Dizzo
Dizzo is the vehicle for Dizzo Manizo from Richardson in the USA to bring out his take on Ugandan Dancehall Reggae. Infectious beats bounce across the room and the listener is immediately caught up in the sonic waves that seep into the brain and before you know it – you too are swaying in time […]
Nehedar
Nehedar is an alt-pop singer songwriter from New York in the USA. Bringing together a range on instruments across tracks Nehedar injects a sound that gathers influences from across the world. Instrumentally the sounds are very much about setting a backdrop to the lyrical content and on the surface the aural context is glossy, but […]
Beth Bombara
Beth Bombara is the Americana / blues singer songwriter from St. Louis in the USA. Theoretically I should be coming out in a rash, such is my typical reaction to this style of music. However it remains and continues to develop as a force because when it is done well, there is a powerful emotional […]
Bashful Hips
Bashful Hips is the vehicle for the Aspen, USA based musician Ian Fellerman to get his inner creative soul out in to the world and over a fourteen month period concluding in August 2013 he is releasing a monthly LP. This month saw Volume XI see the light of day. I regularly receive introductions from […]
There’s Too Much
There’s Too Much is the vehicle for New Zealand born, now residing in London – England, Bryce Eden to deliver his industrial electronica. Industrial sounds make perfect sense to me as much of the world heads into fiscal oblivion and Society splinters. The oppressive unstoppable rumble captures the mood of the time. There’s Too Much combines instruments, […]
Fixing Bayonets
Fixing Bayonets is the vehicle for solo shoegaze artist Kevin Smigel from Los Angeles in the USA to deliver his wave of echoed guitars. The material has an ever more oppressive sense of doom as tracks build, which given the context of the heavy echoes and muted sounds that Fixing Bayonets deploys to deliver the music, […]
Tzvika Force
Tzvika Force is the vehicle the Tel Aviv, Israel based solo composer Tzvika Lorber to deliver his dark rock. On hitting play the ears are caressed with top quality compositions. Utilising Pianoforte, the out-put is wreathed in the mystic that the timbre of a piano always adds to guitar and percussion. Although predominately a soloist the addition […]
Opaque Stutters
Opaque Stutters is the soloist Brian Cohen from Chicago in the USA with his alternative indie. Perfectly suited to early Sunday afternoon as I write, Opaque Stutters has enough energy and drive to capture the attention, but is an easy sound with which to engage. I am often intrigued by the nature of solo artists […]
Iggy Azalea
Iggy Azalea originally from Australia is a hip-hop rap singer. There is something quite refreshing about the material Iggy Azalea launches on the world with a freshness and vitality that so-often fails to shine through the genre. There is an intriguing underlay of angst which is delivered with a confidence and sassyness that rents like a a […]
Good Morning Spider
Good Morning Spider is the solo musician Viktor Rinneby from Malmö in Sweden producing his lo-fi psychedelia. You may recall the name Rinneby from Turn Off Your Television, Viktor is Jon’ brother. With a muted hush a fuzzed fusion of inter-weaving sounds emerge from the speakers and caress the ears with an entrancing wave of transience that […]
