Chewing on a Wire // Glove
Do you want to hear what the joint offspring of The Horrors and Kraftwerk would be? I thought you would. Give Glove a try. This is such a track for an alternative weekender. Dark and synthy, it channels the dark 80s tracks that you think of but can never actually find. Echo and the Bunnymen…
The Great Escape Festival 2023
This year, we made our way back to The Great Escape in Brighton. I have been going there since 2008 and it is so much bigger than it was when I saw The Rifles, Ida Maria, Young Knives, The Answering Machine and such. It’s grown and evolved with independent music and, as much as I…

Seat for Sadness // Many Voices Speak
I love Sweden, there is something beautifully chilled and mysterious about it, to me at least. That feeling of quiet intricacy and darkness has been captured perfectly by Matilda Mård as Many Voices Speak. Layers and layers of vocals, chilled as f— drums (which I love) and the organ like keys merged in synth. Nothing…
