Freese Trio – The Beast in the Blueprint

The Beast in the Blueprint is an astounding and creative album by Leeds trio Freese. Blending trip-hop and darkwave, among other things, Freese create a sombre but creatively gorgeous album. It’s full of haunting melodies and each song is very well crafted. A great album to be sure!


Prissy Whip – Swallow

Succinctly, Prissy Whip is a weird band. I love weird bands. On Swallow, the band offers us a delivery that is part avant-prog, part experimental pop, part noise rock, and all fun! Their sound mostly consists of altered … Read more

Peach and Tomato – The Ultimate Pairing (Falcon Gumba)

Peach and Tomato is a violin and viola contemporary classical duo. On The Ultimate Pairing, musicians Sana and Leonor exchange and dialogue in various wonderful ways, sometimes like a face-off and other times a thorough interplay where each one builds on what the other brings. It’s a surprisingly fun and enjoyable record, sure to pique your brains for a while.

Álvaro Domene & Henry Kaiser – El tren fantasma (Iluso)

https://vimeo.com/325315303

Guitarists Álvaro Domene and Henry Kaiser join forces to create a new, improvised soundtrack to El tren fantasma, a Mexican black and white silent film from 1927. Needless to say, the newly substantiated soundtrack is far more contemporary than the movie itself, and consists of two electric guitar duets and one massive acoustic guitar duet, which makes up the biggest portion of the recording. Despite its minimalist conception and impressive length, there is no shortage of ideas flowing through El tren fantasma, from start to finish. The … Read more
