Album of the Week

Blanck Mass – Animated Violence Mild

On the previous Blanck Mass full-length World Eater - an album that ended up in our top 10 for 2017 - Benjamin John Power certainly brought the noise. However, World Eater was nothing compared to the follow-up. We’re not sure how he’s done it, but that record somehow sounds tame in comparison to Animated Violence Mild.

Single / EP of the Week

Dylan Henner – Stormbird Brother In The Dusk

After debuting on Brighton imprint Phantom Limb back in the early days of 2019, Dylan Henner now returns to the label with his second EP. Stormbird Brother In The Dusk is an unusual title for an unusual record, one that finds Henner building on his previous release A Reason For Living while also pushing his sound in an intriguing new direction.
