Decadent Noir music is the description of this third album by Helfir- the brainchild of Luca Mazzotta. To summarise what this appears to mean on first listen is a gentle brooding mix of electronica and rock – imagine a less dancy VnV Nation jamming… Continue Reading →
CNJR (pronounced Conjure) is the work of a nomadic music producer originally from the Pacific North West now relocated to Mexico. This album (c’mon I am not gonna type that out every time despite how wacky the title is) is his 2nd full… Continue Reading →
