Kanye West
ye
The shy and retiring Kanye West drops the eighth LP of what, to this point, has been a relatively uneventful career. By Yeezy’s standards, ye is short and sweet. Seven tunes, about twenty-five minutes in length, and only a couple of guests. Barely more than an EP really. But the thing about this Kanye fella is whe...view item »

State Champion
Send Flowers
State Champion have been around a while now, they play what has been described as ‘college drop-out rock and ‘Beard Rock’’. I’d describe it as American mid-fi indie, tinged at the edges by country rock with an occasional classic rock swagger. Edith Frost guests on the album and &nbs...view item »
Manonmars
Manonmars
Manonmars is somewhat of an enigma. The Bristolian rapper unleashes his debut album via Young Echo Records and the label regard him as something quite special. The self-titled album has been produced by OSVMVSM - the ambient/dub duo of Sam Barrett and Amos Childs. Their production...view item »
tnc6
Sekundenschlaf
Looping fragments of jungle and breakbeat rhythms propel squalid synths and samples on this offering from Russian artist тпсб, or TPSB in Latin script. We doubt it stands for Terrebonne Parish School District. The title Sekundenschlaf refers to insomnia-induced microsleep, summing up the hazy, anxious tone of the al...view item »

The Durutti Column
Sunlight to Blue....Blue to Blackness
Ooh, The Durutti Column, what a relaxing treat. The sleeve for Sunlight to Blue.. Blue to Blackness is totally black save for a monochrome photo of half of Vini Reilly's face (a la Young Marble Giant's 'Colossal Youth') yet the music starts out incredibly bright and sunny, making you feel like you're on the beach (a nice beach, not one covered in s...view item »
Gong Gong Gong
Siren / Something's Happening
Chinese psychedelic blues anyone? Good. Here we have Siren / Something’s Happening by Beijing duo Gong Gong Gong.

Airports / Exodus
Gothernburg bass player Osynlige Mann of URAN GBG and The Exorcist returns with two new tracks on Höga Nord. The a-side, 'Airports' reimagines Kraftwerk as slightly sexier, and more brood. The b-side meanwhile, 'Exodus', has Ma...view item »
New Order & Joy Division
Total (From Joy Division To New Order)
It’s never before been possible to study the trajectory of post-punk pioneers Joy Division and synth-rock sequel New Order in one sitting. The technology simply hasn’t been there. You’d need some kind of ‘play list’ - what a notion. But now, thanks to...view item »
ElpH vs Coil
Worship The Glitch
More Coil!!! If you like the stuff they do on purpose but feel like you're missing out on their accidents, then this is the release for you. ElpH as it turns out is not another artist, but the name they gave to the spirit causing their equipment to glitch. And on Worship the Glitch, they do just that. ...view item »
This Will Destroy You
New Others Part Two

Ed Harcourt
Beyond The End
Famed for writing exquisite pop songs that plough similar furrows to Paul McCartney and Brian Wilson on albums such as Here Be Monsters before turning his hand to being songwriter to the stars, Ed Harcourt follows his expansive major label debut, Furnaces (2016), with a real curveball. Beyond Th...view item »
Stefano Leproto
Dance & Mood Music 1981 - 1983
There’s a nice backstory to how Stefano Leproto’s early-‘80s synth experimentations came to be issued by Castles In Space. Something about a car boot in Preston and the stallholder’s Italian grandfather. Dance &...view item »

Coil presents Black Light District
A Thousand Lights In A Darkened Room
More Coil re-issues and this is from 1996 when Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson and John Balance were joined by Drew McDowall but rather than being the 'poochie' of the show, the new name helped the group take a left turn back to the more avant garde pursuits and experimental electronics. ...view item »

GZA
Liquid Swords: Marvel Edition
Liquid Swords needs no introduction. GZA, ‘Cold World’, guest features from everyone else in Wu-Tang, blah blah blah. A pinnacle of '90s hip-hop, the 1995 record still sounds great more than two decades on from its release. On this new Marvel Edition the LP is given a new lick of pa...view item »

Drexciya
Neptune's Lair
I bring this week's review odyssey to a close with this tasty reissue of a stone cold electroid techno classic, Drexciya's debut full length 'Neptune's Lair'. At this point they'd got a fair few 12"s under their belt, the first coming out seven years prior in 1992, but this 17-track voyage showcased a scope previously only hinted at.

Here we have the first of two records that will be released as backup to Tim Lawrence’s excellent book Life & Death On A New York Dancefloor, 1980-1983. The Love Saves The Day author and Arthur Russell biographer is surely the perfect curator for a compilation such as this one. Russel...view item »

Siouxsie and The Banshees
Hyaena
An interesting anomaly in the Banshees large and sprawling back catalogue. The departed John McGeogh was replaced by none other than Sir Robert Smith of the Cure. Unsurprisingly perhaps it was the Banshees mine a dark underbelly miles away from the pop that was in the charts at the time. No hits but it forced Smith out of his stupour to go on an...view item »
