Molnbär av John ~ The End
The End is a tale of two albums, the first lighthearted and twee, the second haunted and dark. It’s like The Caretaker decided to go on a bender before sobering up and returning to his normal pursuits. This all amounts to

V/A ~ Bleeps, Beats & Bass – 10 Years of Basserk Records

Andrea Borghi ~ Fuochi Rituali di San Giuseppe
As the weather turns cold and the days grow dark, the fire season waits. We split and gather logs, clean the stoves and fireplaces, and perhaps enjoy a few outdoor campfires with hot dogs and s’mores. Sure, it might be
