Chris Abrahams / Mark Wastell: A Thousand Sacred Ships
Chris Abrahams / Mark Wastell A Thousand Sacred Ships Confront Recordings Two great improvisers finally recording together. Back in 2018 The Necks had a European residency – so while over there and in that place pianist Chris Abrahams recorded this EP with multi-instrumentalist Mark Wastell. The British percussionist (at least on this recording) and Australian […]Archive

Mali Mali: Kill and Throw (ep)
Mali Mali Kill and Throw (ep) Home Alone Records Ben Tolich has been recording (and touring) as Mali Mali for the last decade. A handful of albums, each its own insular world, each almost impossibly perfect as finite statement – a set of songs that could have been imagined up in isolation without ever hearing […]Archive

Tenderlonious: Tek-88 (ep)
Tenderlonious Tek-88 (ep) DAM Records Prolific producer and mult-instrumentalist Tenderlonious returns with an EP as love-letter to the Roland TR-808. Its cover is enough to get hip-hop heads, vinyl purists and studio boffins salivating – and is probably reason alone for the limited edition 12” vinyl to already be gone, long gone. Sold out just […]Archive

Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Nathan Salsburg, Max Porter: Three Feral Pieces (ep)
Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Nathan Salsburg, Max Porter Three Feral Pieces (ep) (Independent / Bandcamp) Max Porter’s books are getting shorter – each release is smaller than the one previous, a master of opaque prose-poetry masquerading in novel-form. Now, how very novel, he turns his hand to songwriting, the British essayist, poet and writer served up […]Archive

Donato Dozzy: The Tao (ep)
Donato Dozzy The Tao (ep) Samurai Music Italian techno DJ and producer Donato Dozzy is a bit of a magician – he makes the club bangers that also can exist outside of those four walls and can live and breathe on your home stereo too. It’s a slick gift, subtle, intriguing. He’s been making music […]Archive

Ringo Starr: Zoom In – EP
Ringo Starr Zoom In – EP UMe Ringo returns with more content no one asked for – something he’s been doing since at least 1974. And when the best thing you can say about a new release is, “Thank fuck it’s an EP” that pretty much establishes the tone.Archive

Stubbleman: The Black Bird Tapes (ep)
Stubbleman The Black Bird Tapes (ep) Crammed Discs Pascal Gabriel started (musical) life in a punk band and from there to sound-engineering, remixing, producing and writing for electronica acts – he worked with Yello and co-created pioneering hits for S’Express and Bomb The Bass before becoming a go-to set of ears for a range of […]Archive

Little Barrie & Malcolm Catto: Quartermass Seven
Little Barrie & Malcolm Catto Quartermass Seven Madlib Invazion I always rather liked Little Barrie, certainly the group’ s debut from around 15 years ago was a nice slice of British Blues Boom retro feels; all part of that wider retro-rock renaissance but there was something ever so slightly psychedelic about Little Barrie and they […]Archive

James Taylor: Over The Rainbow – The American Standard EP
James Taylor Over The Rainbow: The American Standard EP Fantasy I wasn’t a fan of James Taylor’s early 2020 album of evergreens and American standards. I wanted to be. It should have worked. Should have been my cuppa proverbial herbal. But no. It felt lazy and the strings were cloying and Taylor’s own guitar had […]Archive
