chill, there’s meander and flow, but that doesn’t mean everything’s comfy. There are sombre and ominous hints and inflections that keep us from feeling too easy…”

EP Review: Kingdumb – ‘Fruity’.

R R Read More

“Bass lines warble and wump with a ground level dirt, synth tones spin minimalist samples. Sounds of drum and bass and dubstep have been pinched and re-twisted into two minute measures…”

Exit_International: ‘Chainsaw Song’ / ‘Black Junk’.

R R Read More

This is spleen venting filth with a mean garage grind that ties punk up in white-knuckle knots…

Single Review: Anomic Soul – ‘Believe’.

R R Read More

“There’s so much in the sonics and bones of ‘Believe’ that it’s hard to know just where start. It’s frustratingly clever, emphatically catchy, and just so damn easily accessible…”
