Review: Parrot Dream – Woven

Parrot Dream

I’ve always been intrigued by the process of coming up with a band name. Recently I’ve come across acts titled Turkish Delight (tasty), Captain Handsome, Unqualified Nurse Band, and Pet Crow. Then there’s Brooklyn-based, dream pop idols Parrot Dream. Parrot Dream?!? Amazing. Do Parrot’s dream? Probably about being ten foot and attacking people. I used […]

Review: Erin Durant – Islands

This record is a graceful step forward from Durant’s first self-recorded album, Blueberry Mountain (2016). Whilst still incorporating soothing stripped down arrangements; it […]

Review: Wet Mut & Squitch – Split EP

Squitch

Let me begin with a warning. If you are a bad kisser, you should probably just avoid this album altogether.

Review: All You Know Is Hell – Gape

All You Know Is Hell

I shut my eyes and take one more step. The darkness consumes me, swallowing me whole, dragging me deep under the sheet of the unknown. I reach out in my mind, desperate for the familiar to take hold. Instead, I’m greeted by a cacophony of crushing, pulverising, mesmerising, industrial sludge. And it’s a wonderful feeling. […]

Song Of The Day: Erin Durant – Islands

Erin Durant

Music is an incredible thing. Listening to a song can evoke so many different emotions, feelings, can pull forward certain memories and even transport you to different places. I remember when my dad first introduced me to Guns N’ Roses. Ten-year-old me couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Although they aren’t to my taste nowadays, […]
