Track: Tan Cologne make a welcome return with shimmering and evocative new track ‘Topaz Wave’ and news of new album through Labrador Records.
It’s been a while since the stunning New Mexican duo Tan Cologne released the brilliance of their debut album ‘Cave Vaults on the Moon in New Mexico’ back in 2020.

Album Review: Psychedelic Porn Crumpets release the fluid brilliance of ‘Night Gnomes’
I had the pleasure of witnessing Psychedelic Porn Crumpets turn a sold-out Factory Theatre to pure liquid chaos the night before this album was released. Playing songs old and new, it was celebratory for the occasion. ‘Night Gnomes’ came out fittingly at midnight, lurking in the quiet darkness, waiting for the prime listeners to play …
Live Review: Anna Meredith and the LCO – Barbican, London 30.4.22
Anna Meredith’s electronic pop music has always been orchestral in scale, layered, interconnected, harmonically complex and structured like a tight stack of circuit boards, wired for glorious sound. So the notion of performing her Mercury Award nominated second album FIBS with the London Contemporary Orchestra seemed more than a natural step to take, a drift …
