Album Review: Joni Void – Every Life Is A Light : The Montreal sound artist delivers a new experimental-pop touchstone.
Pinning, hash-tagging, mood-boarding, even crisply describing Joni Void’s music gets no easier. Maybe the role Void plays is as a post post-sampling, cut & paste collagist or re-imaginer of the already re-imagined?

Album Review: Various Artists – Krautrock Eruption: An Introduction to German Electronic Music 1970-1980
The very idea of an introductory Krautrock compilation is a tricky one. As the liner notes themselves acknowledge, the genre (if you can even call it that) has been sliced, debated, and redefined in countless ways over the years, with the likes of Julian Cope’s Krautrocksampler and Crack in the Cosmic Egg both mythologizing and …
