Andrew Hung is an artist known for his collaborations (Fuck Buttons, Beth Orton), film soundtracks (The Greasy Strangler, An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn) and his own music (Realisationship, Devastations). Hung’s third album Deliverance follows the critically-acclaimed Devastations. Deliverance is the aftermath of celestial collisions, where life sparks and shadows roam.

Ahead of his in-store gig here, to celebrate the release of his new solo record Deliverance, Andrew made us a...

2023, electrelane, further listening, it hugs back, matthew simms, memorials, mix, playlist, verity susman, wire -

A seismic, cinematic double dose from two sonic veterans with previous in Wire, Electrelane, and Better Corners. MEMORIALS’ kaleidoscopic debut covers broad musical territory, encompassing protest songs, fuzz-flooded pop, searing drone, and psychedelic freakouts whilst carving out a sound that is uniquely their own. Both halves of this dynamic double album were originally conceived as individual film soundtracks but once the multi-instrumental duo of Verity Susan & Matthew Simms brought ‘Music For Film’ into a live space, the desire to shape it into a cohesive whole was more than they could resist.

2022, Albums of the year, best of, records of the year, south records, southend -

As another year of ups and downs stutters to an end I've been trying to wrangle some of the best music that's been released in our (near) 9 years in to a definitive order. Of course, putting an objective art form in to an order of 'best' is a fools errand, so I make no claims that one is better than another, just these are records I love. So, here they are, in an order that currently makes sense to me (but no doubt will change the second it's published). What is definite is that these records, especially those in...
