I grew up in a household that had music playing almost 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. My dad had the biggest music collection and really eclectic taste so…

Camden is host to one of the largest stoner rock festivals in the UK, and that is where I found myself for a long weekend away to experience DesertFest London for the very first time. With multiple venues within Camden over the three-day festival, there was plenty of choice for stoners who travelled far and wide to celebrate buzzing riffs, sludgy bass lines, and a sense of community joined together by hazy air and music.Gnome (c) Love & War PhotographyThe doom band Iron Slug from Kent kicked the festival off at the Black Heart, an iconic pub and home to…

Hue And Cry: Everybody(Blairhill Records)Released 29 May 2026CD | Vinyl | Blu-ray | DL | Streaming4.0 out of 5.0 stars4.0One of this year’s best synth-pop albums hails from an unlikely source. Hue And Cry have no track record in electronic music, but their 16th studio album marks a refreshing change of style. It’s certainly made Robert Plummer’s day.When Hue And Cry came to fame in the late 1980s, sophisti-pop was a power in the land. It wasn’t called that back then, because it’s a rock curator’s retrospective genre, like freakbeat or sunshine pop. Still, Scottish siblings Pat and Greg Kane…

ABSOLUTE LILT, the duo of Lisa Canny and Niamh Hinchy, step into their Heavenly Recordings chapter with P Stands For Paddy, the first track from their forthcoming seven-track Criostal EP. Built around lilting, one of Ireland’s oldest vocal traditions, the track pushes inherited sound into a modern frame. Two voices move in tight, circling motion, creating something hypnotic, playful, and deeply Irish without treating tradition like museum glass.The result lands somewhere between folk memory, club-adjacent pulse, and vocal experiment. It is nonsense by design, but not throwaway. The system is vocal first: rhythm, repetition, breath, and syllables carrying the track…
