Kammerflimmer Kollektief ~ Désarroi
Few artists ever reach the milestone of a 10th album, but Kammerflimmer Kollektief has just joined this elite group. Even rarer is the act whose 10th album comes across as something strange and new, wild and enigmatic, sending off sparks rather than

One And Seven Eighths ~ They Came From Outer-Space To Interfere With Me
Last summer, we reviewed Modern Camping Songs, a quirky cassette from a pair of Stourbridges (or almost a pair, as one eighth is missing). The follow-up continues in the same vein, unapologetically weird yet clearly creative. While last year’s cassette was compared

Boris Berlin ~ Soundtrack for an Imaginary Film
The title may be a cliché, but the music is not. New York composer Boris Berlin has simply been bold enough to use the phrase. And so, yes, this is the soundtrack to an imaginary film (with an actual plot), but it’s

Theologian ~ Pain of the Saints
Ambitious and multi-layered, Theologian‘s latest effort comprises a disorienting force, the kind that only late industrial music, in all of its transgressive glory, can muster. Under the theme of sainthood as an avenue for criticism of the Catholic Church ethos,

Platonick Dive ~ Overflow
Post-rock bands dabbling with electronics is nothing new – it’s in fact become something of an inevitability for many. In 2014 alone there were some standout releases in this field from heavyweights such as This Will Destroy You, sleepmakeswaves and,

Yannick Dauby ~ tsi̍t lâu tsuí 一流水
Yannick Dauby‘s latest soundscape is not a typical field recording; louder and more immediate than the average effort, this vinyl excursion amplifies the sounds of shore and sea beyond what the naked ear is used to hearing. As a Frenchman
