Back In The HCA
*2025 stock. 150 copies limited edition* In 1972, four design students at the now defunct Hornsey College of Art (HCA) in London decided to make a record; neither the result of nascent dreams of stardom nor of fastidiously developed musi-cianship. Bowes Road Band’s sole LP was simply the result of an impulse to create. With only fifty copies originally pressed, the LP’s Berlin flea market discovery revealed a foray into a delicately balanced world of psycho-trip meltdowns, rich jazz improvisatio…

Plough Through The Rust
The DIY ramshackle energy we know and love from the group is present and familiar, as is the dry wit and authenticity (a word I’m nervous in using, but if the shoe fits), however Plough Through the Rust often sees the group's songwriting taking a more introspective and personal path. Whereas Pig City was sonically expansive (and three songs here are drawn from those sessions), Rust often draws things closer, finding the charm within the scaled back honesty and rawness.
"Like Velvet Underground i…

Poems From A Rooftop
Oliver Doerell and Roger Doering's Dictaphone might not be the most prolific project around, but what they lack in frequency they make up for in sheer impact. 'Poems from a rooftop' is their third album in ten years, and is the first to feature new member Alexander Stolze on violin.
