Album Review: “A Sense Of Unease” – Kiffie
Kiffie has released his new album. These are my words on it. The End Kiffie opens this up with a track that fades up with a synth pad that kind of modulates, lots of chorused synthesis in this. In this slice of the pie there’s also a very low arpeggio that you don’t notice on …

Single Review: “Brother Chumbo” – Kontiki
Years ago I knew a kid in my neighbourhood called Chumbo. His family were from North Africa. I’m not sure exactly where. He was a bright kid, loved his football, and always had a big smile. When he moved, his friends around him were so sad, I never saw him again, and nothing on the …

Album Review: “Delta Breakdown” The Heavy North.
Grumble grumble… Liverpool…. grumble grumble… Talent from drinking the water of the river mersey. Grumble… Annoyingly good songs. Grumble. Oh hey! So…. My boys from Liverpool The Heavy North dropped their new album. And guess what? It’s bloody brilliant. This for me takes over from where their debut album left off, it’s bluesy as hell, …
