Ghostape ensnares an unsuspecting listener in a snug realm of smokey spectral exotica, like turning a flesh and bone body into rice-paper and setting it down on a bed of morning dew where it can melt into the blades of grass on a field in front of a strange formation rendered in black glass and…
Subway’s album ii is the definitive soundtrack for that epic summer which knocks at our door, luminescent sounds squeezed from the chlorophyll pumped leaves of centenary trees which feed on the rays of a sun which smiles benevolent from its fiery & pock marked face, that vibe of absolute and astounding wonder which is so…
Basketball wander beneath night skies patterned with LED constellations across the same pixelated Paper Rad deserts frequented by like-minded sonic nomads and purveyors of jagged Sublime Frequency inspired noise Rainbow Arabia and Mi Ami, dragging behind them broken drums and malfunctioning machines forever talking in tongues attached to a trail of fluorescent wires slithering across…
And now she’s dead. Girlfriend Records heralds from the USA and is a sweet label full of nostalgic Atari aural attacks, a label that lounges on the same beach that spreads across a degraded bitmap sunset landscape where Ghost Car and Valerie collectives are busy building crystalline sand citadels and working on their tan. Head-honcho…

But the third sister, who is also the youngest- hush! Whisper while we talk of her! Her kingdom is not large, or else not flesh should live; but within that Kingdom all power is hers. Her head, turreted like that of Cybele, rises almost beyond the reach of sight. She droops not, and her eyes,…
For whimsical mood-music that further enhances warm but breezy summer days you can always rely on the French. Whether its the soft focus porno music and midnite drive jazz groove of Karl-Heinz Schäfer’s “Les Gants du Diable” soundtrack, or the Nico-esque melodies plucked from icicle clusters of Brigitte Fontaine, or the rolling and diving strings…
Listening to a Finders Keepers compilation is like stepping in one of those invisible cities described by Italo Calvino, a confabulation of sounds from all over that at first might feel chaotic, the outcome of the whimsical pointing of privileged fingers/finders, but it is rapidly that order emerges, you can recognise similar themes shining through…
As the summer approaches, olden genetic memories of dancing around bonfires under the aegis of Dionysus, Bacchus and the like are resurrected in the thick blood that surges across the nicotine-clotted arteries of your spaced out 20jazzfunkgreatsters, what better way to celebrate this sunny day that thee Lord has beckoned upon us than listening to…
