Gyan Rosling : Embrace

There’s something ethereal and free-spirited about Gyan Rosling’s Burning Witches Records debut Embrace. The neon-eighties tilt, the airy synths, and the ‘Dance Party USA’-like percussive hits all come together like a swath of nostalgia that hit you direct in the face. Embrace is a time machine of an album that drops us right into 1986, […]

Hunter Complex : Dead Calm and Zero Degrees

One of my absolute music highlights in 2019 was discovering the amazing Lars Meijer, aka Hunter Complex.
