A strangely absorbing listen if you just want to drop out of the rat race for an hour and chill the fuck out.

When you listen or watch their performance from start to finish, you are rooting for them as they bring the house down, and giving the festival a brutal awakening like you’ve never seen before.

You can call ‘Adonis’ mood music, or any other name, but the key adjective here would be excellent.

Picking up from the late 90s but still sounding vital and current.

An EP that is the soundtrack of the winter of our discontent when it hits us unexpectedly.

Here’s yet another remarkable collection of moving soundscapes that says so much without words.

There is absolutely nothing here which is going to break the mould but on this showing who cares. It’s a classic throwback to the days of classic rock radio.

The duo’s soundscape is a walk to the unknown with unexpected twists and turns that has given us a chance to cross our fingers for the third volume of the Rothko Spaces project.

Proper doom needs proper melancholy. Old Horn Tooth get it.

For those of you yearning for a bit of heavy blues space rock then there is much to enjoy here.

With The Grand Scheme Of Things, Sugar Horse continue to sound peerless and it’s another majestic release in a growing catalogue of perfection.

His Name Is Alive’s trademark blend of grunge and gauze, darkness and shimmering light, is just as extraordinary the second time around.

Living & Alive is an album that’ll be played for a long, long time. Subversive, wonder, it’s all there to reveal something magical that is waiting for you.

It can take you back to a time where everything was peaceful, relaxed, and calm. There’s a sense of looking through the struggle of surviving during those hectic times where everything was in black & white.

Even in the realms of extreme metal, Ulcerate are producing something genuinely original and moving. This will probably be my favourite album of 2024.

YAI intricately combine all their influences and musical elements here, process it (that is where those laptops come in), and turn it into music that makes sense, with or without the laptop.

If you’re very new to the world of David Arkenstone’s music, then this album is a starter to be a part of the mythology that’s waiting for you.

A dark, majestic album full of beautifully raging lyrics.

The key feel of this early recording is the sense of timelessness it brings – it might have been recorded in the early eighties but it sounds like it could have been done so 10 years ago, yesterday, or on September 27, 2024.

To Sleep on Stellar Winds is the album that’ll speak for itself for its cosmic voyage that you have you ready to conquer the stars.

A night floor filler that lurches around the hall, arms raised, wild happy drunk from this stone faced weirdo party band.
