Quite reasonably described in recent reviews as “acoustic death metal” and “too weird for folkies, too folky for weirdos”, it would be hard to identify any album from the sixties/seventies cusp that was more wilfully intended to alienate the mainstream record-buying public than this totally unique progressive folk effort by Comus. First Utterance was, and [...]

by Adam Strohm The Velvet Underground was always ahead of its time, even in 1992. The seminal quartet's short-lived reunion and tour presaged by more than a decade the current deluge of reunited bands. Whether it's nostalgia or simply the power of suggestion, it seems that no band is resistant to the temptation... Read More

16th June - The Croft, Bristol A Sri Lankan fundraiser with lots of mystery bands... most were of the folksy persuasion which we checked out briefly... A few tasty diversions were had, but the main room seemed to be where it was at... and after the 'Felt' like chords of a solo McDowell (who I must say, singlehandedly captivated us with his guitar mastery) the Dogface Sockets dark cabaret of words and jarring shapes seriously stole our attention ... Hilariously too! … The guitars spiky, whizzing to differing angles, Mini’s drumming gleefully kinetic, stumbling around that spurring guitar and vocal delivery as ...

American mavericks Midlake are set to tackle the latest instalment of Late Night Tales. Midlake don't tend to rush things. The band took six years to make just one album, gradually sifting through material until they felt that they had the right songs. 'The Courage Of Others' was released last year to overwhelmingly positive reviews. Formed in Texas, Midlake are loosely tagged as Americana but in reality their music boasts a massive range of influences. The band are set to show off a few of the most esoteric elements of their record collection by curating a 'Late Night Tales ...

'I’m in a wheelchair, I have muscular dystrophy... and I'm a lead singer, singing apocalyptic improvisation lyrics' barks Danny Cruz the self professed leader behind the Flaming Dragons of Middle Earth ... He comes across like Tiny Tim’s aggressive twin, while his collection of non musicians throw out some suitably off key harmonics around him, like an audio equivalent to the wicked crayoned artwork that houses this baby. This freeform rabble is not to everybody's taste… his 'off the cuff', 'in your face' jabbering takes some getting used to... sounding not unlike Zed from Police Academy ... And ...

Je moet er even voor gaan zitten om het ruim 600 bladzijden tellende boek van Rob Yound over visionaire Britse (folk)muziek tot je te nemen. Maar dan heb je wel een mooi overzicht gekregen van eigenzinnige muzikanten, componisten en liedjesverzamelaars die gemeen hebben dat zij op zoek zijn naar een alternatief Engeland dat soms romatische en soms mystieke of heidense trekken heeft. Een verloren Engeland dat voortleeft in oude (folk)songs of in andere muzikale sferen, die zowel mooier als grimmiger kunnen zijn dan de werkelijkheid. Het is voor mij als niet-Engelsman niet altijd even goed te volgen, maar ...

My Top 11 favourite new genres for Christmas 2010: Gurgle-fi - The sound of an R&B; compilation drowning; water filling up the crevices between the road and the Hummer; the slowed-down, slur of a waterboarded Usher, kept by the Moonies... Ratchet (sometimes Asp, or Asperger's)- wiry, three-step, instrumental techno with a massive filtered sidesweep of massed Cdskip choirs and a 'Parmegianian' rhythmic reluctance. True Ratchet should begin with EQ'd mumblings and end with the Tin Man falling down concrete stairs. urlingPop - the small 'u' is crucial. Otherwise, pop. Faunrock - aggressive panpipes, a re-imagined Comus. Faunrock is normally acoustic, with ...

Aquarius Records Writes: “What has to be our favorite British pagan folk psychedelic prog rock album ever (in other words, quite possibly our favorite album ever, period!) is finally available again on cd, and in a gorgeous Japanese mini-lp gatefold sleeve to boot, with the disc itself all state-of-the-art remastered, sounding great. THIS RECORD SCARES US. Hearing [...]

Found this album via the cosmic/kosmichings at the brilliant Tonton Mahood - here , in fact - and it's been on a light rotation ever since. Pretty, occasionally threatening, odd combinations of firethrottled acoustic guitar and pan-pipes. Comus is perhaps as good a reference point as any; the deity and the band. I hear that bar/club from Fire Walk With Me during Tante Olga and the whispering nasties from Current 93 in Nearby Shiras... there's morsels all over this album, tasty bits of meat, plucked from teeth... Ritualistic and Golden. Thrown from shadows. Gongs and bongs. Trust me, if ...
