I am not that familiar with the original but, after playing them both back to back, the cover wins for me. The guitars and the voice … Continue reading →

Russian act Hiki return with their seventh album A Trip To The Sea. It’s a welcome return to form after April’s underwhelming split release with Green Horizon.

Lorelei – Pale

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ Leave a comment

Australian band Lorelei have released their third single in the shape of Pale. It’s a spiralling, ethereal dream-pop track that, like their previous work, echoes to the ghosts of 1980s 4AD.
