The new album is titled Toward the Low Sun and is coming out in February followed by a tour of Australia and New Zealand in March and some festivals in the UK and Europe over the summer. No word yet on an American leg. But here's [...]

SINGAPORE : I'm Waking Up To... Riot !n Magenta - CTRL Do androids dream of electric sheep? One thinks of such things when the contrast between the organic and inorganic meld together into a primordial blur of passion.

There's tension in every stem as the words haze through: "I [...]

Hey, Hospital Bombers - where are you? I've never written about the Hospital Bombers before which is stupid, because they're one of my very favorite bands. I should've mentioned them way back in 2008-ish when they released their debut album, Footnotes - it was in the top 3 albums of the year on that list I kind of made but never published.
