Olli Aarni – Tuokioita (Ultraääni Records, 2023)

Chris — Tue, 15 Aug 2023 17:35:34 +0000

Over the last few days I’ve had some good opportunities to get out of the house and be taking photos. Outside of talking about music here, photography has been a primary hobby of mine for many, many years as a way for me to express my view of the world directly. Unfortunately with a busy […]

Padang Food Tigers – God’s Plenty (Shhpuma, 2021)

Chris — Wed, 10 Nov 2021 17:38:37 +0000

We went canoeing on the River Severn last month, along a quaint 14 mile stretch passing woodlands and sandstone cliffs and steam railways. Aside from the modern bridges and riverside static caravans that punctuate the banks periodically, it has a distinct feeling of being out of time, caught in its own little bucolic world that […]

Desert Islands Discs #2: Giles Corey – Spectral Bride

Chris — Mon, 14 Mar 2016 17:45:24 +0000

“People who want to die don’t know what being dead is like” Dan Barrett’s Giles Corey project isn’t exactly an easy one to talk about; for the uninitiated, his self-titled debut (and thus far only record under the alias) is the record of a man with suicidal depression, the musical diary if you will of […]

Aaron Martin – Comet’s Coma (Eilean Records, 2014)

Chris — Sat, 29 Nov 2014 16:49:42 +0000

For many, the coma or tail of a comet is the most enchanting and beautiful facet of these celestial objects; smears of light across the heavens reflecting the dissipated ice and dust of its source. But for many the real beauty lies in its bright core, the nucleus, a mysterious and ancient craggy lump of […]
