German indie rock band VOODOO BEACH have just put out their latest album Wonderful Life. The album itself has been two years in the making and contains their signature sound and blend of indie-rock, jangle pop and neo-psychedelia that, according to Everything Is Noise, creates “an atmosphere that feels right out of a Stephen King film adaptation intro,” which is an apt description given the overall cool and collected mood heard throughout this record. Opening track Fremde Fenster helps to set the vibe yet at the same time doesn’t fully reveal the entire journey the listener is about to go on ..read more

Polar Veil, the new album from HEXVESSEL, the self-styled occult sound of the Finnish forest, comes forth with a harsh frostbitten nature as the album title suggests and sees the band embrace a black metal coldness.

If you’re a fan of trippy, moody prog then chances are you’re already an ELDER fan. To really hammer the point home on their UK tour, they’ve brought along support from the psych rock and stoner aficionados STEAK and SLOMOSA and tonight’s show promises to be a real sonic odyssey. Steak live @ The Electric Ballroom, London. Photo Credit: Emma Barrott Openers STEAK set the scene admirably. Though they’re initially working with a less than stellar turnout, a few songs in they’ve got into the swing of things and the room is considerably busier. Musically sitting somewhere around slightly proggy ps ..read more

After a 14-year-long wait, experimental math-rock band D L G Z make a return with their second full-length Setbacks & Reversals. If there is to be one word to describe the group, that word would be unpredictable. There are no rules, and anything goes when it comes to genres, noise effects and instruments used; you’ll be overwhelmed, but you’ll love every single moment. Confusion sets in immediately as the album opens with its intro track Quasicrystal that sounds like a phone jingle that then turns into a retro game theme song; you’ll be sat there for that minute wondering what th ..read more

Alongside its lengthy history is a rich, vibrant and world-conquering music scene that carried half of UK pop music on its back during the 1980s and 1990s.
