Hex Mountains has sprung up from a collision between the tectonic plates of post-rock and drone – a menacing, guitar-driven organism that seems to have emerged from far beneath the surface of the everyday. Thisquietarmy presents a soundtrack to a

My Tiger Side ~ 1

With a dichotomous debut that offers intriguing insight into the diverse disciplines of composition and improvisation, My Tiger Side demonstrates how a stripped-down approach focusing on absence as much presence can succeed in wedding these opposing approaches. The album, simply titled

jikan ga nai ~ …plenty time

Swathes of fuzzy synth are rudely punctured by a rigid kick and snare – a mechanised intrusion that harks back to “Machine Gun” from Portishead’s Third LP. A brief break, and the beat returns, but now features syncopated hits that

Utu Lautturi ~ Korpinkorva

Ambient this may (loosely) be, but background listening Korpinkorva certainly is not. A truly cerebral experience spread across four parts, the EP in its entirety conveys ‘a life plagued by mental disorder’, also partly visualised in an accompanying video. It

Rhian Sheehan ~ Stories from Elsewhere

A swelling synth and plaintive piano offer the barest whisper of a greeting, and cast a malaise over a distant field recording of the hum of everyday life. It is an unassuming entrance to an album that slowly yet insistently
