I'd been listening to this album on repeat for over a week, all the while being under the impression it was titled Tropical Dancer. While that label goes some way to evoking the funky fruity rhythms and party atmosphere of Charlotte Adigéry and Bolis Pupul’s first full-length collaboration, it also didn't strike me as the … Continue reading Charlotte Adigéry – Topical Dancer (2022) – Album Review
A few more late finds from 2021, the year that keeps on giving, in the shape of cosmic synthology from the technician in da corner, aka Pye Corner Audio, and unashamedly hedonistic party beats from Eris Drew. Plus unsettling ambience from Kansas City producer, Brian Leeds' Pendant alias, and finally some classic 90s shoegaze psyche-rock … Continue reading 21/01/2022 This week I have been mostly listening to…
“Who needs enemies, with friends as fucked up as these?”, to mangle an old phrase. And mangling is very much what Tobacco (aka Thomas Fec, aka creative mastermind of psyche synth act, Black Moth Super Rainbow) likes to do. Whether it’s the sound of his own voice through a vocoder, or those he wrings out … Continue reading Tobacco – Fucked up Friends 3 (2021)
‘The best is yet to come’, intones Ella Harris throughout Talks, the lead track on PVA’s brand new Toner EP. If this is true then PVA will definitely be a band to watch in 2021. In fact, PVA were supposed to be a band to watch in 2020 but the world had other plans. Having … Continue reading PVA – Toner EP (2020)
It’s very rare that an album really hits the spot on the very first cold listen but this one did for me. On Psychic Data, TVAM (aka Joe Oxley) combines shoegaze, electro, krautrock, industrial and a truckload of analogue synths to produce a sound that's unique but instantly familiar. Effortlessly spanning the boundary between electronic … Continue reading TVAM – Psychic Data (2018)
Jon Hopkins - Singularity (2018). Having played this repeatedly over the last couple of weeks, I can say this is a much stronger album than Immunity (Hopkins’ album prior to this, which I belatedly got round to listening to earlier this year). Maybe I judged that album a little harshly and will return to it … Continue reading 19/08/2020 This week I have been mostly listening to…
Amorphous Androgynous - Tales of Ephidrina and The Isness. It came to my attention that I might be missing a classic from my ever growing collection of early 90s ambient-techno/post-rave/electronic listening music - whatever you want to call it. Future Sound of London (of which Amorphous Androgynous is an alias) are one of my all … Continue reading 21/02/20 This week I have been mostly listening to
