Skrillex links with ISOxo on Smoke. A pressure-built club record shaped for impact. Tight low-end, high-energy transitions, and a system designed to hit fast in live rotation. The release extends a working chemistry first tested on fuze, previewed in a back-to-back set at Niteharts Festival. This time, the structure lands cleaner. Less exploratory, more locked-in for repeatability across festival systems.Skrillex by Hendrik SchneiderIt follows Duro with Young Miko and a South America run cutting through Lollapalooza Argentina, Lollapalooza Chile, Lollapalooza Brazil, and Estéreo Picnic. Side-stage moments with Bizarrap and a Veneno Radio livestream alongside RHR and MC Dricka reinforce the…

By 2011 it had been almost 20 years since Fiona Flanagan had released new music. The effervescent American enjoyed a run of four albums back in the day, from 1985’s excellent debut Fiona, through to 1992’s underrated Squeeze album. She also had a role in the Bob Dylan-led Hearts Of Fire movie and married Beau Hill, one of the most in-demand producers in the business. Fiona’s star was definitely in the ascendancy. But then, as she laughingly put it, “Beau divorced me – and then my career divorced me.” And so the self-confessed ‘soccer mom’ was as surprised as anyone…

Authentic pre-war country blues played by an acclaimed 12-string master.This is Albright’s fourth album of acoustic country blues, played finger-picked style on a 12-string guitar. An acknowledged master of this style of playing, Albright doesn’t even own a 6-string. As the only contemporary player of the 12-string in this genre, he has been recognised for his mastery of the blues style as well as being a more than accomplished exponent of the 12-string acoustic; indeed, in 2019, he produced a 12-string guitar instructional video. His previous album, the critically acclaimed Detroit Twelve String: Blues & Rags, was released by Jack…
Ahead of the interview, the band’s team asked not to delve too deeply into lyrical specifics, given how intensely personal they are. No Feeling deals with suicidal ideation (‘No feeling, no pain, no-one to blame,’ laments Mike over a gorgeous, soothing melody that echoes like oblivion. ‘Forever awaits, it’s just an eternal blank page…’), while Bad Moons references his ex-wife and ends in a musically blissful spiral of existential bleakness. But what he does address is that fact that, though it captures a dark time, that’s all firmly in the past. “The record was finished maybe a year ago,” he…
“That Madison Square Garden gig was the best music I enjoyed playing since the Cavern or even Hamburg,” John Lennon raved, shortly after his matinee and evening concerts with Yoko on August 30, 1972. Last year’s Power To The People boxset provided the tumultuous context to these benefit shows for the Willowbrook School for mentally impaired children. This parallel release concludes a 20-year project to restore and re-edit what would remain Lennon’s sole full-length gigs since 1966, a fact made all the more tragically remarkable by his exuberant vocal and guitar attack, clearly relishing every second. Director Simon Hilton has…
Photo: J. AirdIt’s a return to what is becoming his London home, Julian Taylor and his crack UK band for a Green Note presents concert at The Water Rats. A pretty much packed out room – this is a sold out gig, with the venue split between rows of seats and standing behind them. Supported by Siân Monaghan on drums and vocals, Raevennan Husbandes on a variety of guitars and Michele Stodart on bass, Julian Taylor started the evening with the instantly recognisable The Ridge, title track of what was his initial breakthrough release this side of the Atlantic. It’s…

Heavy Stereo, Hurricane #1, Arnold, Kevin Rowland in suspenders… it’s generally accepted that Creation Records did not invest their Oasis windfall wisely. Yet amid the frenzy of the mid-’90s guitar-band goldrush, they did make one very shrewd acquisition, swooping in to sign Super Furry Animals after only the band’s second show proper outside Wales – even if Alan McGee subsequently let slip that this may have been more a case of luck than judgement. “Initially I just heard Super Furry Animals as being similar to Blur,” McGee told SFA biographer Ric Rawlins. “So I thought, ‘Well, fuck! Blur sell lots…
