Dig Deep : Lars Meijer Talks Hunter Complex, Influences, and ‘Open Sea’

Photos by Isolde Woudstra It doesn’t take long to fall hard for the electro-pop music world of Lars Meijer. Maybe just a song or two. Maybe just the first thirty seconds of a song. His strong ability for melody, propulsive rhythms, and a knack for creating a sound that feels familiar enough that you connect immediately, […]

Jakob Skott : Instrumentality

I remember hearing Jakob Skott for the first time. It was before I realized he was the drummer in Causa Sui, or the co-label runner of El Paraiso Records. I’d just opened my brain up to the world that El Paraiso was building within their roster. I was a newly baptised believer and was primed […]

Pieces Vol 3

We’re less than a week away from all Hallow’s Eve. The ghouls are sharpening their claws and the witches are getting their cauldrons ready to boil up the bones of the innocent…or something like that. Either way, we’re down to just days before Halloween is upon us. The past two weeks have been a countdown […]

Wojciech Golczewski : Tonight She Comes

Wojciech Golczewski is one of the more prolific musicians and film composers working today. He’s put his musical magic to films like We Are Still Here, Mowhawk, Beyond The Gates, Hover, and 400 Days.

Michael C Sharp : End Times in Babylon

Michael C Sharp released his debut album on Holodeck Records last year titled Never Enough Time. It was a heady and densely layered collection of guitar loops and synths woven together to form these dream-like songs. Elements of Steve Reich and Rhys Chatham; as well as guitar touches inspired by guys like Gunter Schickert, Achim Reichel, […]

D.A.L.I : WHEN HARO MET SALLY

If you grew up in the 1980s then you get it. If you grew up just on the outskirts of the neon decade then you might as well have grown up at the turn of the century. The 1980s were a pretty incredible time to be a freckle-faced kid, cruising around the suburbs with nothing […]

Exploring Textures : Michael C. Sharp Talks Collaborations and ‘End Times’

Michael C. Sharp is the musician’s musician. He can jump from drums to keys to guitar when needed(there’s probably more instruments I could add to that list), and he does in his various musical outlets. From Sungod to Äutlier to his solo work, Sharp takes whatever musical reigns in front of him and builds soundscapes and […]

Deadly Avenger : The Girl With The White Orchid

Damon Baxter, aka Deadly Avenger, seems to have found a well of inspiration in the last few months. Not only has he continued his musical contributions to film and television, but he has also set out to deliver a prolific run of Deadly Avenger albums since last year. You might recall his Death Waltz Originals […]

Steve Greene’s “The Evil Behind The Eyes”

Happy Saturday the 14th. Today’s the day where I celebrate the giant that is actor Richard Benjamin. I’ll go grab my betamax copy of his classic Saturday the 14th and enjoy some alone time in the analog den downstairs and contemplate another 64 oz Tang and my 3rd burnt offering of Jiffy Pop. Besides that, […]

Whales & Drones : Ten Questions With Thousand Foot Whale Claw

The first time I heard the name Thousand Foot Whale Claw I thought it was the title of a new High on Fire record. When I found out that wasn’t the case I may have been mildly disappointed. When I found out that Thousand Foot Whale Claw were in fact a drone loving, synth-heavy Krautrock […]
