With the long nights and dull days sneaking closer we’re all in need of some transportation and Brighton’s Wax Machine are once more here to deliver. This is a band guaranteed to lift you beyond the day to day, maybe somewhere cosmic, maybe somewhere exotic or maybe deeper down within yourself. Revolving around the restless …

Techno doom, electro metal, dub psych, industrial prog, prog techno, doom psych, metal dub, doom prog disco…Teeth Of The Sea have been sending the genre-makers scrabbling at their combinations for a decade plus now. One reviewer once got so desperate to describe the band as ‘android kestrels’ …you know that sound? What’s more important is …

Seoul based, Pan Asian new-age troubadours TENGGER gloriously float around the edges of the music world, beyond the usual concepts, processes and mechanics. Musical couple Itta and Marqido first performed as the duo ‘10’ but with the birth of their son RAAI in 2012 they became TENGGER. Meaning ‘unlimited expanse of sky’ in Mongolian the …

This song gets a lot done in just over two-and-a-half minutes, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself going right back for a second listen.

We didn’t hear much from them last year, certainly not in the form of new music, but Vol. 1 implied the existence of a Vol. 2, so it …

Up and coming five piece indie rockers, South Summit have announced a 10 date national tour on the back of their recent sophomore EP release, ‘Creatures’, the follow-up to 2021’s debut EP, Merlin’s.

Womad used to run the strapline ‘bringing you the best music you’ve never heard’. Well the sonic explorers at Hive Mind Records are working on their own version of the same mission. Theirs is an internationalist mindset, navigating the rich expanse of contemporary global music and sharing the work of forward thinkers with a similar …

It is time to slip on your go-go swamp boots for Shaker, the electrifying lead track from The Silversound’s imminent debut album. Erupting like an overdriven lava lamp at the hyperventilating end of a blossoming psychedelic trip, Shaker is an ecstatic top-down monster truck groove with fast funk propulsion and a soul-tinted female chorus that wraps your head in silk and …

I am a relatively recent convert to some of the “desert rock/desert blues” that has come to notice in increasing amounts in Western countries over the past 5 years or so. Bands such as Songhoy Blues, Tinariwen and Mdou Moctar along with Ali Farka Touré and son Vieux Farka Touré come to mind. Given that, …
