ALBUM REVIEW: Mary Lattimore – ‘Silver Ladders’: contemplative and elemental harp exploration
Silver Ladders speaks of an open correspondence with place, with dialogue, with the elements. It’s happy to embrace the darker side of being. As such, maybe it’s a departure from the pristine shimmer of Hundreds Of Days; but it will provide incredibly rewarding autumnal exploration.

VHS tapes, woozy sci fi, and latchkey afternoons …

Com Truise, aka Seth Haley, has released a new single ‘Ultrafiche of You’, taken from his mini-album ‘Persuasion System’, which is out now on Ghostly International.

Album Review : Com Truise ‘Iteration’
Yeah, I know that name annoys some people. It doesn’t me, but I get it. Seth Haley’s musical project Com Truise has been making retro-futuristic electronic music since the release of 2011s Galactic Melt.

Track: Beacon – Bring You Back, plus album news
I hate that word you hear people use sometimes ‘chill-ax’. What need is there, ever, to put two words together that essentially mean the same thing. I’m quite prepared to chill-out at any given chance, or indeed relax. Or do one of them and describe it as the other. That’s the kind of live for …
