Videos, live performances, documentaries. Moving pictures. Talkies.
This was kinda going to be a holiday post but the holidays got busy, as they do, and I didn’t get around to it in time. But considering that the song – despite a certain bit of window dressing – is not a holiday song, that’s probably okay. “Red Over White” was a Siouxsie & […]
Irish noisegazers Just Mustard returned with their third album WE WERE JUST HERE a couple months ago, but are saving their full-throttle promotional activities for 2026 – they’ll be covering Europe, the UK, and North America over the course of two months next Spring. The North American leg kicks off in Seattle in May, and […]
The trope of multi-instrumentalist dude and ghostly-voiced girl is a familiar one in dreampop – some might want to use the word cliche – but there’s a reason it persists; when it hits, it hits just right. Slow Salvation score pretty high on both precision and accuracy, with Nashville’s Travis Trevisan (formerly of Tape Deck Mountain) […]
Somehow lost in the rollout of Hatchie’s third album Liquorice last month was that, following what had been a pretty conventional rollout of singles/videos leading up the record’s street date – “Lose It Again” in September, “Only One Laughing” in October – there was a big ol’ video dump on release day, consisting of an […]
Tokyo dreampoppers Moon In June have rightly been spending this year promoting their second album 色彩を持たないで, which came out back in April, so it was a bit of a surprise to see them promoting the release on a new 7″ single that came out last week that is, in fact, anything but new. Put out […]
There’s never a bad time to revisit The Sound but a recent feature piece in Uncut is the reasoning for my current listening session. Using the recent uptick in interest in the late Adrian Borland’s outfit – specifically the 2016 documentary Walking In The Opposite Direction, the 2023 biography Destiny Stopped Screaming: The Life and […]
There’s been no shortage of Kurayamisaka love hereabouts – so much so that I’m just about out of fresh content to post about them – but considering that NME has made good on their hyping of the band early on in the year with a feature English-language interview, I’d dig up a little bit more […]
The only reason that New York’s Miss Grit – aka Margaret Sohn – hasn’t appeared in these pages yet despite listening to her for a few years now is that I wasn’t sure if what she was doing fit within the vaguely specific remit of this blog. It’s got thumping drum beats, squelching synths, fuzzed-out […]
We’ve got us another teaser of Whitelands‘ second album Sunlight Echoes ahead of its official release on January 30 of the new year. That makes this the third preview song, if we’re keeping track. Of the soaring, string-laden “Songbird (Forever)”, singer Etienne Quartey-Papafio says: It’s about my friends, the important people in my life, and […]
One eight-year hiatus aside, Ladytron have been pretty reliable over the past 25 years for releasing collections of sleek-yet-gritty electronic music that’s elevated by their affection for old school analog tech and two elite frontwomen in Helen Marnie and Mira Aroyo. The band has been busy with a long-overdue reissue series (Light & Magic and […]
