Richard Luke ~ Glass Island
Brexit affects more than just Britain, as poignantly shown by Scottish composer Richard Luke on Glass Island. The referendum has sent shock waves around Europe, as has Scotland’s drive for independence. But Luke’s take is different. He describes these songs as having “confidence

Chris Weeks ~ Borders
We suspect we’ll be hearing a lot of Brexit albums this year, as nearly a dozen have already been announced. Borders is one of the best, capturing the claustrophobia of xenophobia through clouds of drone and the sadness of a breakup

Neal Heppleston ~ Folk Songs for Double Bass

Andi Toma ~ Damn Luei Lit
The Infinite Greyscale label is back! Or more properly, the musical wing is back, as co-owners Paul McDevitt & Cornelius Quabeck have been focusing on art and books over the past two years. Damn Luei Lit resurrects the screenprinted 10″, which is a
