Ramleh – The Great Unlearning – Album Review by Joshua Reedy. (2019) My copy: 2019 press by Nashazphone. Enigmatic British noise project Ramleh operated in the power-electronics scene primarily in the 80s, pushing the boundaries of both music and aesthetics. Fast forward to their most recent release come 2019, The Great Unlearning: an expansive, modern […]
Les Rallizes Denudes – The Oz Tapes – by Josh Reedy. (2022) My copy: 2022 limited remastered reissue on translucent blue vinyl by Temporal Drift. A major draw to the efforts of Japanese noise/psych-rock band Les Rallizes Denudes lies within their inherent mystery – working only as a live act from 1967 to 1996, their […]
The Horrors – Primary Colours – Album Review by Joshua Reedy from Blue Cadet-3 (2009) My copy: 2009 pressing by XL Recordings. Hitting the ground running with their take on post-punk revival by way of grimey garage-rock, England’s Horrors explore deeper sonic flavors through the electronic pulse of Primary Colours. While their conceptual sound isn’t […]
The Books – The Lemon Of Pink (Album Review) – by Joshua Reedy. (2003) My copy: 2016 remastered reissue on yellow vinyl with pink splatter by Temporary Residence Limited. Thought For Food is a tough act to follow – the album is so conceptually fresh that expansion is difficult to anticipate. And so Paul De […]
Cherubs – Short Of Popular – Album Review by Joshua Reedy. (1996) My copy: 2018 remastered reissue on yellow, pink and blue vinyl by Sonic Surgery Records.

Avey Tare – Cows On Hourglass Pond – Album Review by Joshua Reedy. (2019) My copy: 2019 deluxe pressing with bonus 10” by Domino. If Dave Portner (AKA Avery Tare) has proven anything across his now lengthy musical career, it is that he is a firm proponent of contrast. Where the instrumentally warm and inviting […]
Can – Future Days (1973) – Album Review by Joshua Reedy. My copy: 2014 remastered reissue by Spoon Records. Damo Suzuki’s fourth and final release with Can, Future Days sees the kraut-rock poster-children move into a new realm of contemplative ambient tones; their lengthy jamming now removed from corrosive sound experiments so as to focus […]
Duster – Duster – Album Review by Joshua Reedy. (2019) My copy: 2019 press by Muddguts Records. 19 years had passed since Duster’s last transmission, though their cult influence on independent music spheres had only grown in this gap. Perhaps a renewed interest in slowcore and shoegaze drew Duster back down to the Earth; either way, […]

The Holydrug Couple – Moonlust – Album Review by Joshua Reedy. (2015) My copy: 2015 press by Sacred Bones Records. Chilean duo The Holydrug Couple had already released an LP for Sacred Bones in 2013, though follow-up Moonlust managed to attract a much larger audience with boosted production and a heavier emphasis on chillwave-meets-psychedelic-rock. Falling […]
