‘Flamagra’ and The Return of Flying Lotus

I guess Flying Lotus, aka Steven Ellison, has never really left. He’s just been throwing his creative fire in other directions. His last full-length LP was 2014s insane and amazing You’re Dead!. Ellison made his directorial film debut with the hallucinogenic body horror/comedy film Kuso in 2017(apparently lots of anuses in that one.) Flying Lotus […]

Skragn Takes Flight : A Conversation With Musician Marco Egeberg

Skragn is a made-up word, which you’ll find out further down, but it’s also a very real music project started by Danish electronic musician Marco Egeberg. Egeberg is based in Copenhagen, but is originally from Odense, Denmark. If you’re a regular reader of these pages then you should know the name Odense. It’s the home […]

Now, on […]

Alone 1980 : Beyond

Alone 1980 works in the realm of the classic horror synth soundtrack. It’s not necessarily a new thing, the imagined soundtrack. But in order to do it right and keep someone like me engaged you have to commit fully. If you’re going to make sickly, claustrophobic songs that could fit right into a trashy, B-movie […]

Black Mountain Want To Be Your “Boogie Lover”
