(((O))) REVIEWS

Onségen Ensemble – A Tale

These are stories where consequences linger, where revenge schemes twist into moral reckoning, and where every shadow feels alive.

Blind Revolution – Far From the Sun

You need to give Blind Revolution a chance to see why they’re honouring the legends of the arena rock and the hair metal movement.

Vargkvint – Jorden Kallar

Vargkvint might have put a tough goal in front of herself for this album, but she comes through this task with flying colours.

Jerome Froese – Sunsets in Stereo

That’s how incredible Jerome really is. He wants to prove himself that he’s more than just a member of Tangerine Dream.

Gentle Brontosaurus – Three Hares

Three Hares is lovely and listenable, with many pleasing details. It’s almost too pretty to feel heartfelt, but fans of sweet folk-pop will find much to enjoy.

Kiiōtō – Black Salt

It is more of an acoustic take of the original, full of the electronic side of trip hop, and if it was out of  Kiiōtō’s comfort zone, maybe they should stay out of it for a while.

Grice – Filter

It is challenging, yes, but it’s given an astonishing point of wonder and unexpected sceneries that’ll keep you going back more and more to see and hear of what you’ve been missing.

Sunglasz Vendor – ‘Guilty Pleasure’

Flipping its intensity (and volume) up and down throughout its short 3:15 runtime, the track has all the hooks of a soon-to-be-classic indie rock song, but isn’t shy to slice with its experimental edges.

Lightning Bolt / OOIOO – The Horizon Spirals / The Horizon Viral

Literally a game of two halves, this release. For the Lightning Bolt half, it’s another blast of sublime aural extreme greatness.

Trimmo – Arizona

This ‘Arizona’ might not be full of sand, but it is these seemingly small grains of music that make it sound quite big, actually.

VLMV – There Will Come Soft Rains

This is at times a mournful listen, but the songs may offer a little hope to lost souls, with their ornate beauty.

Gout – Actual Bastard

Actual Bastard brings hopelessness, self doubt, nihilism, psychic dread, social anxiety and all yer best boys over for a bag of cans and a pitch black laugh.

Aziola Cry – Dysphoria Ritual

These compositions within the six tracks that is on here, blend in their maturity and distinctive voices throughout their arrangements.

Conic Rose – Wedding

It seems that Conic Rose has further perfected their craft of bringing some fresh air to current modern jazz trends.

Jacob Roberge – The Passing

The Passing is quite the emotional ride with unbelievable results and wonderous sense of arrangements Jacob has brought to the fold.

Crippled Black Phoenix – Sceaduhelm

This album truly lifted my spirit and is a contender for album of the year.
