Luo, Project 206, Plastic Dogs, Ted Byrnes, Cursed Mantis, and Taupe

Luo – Unspoken

Luo is the duo of Josh Trinnaman and Barney Sage. Musically, it is also a duo of sorts, combining electronic music and metal in what could perhaps be coined “post-djent”, although the “electro-djent” category is still very much adequate, here. Unspoken is definitely up there among the best of the genre, with its odd rhythms, lush textures, and compelling song structures. Check it out!


Project 206 – Volatile

Galen Bundy’s Project 206 is one of messing around with jazz and pushing personal limits. On the Volatile debut EP, we’re met with a lot of interesting ideas coming … Read more

Monthly Recommendations: March 2020

Y/N – Part Ⅰ: It’s Glass & Part Ⅱ: It’s Also Glass

Experimental pop artist Y/N released, a few years ago, Larry and the Eternal Light, one of my favourite albums of the year, and so it is with much excitement that I present to you a double EP release about… glass? and brains? and aliens? Honestly I’m not entirely certain what it’s about, but I know the music’s great! Y/N’s very idiosyncratic approach to composition still shine and make this diptych one really fun ride!
