Almeeva ~ EP#2
Shockwaves of speedy, spacious guitar rush out in an intense blaze as the opening seconds of EP#2 play out, and from this point on the pulse never loses slack. Almeeva himself asks us to “never lose the pulse”, and as the

Akatombo ~ false positives

Foton ~ Omega
Foton’s debut is a sound collage in negative, a modern take on musique concrète that blends with its listeners’ surroundings in a manner that equally complements and cancels out the ambient noise. It is quiet enough to allow the sounds

David Newlyn ~ The Misspelled Numbers EP
Vastly different from David Newlyn‘s Deterioration, reviewed here earlier this year, The Misspelled Numbers EP walks listeners into the autumn with “pastoral hums, voices in the rafters and other educational oddities”. Although it refers to school, the EP doesn’t sound like school; at least
