Wil Bolton ~ Under A Name That Hides Her
Consistency is a vastly under-appreciated virtue in music. Too often consistency can be read as boring, unadventurous, unwilling to take new risks and grow as a musician and artist. There’s an element of truth in that, for some musicians (those

King Britt Presents Fhloston Paradigm ~ Fhloston Paradigm EP
The connection between electronic music and science fiction movies is so established that it doesn’t really need dwelling on here. Nevertheless, there are a few clues here that King Britt is influenced by a certain film that stars Bruce Willis

Plankton Wat ~ Spirits
Name an album Dawn of the Golden Eternity, and you give a pretty clear idea of what’s going on inside. So perhaps it’s not surprising that Dewey Mahood – for he is Plankton Wat, as well as being one third

Sepalcure ~ Eternally Yrs
The name might suggest a South American metal band, but Sepalcure is the collaboration between Praveen Sharma and the prolific Travis Stewart (aka Machinedrum). The lead-off title track is taken from last year’s eponymous debut album but the other three
