Foxy Digitalis

Primarily a digital artist, Huddersfield-based Charlotte Roe’s Words Out Of Words release is an oblique and entertaining portion of musical abstraction. Based on the artist’s coding / generative portfolio, and experimental works found online, it’s likely that there’s a pretty fascinating ‘how’ story about how the tracks here came to be created. While it’d be interesting to […]
Another semi-solid something-or-other in the stream of Chocolate Monk releases, this is a double solo header of electronics and voice from label heads Karen Constance and Dylan Nyoukis, with a typically atypical closing number. Karen’s 14-minute piece is mostly electronics, taking on an elongated toothpaste worm form of modular sounds and improvised half melodic notions. […]
PURCHASE HERE Cassette label Invisible City Records plays host to what might well be Culver and Xazzaz’s fourth full-length collaboration. It’s a ‘might’ because both these UK drone/noise artists’ discographies are so devotedly analog, with little to zero online presence. On this latest joint effort, 70s / 80s Horror soundtrack aesthetics are the order of […]
Written and produced during an artist residency in the North East of England, The Circle Dance sees Me Lost Me aka Jayne Dent continuing to stretch her fingers out into nature, future and place. A sense of immersion into curated environments is quickly established across the EP’s five songs, the record immediately placing the listener in Dent’s […]
Track titles for improvisatory music are very often weird, often obscure, or often arbitrary, and most annoyingly seek to impose form on the formless. Rarely do they match the sound as perfectly as Warm Former’s opener “Lemonlark Meadows”. Splooging out a selection of sharp citrusy tones into a buoyant display of sweet bleep heaven and […]
Even though Justin Broadrick has been using the JK Flesh alias for about a decade or so, it’s an unfortunate given that he’ll always be better known as the Godflesh guy. Obsessively prolific under many monikers, JK Flesh has been the strain of thought he’s used for electronic influences, and here he’s creating music that […]
Milk in the Sun is an odd choice for the title of a record as sun-dappled and scrappily appealing as this. Pitched more as psychedelic indie pop, and out on the well-respected psych label Moon Glyph, Milk in the Sun is more in the vein of a slightly buzzed c86 color scheme and some of that sound’s classic […]
With his first release since January 2021’s incredibly titled debut long-player, I’ve Called Off The Search, I Know Exactly Where You Are, Katia Krow (aka Dubai resident Odi Suood) offers a further soundscape dispatch from the event horizon. At only 22 minutes long, for a noise/drone hybrid release, this is super respectful of the listener’s time […]
Doesn’t Exist is hazy lounge music played in a basement club, except the club is actually a NY apartment bedroom lit by a Tracey Emin neon ‘question’ art piece – and it’s one of those bleak rhetorical questions about love. Oh, and someone may have smoked a bit of weed in there, about five minutes or […]
