Album Reviews

Mighty Mouse - Song With No Word (History/Disco Circus)
This collection of post-disco, pre-acid house-style electronic instrumentals is a puzzling exercise in postmodernism. To misquote Casablanca, of all the styles in all the world, why did they have to revive this one?

V/A - Isvolt (Robot Elephant)
Another overhyped, spurious sub-genre, or the next big thing? The blogosphere is split over ‘witch house’, the name that Houston’s Disaro Records has given to a pretty disparate bunch of artists making dark, druggy and distorted electronic music.

Flowers Of Hell - O (Optical Sounds)
Arranged from improvisations and recorded in one take, The Flowers Of Hell’s newest release O feels like staring deeply into a milky gemstone of shape and colour.

Franz Nicolay - Luck And Courage (Decor)
A musically matured and moustache-strokingly interesting account of modern day stories within the US.

V/A - This Is UK Grime Vol. 1 (Defenders)
This Is UK Grime Vol. 1 is brought to you by Defenders and serves up a selection of grime which bridges the mainstream with the underground. If all you’ve heard about grime are the negative stereotypes painted by people in the media who know nothing about it, then this is a compilation which should help shift the balance in favour of what grime is all about.
