Carboniferous
May 2025 Latest release on ICR. Rhythmic drone music? After running IC Studio for over 40 years I’ve accumulated a large store of recordings by both myself and the many people I’ve worked with. I was recently looking for some masters of another band on a hard drive, where I stored tracks that had been transferred from old digital tapes. I noticed the folder ‘Period Remixes’ which I decided to open, as I hadn’t listened to the material for many years. The tracks were remixes of Jonathan Coleclogh…

Thank You, Guitar
In the ongoing battle between technical virtuosity and authentic expression, most guitar "shredders" have chosen the wrong side - trafficking in overwrought drama while remaining devoid of soul, viewing music as competitive sport rather than spiritual exploration. Enter Cyrus Pireh, whose latest Palilalia release Thank You, Guitar represents nothing less than a revolutionary approach to "transcendental shred electric guitar music" that upcycles the despised 32nd-note neck sprint into something g…
Mejor Me Voy / Vieja

What's Going On?
*2025 stock* 1983. A distinct malaise afflicted the nation. The UK was about to re-elect Margaret Thatcher by a landslide, cruise missiles arrived at Greenham Common in Berkshire, six people were killed by the IRA outside Harrods, nuclear reactors suffered system failure in the USA, Russia, Argentina and Germany. The Face magazine showed an exhausted youth that everything was OK as long as you looked ‘right’. A curious revisionism had become prevalent. The Jam had become the Style Council and st…
The Mule Peasants Revolt Of 12,067
Certainly! Here’s a 300-character abstract in English:
Historically Fucked—four Manchester-based musicians—create eruptive, improvisational rock, blending voices, guitar, bass, and drums. Their album, “The Mule Peasants’ Revolt of 12,067,” fuses avant-garde chaos, primal energy, and playful experimentation, defying genre for raw, uncivilized sound.
Forefowk, Mind Me
The record is largely sung in Scots language, one of Scotland’s three official languages along with Gaelic and English. “Scots gives me a way of expressing myself which is connected directly with the landscapes I love. It brings the songs alive and it is a fascinating language. The name of the record is in Scots - Forefowk means the people who came before, or ancestors. When we say ‘mind me,’ we can mean a few things- remind, remember, watch over or care for me. The record explores how tradition…

Bitterviper
Tip! In the realm of experimental music, certain collaborations feel inevitable - the convergence of like-minded artists whose individual voices seem destined to merge into something greater than the sum of their considerable parts. Bitterviper represents precisely such a meeting of minds, bringing together four musicians who have each participated in some of the most striking avant-garde music-making of the past two decades for an album that redefines what collaborative minimalism can achieve. …
