Kyros – Recover

Recover is a limited edition release by Kyros in which they cover an eclectic range of artists in their own style. Let’s face it, it’s been a bloody weird 18 months since the ‘C’ word hit us all. Some artists…

Mahogany Frog – In the Electric Universe

Broadly speaking, there are three types of music in my house which I am encouraged to listen to alone; firstly, the ‘dark and depressing’, secondly the ‘downright weird’, and finally, the ‘racket’. Mahogany Frog probably occupy ground somewhere between the…

Plenty – Enough

Plenty enough… geddit? Actually, I could listen to this highly skilled tranche of dream-pop all day long. Well, maybe until just after lunch, when a rising need for low-slung loud guitars will probably be scratching at my perineum. The thing…

TOTO – With A Little Help From My Friends

Good and bad news for TOTO fans: after the simultaneous release of two solo albums earlier this year by guitarist Steve Lukather and singer Joseph Williams, the third album from the American collective has been released in a short time.…

A Formal Horse – Meat Mallet

“Who would have thought it starts in Lowestoft?” Well, it actually emanates from Southampton, where A Formal Horse have diligently gone about crafting the successor to the startlingly brilliant Here Comes a Man from the Council with a Flamethrower, released…

Fungi – Into The Void

Fungi are a Mexican band who take the alt-metal sounds of the late ’90s and early ’00s, and add a progressive edge. I’m not a fan of either label, but for what it’s worth, the sound of Into the Void…

Michael Woodman – Psithurism [EP]

‘Psithurism’ is a word that rolls off the tongue very pleasantly. With a desire to use it, further investigation reveals that it comes from an ancient Greek term to reference the sound of wind through the trees. Bingo! “The psithurism…

Victor Go – Tales From McIntyre Lake

The first release I heard from Victor Go was the Ukrainian multi-instrumentalist’s fourth album, The Leap (released last year). The internet has provided opportunities for many a one-man-band to put their music out there, and I admit I tend to…

Coevality – Multiple Personalities

Wow…! I mean, WOW! Los Angeles-based Coevality have announced their arrival with an absolutely stunning debut album. So impressed with Multiple Personalities, I will go on record now and say 2021 will be a truly spectacular year indeed if this…
