Albums
Steve’s connection to classical instrumentation and the complexities that lie within that has evolved exponentially.
Taking inspiration from the renowned Wall Of Death features at many a motorcycle festival, Lion Drome more than live up to the ferocity, skill and grit of their name throughout this genre-fusing, anthem-loaded album.
From one track to the next things continue to shift gears – heavy fuzz and distortion, melody and poetic wonder, moving into arbitrary statements and ambient space.
Masterful folk-rock and blues meets with instantly likable songwriting, as Ben Stubbs offers up a sensational collection of originals.
A thoughtfully-crafted new collection of intricate, cinematic compositions – designed to guide listeners through a Sacred Japanese landscape and wabi-sabi philosophy.
Every track name continues to explain the roots of the tale, whilst minimal lyrics and vocal expressions support a largely cinematic reference or mood indicative of the feelings, sights and sounds of each passing moment.
We seem to be gathering an entire conversation of thoughts and a certain longing to connect that is the album in full – a project well and truly considerate of the value of words.
Classic production and contemporary effects unite alongside sharp bars and a clear sense of identity – Joe Polo & Lamardre keep things stylish yet authentic, for More Than a Game.
Named after a renowned Nashville bar and restaurant that sadly closed down, The Family Wash promise equal parts nostalgia and freshness in their approach to making music.
Masterfully intertwining heartbreak and comedy across a raw, unedited and honest musicality, Carl Lorusso Jr. delivers a multitude of lyrical and melodic gems throughout this raw folk and blues album.
Best experienced at volume, the fast-paced yet nostalgic project In That Light Of Fading Day delivers not only the organic musical escapism rock fans crave, but also the conceptually provocative depths that naturally get the mind wandering.
