Cardiff post-rock outfit False Hope For The Savage released their debut self titled album back in August, but with the physical release now out, we took the opportunity to take a closer look (and listen) to the album that has set tongues wagging. Containing seven songs written, rehearsed and refined between 2017 and 2020, when …

In the shimmers of the recent loss of Os Mutantes founder Rita Lee that follows Gal Costa’s passing last year it’s poignant to get a reminder that music doused with tropicalia is most definitely out there and still determined to make those bigger splashes. Enter the inestimable Hive Mind Records latest release, Muito Sol, a …

OK, look: we’re well aware a 21-minute slow-building ambient piece is a hard sell if you’re not specifically into that kind of thing, but LARAAJI and KRAMER have made some undeniably beautiful music in their own separate projects so it stands to reason they’d hit the jackpot when working together. Which is what they’re doing …

Barely a year since they released their debut LP, Don’t Think You Can Escape Your Purpose, Canadian trio Yoo Doo Right are back with their second album, on which their towering, politically charged experimental rock soars to new heights. Trailed by two singles earlier in the year – one of them a whopping 17 minutes …

The album was hard, fast, and unsubtle, made for rip-roaring countryside driving music, and …

ZURICH’S fine post-rockers HOLM have taken an unusual, calendrical approach to their forthcoming album, In Gardens; they’ve been revealing it at the steady rate of a track a month over the past year, with that project reaching completion with a final track in mid-January. Which means, of course, that we’re but one track away from …

WITH their album Burials having been in out in the world a while now and receiving deserved praise for its exploratory shifts out of the genre from all quarters – we noted it as being “Way beyond folk and folk in essence all at once” (and you can read our full review here), Cambridge’s wyrd-folk …

Out today via Birds Robe is ‘Four’, the new album from Australian math-rock/post-rock band Seims. The brainchild essentially of Simeon Bartholomew, the band have become evermore experimental and formidable over the course of their career, with recent albums ‘3’ and ‘3.1’ being lauded over internet land and beyond. Upon the release of ‘Four’, we spoke …

WITH a months-long concept of dropping one single track every month on the pilgrimage towards their 2022 album, Swiss post-rock trio HOLM have followed up the cinematic and metronomic wash of May’s “Our Days And Years” with a second station of the cross for you to sonically supplicate before, “Flickering Leaves”, which we’ve got right …
