ALBUM REVIEW – MULL HISTORICAL SOCIETY: IN MY MIND, THERE’S A PHOTOGRAPH

For over two decades, Mull Historical Society has occupied a unique space between indie-pop experimentation, literary storytelling and deeply personal songwriting. The project is the work of Colin MacIntyre, who grew up on the Isle of Mull surrounded by folklore and storytellers. He adopted the name from his local historical society – a decision that […]

LIVE REVIEW – FRIENDSHIP + WYATT: YES PINK ROOM – 09/05/2026

I became aware of alt-country quartet Friendship through their bassist, Jon Samuels, who I saw playing live as part of MJ Lenderman’s ‘the Wind’ touring entourage nearly a year ago. Though he played guitar in that lineup – the bass duties covered by the loveable Landon George – his energy in that show was as […]

ALBUM ROUNDUP WEEK ENDING 22 MAY 2026

The Coral          388 A surprise release from the band, recorded in two weeks and inspired by Rocksteady, vocal groups of the early 60s, Ethiopiques compilations and “the highs, lows, births and deaths of the last three decades.” Ed O’Brien         Blue Morpho    Though he remains one of rock music’s most lauded guitarists, Blue Morpho finds […]

ALBUM REVIEW – CQ WRESTLING: RESISTANCE

After three long years, CQ Wrestling (formerly known as Chappaqua Wrestling) are back with the release of their second album, Resistance. What stands out about CQ Wrestling is their consistent delivery of a rich, dreamy blend of indie rock. After the release of their debut album, Plus Ultra, in 2023, it was intriguing to see what path the duo would take with their sophomore album, Resistance. During their three-year break, CQ Wrestling have matured, found their sound, and created […]

ALBUM REVIEW – TRACY BRYANT: THE WELL

Two major events provide the backdrop to Tracy Bryant’s fourth solo album: his father’s death and the birth of his first child. While references to the former feature more prominently in the lyrics, it does not have the air of a sackcloth and ashes record. Musically, it took shape in the pandemic which brought Bryant’s […]

INTERVIEW – THE HOOSIERS

The Hoosiers deliver signature dabs of eccentricity, colour and play with such consistent buoyancy, the optimism of the late 2000s somehow finds itself firmly nestled in their most recent of releases. Their latest endeavour, a sprawling, beautifully anxious exploration of the world we now live in, aims to bring a shade desperately lacking from the […]

EP REVIEW : BLEECH 9:3 – BLEECH 9:3

Even before releasing anything, Bleech 9:3 became much talked-about from their thrilling live shows and raw energy and since the announcement of their self-titled debut EP, the hype has not died down. Not only selling out headline tours but also landing spots on a ton of festival lineups (impressive for a band with only 4 […]

ALBUM REVIEW – GUTTERSNIPE: EXTINCTION BURST!

ALBUM ROUNDUP WEEK ENDING 15 MAY 2026

Tamikrest          Assikel                Sixth studio album from Saharan rock band. The album is by turns intimate, raw and deeply atmospheric. Recorded on analogue tape, with the band playing live and direct, ‘Assikel’ fully captures their instinctive interplay and hypnotic presence. Songs of resistance, community and longing. Kelley Stoltz     If You Don’t Know Me, Buy Now            A […]

ALBUM REVIEW – RADHIKA: CINE-POP

Clocking in at 33.3 minutes, ‘Cine-Pop’ could be almost too conceptually perfect. Paying tribute to the speed at which a vinyl LP is played, it is ideal for listening to in one sitting. It does not overstay its welcome but has sufficient time to explore its musical enthusiasms. Fortunately, though, it is lacking in the […]
