Boris Shared Video For “Fade”
2022 marks the 30th anniversary Boris; a year of upheaval as the first post-pandemic year. This year, Boris put out the albums W and Heavy Rocks (2022) in succession, and for the first time in three years went on tour overseas, playing “rock-like” shows that garnered reactions from around the world exceeding those prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. This was…

Dun Field Three – We Came From The Ocean Where Everyone Swallows The Words 12″ EP (Noise Appeal Records)
Noise Appeal Records are unstoppable this year. This prolific Austrian record label publishes at least one release per month, and so far, everything I heard sounds good. Those familiar with publishing probably know it’s hard to maintain quality and quantity together, and Noise Appeal are good at it. They’re one of the best record labels…

Lore City – Under Way 7″ EP
Today, we have another exceptional release on our pages. If you followed us regularly, you probably noticed we’re knee-deep into post-punk music, so when this release arrived at our headquarters, we spun it on our turntable for weeks. However, the sound of Lore City is far from plain, old, simplistic post-punk, repetitiously explored by so…

It’s Everyone Else – Heaven Is An Empty Room LP (Noise Appeal Records)
It’s time for some more Noise Appeal Records-related artists. Of course, It’s Everyone Else are not strangers to our pages. I had a chance to listen to and write about their latest full-length record, Pirouette, a couple of weeks ahead of the release date. That particular full-length was an introduction to the luxurious music of…

V/A – Grazil Records & Friends Vol. 2. (Grazil Records)
Before the internet, samplers were a great way to hear new music, find out about new bands, and check out label activities. That way, you could handpick several bands and purchase their releases without wasting money on something you didn’t like. Sadly, the format lost in popularity with the rise of the mp3 era and…

You can stumble upon every possible music genre by scrolling down their pages. Just name it, they have it. Come System is unquestionably one of those unique bands that’re…

Marcus Herne – 88 II
Once again, we’re delving deep into the experimental avant-garde waters. I would like to introduce Marcus Herne, a London-based composer and experimental artist who uses various approaches to achieve the desired sound. After the critically acclaimed composition 88, which consists of countless layers of piano recordings, Further Reach, and Forms EP, Herne revisits his artistic/sonic…

Amphior – Phantasm
Danish experimental artist Amphior unleashed a brand new single a couple of days ago. Phantasm is the debut single from his latest full-length release named Another Presence. It serves as a perfect introductory piece into the vast sonic universe delivered by a very talented experimental performer who simultaneously merges several complementary genres of avant-garde music…

Jem Doulton – The Spitting Dummy Parade
We have another tremendous artist today who’s no stranger to our pages. I wrote about Jem Doulton before, and you should all be aware of his art by now. Doulton is an experienced drummer who recorded and toured with the greats such as Thurston Moore and Róisín Murphy, but also active in many psych/alternative rock,…

Earth To Abigail – The Forest
It’s been a while since we had an experimental solo artist on our pages, so this particular release will suit those who’re into an avant-garde approach to several complementary genres. These music genres don’t need to be under the experimental branch by any means. Quite the contrary, the aesthetics of this particular release indicate that…
