Live Review: Darkwave alt-pop sensation – Artemas at the O2 Forum Kentish Town 11.11.24
I principally believe we are living in a post “one-hit-wonder” era where pop music is concerned, mostly owing to the space the online world has given artists. You can have an artist, completely devoid of songs you recognise, be unfathomably popular in a way you could never have realised. In this vein, I was invited …

Third Man Records’ Blue Basement simulates what it would be like if you crossed a TED-talk stage with a laserquest. There’s a big yellow Smeg fridge with the word Literarium printed on it that spits out coffee-table paperbacks if you slot magic tokens near a hole labelled: ‘Try a Lucky Dip!’. It’s compact but mercifully …
