Papangu – Holoceno (Repose Records)

Papangu’s debut album sounds in equal part interesting and daunting, if their introduction of it anything to go by: it is “a concept album inspired by ecological escatology and the modernist literature of Norheastern Brazil – a hardy, arid region… Continue Reading →

The Spacelords – Unknown Species (Tonzonen Records)

It’s been four years since I last reviewed an album by Germanic psychedelic trio The Spacelords, the esteemed editor having given judgement on their 2020 release (see Ave Noctum passim), so it will be interesting to discover how they have… Continue Reading →

Kreationist – Dans L’Interminable (I, Voidhanger)

Poetic in more ways than one. Lyrically here we take to the work of Paul Verlaine, decadent artisan and lover of Arthur Rimbaud. This is the muse followed into the Fin de Siecle period of 19th Century Paris by Belgian… Continue Reading →

The Osiris Club – The Green Chapel (No Profit Recordings)

The Osiris Club is a band I feel I ought to know something about. They’re from London, I’ve seen their name many times and I know they’re prog-orientated with other old-style strings to their bow, as it were. In fact… Continue Reading →

Helheim – Woduridar (Dark Essence)

Of all the wonderful music that 2021 has delivered to our ears when everything else has been far from getting back to normal, to say that Helheim’s eleventh (yes really) album comes with a great deal of anticipation would not… Continue Reading →

Green Lung – Black Harvest (Svart Records)

Within any music industry, year in and year out there are endless lists of “rising stars”, “ones to watch”, or “the sound of (insert year here)”.  The vast majority of these acts will be the darlings of journalists more pretentious… Continue Reading →

Diagonal – 4 (Cobblers Records)

Diagonal, hail from the pebbly multicultural mecca of Brighton, which over the years has seemed to morph from just another seabound slide into retirement into a bubbling caldron of counterculture, expressionism and tolerance. I have spent many a lovely time… Continue Reading →

The Sun or The Moon – Cosmic (Tonzonen)

The clue is in the album title, the artwork and the band name. “Psychedelic space lounge music” is what they call it. Electronic at the core, one of the influences is Kraftwerk. I can live with that. So too do… Continue Reading →

Fluisteraars – Gegrepen door de Geest der Zielsontluiking (Eisenwald)

I could have sworn I had tackled Dutch ‘whisperers’ Fluisteraars in the past review wise but realised I had been getting them muddled up with countrymen Fluisterwoud who actually split up in 2009. An easy mistake I guess but one… Continue Reading →

Subterranean Masquerade – Mountain Fever (Sensory)

Israel’s Subterranean Masquerade have actually been around in one guise or another for over 15 years, but with a pretty much stable line-up in place since 2018, this fourth album (the first by the band since 2017) is a bit… Continue Reading →

Los Disidentes Del Sucio Motel – Polaris (Klonosphere Records)

French five-piece outfit Los Disidentes Del Sucio Motel release their fourth long player after several years of quiet. This is a band that is a little hard to pigeon hole from a genre point of view. “Polaris” finds them stretching… Continue Reading →

Astrakhan – Slow Ride Towards Death (Black Lodge)

With a style described as dark cinematic progressive rock. Astrakhan from Sweden are regarded as treading a path between Opeth and Pink Floyd. This is their third album release. I’d read that singer Alexander Lycke had a stunning voice, and… Continue Reading →
