Someone’s gotta be the bad guy and with Bad Guys calling it quits and with the world collapsing we probably need Evil Blizzard more than ever right now.
Bad Guys will live on inside everyone one of us in their music and this final memento contains some of their finest offerings to date.
Stained Glass is a stellar ambient-electronica album traversing post-rock and experimental elements to successfully create atmosphere and relaxation.
This will go down as one of my favourite gigs ever and it’s my top contender for performance of the year so far.

Colossal Squid is how one percussionist made an album of mostly drumming into something beautiful and fucked up, just like its namesake.
Greaves and cohort took the gold, their detractors very much got bronze. This album is as much about those people as it is a bold statement of how great the band is now all that shit is over.
“The more collaboration the better: sharing and learning from the processes and techniques of other artists using different mediums is critical.”
Monument Builders rides the synth wave to deliver a unique and cohesive post-ambient album that should feature in many album of the year lists.
Sex Swing don’t fuck around, this is an assured debut from a group of well-seasoned musical veterans who clearly have a stranglehold on this vital branch of music.
A powerful ambient collection plunging into the heart of darkness and returning some of the bleakest sounds I’ve ever heard which in 2016 is especially impressive but also apt.
