Oneohtrix Point Never – Magic Oneohtrix Point Never (Warp, 2020)

Something I’ve talked about at great length in the past is nostalgia, it’s such a powerful force and point of obsession running across and through music. Perhaps it’s a generational thing, perhaps it’s simply a rose-tinted goggles perspective that is a universal human constant; either way these retrospective views of the world have a frequently […]

Jefre-Cantu Ledesma – On The Echoing Green (Mexican Summer, 2017)

Chris — Sat, 24 Jun 2017 15:48:16 +0000

To listen to Cantu-Ledesma records of yesteryear, you would perhaps be surprised to hear the direction he has moved into recently; known early for thick, dense and noisy productions (with such titles as Shining Skull Breath and Speaking Corpse), he has relatively quickly evolved into Shoegaze and Hypnagogic Pop as of late. The result? Records that carve […]

Jefre Cantu-Ledesma – In Summer (Geographic North, 2016)

Every Summer represents a short burst of memorable moments, of pent up anticipation and the need to unwind boiled away under a hot Sun somewhere away from home. In the brief time allotted to In Summer, Cantu-Ledesma distills the essence of our seasonal exploits in fleeting snapshots of characteristically luxurious Noise and Drone passages that immerse you in the […]

Torn Hawk – Union & Return (Mexican Summer, 2016)

Chris — Fri, 03 Jun 2016 15:12:07 +0000

Torn Hawk continues to go from strength to strength with every record, slowly climbing out of the mire of fringe Vaporwave irony and into the light of increasingly crisp and resonant productions. Whilst previous showing Let’s Cry And Do Pushups At The Same Time was very much a step into the direction that Union & Return finds itself in, it […]

Torn Hawk – Let’s Cry And Do Pushups At The Same Time (Mexican Summer, 2014)

Torn Hawk’s Luke Wyatt appears to have outdone himself once again in his second full length of the year; his previous effort Through Force of Will was one I admired for its unrelenting scale and rather unusual presentation, carving out vast tracts of destroyed synth and crooning guitar lines to support its freedom fighting and anarchic tendencies, […]

Jefre Cantu-Ledesma – Songs of Forgiveness (Baro Records, 2014)

Underwhelming but interesting Basinski-esque looping in Cantu-Ledesma's hypnagogic new cassette "Songs of Forgiveness"
