Lassie  Deposit Bottles   Favoriting The Golden Age Of...  Peroquebien  2021  August 13, 2021 --- "Slithering out from the radioactive waste, we are once again blessed by the glorious creeps from Leipzig known as Lassie. This aberrant hit machine strikes again and again with more of their clever, punchy wacked flavor of synth-punk. Loaded with wacky samples, synth and guitar harmonies, riffs and, of course, a fucking shitload of ear worm melody packed and densely arranged for your listening pleasure. Don’t miss the boat. Pick up this outstanding ripper. For fans of a werewolf who can only be killed by piss."      0:03:30 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Busted Head Racket  CLOWNING   Favoriting JUNK FOOD  Painscale Records  2023  Hailing from Newcastle, BHR offer a deranged surrealist onslaught of mutated synth-punk that goes haywire through pummeling rhythms, drilling synths, and lo-fi, chorus-soaked vocals. "I don't put heaps of thought into what the songs are about. I like short, fast songs with hooks and I think the songs reflect that. Most of the lyrics have a loose meaning but they more come about because of a feeling I have. I guess in short I don't really think too much about it."      0:05:28 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Wild Wing  Sound the Alarm   Favoriting Doomed to Repeat  Mock Records  2017  Wild Wing hail from LA, the Valley to be specific. Formed by longtime pals David Gantz, Max Garland, Zach Miller and Theo Cohn, the band spins offbeat yarns in a whirlwind of styles ranging from country and synth-punk to blistering raw rock that could only have been cultivated in those suburban garages. Their bio says their early work was "deeply rooted in rowdy cowpunk, which is a country-folk sub-vibe of punk". They cite Mekons as an influence and we are very good with that here on the Beach....      0:08:37 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Tim Wilson  George Is On My Mind   Favoriting Waking Up The Neighborhood  Southern Tracks Records  1994  Tim Wilson was a Georgia born comedian, songwriter and impressionist. In addition to a series of LPs for the independent Southern Tracks label, including Tough Crowd, Waking Up the Neighborhood, Low-Class Love Affair, and Tuned Up, Wilson scored a hit single with his "Garth Brooks Ruined My Life," also co-writing Jeff Foxworthy's smash "The Redneck Twelve Days of Christmas." Upon signing to Capitol, he released his major-label debut, It's a Sorry World, in early 1999; Gettin' My Mind Right followed later that same year. He released records into the early 2000's before passing away at the age of 52 of a heart attack.      0:11:06 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Iggy Pop  Five Foot One   Favoriting Live at Montreux 2023  EARmusic  2024  Iggy Pop has announced a new live album titled ‘Live At Montreux Jazz Festival 2023" The 18-track record captures the punk rock icon’s career-spanning set at the Montreux Jazz Festival in July last year. Pop was accompanied by a seven-piece band for his performance at the Auditorium Stravinski in Switzerland. Here, he treated the crowd to songs from his solo catalogue as well as numerous cuts from his time with The Stooges. “I give something extra every time I do Montreux Jazz,” the star said in a statement. “In ’23 it was deep cuts like ‘Mass Production’, ‘Endless Sea’, ‘Five Foot One’ and a hell of a lot of sweat.”      0:13:02 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Blue Oil  Money   Favoriting Nome Noma: Québec Post-Punk Et New Wave 1979-1987  Les Disques Du Tresor Nationale  2020  QUEBEC’S FIRST ALL-WOMEN PUNK GROUP! Formed in 1978, Blue Oil played relentlessly through Quebec’s early ’80s scene with their dynamic brand of punk, new wave, and post-punk. They were often the target of sexist bullshit...after appearances on Pop Express TV show, and 2 music documentaries in 83 and 84, the band calls it quits for several years, eventually re-emerging in 1988 for an EP release and a full length in 1991 before again disbanding.      0:17:28 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Kas Product  Mind   Favoriting Mind 7" Mini EP  Punk Records  1981  Another very nice 7" I wish was in my collection. Formed in 1980, the duo consists of Spatsz (Daniel Favre) on electronics and rhythm machines with Mona Soyoc on guitar, vocals and piano. Spatsz worked at a psychiatric hospital previously while Soyoc worked with a jazz band before meeting Spatsz. Considered one of the highlights of the French minimal wave scene their music is done in a similar minimal electronics and vocal style akin to Kaleidoscope-era Siouxsie and the Banshees, Suicide and Soft Cell. The press compared Soyoc's voice to that of Siouxsie Sioux...haunting, mad vocals hemmed in by and stretched out over the alternately boiling/icy keyboards, the shattering chatter of arching/dive bombing guitar and stabbing electronic rhythms.      0:20:16 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Autumn  Night In June   Favoriting Not Afraid To Die  Micrart Group  2020  Autumn was founded by childhood friends Peter Bonne (“Sen”) and Geert Coppens (“Ense”) in 1980. The pair shared an interest in experimental music and at age 16 had accumulated from family and friends the synths and keyboards they used to release their first tape, Seven Days Autumn. w of rented gear, they set up an event called Hard Breakfast which exhibited improvisational electronic music and graphic art. From this point on visuals became a vital element of the group, who that year also composed some original tracks for an 8mm film of classmate Jan Verheyen. Bonne and Coppens acquired additional synths, keyboards, drum machines and electronic drums, which allowed them to release a much evolved tape called Experiments With Environments. The band matured and tightened up further in 1982 when joined by Peter Koustaal. During 1983, Geert conceived the idea of performing a soundtrack for Fritz Lang’s Metropolis. They spent over six months writing the piece and obtaining a decent video copy of the film. In February of 1984, Autumn performed their soundtrack live at Leuven University, backed up on multiple monitors by meticulously synced up video. Despite the huge success of the performance, a commercial soundtrack was released for the movie simultaneously and the band was unable to secure copyrights or tour with the act. Discouraged by the Metropolis setback, the band only recorded one more tape, Silicon Valley, before disbanding in 1984. From there, the band explored other electronic music styles, forming side projects Linear Movement, Twilight Ritual and A Split Second.      0:23:01 (MP3 | Pop-up)

Country Teasers  Lets Have a Shambles   Favoriting Toe Rag Sessions (September 1994)  Crypt Records  1994  Early Country Teasers albums were characterised by literate, scathingly satirical lyrics and discordant, repetitive sound – like William S. Burroughs leading Joy Division or The Fall through a setlist of art-damaged country and western songs. //// Later Teasers releases branched out to "abuse not only country and western but every other genre they can get their hands on, including rap, goth, punk, folk, disco, electronic, and noise,"leading to comparisons with other home-recording deconstructionists like Royal Trux, Butthole Surfers and Ween. //// Frontman and songwriter Ben Wallers's lyrics have elicited comparisons to Jonathan Swift, Bill Hicks and Chris Morris, provoking the audience with unorthodox standpoints and purposefully offensive vocabulary in order to force them to question their own opinions. In the words of a writer on the Drowned in Sound website, ""Evil country outfit" Country Teasers are led by the enigmatic singer/guitarist BR Wallers. Their discordant aural assault is filled out with bitingly ironic lyrics, poking fun at racism and sexism by inhabiting the minds of the losers that purvey these attitudes." "Like moralistic ’80s punks Crass, the Country Teasers make their statement, but they use humor to do it, as opposed to histrionic art-house punk screech… They find your comfort zone and blissfully stomp all over it." //// The Teasers' live shows are infamously unpredictable fusions of alcohol-or-whatever-fueled unprofessionalism and high-concept performance art, or in the words of the New York Press: "Country Teasers does art better than Sonic Youth and drunkenness better than The Pogues—and doesn’t need art or liquor to be confrontational bastards." //// Country Teasers are often compared to The Fall, although as Static Party's Ryan W points out, "it's not in the chord structures or the Northern (UK) accent, it's in the feel they create akin to the early Fall records that a truly creative brain is battering against resistance (self or other) to create something meaningful to itself. If you get something from it as well... Art! Put on a CT record and read the Maakies comics, it's better than bread and chocolate."      0:39:04 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Hamilton Leithauser  Fist of Flowers   Favoriting This Side of the Island  Leithauser & Leithauser  2025  Released March 07, 2025 --- "James Hamilton Leithauser (born April 15, 1978) is an American singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. He is the lead vocalist of the American indie rock band The Walkmen, with whom he wrote and recorded seven studio albums from 2000 to 2014. Prior to The Walkmen's formation, Leithauser and bass guitarist and organist, Peter Matthew Bauer, were both members of The Recoys. Leithauser was born and raised in Washington, DC, and has lived in New York City since the 1990s."    *   0:41:49 (MP3 | Pop-up)
De Kift  Rode Maan   Favoriting Niemandsland  De Kift  2024  "Op 14 november 2024 vindt de release plaats van Niemandsland, het nieuwe album van muziekgezelschap De Kift. Op Niemandsland gaan we op zoek naar het mooie en schone in zorgelijke tijden met dertien nummers die ontroeren en verontrusten. //// Rode Maan is geschreven in de elektrische, ongepolijste stijl uit de begintijd van De Kift en bezingt het verlangen naar een betere toekomst." //////// "On November 14, 2024, Niemandsland, the new album by music company De Kift, will be released. On Niemandsland we go in search of the beautiful and the beautiful in worrying times with thirteen songs that move and disturb. //// Rode Maan is written in the electric, unpolished style from the early days of De Kift and sings about the desire for a better future." //// "It's beautiful here, it's beautiful, but for how long? ----- With No Man's Land, music group De Kift will release their thirteenth studio album in November 2024. Politically, socially and climatically there is a lot going on. With No Man's Land, De Kift goes in search of the beautiful and the beautiful in worrisome times." https://dekift.nl/      0:44:43 (MP3 | Pop-up)
The Sound  Words Fail Me   Favoriting Jeopardy    1980  "Jeopardy is the debut studio album by English post-punk band the Sound. It was released in November 1980 through the record label Korova. //// The album fared poorly commercially, only reaching No. 23 in New Zealand, but received critical acclaim. One single, "Heyday", was released from the album. //// Following their 1979 EP Physical World, the band started work on a full-length album. Impressed by the rough mixes, Korova signed the group. Jeopardy was recorded inexpensively at Elephant Studios in London, and was produced by the Sound themselves and Nick Robbins.[3][4] Adrian Janes, ex-member of the Outsiders along with Sound frontman Adrian Borland and Bob Lawrence, contributed writing to two tracks, despite not being a member of the Sound. //// Regarding the album, drummer Michael Dudley said: I felt I had really achieved something in my life. I couldn't wait to hand out copies to family and friends [...] It was the most fun to record and the biggest challenge to work on in the studio [of all the Sound's albums]. //// The album was preceded by the release of the single "Heyday" in September 1980. The single was well received in the press, with Dave McCullough of Sounds calling the song "one of the most exciting and most astonishingly adept big label debut singles I've heard since the Jam's 'In the City'". //// Jeopardy was released in November 1980. It was lauded by critics upon its release, but fared poorly commercially, failing to chart in the UK and with the band's fanbase failing to expand further than a cult following."      0:48:24 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Caesar Of Cymatics  Unlovingly Lie   Favoriting Unlovingly Lie  Caesar Of Cymatics  2025  "Caesar Of Cymatics is the brainchild of 17-year-old Tom Clegg (known as Caesar in his act). The songs written in his room include ideas of identity, romance, isolation and the questions of where are we, why are we here and how did we get here? //// A rising solo artist blending Dream Pop, Post-Punk, and alternative influences like The Smiths, The Chameleons and The Velvet Underground. Learning his first two chords at the age of 11 and writing his first few songs during the lockdown, and then arriving with a blast of frequency and vibration in late 2022 with "It's Plain Knowing". //// Since then, Caesar has amassed a notable online following as well as becoming a discussed name in the local scene through handing out free CDs of his music in local Record Shops and Afflecks. After creating a quick buzz surrounding his music, notable promoters such as Scruff Of The Neck and Venture Entertainment picked him up, working with him to create some of the best and grassroot shows in Manchester with his band behind him - Dylan Flint (Bass), Nathan Yates (Drums) and Sam Baker (Lead Guitar), allowing him to put his sound to the some of the most significant venues in Manchester such as Manchester Academy and The Deaf Institute. //// This brings us to now, with his debut EP 'if it weren't for them...' out and his new single 'Unlovingly Lie', he continues to sell out stages across Manchester and work in the studio. Caesar continues to strive for creating a wonderful community of independent artists and cultivate a large following for not only himself, but the scene that he so dearly loves and cares for." https://www.caesarofcymatics.com    *   0:51:15 (MP3 | Pop-up)

Spllit  Heavy Handed Time   Favoriting Spllit Sides  Feel It Records  2021  Somewhere out there, a new sound known as Next Level Music exists. The hot and humid Amite River basin of Baton Rouge, Louisiana is the unlikely, albeit natural inflection point for such a sound - created by a duo with a driving penchant for originality, known as SPLLIT. The story of Spllit begins with a fun challenge of sorts: to write and record split sides of an album in under a day's time. Enter Urq and Marance, and their arsenal of odd-shaped guitars, synthesizers, glass and metal percussive gadgets, marimbas, and so-on. "Spllit Sides" slowly rises from a cacophony of tape splicing into clear and concrete Next Level Music. Like an acid tableaux vivant ~ a swirling sonic whirlwind of loose and odd time signatures come into play along with the occasional pop sensibility. Originality remains key in Spllit's formula, but let's establish some sonic kinship - maybe a Devolved, Deep South version of The Flying Lizards. Or a deep fried Eno sitting in with The Magic Band.      1:02:55 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Bingo Fury  Birchall & Kings   Favoriting Birchall & Kings Single  Practise Music  2022  Melding together fractured post-punk elements with what feels almost like a free jazz approach, 'Birchall & Kings' twists itself inside out. Bingo relates that the single was "spawned from an obsession with limitation in the creative process. It’s an attempt at writing a mono-tonal song, while trying to keep things engaging. Lyrically, It’s finding solace in a dysfunctional environment."      1:04:11 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Indoor Life  Gilmore of the Filmore   Favoriting Indoor Life  Celluloid Celluloid  1981  Indoor Life -- an undisputed delightful blend of rock, new wave and hypnotic grooves, at that time often compared and collated with Tuxedomoon.

Manicured Noise  Mystery Sound   Favoriting Northern Stories 1978/80  Caroline Records  2006  Formed in 1978 by lead vocalist/guitarist Steven Walsh (though credit should be given to Owen Gavin — the original singer who only has credit on two recorded songs) and rounded out by drummer Stephanie Nuttall, bassist Jodie Taylor, and clarinet/saxophone player Peter Bannister, the group initially played — as described by Walsh — “punk jazz.” He continues: “We sang about spies and secret codes and saw ourselves as new puritans playing a stern, pared-down antidote to the rock ‘n’ roll romanticism that Punk had slid into.” They served in supporting slots for Wire, Souixsie & the Banshees, Big in Japan, and the Human League. They even had a small hit with the 1980 song “Faith” — a jubilant, sax-led, disco-rock thrasher of a pop song. This soon led to a small BBC session with David Jensen. They shared a rehearsal space with Joy Division… and then nothing happened. The band disintegrated and so did any memory of their music.      1:09:25 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Alan Vega  Every 1's a Winner   Favoriting Saturn Strip  Elektra  1983  Saturn Strip is an album by Alan Vega, released in 1983 on Elektra Records. The album was produced by Ric Ocasek and features musical contributions from Al Jourgensen. Every 1's a Winner by Alan Vega was written by Errol Brown and was first released by Hot Chocolate in 1978. Alan Vega, in true Suicide style strips it down to one beat, one groove, and his linear vocal delivery...with a nod to the original in retaining the instrumental hook by way of a cheeky keyboard part. This version slaps hard. HARD.      1:12:46 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Benefits  Imperfect   Favoriting Imperfect Single  Olympians Incorporated  2020  An issues based music collective from Teesside in the North East of England. We write songs about the urgencies that concern us. These songs are loud. mperfect is a song about the current rotten state of the United Kingdom, written and recorded during the Coronavirus lockdown, April 2020. They rage against racism and nationalism, sexism, all the bad isms. They are inspired heavily by Sleaford Mods. Some refer to then as the "Poundland Mods"...Says vocalist Kingsley Hall "“We don’t have anyone editing us or telling us what to do,” shrugs Hall. “We’re not writing to get on radio, we’re not writing to be populist or to be liked. When all that’s off the table, we become more honest, and that’s what seems to be clicking with people. We don’t give a fuck and that’s fine.”      1:17:03 (MP3 | Pop-up)

Public Image Limited  Nineteen Eighty One (Original Version, Townhouse 1981)   Favoriting Unreleased (Later on the compilation The Public Image Is Rotten (Songs From The Heart))  Unreleased  1981  Original 1981 version of the song "1981", that would later be released in 1984 on "This Is What You Want... This Is What You Get". It was recorded during the Flowers Of Romance sessions at Townhouse, and never made it onto that album. This is a sparer version that brings Martin Atkins' percussion to the fore. The bass playing seems a little tentative & it's possible that this, like the other Flowers Of Romance outtake "Vampire", just never got finished. It seemed like the world was busy writing about the year 1984 (inspired by George Orwell) leading up to that year; trust John Lydon to release a song about 1981 in 1984.

The Mauskovic Dance Band  Wie Niet Weg Is Gezien   Favoriting Bukaroo Bank  Bongo Joe  2022  Bukaroo Bank is actually Mauskovic’s second album. There, the band reinvents both their approach and their sound, while maintaining the rhythm-forward euphoria heard on their debut album and surrounding singles. It is one of those albums that sounds brashly live, like you’re in the room while the jams are being kicked out, but in fact uses the studio very shrewdly. For the studio setting, they chose Electric Monkey, operated by engineer Kasper Frenkel. His stacks of what Nicola calls “very strange equipment”, and ability to sprinkle magic dub dust over everything, suited the vibe perfectly. The results glow and shiver with assembled synth sounds, rhythms spliced and echoed in a way that hails late Jamaican dub great Lee Perry – maybe the band’s biggest influence.      1:56:35 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Jasno Swarez, Tea Eater, Rafting  Chelsea Wishes   Favoriting Chelsea Wishes Single  Jasno Swarez  2024  New York musician interested in horticulture, tech, space travel, queer art. Speaking truth to power is neither easy nor one-dimensional. Sometimes, it comes across as humor. Sometimes, it’s a rallying cry for justice. Other times, it’s a snotty alt rock song. Recording bands like The Vandelles, Gustaf, and Native Sun at his studio La Fam Recordings, he has his ear tuned to all things alternative rock. These new songs reflect a return to the music he loved in high school – bands like Hole, Nirvana, and Sonic Youth. As a queer person playing alternative music, Swarez combines the angsty guitar sound of the 90s with lyrics about the queer experience in a heteronormative society. While this song might seem easy and dismissable, the more you listen, the deeper it gets. An excellent example of a songs lyric that changes in meaning each time it's sung....      1:59:13 (MP3 | Pop-up)
The Orielles  Airtight   Favoriting Tableau  Heavenly Recordings  2022  The Orielles release their new album Tableau, a genuinely contemporary record which voyages far beyond the musical limits reached on their previous albums S. The album was self-produced in collaboration with Joel Anthony Patchett (King Krule, Tim Burgess). As well as the adoption of contemporary 21st century production, the Orielles used concepts from the world of art and minimalism in creating Tableau. Sidonie had researched the graphic scoring method of Pulitzer Prize nominated trumpeter and composer Wadada Leo Smith. They also utliised Oblique Strategies - the playing cards designed to aide creativity created by Brian Eno and artist Peter Schmidt in the early 1970s. “All through our whole career we’ve had to prove ourselves so, so much” explains Henry. “You can’t disconnect the age and the gender thing either” adds Esmé, “People belittle your age because they see women in the band. Whereas lad bands, if they’re eighteen it’s apparently exactly what people want to see.” Being from a small town in West Yorkshire may have added to that also, but Sidonie counters that “being from Halifax has also been a blessing, it’s kept our egos in check.” This song is breathtakingly lovely. I can even forgive the obvious autotuned vocals, an effect that usually drives me bonkers.      2:02:36 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Erregung Öffentlicher Erregung  Wo Soll Ich Hin   Favoriting Sonnenuntergang über den Ruinen von Klatsch  Euphoria  2017  Erregung Öffentlicher Erregung are a five-piece post-punk band from Berlin and Hamburg, Germany.

I drink until I cannot anymore, I drink, drink, drink Until I cannot drink anymore I run, until I cannot anymore, I run, run, run To the exit I dance, until I cannot anymore, I dance, dance, dance Until I cannot think anymore I kiss, until I cannot anymore, I kiss, kiss, kiss One another I, You, We, Where should I go?

The Metronomes  Saturday Night   Favoriting The Ballad Of The Metronomes  Mannequin  2010  The Metronomes first appeared in Melbourne in 1979, initial members were rock journo-synth player Al Webb, the bass player Andrew Picouleau (Secret Police, Sacred Cowboys) and the synth-pioneer Ash Wednesday, nowdays a live tour member of Einsturzende Neubauten. Al himself will admit later that Ash’s ingenuity in creating something out of very little was the key to the Metronomes sounding as ‘produced’ as they did. If their first 7’’ single “Saturday Night / Sunday Morning” came out in 1980, featuring a real metronome as rhythm section with instrumentals layered over, instead the second ‘A Circuit Like Me / Closed Circuit’ from 1980 is akin more to experimentation with drum machines, rhythm sections for both sides were recorded using a borrowed Roland CR 78. It was the first time in their compositions that a vocal had been used, courtesy of a lady called Talking Judy.      2:10:59 (MP3 | Pop-up)
The Uplifting Bell Ends  The Poison Moth Kingdom   Favoriting Super Giant  Dinosaur Records  2016  I will share an interview snippet with the unfortunately named band of people who seem very nice: TES: Who are The Uplifting Bell Ends? Frenchy: The Bell Ends are 5 readily available guys. TES: You’re from Sydney’s southern suburbs of “The Shire”. What do you love about the area and how has it influenced The Bell Ends? Frenchy: We used to really identify with the Sutherland Shire, feeling that it was our responsibility to represent The Shire as a place where creativity and culture is nurtured and encouraged. However, after 6 years of Bell Ends we have realised that The Shire is a cultural hole, supporting nothing but sport and the cashing in on happiness, again and again. The only way that The Shire has perhaps influenced our music is that it’s helped create a ticket OUT OF IT. I suppose that it might be through our artistic isolation that we have been able to develop our ‘original sound’ but we’d rather tell you that The Shire is great.      2:14:54 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Cocteau Twins  Pink Orange Red   Favoriting Tiny Dynamine  4AD  1985  Cocteau Twins were a Scottish rock band active from 1979 to 1997. They were formed in Grangemouth by Robin Guthrie (guitars, drum machine) and Will Heggie (bass), adding Elizabeth Fraser (vocals) in 1981. They are of course, pioneers of shoegaze and dreampop. Recorded initially to test the capabilities of their new studio, the band did not originally intend to release these songs to the general public, presumably explaining the decision to release the material on EPs, rather than as what would have been their fourth album. Many of the titles on the two EPs seem to have some link with Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths). Most are obscure, but the dynamine is a genus of nymphalid butterflies found in South America, the plain tiger is a common Asian butterfly and the lyrics to "Melonella" (on Echoes In A Shallow Bay) are simply a recounting of various Lepidopteric family names such as Hesperiidae and Papilionidae.      2:17:49 (MP3 | Pop-up)

"Jane Weaver has released a new single, 'Love In Constant Spectacle'. Marking her first new music since 2022's standalone single 'Oblique Fantasy', the new cut comes ahead of further new material from Weaver which will be released in 2024. //// In a statement about 'Love In Constant Spectacle', Weaver said: "It's about searching for joy, wanting to love and feel loved, then uncovering it in unusual places and in the smallest, hidden things in life. Magnified under rocks and stones, it explores connecting with nature and your surroundings as opposed to other people – focusing on autonomy, new beginnings and feeling bewitched." //// 'Love In Constant Spectacle' is out now on Fire Records." //////// #FireRecords - "Jane Weaver continues to enrapture and expand her legacy into 2024 with a freshly announced tour... and more new music imminently on Fire Records." https://janeweaver.lnk.to/LICSID /////// 2024 Tour Dates: 18 April: Brudenell Social Club, Leeds, UK 19 April: Trinity Centre, Bristol, UK 20 April: Arts Club, Liverpool, UK 21 April: Castle & Falcon , Birmingham, UK 23 April: Oran Mor, Glasgow, UK 24 April: The Glasshosue, Gateshead, UK 26 April: Band on the Wall, Manchester, UK 28 April: Rescue Rooms, Nottingham, UK 29 April: Junction, Cambridge, UK 30 April: Wedgewood Rooms , Portsmouth, UK 01 May: Concorde 2, Brighton, UK 02 May: Scala, London, UK 09 May: Whelan's, Dublin, Ireland 10 May: Róisín Dubh, Galway, Ireland 11 May: Dolans, Limerick, Ireland 12 May: Ulster Sports Bar, Belfast, UK"    *   2:31:17 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Orchestra  Bryan Ferry & Amelia Barratt   Favoriting Loose Talk  Dene Jesmond Records  2025  "Rock Legend Bryan Ferry on His New Artistic Collaboration: ‘I’m Always Trying to Expand Boundaries’ The Roxy Music frontman and the contemporary artist Amelia Barratt have co-created the new album "Loose Talk. //////// Music superstar Bryan Ferry has teamed up with Glasgow-based painter and performance artist Amelia Barratt to release Loose Talk, an album of spoken word vignettes, or micro-fictions, written and performed by Barratt and melded with a soundscape composed by Ferry. Sitting somewhere between music, poetry, and performance, the record, to be released March 28 (and now available for pre-order), puts us in Barratt’s shoes as she contemplates her life as an artist. Ferry’s music holds Barratt’s words, adding emotional and atmospheric dimensions to the stories she illustrates; he’s also created accompanying videos. /////// Ferry is a rock and roll icon for his groundbreaking work with the art rock band Roxy Music, which rose to fame in England in the 1970s. Formed out of the Newcastle University art department with Graham Simpson, the band cemented a place in music history by creating hits including “Do the Strand,” “Love is the Drug,” “Dance Away,” and “Avalon.” /////// The band was known for its album artwork that was steeped in high fashion references, with model-actress Jerry Hall appearing on the cover of their 1975 record Siren. Members of the band include the equally era-defining Brian Eno, who Ferry would collaborate with on latter-year projects including his solo records Boys and Girls (1985) and Bête Noire (1987). Ferry’s solo work ranges from covers of artists like Bob Dylan and John Lennon to hauntingly atmospheric pop music very much in keeping with Roxy Music’s legacy. /////// Barratt is no stranger to collaboration. Among her recent projects are spoken texts made in response to works by painters including Gabriella Boyd, Dickon Drury, Devlin Shea, and Guo-Liang Tan. In 2023, she published An Entertainment, a collaboration with artist Christian Flamm, on cassette tape. She’s also given readings worldwide, at venues from the Museum of London to the Esplanade performing arts center in Singapore. In 2022, she published the book Real Life, a collection of performance texts. She graduated from Glasgow School of Art and completed her master’s at London’s Slade School of Fine Art. /////// The results of their collaboration bear the hallmark of Ferry’s oeuvre, as we hear synth, strings, and guitars, but the music is looser than his typical output. Barratt’s clipped, classic English tones lead on voyages of discovery of the everyday; we observe a florist at work, we hear questionable advice given by a friend or colleague, and we hear her inner monologue, a stream of consciousness of her daily life and creative thoughts." Bryan Ferry and Amelia Barratt - Orchestra (Official Video)    *   2:36:03 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Brian Eno And The Words Of Rick Holland  Pour It Out (vocal by Laura Spagnuolo)   Favoriting Drums Between The Bells  Warp  2011  "Drums Between the Bells is the twenty-fourth solo studio album by Brian Eno, released on 4 July 2011 on Warp Records... The album is based on the words of poet Rick Holland. "Glitch" was released in advance of the album, through Eno's mailing list in April 2011. //// As well as Eno and Holland, the album features the voices of Grazyna Goworek, Caroline Wildi, Laura Spagnuolo, Elisha Mudly Aylie Cooke, Nick Robertson, and Anastasia Afonina. The album's design and art direction was credited to Nick Robertson, and its imagery to Eno & Robertson. //// Brian Eno met Rick Holland in the late 1990s, through the collaborative 'Map-Making' project. After creating their first music together in 2003, they met infrequently to work on new compositions. Following the release of Eno's Small Craft on a Milk Sea in 2010, the pair decided to complete their project. Drums Between the Bells is the result of their meetings (although their 2003 work does not appear on this album). //// All compositions by Brian Eno, with poems written by Rick Holland."      2:38:44 (MP3 | Pop-up)
The Chills  Meet My Eyes   Favoriting Spring Board: The Early Unrecorded Songs  Fire Records  2025  The Chills were from Dunedin, New Zealand... "Martin John James Phillipps (2 July 1963 – 28 July 2024) was a New Zealand singer-songwriter and musician. He was the lead singer and rhythm guitarist for The Chills. As part of the Dunedin sound, Phillipps and the Chills helped lay the groundwork for modern indie rock, and the band's innovative approach to alternative rock and lo-fi formed his legacy. After he died suddenly in 2024, Split Enz and Crowded House frontman Neil Finn said Phillipps was a "true original, fascinated by and devoted to the magic and mystery of music"." /////////////// ‘Spring Board: The Early Unrecorded Songs’ is a Martin Phillipps passion project. A dedicated reimagining of his earlier unreleased songs that became his artistic farewell, a lasting legacy, and a reminder of his huge, underappreciated talent. The album has been finalised for release with the love and support of his band, family and friends.  //// As the subject of an undulating life and times movie – The Chills: The Triumph And Tragedy Of Martin Phillipps – Chills’ singer, songwriter and main motivator, Martin Phillipps spent the last decade releasing studio and live albums while careering into his sixtieth year with typical gusto. //// Amid such momentum, Martin was stilling digging through old tapes, searching for the foundations that resulted in global rapture in 1987, an overnight success that took a mere seven years to ignite. These early songs and musings were revisited, revised and finally put to record. As such, ‘Spring Board’ is the final chapter of The Chills, immeasurably significant output.  //// ‘Spring Board: The Early Unrecorded Songs’ is alarming, personal, brittle and at times hopelessly upbeat. This is a man casting his mind back on an esoteric career that led to nothing short of cult status; someone rediscovering his roots, his innermost thoughts, hopes and fears. //// The Chills are Martin Phillipps, Oli Wilson, Erica Scally and Callum Hampton, Todd Knudson. ‘Spring Board’ features contributions from Fur Patrol’s Julia Deans, Elroy Finn and Split Enz, Crowded House alumni Neil Finn, Tiny Ruins’ Hollie Fullbrook, Manics producer Greg Haver, Troy Kingi, Shona Laing, Tami Neilson, Dianne Swann (Everything That Flies) and Purple Pilgrims’ Clementine Valentine." https://thechillsmusic.bandcamp.com/    *   2:42:17 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Moon Goose  Cloud Of Eyeballs   Favoriting Murmurations  Fruits de Mer / Inflatable Tarmac Records  2024  "Murmurations describe a natural phenomenon in which a large group of starlings fly in unison using complex laws of movement depending on the relative birds around each individual. This behaviour can be observed on land in herds and under the sea in schools of fish. They are the natural answer of the collective facing a common danger. What seems to be engineered by the mind of one leader is actually generated by every individual's awareness of the group, working together towards their collective fate. There must be a lesson there. Moon Geese (mean geese) murmurations are very rare because there aren't any predators on the Moon except for a few quickly gone humans and a couple multilingual slow bots on wheels. //// Murmurations is Moon Goose’s fourth LP, recorded and mixed at Twin Peaks Studio, Wales, by Adam Fuest (Mott the Hoople, Babyshambles, The Cure) and published by Fruits de Mer Records and Inflatable Tarmac Records. //// The eight tracks featured in Murmurations were whispered by the Barn to the band on dark, icy nights, disturbing the quietness of the Welsh countryside with unrestricted turmoil. //// Moon Goose put Space, Psych, Prog, and Motorik in a bag, shook it, poked it, and burned it, then spread the ashes from the top of the Welsh Mountains with the wind in their faces until their eyes were crying black tears." //////// Released January 27, 2024 // Written and performed by Moon Goose // Murmurations was recorded, Produced and mastered by Adam Fuest at Twin Peaks Studio, Llandrindod Wells, Wales." https://moongoosecult.bandcamp.com/album/murmurations      2:46:43 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Blue Orchids  Mad As The Mist And Snow   Favoriting The Greatest Hit (Money Mountain) [Expanded Version]  Tiny Global Productions  1982 / 2024  The offending track that kept this track from being reissued (until the rights to the track became public domain), from a 2024 Deluxe Reissue. The story: "Never reissued on vinyl since its 1982 release, due to objections from the WB Yeats estate for the album's musical interpretation of the author's "Mad As The Mist And Snow" (now in public domain!), this deluxe edition includes a bonus album with two unreleased pre-album demos, two further demos released only on long out-of-print cassette compilations from more than forty years ago, and scorching live set featuring several of their early songs, extensive liner notes from Martin Bramah and Una Baines, a reproduction of the original lyric fold-over booklet and (with the 2LP version), a download card. The original artwork for the album and booklet have been restored painstakingly, and as Bramah himself says, "It's better than the original."" https://blueorchids.bandcamp.com/      2:51:23 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds  Song Of The Lake   Favoriting Wild God  Bad Seed Ltd. / Play It Again Sam  2024  "Across ten tracks on Wild God, the band dance between convention and experimentation, taking left-turns and detours that heighten the rich imagery and emotion in Cave’s soul-stirring narratives. It is the sound of a group emboldened by reconnection and taking flight. There are moments that touch fondly upon the Bad Seeds’ past but they are fleeting, and serve only to imbue the relentless and restless forward motion of the band. //// Produced by Cave and Warren Ellis, and mixed by David Fridmann, Cave began writing the album on New Year’s Day 2023. With sessions at Miraval in Provence and Soundtree in London, the Bad Seeds added their unique alchemy, with additional performances from Colin Greenwood (bass) and Luis Almau (nylon string guitar, acoustic guitar). //// “Wild God…there’s no fucking around with this record. When it hits, it hits. It lifts you. It moves you. I love that about it.” Nick Cave""    *   2:55:27 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Pram  Play Of The Waves   Favoriting The Museum Of Imaginary Animals  Domino Records  2000  "Pram are an English post-rock band formed in Birmingham in 1988 by singer-keyboardist Rosie Cuckston, guitarist Matt Eaton, drummer Andy Weir and bassist Samantha Owen. //////// Subsequent lineups have changed frequently, most notably with Cuckston's departure in 2008. Their electronic pop sound, described by AllMusic as "equally quaint and unsettling," employs unconventional instruments and draws on stylistic influences such as krautrock, exotica, and dub. //////// The group signed to Too Pure Records in 1993, where they released their debut LP The Stars Are So Big, The Earth Is So Small... Stay as You Are. They later signed to Domino. Following the 2007 album The Moving Frontier, they took a lengthy hiatus, returning in 2018 with Across the Meridian."      2:59:00 (MP3 | Pop-up)
