I’ve held experimental Bay Area trio Hospital in the highest regard ever since the initial tape release of this collection back in summer 2023. Three brilliant minds working at the very edge of their creativity and allowing us in to hear the results, what could be better? Combining the talents of Kevin Linn (Sad Eyed Beatniks/PresentContinue reading “Hospital – Hospital II”

Poppy H – To The Dead, We Failed/Mother Give Bark Black Fire
The fearless experimental sounds of prolific UK artist/producer Poppy H transcend boundaries until they first become part of our landscape and eventually part of us. It’s not so much that you’re listening to his creations, more like you’re somehow amongst them. Hot on the heels of the recently released albums Grave Era and Confidence OfContinue reading “Poppy H – To The Dead, We Failed/Mother Give Bark Black Fire”
Avi C. Engel – Too Many Souls
Toronto based non-binary musician Avi C. Engel creates otherworldly after-hours folk dreamscapes, combining unfamiliar instrumentation with their indelibly rich vocals to spellbinding effect. Latest album Too Many Souls arrives in both tape (Cruel Nature Records) and CD (Somnimage) formats, and is a continuation of the artist’s truly unique vision. Across the albums seven tracks, theContinue reading “Avi C. Engel – Too Many Souls”
Modern Nature – No Fixed Point In Space
Jack Cooper first came to my attention when Ultimate Painting played my local record shop South back in 2015. I traced back from that bands beautiful post-VU indie to his earlier work with Mazes, and then let him guide me into whole new worlds of sound with the fluid line-ups and sonic shifts of hisContinue reading “Modern Nature – No Fixed Point In Space”
Life In The Jangle Is Hard…

First up, a true heavymetalkids.uk favourite from an undisclosed location somewhere in the UK… Ironic Hill – Bad Stuff (self-released) Following hot on the heels of the cathartic sigh of his self-titled debut album,Continue reading “Life In The Jangle Is Hard…”
Present Electric – s/t
Kevin Linn is at the heart of so much of the great music that comes out of the San Francisco underground. His label Paisley Shirt Records is awash with incredible outsider sounds, he lends his instrumental talent as and when it’s required, and puts out gloriously skewed DIY-pop with his own Sad Eyed Beatniks project.Continue reading “Present Electric – s/t”
Andy Bell & Masal – Tidal Love Numbers
The scene here in Southend had been a little bleak since Covid hit if I’m honest. Alternative pub, hub and venue The Railway finally closed its doors after years of struggle, and with it seemingly died a thousand indie pop dreams. Local labels stopped releasing music and bands stalled and splintered as we, like everybodyContinue reading “Andy Bell & Masal – Tidal Love Numbers”
