The entire listening experience may leave you spellbound, and demands a good set of headphones to catch all the nuances.

Instrumental metal has a world of possibilities and if you allow yourself, then Ghosts of Glaciers will take you there and then some.

Stripped back instrumentation paired to punchy structural minimalism for a sound that is both urgent and intimate.

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

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

Friday includes the sitting room of a haunted cottage, the incantations of Welsh witches, fluoro-badgers in hoodies roaming the streets, noise-rock anime super heroes, and samosas for starters.

It is the EP that’ll take repeatable listens to sink in, and how they proven themselves that they’re more than just the bands that they’re known for, and take it up a notch.

Fire in the Night is a great introduction for newcomers who want to get into the band’s music.

Their songs are like glimmers of sunshine on a partly cloudy day.

Moonflower is simply stunning. The vocals in particular are out of this world, and the accompanying music will have you flying in the clouds.

If there is an ounce of you that likes shoegaze then New Ghost will serve you something you will want to return to with A Dagger In Every Tide.

An oddly compelling record from one of our best modern songwriters out there. Long may this band run!

An unsettling and beautifully rendered album, possibly the band’s best work. Highly recommended for all dream pop, shoegaze, and slowcore fans.

They’re in a fun mood, leaning into their more punk instincts.

I am so psyched to see new material from Manchester stalwarts, The Chameleons, their first new material in over twenty years!

DVNE manages to be heavy without falling into the usual metal tropes, creating a technically excellent and emotionally resonant work, a worthy additional to the band’s back catalogue.

The worst thing about this record is going to be the fact there’s nothing on the other side. Get it. 

Anyone who digs 80s synth pop will love this record.

If you miss Neurosis then you will do more than just satisfy the itch here.

In places this is a tough chew but ultimately it is rewarding for patience and understanding of the magnitude of accomplishment here.

One of the finest examples of organic and original heavy post-rock I have heard in quite some time.
