The Necks ~ Body

One of the things that makes The Necks so brilliant is their continual exploration of organicism in any and all its forms, not only in pure musical terms but also as ensemble. For the past few years that’s meant drawing

Kenji Kahara ~ Scenes of Scapes

Summer is ending.  We hate to say it, because despite all our complaints about the heat, humidity and mosquitos, summer often represents more than it offers.  Summer is vacations by the sea, rest and relaxation, a surrender to the flow

Pinkcourtesyphone ~ Romantic Threat

Romantic Threat is illusory music; a shimmering, surreal amusement park with a nauseating funhouse as a premier attraction, loud hollers of ‘roll up, roll up, get your hot dogs here‘ from the food stalls, and high-pitched cries drunk on helium

Cameron Day ~ The Castle and the Garden
