MUSIC REVIEWS
London based Hip-hop, classically bent, lyricist Ultra_eko delivers tortured pleas to the great unknown with his soon to be released “Dark Nights of the Soul” album. The lyricism, as always, is stellar from Ultra_eko, and the journey feels unusually personal, even unflinchingly.
REPTIEL use a mind-melting blend of styles, textures, and timbres in the otherworldly “Down Below World” album, which is their fifth, and third in their SciFi/Fantasy, Psychedelic Prog Rock series featuring the story of protagonist Sine and his transgalactic guide the Spirit Usher.
Cardiff's own Mirari has unveiled his highly anticipated debut EP, 'The Last Cowboy,' marking a significant milestone in his musical journey. The EP, released on November 22nd, serves as a comprehensive introduction to Mirari's diverse and captivating sound, showcasing his unique blend of influences and experiences.
A post-modern hip-hop radio play, Ultra_eko and DaRealMrLee craft an otherworldly stage with their brand new “Legends of the Underside” album. So much gets incorporated into the mix that it becomes impossible to sort out (in a good way).
22 year old experimental electronic producer Mikebøi confounds all expectations on the emotionally charged “Human Nature” EP. In a hybrid series of styles, there are an endless number of angles that are pursued. Pop, dubstep, noise, hip-hop, broken beats, and brittle textures reign supreme.
Los Angeles based musician/filmmaker KS brings the grooves in unexpectedly sly ways on his cinematic new album “The Dancing Cavaliers”. Forgoing vocals, there is a classic cool to the way that he stretches the rhythms out.
Vinyl Floor has released their brand new album “Funhouse Mirror”; read our in-depth review of the project now.
“Chapel Ceilings” shows a wide range of Ezza of Choom Gang and Kadaj the god’s ability to tie together a whole plethora of emotions, from outright fire to quiet contemplative moments.
Smeared surrealism soaked in acidic alliteration gives JSDavani’s “The Melancholiac II” a wonderful and wild approach. Entirely and utterly baffling, the songs defy easy categorization.
