It’s been a while since I posted here due to moving to London, but I have been busy! Here are the plethora of album reviews, gig reviews and interviews I’ve done since the move.
Features & Interviews
A lengthy look at Coil’s discography through the lens of Albert Camus’ The Rebel. tl;dr: I’m a nerd.
Writing the above piece got me in touch with Thighpaulsandra of Coil and other fame, and I was able to interview him for his latest release The Golden Communion. We had a great chat.
A bit of emotional honesty in looking back at how my taste in music was formed.
Live Shows
Guapo & HIRVIKOLARI live at The Lexington, 3rd September
A splendid gig to start my prog-filled journey in London.
King Crimson at Hackney Empire, London. 7th September
Easily a life highlight. Being able to see my favourite band live was a glorious experience.
Steve Hackett at Shepherd’s Bush Empire. October 7th
Another prog great to cross off the list, and a great gig.
Album Reviews
Two thirds of KoMaRa are back again with another great avant-garde soundscape.
Great musicianship unfortunately not delivering the goods.
Sion Orgon – Recognition Journal
Thighpaulsandra/Coil-associated musician works a diverse array of styles for his new album.
The Stick Man has a unique take on adding to his live improvised soundscapes with this new release.
