Burial Grid – Waves of Quietus
Is feeling uneasy more comfortable these days. A more relevant place to inhabit. Like surroundings befitting the everyday news and parade of uncertainties. Burial Grid’s tales of intrigue and mystery set fire to the synapsis like dreams coming true, albeit they may be disturbing, unquiet experiences to relive. Then again I very much like the…

A Mountain of One – Ricardo Villalobos reimagines: Stars Planets Dust Me – Vicious Charm Recordings
Listening back to this album from the dawn of summer 2022 feels like the antidote to the murky grey gathering outside as autumn asserts its cold presence. Full of life affirming sounds and songs singing praises most notably on the piano coloured melodies of Black Apple Pink Apple and in particular the cool illumination of…

Christine Ott – Éclats (Piano Works) – Gizeh Records
The majesty revealed in listening to Christine Ott play the piano is a reward in itself. Capturing moments of heavenly beauty and deep loss are readily translated in a series of tell-tale signs pointing to the direction of lost and found. Perhaps it is only the sound of the piano which can really convey the…

boycalledcrow – //M E L O D Y_M A N – Waxing Crescent Records
A boycalledcrow returns. Not to green, pastoral pastures of traditional folklore but to nervous, uneasy terrain that never quite settles. Like a story broken apart to reveal fragments or suggestions of composition you enter a strange world, though none the less a wonderfully exhilarating one in which you discover new process. It’s almost hard to…

Moses Yoofee Trio – Ocean – LEITER
Ocean is a treasure of an album. Populated by the calibre of musicianship that people dream of but more than that, and more importantly, the music communicated speaks directly to your soul. Beautifully realised, executed with an abundance of flair, panache and some of the coolest playing around I’m quietly relieved that this sounds just…

Filippo Vicario – Resurgam E.P – Release LDN
If music is a cultural provocateur, an agent for change, then Filippo Vicario’s brilliant new release for Release LDN is as electrifying as it is radical. Poke, begins via a series of sensory charges igniting the senses as raw, pounding drums gather pace alongside a compelling and edgy array of fierce keyboard sounds, accompanied by…

Posta De Sol Season One – NuNorthern Soul
In a sense you almost expect music like this like, that is to say of such beautiful life-affirming elegance, to accompany sunshine rays beamed down rapidly from heaven up there. Consquently acting as a foil to the Autumn grey outside while bringing the gift of light to the day Posta De Sol provides a most…

WEB WEB x MAX HERRE – WEB MAX II – Compost Records
On a day like today, as clouds drift seamlessly by revealing sky blue heights charged with a blast of warm, autumnal sun, it’s easy to let this music flow through your veins exciting a thirst for life and an appreciation of nature as it surrounds you in such glory. Jazz as I’ve said endlessly is…

Andrew Heath – Scapa Flow
Located at the north-eastern edge of Scotland, around the Orkney Islands, the body of water called Scapa Flow is full of history, playing host to shipwrecks, Vikings and an oil terminal. So you can see why Andrew Heath’s imagination was sparked by the place and how that turbulent past has been translated into the ebb…
