Formed by three tireless composer-improvisers, Anthony Laguerre on drums, Bastien Pelenc and Mathieu Werchowski on violins, the trio has engineered a fully organic, cinematic, and feverish soundscape. This is a…

Lindsay Anderson – Forgiving
Lindsay Anderson’s latest work is a conceptual journey into the liminal space between creation and destruction, love and loss, and the consuming gravity of the muse.

LP last year, a full-length album that instantly establishes itself as the new standard-bearer for what real screamo music should sound like. In times when “screamo” is often watered down or merely hybridized, these…
