Snide Rhythms - Welcome To Music Industry Fantasy Land
posted a review of Snide Rhythms - Welcome To Music Industry Fantasy Land. over 2 years ago
"Whether playfully tongue-in-cheek or properly ‘snide’, the album’s title demonstrates their unwillingness to confirm to music industry expectations. Musically, the trio’s post rock harks back to the DIY indie of the 1980s and hissy late night radio,... See full review

posted a review of Chewed Palaces - Sacred Geometries / Time Shift. over 5 years ago
Sacred Geometries features spoken vocals over psychedelic, funky riffage and spacey effects, shot through with a relentless electronic pulse. Time Shift is retro-futuristic electronic experimentalism that balances a dark-edged atmosphere with a sense... See full review

Thinktank (Vinnie and The Leph) have released a clutch of cult EPs, supported Autechre and Boards Of Canada live, and are inexplicably not bigger. This EP, a reconstruction of older material with new gear, is a hidden gem that you’d be advised to get... See full review
