Interview: tAngerinecAt
Meet UK/Ukrainian duo tAngerinecAt. Multi-instrumentalists Paul Chilton and Eugene Purpurovsky have just released their new single Something Broke Inside, and it is quite impossible to pigeonhole. Their music is a super eclectic and hard to pinpoint mixture of electro synth pop, noise, psych, ritualistic folk and much more. Don’t you dare call it “random”though, because …

Instrumental double feature: Kombynat Robotron vs. Shem
I have a deep respect for improvisational artists. Mostly because I know by experience how hard it is to shut down the perfectionism and to just let “the moment” be. For many people -like me- it is just simply impossible to give up control, and therefore it is quite rare to find artists living by …

Label Report: Histamine Tapes
There are so many labels out there, and a lot of them are the same. It’s hardly the case that a label in its set up is more interesting than its bands, but Histamine Tapes actually tickled my fancy quite a bit! A strong aesthetic, a roster consisting of otherworldly sounds, and of course the …

Trieste- The Black Squall (2021 self-released)
I am in my room at my table. My glass of Laphroaig is steadily growing emptier on my left hand, while I use my right hand to press play. The Black Squall by Dallas, Texas instrumental duo Trieste comes on, and immediately my thoughts drift away… Dying Star Blues immediately brings forward a Cormac McCarthy …

Dust Moth- Rising//Sailing (2021 A Thousand Arms)
When I looked up what a dust moth was, I could not find an insect by that name. I did find a certain feature of moths that makes it seem like their wings are covered in dust, while in fact they are covered in tiny scales that determine their color and even their flying power. …

Mainliner- Dual Myths (2021 Riot Season Records)
Ladies and gentlemen, I present you: Mainliner: three Japanese psych wizards with an urgency to freaking destroy eardrums around the globe. Seriously though, this band should come with a huge disclaimer because wherever they turn up tinnitus will spread and crystal goblets will shatter. They are loud, but not just for loudness sake. They are …

James Johnston/Steve Gullick- We Travel Time (2021 God Unkown Records)
As I write this the thaw is just washing away a brief spell of icy winter, which if you live in The Netherlands means good times, and lots of iceskating. It’s raining now though, and the water washes away the good memories quickly, making place for that uncertain no man’s land between winter cold and …

Holy Monitor- Southern Lights (2021 Blackspin/Primitive Music)
When I first encountered Holy Monitor through their self-titled first album in 2018 I was absolutely blown away. This is music made by shaman aliens: super spacey, intoxicating, and somehow…danceable? There are innumerable injustices in this world, but the fact that this Greek band did not tour the world or at least gain a small …

Los Mundos- La Fortaleza Del Sonido (2021 L.S.D.R)
Music can have many purposes. There are musicians that offer consolation, raw energy, or pure unadulterated escapism. Los Mundos definitely fit that last category, as their latest output La Fortaleza Del Sonido is a portal into a freaky other dimension… It’s a dimension in which the people speak Spanish and the music is dense, psychedelic, …

Møster!- Dust Breathing (2020 Hubro Music)
Sometimes an album is just so good, it makes you feel intimidated to write about. Like your insignificant, random choice of words will ever do it justice or even mean anything to it or its potential audience. Especially when the music is instrumental: words are already less meaningful to begin with! Møster!’s Dust Breathing is …
