Magazine Sixty Music Review with Momoko & Herbert
Greg Fenton reviews Momoko & Herbert – Clay – Strut Records/ Accidental I was surprised when I listened to the new album from Momoko & Herbert—surprised because hearing a relative masterpiece seems like an increasingly rare proposition these days, like a lost ghost from yesterday’s memory.

Magazine Sixty Music Review with Eskape
Greg Fenton reviews Eskape – Horizons/Void – Just Movement Horizons is about movement and the space in between rhythm as it gleefully dances around instrumental edges, yet sounds full of lyricism.

Magazine Sixty Music Review with The Light Brigade
Greg Fenton reviews The Light Brigade – Shuffle The Deck – Mystic Arts Mystic Arts has consistently defined quality alongside musical provocation in each of its three releases to date, and promising to tempt the impossible, David Holmes has co-created two equally vigorous pieces of music for number 003. The title track sequences warm rushes…

Magazine Sixty Music Review with Acid Nab
Greg Fenton reviews Acid Nab – Might Go Out – The Freebooter Lounge Might Go Out is packed full of so many hooks that it stings in an abundance of shining, tempting, rhythmic shuffling between the breezy light of day and the temptation of after-dark. The vocal is almost secondary, forming a layer rather than…
