Of all the bands I’ve come across over the last few years there’s only one that defies all attempts to pigeon hole or classify. Philadelphia’s SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE have made some of the last decades most ground-breaking music across four stunning studio albums. Each album more confounding and spellbinding than the last. Entertainment, DeathContinue reading “SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE – I’m So Lucky”

Studio Kosmische – Beyond the Circle of The Fixed Stars
If you’re fortunate enough to snag a vinyl copy of the new Studio Kosmische album then what follows will be old news. I was lucky enough to be asked to write a review to appear on the album’s obi strip.

Night Beats – Rajan
Always on the hunt for new music I recently stumbled across Night Beats, the psychedelic brainchild of Texas-born, LA-based artist Danny Lee Blackwell. He’s just released his sixth studio album entitled Rajan and it immediately caught my ear. Some of this album’s tracks sound like they come right out of a Sergio Leone movie. IContinue reading “Night Beats – Rajan”

It’s at this time of the year I always watch my inbox closely. It’s around this time we get the next annual instalment of Alexander Donat’s Fir Cone Children project.

Feeble Little Horse – Girl With Fish
Last year I stumbled across the stunning debut album from Pittsburgh DIY noise makers Feeble Little Horse. Hayday was an instant hit with its slacker sensibilities and killer songs.

After wowing us with their Affectations EP last year LA based musicians Lauren Andino and Glenn Fryatt return with a new single, ‘Dark Glasses’. This band have been out on two full US tours pulling material together for a full-length album later in the year. Until then they are teasing us with another serving ofContinue reading “Tremours – Dark Glasses”
Under The Sun – Robot World
I’ve made no secret of the fact I love shoegaze music. What I love even more is when I hear someone take that genre I love so much and push and stretch it into new and exciting shapes. In the UK we’re lucky to have Matt Catling aka Under The Sun. Regular visitors to StaticContinue reading “Under The Sun – Robot World”

Psychedelic dream weavers Thought Bubble are back with a new album.

They create a colourful soundscape based around luscious synthContinue reading “Thought Bubble – Weaving”
Strangers in My House – Leave It Undefined
Drifting in to my consciousness this week came the debut album from Polish gazers Strangers In My House. This enigmatic four piece from Kraków have released three singles and an EP since forming in 2019. Leave It Undefined is their first long player and looks to develop on that dreamy, shoegaze sound to something allContinue reading “Strangers in My House – Leave It Undefined”
