If you were quick enough to get your hands on a copy of 2010’s ultra-rare Para Vista Social Club LP from Melbourne band Scott & Charlene’s Wedding , you’ll know what a compelling and underrated album of scuzzy, exploratory guitar pop it is; an amalgam of the noisy, transcendent riffing of bands like The Clean and The Velvet Underground with lyrics about everyday struggles, like the dubious joys of public transport. Those who missed out are now in luck as it’s just been reissued by Bedroom Suck Records, in tandem with some live dates by the band and the release of a brand new record, a split-LP shared with Peak Twins. I spoke to songwriter and frontman ...

Andrew Kötting's sui generis family portrait is out on DVD next week. Keira Brown takes a look

He's creepy and he's kooky, mysterious and Spoek-y — and he's altogether the most ambitious and experimental young pop musician to emerge from anywhere in Africa in recent memory. With a bottomless array of astounding vinyl reissues from the 1970s and '80s constantly bubbling into our ever-expanding download folders, we rarely stumble across great African pop that sounds uncompromisingly now in all its overdetermined complexity. Spoek Mathambo (né Nthato Mokgata) fills that need. While his 2010 solo debut Mshini Wam (translated as Bring Me My Machine Gun ) was promising in a guided-by-M.I.A. kind of way, Father ...

The lights kept flickering on and off while the PA system continued to work. The crowd went nuts and the performers seemed to dig it. Jerry Paper was first up. The crowd was rooting for him and he crafted his echoing sounds with intensity. At times he looked disturbed by his own dreams. I liked it. Tonstartssbandht jammed out some psych rock tunes, reminiscent at times to Silver Apples and Black Sabbath. The crowd was into it and they generously gave that same energy back. By the time A...
