Stream: Courtship – The People Around You
Courtship, Patric Fallon’s playful side-project for writing sluggish, lo-fi pop music, has been unusually silent over the last six months and in a digital world where people move from project to project at an unholy rate this may have led some to believe it had reached its end. Thankfully this is not true, Fallon is planning to give […]

Mix: Triple Lucid Life
If, like us, you’ve been wondering what Lucid has been up to lately, Triple Lucid Life is your answer.

We wish it was possible to package up whatever it is about California that’s been steady bringing out some of our favourite American music as of late.

Recommended: Kevin Eames – The Eddie Willers EP
Last December after letting loose a few cheeky demos on his Soundcloud Kevin Eames released a free collaborative LP, “Bricks”, with one of Canada’s best-kept secrets Prison Garde.

Interview: Kowton
Although Joe Cowton’s alias Kowton might seem like an arbitrary name at first, the name of his own label Pale Fire borrows the title of a Nabokov novel which in turn looks to Shakespeare’s Timon of Athens. “The moon’s an arrant thief / And her pale fire she snatches from the sun” is a line […]

Stream: Mickey Pearce – Tempted / Softly Softly EP
This new Mickey Pearce is giving us feelings. Serious feelings. Mainly the kind that give you night terrors, that you’re not too keen on sharing with your therapist because there must be a limit to how much they can stomach.

Recommended: Dynooo – De Vlindermes
Dynooo is an enigmatic figure in the Belgian beat music underground. His Twitter features a stream of rather incoherent information and his Tumblr shows numerous low-resolution snapshots of, well, things. He preaches triviality: while others use social networks to promote themselves, Dynooo occupies these structures ad absurdum. Moreover, with the excess of pointless tweets and washed out […]
