Long Story Short : Softaware, Steve Hadfield, Matt Evans, Monochrome Echo

I thought I was done with these Long Story Short pieces for the year, but man, the music just isn’t stopping. There’s been some albums I haven’t gotten a chance to dig into until recently so I’m going to throw a couple more albums your way before the clock runs out on 2022. I hate […]

Camp Of Wolves : Dragoon

Less an album of electronic music and more like transmissions from the beyond, his Waxing Crescent Records debut The Importance of Elsewhere is skittering static and disembodied voices from another dimension. It’s as if Pylon opened lines of communication with realms […]
