Magazine Sixty Music Review with Richard Seeley
Greg Fenton reviews Richard Seeley – Seeza Project No 4 – Glue Music Opening with the distinctly fabulous Do You Want Acid, Richard Seeley’s deeply thunderous inquiry resonates with dark beauty and the cool art of persuasion.

Magazine Sixty Music Review with Emma Clair
Greg Fenton reviews Emma Clair – Sanctuary – Adesso Music I like records that say something, and Sanctuary talks up the freedom of sound and the power of dance, loud and proud.

Magazine Sixty Music Review with Darren Morris
Greg Fenton reviews Darren Morris – Selotape, Organ & Wurlytubes – Ramrock Noir Records It occurred to me that sometimes, with an open window, a passing roar from an unseen truck moving from right to left can be more sonically exciting than the drone of a lot of ambient music. At least it is more…

Magazine Sixty Music Review with Peter Gall
Greg Fenton reviews Peter Gall – Glow – Compost Records Feeding the mind with revolutionary rhythm can be equal parts exciting, edgy, and reinvigorating. Announcing the forthcoming album Drum Sheds, this fiery amalgam of jazzy percussion, grainy electronics, and musical flourishes feels in constant forward motion, balancing grit with soul as it soaks up an…
