SPECIMENS ~ Intersections
Alex Ives has been refreshingly candid when providing notes about his previous albums. In 2017, he said of Sculptures, “I didn’t want to make a record intentionally difficult to listen to, but I wanted uncomfortable moments.” A year later, for

700 BLISS ~ Nothing To Declare
“I don’t like 700 BLISS… they’re always talking about the end of the world… it’s so dark… is this even music?” (700 BLISS, “Easyjet”) “Is this even music?” is probably a comment you have heard in the past, whether it

Heather Woods Broderick ~ Domes
It’s not something people boast about, but we misremember things all the time. It’s not necessarily forgetfulness; it’s not quite experiencing false memories, but it is labouring under the illusion that we know something when we don’t. At least, we

Kalia Vandever ~ Regrowth
Springtime is finally upon us – nature is bursting into life all around. The mornings and evenings are lighter, the birds sing, the flowers bloom. The ongoing renewal and rebirth of flora and fauna are (just about) enough to lift

Binker & Moses ~ Feeding The Machine
If you think of jazz music’s evolution, you may think of locations – from its birth in New Orleans to the development of bebop New York, from the ‘cool’ of west coast jazz to the colder climes of Scandinavian jazz.

Tangerine Dream ~ Raum
The Ship of Theseus. Trigger’s Broom. Sugababes. All examples of one of the oldest concepts in Western philosophy – if something has had all its original components replaced, does it remain fundamentally the same object? It’s a topic which has

Dana Lyn ~ A Point On A Slow Curve
The Rose by Jay DeFeo is an epic, overwhelming painting that speaks of one artist’s obsession. Its dimensions alone are staggering – over three metres high, it had its canvas extended during the process. Its depth is the most impressive.
